Chapter 227 A Silent Confession

Hearing her words, Abraham’s hand froze for a moment.

Then, without a word, he scooped her up–blanket and all–and settled her on his lap.

“Ow, it hurts,” Stella whimpered.

Abraham gently pulled the blanket away from her face.

What met his eyes was Stella’s flushed little face, red from holding her breath for so long.

Abraham’s expression was serious.

Stella blinked up at him, her wide eyes shimmering with unshed tears, looking impossibly pitiful.

Abraham sighed helplessly. “It hurts a lot?”

Stella nodded, looking absolutely miserable.

Abraham carefully checked her over despite her protests. She was injured not seriously, but definitely hurt.

After the check, Stella immediately dove back under the covers. “You get out now!”

Abraham chuckled softly, reached out, and pulled the blanket off her head again.

Stella started fighting him like a wildcat.
