Chapter 189


    Roman said, “Thank you; you’re the best!”


    A twitch appeared at the corner of Astrid’s mouth; this little bugger knew how to tter.


    Everyone had a great time chowing down.


    Nathan’s cooking skills were top–notch; Roman was eating like there was no tomorrow, “Your food is so


    good!”


    Nathan replied with a grin, “If you like, you can stick around; I can cook for you tomorrow too.” Just as


    he finished speaking, a phone on the table rang.


    He nced at it; it was his agent, so he picked up, “What’s up? Didn’t I say I’d be hanging out with my


    sister these days?”


    “What?”


    “Bat wants to perform with me?” Nathan’s excitement had him springing up from his seat. He

    grabbed a napkin to wipe his mouth and continued, “Cool, got it. I’ll book a flight ASAP!”


    Hanging up, Nathan picked up his guitar and said, “Star, I’ve got some urgent business. Here, take this;


    stay safe!”


    “See you around, kiddo!” Nathan handed Astrid a massive taser from his bag, ruffled Roman’s hair, and


    dashed off.


    Watching Nathan leave, Elio leisurely sipped his soup.


    Perfect, finally, no one to disturb their peaceful family time.


    After Dinner, Astrid tidied up the house and was about to rest when she received a message from Jon:


    “Star, Colton’s in a bad way; he’s been causing a stir all night. You muste over ASAP, or he will


    tear my ce apart!”


    Astrid frowned; he’d been on medication for so long, and the toxins in his body should have been


    almost eliminated; what could be going wrong?


    She pondered momentarily, then stood up and said to Elio, who was working, “I need to step out.”


    Elio stood up, “I’ll drive you.”


    “No need; Roman will need to sleep soon; you stay with him.” With that, Astrid grabbed her car keys


    and headed out.


    The traffic was a bit jammed.


    It was alreadyte when she reached Jon’s apartmentplex.


    She had just stepped out of the elevator when she heard noises from Jon’s apartment.


    “For crying out loud, Colton, what the hell is wrong with you! I’ve had just about enough!”


    “Put that down; that’s my keyboard!”


    “Do you think I won’t smack you?”


    Π


    Realizing the situation was severe, Astrid quickly rang the doorbell.


    A few secondster, the door opened. Jon, seeing her, looked like he’d seen his savior, “Star, you’re


    finally here!”


    “Uhm, Colton, what are you doing?” Astrid shouted into the apartment.


    Upon hearing her voice, Colton just stared at her nkly.


    Jon was hopping around on hot coals, “Star, Star, my keyboard, my keyboard!”


    Astrid knew how vital that keyboard was to Jon, so she immediately said, “Can you put the keyboard


    down, please?”


    “Beauty took you long enough!” Colton obediently put down the keyboard and, with a wronged look on


    his face, walked towards Astrid, pointing at Jon, and startedining, “You told him to take good


    care of me, but he’s been torturing me, making me eat all kinds of disgusting things, and even made


    me drink stinky soup!”


    Stinky soup?


    Astrid gave Jon a puzzled look. Jon, clutching his keyboard, guiltily said, “Well, I was in a rush this


    morning and didn’t have time to make fresh medicine, so I gave him the leftovers from yesterday. After


    he took the medicine, who knew it had gone bad? He drank it and then turned into this…”
