Chapter 154

Sebastian cast her a sidelong glance and touched her forehead. The fever had gone down.

His gaze was warm. “What could I possibly be hiding, from you?”

“Was it you who did that to Olivia?” Stephanie asked,

Overnight, Olivia had been thrown out of the hospital. There was no doubt it was Sebastian’s doing

Sebastian pulled her into his arms in one swift motion. Stephanie lost her balance and ended up straddling his lap.

“Hiss–” She sucked in a sharp breath. The pain was unbearable, like a numbing ache radiating through her body.

Sebastian noticed how her face scrunched up in discomfort. “Hurts again?

“Be gentler,” Stephanie said. “It really hurts.”

“Sorry, I forgot,” Sebastian said.

Stephanie froze for a second. Hearing him say he forgot sent a chill down her spine. Why would he forget?

“You can’t forget,” she said firmly.

Luckily, he hadn’t forgotten about last night. Otherwise, she would have felt completely wronged with no one to take responsibility for what had happened.

Sebastian massaged her legs. “Does it hurt here?”

“It’s really sore,” Stephanie said. At this point, her legs barely felt like they belonged to her.

Sebastian continued massaging gently. “You’re so delicate.”

Stephanie pouted.

Sebastian arched a brow. “You haven’t been working out all these years?”

Hearing that, Stephanie suddenly felt a little guilty. Sebastian made it a rule to ensure a minimum amount of exercise every day.

Ever since she left Fiorenza, she had been living in complete disregard for discipline.

“You haven’t?” he repeated.

Stephanie, feeling guilty, gave a small nod.

“Once you’ve recovered, you’ll run for an hour every day,” Sebastian said.

Stephanie groaned internally. ‘An hour? He might as well kill me now, she wondered.

“So it really was you who did that to Olivia?” she asked again.

“Last night, Elliot met with the driver who hit you two years ago. I don’t know what was said,” Sebastian replied.

Stephanie didn’t believe that for a second. Of course, he knew.

Sebastian smirked. “What’s the matter, Stefi? Are you feeling sorry for her?”
