Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford ) novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81 

Steve, have you ever killed someone?I asked under the dim lights

He paused and looked at me intensely, neither answering nor denying 

Go to sleep,he said, pulling back the covers for me to slip into

I hesitated for a moment but eventually crawled in

It was raining outside, and the room felt a bit cold. I hated the coldWhenever it got cold, my muscles would tense up as if I was shivering

I understood that I was someone who lacked a sense of security and love

It was because of this lack of love that I had loved Michael for so many years in the past

My love for Michael, perhaps, was just to fill the emptiness in my heart

Honestly, everyone was selfish. Who could truly be selfless and live solely for one person in their heart and mind

Take Michael, for example. He appeared to love Yasmin so much, yet he did so many disgusting things to me

Recalling those past experiences, it was truly nauseating…. 

Steven went to take a shower, and the frosted glass door of the bathroom allowed in the yellowish light

During the time we spent together, I noticed that Steven liked to soak himself in the bathtub

Many times, I worried that he might drown himself. This time was no different

As I felt myself getting sleepy, he showed no sign of coming out

Steve?Strangely, I found myself worrying that he might die in there

Outside, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The emptiness of the room was eerie, and he was in the bathroomstill not coming out, and there was no sound at all

I got up and tentatively knocked on the door, but there was no response. I was starting to feel scared

Scared that he might be dead, but how could a murderer die so easily

Steve?I pushed open the bathroom door suddenly, holding my breath

The steam in the bathroom hadn’t dissipated yet, and he was curled up in the bathtub as if he had fallen asleep

Perhaps he never intended to sleep with me from the beginning

During the time trapped in the attic room, he also got used to soaking himself in the bathtub

Go sleep outside,I walked over and tugged at him

He didn’t move, just curled up his body slightly

I sensed something was wrong, so I reached out and touched his head

Sure enough, he had a fever

Steve?I went out to turn on the lights and boiled water, looking for cold medicine

StephieHe seemed delirious, kept calling out for Stephie

Liar” 

I was helpless. Why did he keep saying Stephie was a liar? What did Stephanie deceive him about

How did I lie to you?I asked softly

I wanted to know what exactly happened between Steven and Stephanie

Though I had some memories from the original host, butnot all

You said, Wait for me at the orphanageWhat a big fire. StephieI have to wait for Stephie, I can’t leave. I have to wait for Stephie…. 

I frowned, unable to hear clearly, so I leaned closer to try to hear better

But as soon as I leaned in, he opened his eyes
