Chapter 605


    When Ste woke up, the room was dark with heavy curtains.


    She just thought of getting up. One hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her back.


    In the next second, she fell into the warm chest of the man.


    rence''s low-pitched voice sounded, “Why don’t you keep on sleeping?”


    “I am getting a headache because of sleeping.”


    “The doctor said that you are overly tired. Just sleep for a while. What do you want to eat? I will ask


    Nathan to bring it over.”


    Ste said, “I have no appetite.”


    rence said, “You have to eat whether you have an appetite or not. You don’t want to pass out again,


    right?”


    Ste was silent and did not say anything.


    After a short while, she felt the people behind her move slightly. The wallmp was turned on, and the


    faint orange light spread out without a trace.


    When rence got up, Ste also sat up. And she asked, “What time is it?”


    rence lowered his head and nced at his watch. “1:30 in the afternoon.”


    Ste rubbed her head, “I have slept for so long?”


    “Nah, not long enough. Just get more rest, and I will wake you up for the meal.”


    After the conversation, rence walked out of the room.


    Ste really couldn''t fell asleep. She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, only to find that she was wearing


    a men''s shirt.


    Ste got speechless.


    In the living room, rence is calling Nathan.


    Ste passed by him, walked to the table and poured a ss of water.


    rence turned around, staring at her, with his eyebrows raising unconsciously.


    When she brought her back from the hospital, Ste smelled of disinfectant, so he put his clothes on for


    her directly.


    On the phone, Nathan said, “Ms. James, I have prepared Madam''s clothes, and I should deliver them


    now.”


    “No need.”


    Nathan didn’t understand.


    rence slowly said, “Send the meal over, I''m hungry.”


    “I have prepared the clothes, so I can send them with the meal...”


    Halfway through the conversation, Nathan keenly noticed the key factors of the conversation, and


    immediately changed his word, “Okay, I''ll go and prepare the lunch.”


    rence put away the phone with satisfaction, he walked to Ste, watched her finish her drinking,


    stretched out his finger to gently wipe the water droplets on her lips, and his fingers stayed on the


    corners of her lips for a few seconds.


    Ste looked up at him as if looking at a pervert, “What are you doing?”


    rence lifted his eyebrow, took the empty ss from her hand, and poured water into it, “Nothing. Do


    you want to drink more?”


    “I''m fine.”


    Upon hearing this, rence put down the ss kettle and drank the rest of the water.


    Ste didn''t bother to pay attention to him and went to find her clothes.


    rence followed her, “Your clothes haven''t been dried after the washing. I have asked Nathan Lance


    to get it done. They’ll be delivered it in a while.”


    Ste turned her head, found her mobile phone on the sofa, charged it and turned it on. After thinking


    about it, she stared at rence, “I have something to tell you.”


    rence sat next to her, “Huh?”


    Ste didn''t know how to speak out what’s in her mind.


    These things are soplicated that she didn’t even understand them now.


    After a while, Ste said, “Our child...I left him with Darnell. They may have the cure for his illness.


    Darnell said that he had nothing to do with what happened in City N before. Someone framed him up.


    Eh. I... I don''t know if I should trust him, but the little guy did get better with their treatment.”


    As she said, she lowered her head and her voice was dull, “I have no other choice but to...”


    rence held her in his arms, gently rubbed her head, and whispered, “I know, this is not your


    problem. You don''t have to feel guilty.”


    “When did you know?”


    “Last night.”


    Aftering out of Darnell'' private club, he received a call from Donald.


    He also sent his men to investigate. There were some simr cases in Riverside two years ago. That’s


    Darnell’s team who took over the case.


    When sending Ste to the hospital, he received the report and information about finding the nutrition


    needle in Joanna''s room, which was supposed to be destroyed two years ago.


    All of this shows that someone deliberately led him to Riverside, and provoked a conflict between him


    and Darnell.


    rence said, “Apart from this, did he say anything else?”


    Ste thought for a while, “He said that all these things are rted to that incident twenty years ago,


    but you have to investigate that by yourself.”


    “Did he bully you?”


    “No... But can you stop touching me while speaking?”


    rence got choked.


    He slowly retracted the hand caressing herp.


    Ste got out of his arms and put a pillow on herp.


    At this time, the doorbell rang, and it was Nathan.


    rence walked to the door, opened the door with only a small slit, took the food in, and said, “Where


    are the clothes?”


    “Clothes?” Nathan was at a loss, but when his eyes met rence''s emotionless gaze, he quickly


    realized, “Ah...clothes. There have been a lot of kinds of stuff. I haven''t had time to prepare the


    clothing, I will go and get them ready now.”


    rence hummed, “Hurry up.”


    Closing the door, rence carried the food container and ced it in front of Ste, “The clothes will


    still take a while, let''s eat first.”

    Ste originally had no appetite. After the food container was opened and the smell of food came out,


    she felt her stomach growl twice.


    She took the chopsticks from rence and bent over to get the food container.


    In the opposite, rence paused slightly, for he caught a glimpse of the amazing view under the shirt


    cor.


    Seeing he paused there, Ste looked up in confusion. After realizing where he was looking, she


    quickly sat up, picked up the pillow and smashed it over.


    rence easily caught the pillow, “Let’s be reasonable, I didn''t mean to see them. How could you


    me me for that?”


    Ste said faintly, “Don’t be such an animal.”


    rence''s lips twitched slightly and put the pillow aside, “Let’s eat.”


    After dinner, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.


    Ste looked at rence, “What are your ns now.”


    rence confronted her gaze, “Five pounds.”


    Ste was at a loss


    rence said, “You have lost a lot of weight during this period. Let me help you put on five pounds


    first.”


    Ste got speechless.


    What''s wrong with this guy?


    rence continued, “Seven or eight pounds will help too. Come on. Just eat more.”


    Ste couldn''t bear it, “Shut up!”


    A smile appeared on rence’s face, “A few more dayster, there’ll be the James family''s semi-


    annual family gathering. I will take you there then.”


    Upon hearing this, Ste frowned, “But family gatherings, can I go in?”


    “How can you know if you don''t try it?” rence said, “Since we need to check what happened 20


    years ago, how can we find out the truth if we don''t go inside the James family?”


    Ste said, “Then don’t you go back to City N?”


    “You are all here, why should I go back?”


    What''s more, since those people have tried so hard to bring him here, he wanted to see what will


    happen.
