Chapter 200
When I came out to call Steven in for a bath, I thought I caught him messing with my phone.
“Stephie, my hands hurt.”
Just as I was about to grab my phone, he mentioned that his hand was hurting,
Indeed, the white bandage was now soaked in blood.
I rushed to find the first aid kit and changed his bandage. Then, I convinced him to take a bath and blow–dried his hair after.
Steven was obedient and quietly let me help him.
Then, he grinned and wrapped me in his embrace. “Stephie, time for bed,” he said.
However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that he had some kind of scheme going on.
But I was also completely worn out. And as I lay in Steven’s arms, drowsiness washed
over me.
Steven’s room always carried a faint scent of sandalwood, and it was a scent that was very comforting and conducive for sleeping peacefully,
Soon, I fell asleep.
