Knowing that Ste was fine, Veronica breathed a sigh of relief. She moved her foot, but the pain in her ankle made her lose her bnce. Veronica almost fell. Her ankle was swollen so badly that it became as big as an apple.


    With a sullen face, Raymond helped Veronica sit down aside. "Didn''t I tell you to wait in the hall? Why did you run around?"


    Because Veronica''s ankle was sprained, when Raymond and Edwin took people to look for Ste, Raymond asked Veronica to wait in the hall and not to go anywhere.


    However, soon after that, Veronica moved on her own and even made her injury worse.


    Veronica felt sorry, and she didn''t dare to look into Raymond''s eyes. "I ... I was worried about Ste, so I didn''t want to just wait there and..."


    "So, weren''t you worried that your injury would be worse and you would be a cripple?" Raymond''s voice was still gloomy. "Before you do anything, can you think about it first?" Veronica thought, "Was he saying that I was stupid?''


    Veronica frowned and then retorted in a bad tone, "Even if I became a cripple, it wouldn''t have anything to do with you, and I wouldn''t let you be responsible."


    Listening to the content of the quarrel, Edwin was annoyed. He pointed at Veronica and said to the doctor, "Please check her ankle."


    Previously, the doctor had been yelled at by Raymond. This time, he had to check Veronica''s injury again. The doctor was nervous.


    After taking a careful look, the doctor said, "Her ankle is swollen badly. Fortunately, her foot is fine. However, because the bump is too big, she needs to take some anti-inmmatory medicine to subside the swelling. She will be fine in two days."


    "Are you sure her foot is fine?" Raymond looked at the doctor doubtfully.


    The doctor nodded hard. "I''m sure."


    Because of the doctor''s guarantee, Raymond didn''t look so angry anymore.


    He turned to look at Edwin. "Let Ms. Bruno rest here today. Also, I hope you can give me an exnation for today''s matter."


    Edwin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "Of course. Rest assured. I will definitely investigate it thoroughly and give you an exnation."


    Although Edwin wasn''t very reliable at times, he would normally do it if he made a promise.


    After getting Edwin''s promise, Raymond looked down at Veronica. "Alright, your ssmate is safe now. She will stay here tonight. You go back with me."


    Veronica''s eyes were fixed on Ste, who was gradually recovering on the bed. Then, Veronica nced at Edwin cautiously.


    "No. I don''t know if this person will do something bad to my ssmate. Moreover, how can I leave them alone and not worry?"


    Edwin pointed at his own nose in shock. "Ms. Luke, what did you just say? Me and your ssmate?"


    At this time, Ste, who was lying on the bed, was conscious a little and slowly opened her eyes.


    Veronica refuted Edwin directly, "That''s right. I don''t trust you. Your guest did such a despicable, shameless, and bad thing. How can I believe that you are not like him?" Edwin didn''t know what to say.


    He was furious.


    "With my family background and my status, I can get any woman I want. Why would I want such an ugly woman with an ugly body? No matter how horny I am, I won''t like her." Ste heard that.


    Edwin had just finished speaking when he felt a strange gaze at him in the room. As soon as he turned his head, Edwin saw that the woman he had just mentioned was staring at him with a strange gaze. Somehow, Edwin felt a little awkward when he met Ste''s eyes.


    He said that in front of her because he thought Ste was unconscious. Unexpectedly, Ste woke up so coincidentally.


    She was still in aa just now.


    Veronica looked at Edwin coldly. "Even if you say so, I don''t trust you."


    Edwin looked at Veronica helplessly. "Ms. Luke, what can I do to let you believe me?"


    "Tonight, I will stay here too. Only then can I be at ease!" Veronica told her thoughts.


    Edwin shrugged casually.


    "It doesn''t matter. If you want to stay, you can stay. It''ll be easier for me. I don''t have to arrange for other people to take care of your friend."


    Stey on the bed and looked at Veronica. She was still in fear. Ste said softly, "Veronica."


    Veronica endured the pain in her foot and quickly jumped to Ste''s bedside. She grabbed Ste''s hand andforted her.


    "Ste, don''t worry. I won''t leave tonight. I''ll stay here with you."


    Ste smiled weakly and said, "Thank you, Veronica."


    Veronica caressed Ste''s face tenderly. "Alright, I''ll be here. Don''t be afraid. I''ll stay here tonight with you."


    "Okay."Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    "The medicine effect in your body just disappeared. Have a good rest. I''ll be with you."


    "Okay!"


    After being scared for one night, Ste slept soundly with Veronica''s gentlefort. However, she still held Veronica''s hand tightly. Standing aside, Edwin and Raymond could feel the deep friendship between Veronica and Ste.


    Seeing that, the two men walked out of the guest room together.


    After leaving the guest room, Edwin said, "Raymond, are you going back now?"


    Raymond looked at him coldly. "No. I will stay here tonight too."


    Edwin didn''t know what to say.


    Ste had no choice but to stay here because she was hurt. Veronica stayed to apany Ste. Raymond had never stayed in Edwin''s house overnight. Edwin wondered why he would stay tonight.


    "But I want you to do something with me tonight." Raymond gave Edwin a meaningful look.


    Seeing the gaze, Edwin immediately understood what Raymond meant.


    He raised his eyebrows excitedly. "Okay, we haven''t had fun together for a long time."


    ...
