    Chapter 90 Please Stay


    In danger?


    Colbert''s brow furrowed slightly, a look of contemtion painted on his handsome face, hinting at an


    undercurrent of concern.


    A hint of unease he had not noticed earlier.


    At that moment, Alva emerged from the ward. Noticing the unusual expression on Colbert''s face, she


    asked, "Colbert, what''s wrong?"


    The Baldwin family had already informed Alva about Eudora by the time Colbert got the news.


    Alva, who had been lost in joy, barely had a few seconds to rejoice before she heard Colbert on the


    phone in the living room.


    The conversations hinted at something rted to Eudora.


    Alva felt a surge of unease. She decided to go out and ask what was happening.


    Colbert, who had been pacing in the living room, nced back at Alva before promptly hanging up his


    phone.


    "Why are you still awake at this hour?"

    With his phone put away, Colbert cast an indifferent gaze upon Alva.


    As the ward had apanion bed, he had arranged for Alva to sleep there, while he made do with the


    couch in the small living room for the night.


    "I..."


    Alva pursed her lips. "I can''t fall asleep."


    "I see."


    Upon hearing Alva''s words, Colbert responded absentmindedly, his gaze fixated on a certain point in


    the living room as he sank into deep thought.


    Alva, noting his unusual demeanor, furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Colbert, are you alright?"


    Her words snapped Colbert out of his reverie. He looked at her sideways. "There''s a temporary issue at


    thepany that needs handling. I''ll be backter."


    With that, he turned around and left.


    A problem at thepany?


    Alva didn''t believe Colbert''s words for a second. Instead, she was irritated by the fact that Colbert was


    clearly worried about Eudora but had lied to her.


    Colbert, who carried himself like a noble, had never, to Alva''s knowledge, stooped so low as to lie to


    anyone. Nor had he ever been worried about anyone other than Belinda. And now, he was ready to


    leave the hospitalized Belinda for that bitch Eudora?


    Seeing him about to leave, Alva quickly stepped forward, grabbing his wrist. "Colbert, don''t leave. I''m


    scared."


    Her voice was soft, sweet, and melodious.


    Alva furrowed her eyebrows, stepping forward to throw herself into his arms. Clinging tightly to him, she


    buried her head in his sturdy chest. "Can you stay with me for a while?"
