Chapter 558


    Chapter 558


    It was clear Weston knew very little of Ste’s past life.


    The sound of rushing water filled the bathroom. After soaking in the bathtub for a while, Ste finally


    got up and turned on the shower.


    She had no idea Weston recently loved letting Ste soak in the bath. He would even help her clean


    her body with a curious fervor as if the activity gave him a lot of pleasure.


    But Ste never liked soaking in the bathtub.


    Now that he had gotten angry and left the room, there was no reason to keep soaking. So she got out


    and took a shower instead.


    The water soon stopped flowing. Ste opened the door and walked out…


    As soon as she stepped into the bedroom, her eyes met with Weston’s, and she stopped dead in her


    tracks.


    “You’re not in bed yet?” she asked, breaking the silence.

    Weston looked coldly at her and said nothing. He seemed to be trying to ignore her.


    Ste’s eyes glimmered. She, too, said nothing.


    Weston was getting more and more unpredictable these days. She had no idea what kind of mood he


    was in right now, but she was pretty sure that she made him angry in the bathroom.


    But that would be bad, because she still had something to ask of him. Knowing this, Ste had to


    swallow her pride and try to cheer him up. She took a deep breath, softened her expression, and


    turned her gaze towards him.


    “Is the cut on your face okay?” she asked.


    When he was helping her in the bathroom just now, she noticed that a little bit of the soapy water had


    sshed onto the cut on his face. He stormed out before she could clean il, and Sie feared that it


    mighi be getting worse.


    “If you’re not going to bed yet,” Sie continued, inching closer towards him, “then let me take care of


    the cut for you,“


    So you did notice that I was injured 100,” he finally responded with his icy stare fixed on her.


    Ste knew that those words wereced with sarcasm, but she merely pursed her lips and did not


    argue with him.


    Seeing no response from her, Weston suddenly got up and turned on his heels to leave, but Ste


    quickly grabbed his arm and stopped him


    “If you knew that you were injured,” she said, “then why did you have to help me in the bathroom? You


    need to take care of that cut now, because I saw it got sshed with water. It’ll fester if you don’t do


    anything…”


    Ste started nagging as if truly worried about him, but Weston turned his back on her and did not


    respond.


    At a loss, Ste took a step forward and gently tugged on his sleeve.


    “Just let me take care of the cut on your face, okay?”


    Weston finally turned around to face her, looking straight into her eyes. After a long, tense silence, his


    gaze moved downward and stopped at the hand that was holding onto his sleeve.


    “I thought you only care about Roger,” he said. “After all, his injuries are far more serious than mine.”


    Ste couldn’t tell if it was sarcasm or disdain in those words.


    After forcing herself to calm down, she slowly exined, “Well, he’s a grown-up now. He can look after


    himself. He’s got a friend to take care of him as well anyway. I can just go see him tomorrow. But right


    now, your wound needs to be taken care of


    Before she could finish speaking, she was startled by his terrifying scowl. He suddenly took a step


    forward and pinned her against the wall.


    She looked up at him.


    The cold of the wall bit into her back. There was nowhere to run or hide from him. Like it or not, she


    was forced to meet his fiery gaze.


    “I’m really sorry…” she started meekly. “I know you’re angry, but I


    didn’t know what else to do back in the bar…”


    “So you do realize why I’m angry at you?”


    His gaze sent shivers down her spine. His whole body seemed to be surrounded by a bloodcurdling


    aura.


    “Do you know what he would’ve done to you if I hadn’t got there in time?!” he asked. “I shouldn’t have


    let him go so easily!”


    What really irked him was how Ste would help others without once considering her own safety.


    “But things would’ve gonepletely out of hand if you did more than what you’ve already done…”


    Ste argued, deliberately ignoring the first part of his sentence.


    She thought of how violent Weston was in the bar. He could’ve almost killed Rory.


    Thinking of this, she shook her head and added, “You shouldn’t have been so brash.”
