Chapter 848 Someone was Behind
“Much better. The doctor said I'll be completely cured in another month.”
Instead of looking relieved, Chivery frowned when she said it would take another month.
“It must be a serious injury, right?”
Queeny nodded.
She did not explain further what caused the injury, and since they were meeting for the first time,
Chivery didn't ask too much.
So she wouldn't think he was rude.
So he just said, “Be careful, Miss Horton. I hope you get well soon.”
Queeny smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Neither of them spoke again until they reached the bathroom, where Chivery pointed ahead and said,
“It's over there. You can get there yourself.”
Queeny nodded and thanked him again before entering.
She went to the bathroom, checked her appearance in the mirror, and then turned to leave.
But then, as she put her hand on the bathroom door handle, her body froze.
An instinct that had been hovering between life and death told her that there was someone in the
bathroom.
Because this is the VIP area, the washroom is also independent, and there is only one toilet and vanity
in each washroom.
When she came in, it was empty, and there couldn't have been anyone there, so...
Queeny tightened her fingers on the door handle, took a deep breath and opened the door.
Outside, not far away, Chivery was still waiting.
Queeny was surprised. She thought he'd bring her here and then leave.
She walked over and said with a smile, “I'm sorry to keep you waiting here.”
Chivery put his cigarette out in the trash can and said, “It’s okay. I don't have anything else to do
anyway.”
He paused and said, “Are you done? Let's go there.”
Queeny nodded.
So they went out together.
However, after only two steps, Queeny suddenly stopped, turned quickly and said, “Oh, crap. I lost my
bracelet. I think I dropped it in the bathroom. I'm going to go back to check the bathroom.”
Chivery turned around in surprise and asked, “What kind of bracelet is it? Do you want me to help you
find it?”
Queeny said no.
She looked up and saw a woman dressed as a janitor coming out of the bathroom.
She frowned slightly.
Chivery, who had reached her by this time, stopped walking when he saw her standing there and
stared at her. He looked confused.
“What’s wrong?”
Queeny looked up and pulled a dainty leaf bracelet from her sleeve.
“There is no need to look for it. It was caught on the lace of my skirt sleeve.”
Chivery was relieved and smiled, “That's good. Let's go.”
Queeny nodded.
They then walked out together.
Queeny watched the movement behind her until she was sure no one was following her, then frowned.
Did she think too much just now?
Was the janitor really just there to clean up?
Queeny always had a strange feeling and didn't know why. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
But then she thought perhaps it was because she was too nervous and sensitive.
When Queeny arrived, she learned that Felix had been looking for her.
She went over to Felix. Seeing her standing next to Chivery, Felix frowned and hurried over. “Why did
you come out without telling me?” he asked.
There was a hint of familiarity in his voice.
Chivery looked at them in surprise.
“You know each other?”
As one of Irvin's best friends, he didn't know Felix well, but they did meet before.
So they knew each other.
What he didn't know was that Queeny had come with Felix.
Felix looked up at Chivery, and before he could speak, Queeny spoke first.
“Thank you for taking care of me and taking me to the bathroom,” she said with a smile. “I'm fine now.
You can go about your business now.”
Chivery looked at her deeply, then at Felix, and without asking too many questions, turned away.
After he had left, Felix said to Queeny, “Does it hurt?”
Queeny nodded and said, “A little bit.”
No sooner had she said this than she felt herself light and had been picked up by him.
Queeny let out a gasp, her face turning pale, and wrapped her arms around his neck, screaming:
“What are you doing?”
Felix didn't budge. “You just said your feet hurt.”
“I…”
I didn't ask you to pick me up!
She could not say the rest, for Felix had carried her off to the lounge.
At this moment, In the distance, Chivery, who had not gone far, looked back at this scene and his brow
was deeply wrinkled.
In the lounge, Felix laid Queeny on the couch, then crouched down in front of her, grabbed her ankle,
and pulled her shoes off.
Queeny wanted to say something, “Don’t…”
Before she could say anything more, he saw that her feet were swelling slightly.
He frowned.
Although the doctor said Queeny was now able to walk outside, he also said she should not stand in
heels for too long.
Now it was clear that she had been standing too long.
He had heard about Queeny drinking and playing games with them, and when he looked at the foot, a
surge of anger surged into his heart.
He looked up at her and asked, “What did I tell you before I left? I told you to stay here and wait for me.
Why don't you listen to me and go to play games with them?”
Queeny felt a little guilty. Her eyes flickered and she dared not to look at him in the eye.
But she persisted, “What’s it to you?”
But as she spoke, she felt a dark shadow come over her eyes, and the next moment she was kissed on
the lips.
Queeny’s eyes widened in surprise.
It was a long, deep kiss.
He had secretly imagined it many, many times. On so many nights he could recall its sweet taste.
But when he did see it again, he could only bear to watch it from a distance.
What a torture that was!
Only now, when he kissed it again, did he realize that some memories he thought he had forgotten and
let go had been unconsciously buried deep in his heart.
Just a little touch was all it needed to bring that wonderful memory back to life.
Queeny was resistant at first.
It had come so strangely that she did not even know how or why it had happened.
But it was really happening, and there was a hint of renewed aggression.
