Chapter 44


    Glenda waited until they heard a door upstairs m closed, then she hurried over to Cam.


    “You don’t look well. Are you ill?”


    Cam shook her head. “No.”


    “You haven''t had dinner yet, have you?” the housekeeper prodded. “Is there something you would like to eat?”


    Cam didn’t really have an appetite at the moment.


    And she wasn’t sure which room Isaac had gone into, but she knew that she didn’t want to spend another second in his


    presence. She buried her face in the sofa and murmured, “I just want to sleep. Please get me a nket.”


    Glenda sighed and went to fetch a nket, draping it over Cam’s frail body. “Get some rest. I''ll make some food for you. You


    can heat it up and eat it when you wake up.”


    Cam turned her head to Look at Glenda. The housekeeper was the only source of warm andfort in this cold, dark ce.


    “Thank you, Glenda,” she rasped.


    “You''re wee.” Glenda smiled.


    Cam closed her eyes as Glenda turned off the main light, leaving only two night Lights by the hallway.


    Cam fell into a deep slumber. She was still fast asleep when the clock struck eleven, so Glenda retired for the night as well.

    halfway down to the floor.


    He walked over and watched her for a while. There was no way he was going to pick up the nket and tuck her in.


    When he made to leave, however, Cam’s hand suddenly shot out and grabbed his robe.


    She pulled with such strength that she managed to undo the tie, revealing his strong, muscr body.


    Just like that, Isaac got mad all over again. He all but roared at her, “What are you doing?”


    Cam was having a nightmare. In her dream, two massive snakes had wrapped their scaly bodies around her, squeezing the


    life out of her Just when she thought she would suffocate to death, a sh of Light appeared and she reached out to grab it with


    all her strength...


    She was about to be saved...This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    When she opened her eyes, she found a tall, disheveled-looking man standing in front of her. Anger was written all over his face.


    She sobered up in an instant and sat up abruptly. “Wh-what’re you doing?” she stammered, scared and startled


    Having just woken up, her voice was particrly hoarse.


    And there was a slight tremble as she spoke


    Isaac sneered sarcastically. She was the one who had deliberately grabbed his robe, yet she had the audacity to pretend to be


    startled?


    “Nice try, pretending to be asleep and grabbing my robe out of the blue.”
