Chapter 46\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright. I\u2019m calling today to warn you not to lay a finger on Bethany anymore. I don\u2019t know how you\u2019ve bullied her before,\u201d Silas\u2018 voice turned cold as he continued, \u201cBut if you try to mess with her again, I won\u2019t stand for it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The line went dead after that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gary and Diana looked at each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gary\u2019s face darkened like storm clouds. \u201cLeo was home last night. It must have been him! I\u2019m going to ask him to apologize to Bethany!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, he stomped upstairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana sat silently at the dining table, feeling stung.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Being lectured by someone younger about treating her daughter like a stepdaughter felt like nothing less than a slap in the\u00a0<\/p>\n
face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas sure was harsh with his words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana tried calling Bethany, but it went straight to voicemail\u2013her phone was switched off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Silas entered the ward, Bethany had already woken up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rubbing her aching temples, she asked, \u201cDid you bring me here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, if not me, then who? A ghost?\u201d Silas shot back. But when he saw her pale face, he instantly regretted it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you hungry? Want me to get you something to eat?\u201d he asked, trying to make up for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany was fine with his sarcasm. \u201cThanks. Could you order some chicken noodle soup for me? I think my phone is dead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay. Jane will bring it over soon. Do you want some water?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without waiting for her answer, Silas grabbed a cup and went to fill it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany leaned against the bed\u2019s headboard, slowly regaining some strength. She hadn\u2019t expected that Silas would be the one to save her. She felt like she owed him again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wondered what she should give him next time as a thank\u2013you.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soon, Silas returned with the cup and handed it over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany took a small sip of the water. It was warm and soothing. It seemed that this man was more thoughtful than she had imagined.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened last night? Do you know who locked you up?\u201d Silas suddenly asked as he watched her take small sips. Bethany put down the cup and wiped her mouth. \u201cYeah. It was probably my half\u2013brother. He was home last night.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas tapped his fingers rhythmically on his knee, taking mental notes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany smiled awkwardly as she said, \u201cI\u2019m sorry for making you miss your trip with your boyfriend.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas froze. He enunciated, \u201cBoyfriend?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah. That cruise ticket I gave you that day. You said you\u2019d go with your boyfriend after your business trip, right? If it weren\u2019t for me, you two probably would have boarded the cruise already.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany noticed the cold expression across from her darken, and a sudden tension gripped her chest. She wondered if she\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 45\u00a0<\/p>\n
had said the wrong thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Or was calling their significant other \u201cboyfriend\u201d incorrect in their circle? Should it have been \u201cgirlfriend\u201c?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany cautiously corrected herself, \u201cUm, should I be calling your other half your girlfriend?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2018 expression darkened even further. \u201cYou did nothing wrong. I was the one who got it wrong.\u201d He had thought that the couple\u2019s cruise ticket was an invitation for a honeymoon with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
