I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 724

I shot upright, my gaze sharp.

"What did you just say?"

Steven had paid a huge price for me to start over?

I'd actually wondered about it before—how I was able to be reborn—but I'd never found an answer. Could it really be like Verna said? Was it all because of Steven?

Just as Verna was about to speak, Steven cut her off sharply. "Shut up!"

As he spoke, a red line appeared on Verna's neck, and blood trickled down the blade, dripping onto the cold floor. Verna pressed her lips together, glaring at me with hatred, but she didn't dare say another word.

But my curiosity was fully piqued. No matter what, I had to know. "Steven, move! I want to hear what she has to say!"

With that, I scrambled out of bed, not even bothering to put on my slippers.

Seeing this, Steven's brow tightened. Before I could reach Verna, he suddenly tossed the knife aside and scooped me into his arms with a practiced motion.

"Let me go!"

He'd promised not to interfere, and now he was stopping me by force. A leopard never changes its spots; he was good for one day before going back on his word.

In my desperation, I slapped him across the face. "Are you deaf? I said, let me go!"

Thomas, who had never seen anything like this, gasped, a look of "you're done for" on his face.

Yet Steven remained surprisingly calm. He gently set me down on the edge of the bed, then knelt.

"Don't get upset. I'll have her tell you what you want to know. But first, you need to take care of yourself. Put on your slippers!"

He then took my foot in his hands and gently slipped the slipper on.
