Chapter 372
The penthouse was quiet again. Ste walked over to Channing. Looking at his hands with blood
dripping, she gently held his arm, “Let’s go back.”
After a while, Channing said, “Aren’t you going to ask me anything?”
“If you want to tell me, you would have said it long ago, but if you’re not willing to tell me, it’s pointless
for me to ask.”
At this time, footsteps sound came from the hallway.
It was Vincent.
After he stopped, he took a few breaths, “No, what do you young people think nowadays, can’t you
choose to fight on the ground floor, why does it have to be so high?”
Channing pursed his lips tightly and did not say anything.
Ste looked at Vincent, “It’s alright, let’s go.”
Vincent looked at Channing and then back at her. He lifted his eyebrows for a moment, as if he wanted
to ask something, but in the end, he swallowed it back.
When they arrived downstairs, there was no sign of Jeffrey and Adolph around, not even the sound of a
fight could be heard.
One of his men walked up to Vincent and whispered. Thetter’s face changed slightly, but he just
raised his hand, “Keep finding.”
“Yes.”
Vincent said to Ste, “I’ll give you a lift?”
Ste nodded, then remembered something, “My car is still parked over there ...”
“The key.”
Ste handed over the car key. Vincent took it and then threw it to the men behind him. He asked Ste
for a detailed address.
Sitting in the car, Vincent looked through the rear-view mirror and asked, “Where do you want to go?”
Ste said, “The hospital.”
At this moment, Channing, who had been kept quiet for long, said, “Just simply find a ce and drop
me there.”
Ste ignored him and simply said, “Find the nearest hospital.”
“Okay.”
Twenty minutester, the car stopped in front of a private hospital.
Channing frowned and when he was just about to refuse, Ste said, “I don’t want to talk to you
anymore, go see the doctor first and get your wound treated, or else I’ll beat you.”
In the end, Channing entered the hospital in silence.
Ste followed him. After two steps of walking, she said to Vincent again, “Thank you for sending us
here, I will settle the rest of the things on my own.”
“I’ll go first then?”
“Alright, goodbye.”
Vincent lifted his hand towards her, turned around and left.
Ste helped Channing to register. After he went to the consultation room of the hospital, she sat on
the chair outside, pinched her brow and let out a breath.
After sitting for a while, she took out her mobile phone and dialled Adolph’s number.
However, it showed up as unreachable.
To avoid being traced, Adolph would often change his phone number. Most of the time, it was always
him who contacted her.
Judging at the situation, she could only wait.

Ste felt a little bit tired. She leaned back in the chair behind her. When she was about to rest, there
was steady footsteps sounding from the corridor.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw the wretched man’s cold features.
Ste was stunned for a moment, “Aren’t you in a meeting, why are you here?”
rence sat next to her, “The meeting is over.”
He looked at Ste’s blood-stained cuffs and frowned.
Seeing this, Ste hurriedly said, “It’s not mine, it’s Chan’s.”
rence pursed his thin lips for a moment, holding her cold hand, “What does he mad at again?”
“Charles seems to have met with him. I don’t know what he had said, just ...”
“It’s obvious that he had said something bad.”
Ste drooped her head, “Actually, I’m the one who shall be med for this matter. If I had given Chan
a clear exnation earlier, the incident would not have happened today.”
rence said indifferently, “You always like to take the me on yourself, there are so many people in
this world, you can’t take care of every single one.”
Ste could not help but frowned, “I don’t care about other people in this world, but he is my brother, so
I have to care about him.”
“If you have the spare time to care about your brother, why don’t you have the spare time to care about
your husband?”
Ste was speechless.
The bastard started talking nonsense after saying two decent sentences.
She pulled her hand out, “I don’t have a husband, who do I need to care about?”
“If you want to have one, go get a marriage license tomorrow and you’ll have the perfect husband.”
“Thanks, I don’t want to.”
Ste felt that the breath that had been lingering in her chest and blocking her chest had instantly
subsided after talking two or three sentences with the wretched man.
Just then, the door of the consultation room was opened and Channing came out from inside.
His wounds had already been bandaged, but he still looked helter-skelter.
Ste and rence got up one after the other. She said, “What did the doctor say?”
“I’m fine.”
“Then ...”
rence’s faint voice came, “If he hurts badly, he’ll lie down long ago. How can he still be able to
walk?”
Ste swallowed the words that came to her mouth as that was true.
After they came out of the hospital, Channing said, “I have to go.”
“Wait.” Ste called out to him, “Where are you nning to go?”
“Back to school.”
Ste said, “You can go back after you’ve recovered, it has no difference on whether you go back today
or tomorrow. If you go back like this, how are you going to exin to your ssmates and teachers?”
Channing knew that she still worried about him and was afraid that he would go back to find Jeffrey.
After a while, he said, “I can go and stay in a hotel.”
“Cannot.”
However, Ste could not think of where to let him stay for a moment, she was now staying with the
Steward family so she did not know how to ce him.
rence pulled open the car door and spoke indifferently, “Stay at my ce.”
Ste was surprised, “Stay at your ce?”
rence reached out his hand and flicked her forehead, “Why, I don’t have a house for him to stay?”
“No, I ...”
“Don’t worry, there are no restrictions on staying at my ce except one rule, that is, if he runs around,
I’ll break his legs.”
Ste suddenly felt that what he said made sense.
She immediately nodded, and then said to Channing, “You stay at his ce then. When I’m not around,
you have to listen to him.”
Channing frowned, “On what grounds?”
rence tapped his long fingers on the car window, “Because I’m your brother-inw. Get in.”
Seeing that Channing was not moving, he added, “If you want to walk, you can do so. I will send
someone to follow you and show you the way.”
As soon as rence’s words left his mouth, Nathan, who was waiting beside him, took a slight step
forward and revealed an awkward but polite smile, as if to say that he was the passionate chaperone
who would apany him to walk.
Channing pursed his lips, took a breath, and finallypromised. He pulled open the car door and
bent his body to get into the car.
rence looked at Ste, raised his eyebrows and inclined his head, “You can get in too.”
Ste pursed her lips and smiled as she passed by him.
Nathan also got back to the seat where he belonged and let out a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that he
did not have to apany him to walk.
Along the way, Nathan asked, “Mr. Conrad, where are we going now?”
rence looked at Ste, seemingly seeking her opinion. Ste said, “My car is with Vincent, just drop
me off there.”
rence said indifferently, “Ask Vincent where is he now.”
