Chapter 6
Owen said and did it. His coolding skills were superb, even for the simplest soup, he could make it in various ways.
Thanks to him, during this period, I deeply felt that my body had recovered a lot.
And just as I was about to have my third bowl of mushroom soup for lunch today, Owen stopped me.
He laughed with his eyes squinted: “While I was juicing, did the little glutton steal and eat again?”
Seeing the plan fail, I dejectedly placed the bowl in the sink, and he set down the half–cut fruits and walked over, saying, “I’ll wash the bowl, you go watch TV on the sofa.”
I nodded unenthusiastically, and he suddenly grabbed ine and pulled me back, trapping me between the edge of the pool and his body.
“You ignored me just because I didn’t let you have soup?”
I didn’t speak and pouted, looking elsewhere.
He laughed and said, “The doctor said that starting tomorrow, you can have regular meals. I will take you to have dessert.”
My eyes brightened: “Really?”
“Really.”
Owen’s expression was indulgent as he let go of me, patted my back, and ushered me to the sofa. He then busied himself in the kitchen.
1 sat on
the sofa and began to fiddle with the bank card ny parents had left me. Besides the money that resided inside, it was also a dream.
1 suddenly felt that I was a blessed child, their love never left me, even before the accident, they were still planning my future life.
Owen, just like they gave me a gift.
1 put away the bank card since it was part of my dowry, and I had to keep it safe,
The news was playing on the TV, and after a segment of music, suddenly I saw a glaring headline.
After the daughter of the Lennox Group was kidnapped, she walked barefoot back to the city, appearing insane and no longer the same as before.
I’slammed” the TV off, my breathing becoming rapid. I silently told myself that it was all over, I would never see those people again, I would never see Kander again
After a while, my heart finally returned to its normal heartbeat rate, when the doorbell rang.
I guess Owen must have ordered another delivery, after all, ever since I moved in, the entire loft was designed and arranged by him.
Without much thought, I got up and went to open the door, but outside the door, I saw the person I didn’t want to see.
Rebecca carried a few bags of fruits and as soon as she saw me, she smiled brightly and said, “Ms. Stewart! I heard you were hospitalized recently? I came There specifically to visit you.”
Icoldly questioned, “How did you know?”
Rebecca thought for a moment and put on an innocent look, “Of course, It was Mr. Lennox who told me.”
Dong dong dong.
The heartbeat pounded like a drum
How did Xander find out? Did he monitor me? If Rebecca knows my home address, does that mean he knows it too? Is he coming to find me?
“Get lost.” I managed to squeeze out, trying to close the door.
The result was resisted by Rebecca, and after being scolded, she finally stopped pretending and her eyes turned malicious. “Catherine, Mr. Lennox has already found out your home address. You better move out quickly and stop shamelessly clinging to him.”
it did not
Rebecca hummed and said, “No? Those Iddnappers must have hurt you badly, right? I heard they had sticks, whips, and even the curling iron you had in your bag that day. It must have been very painful when they burned your skin. They gave you spoiled food that not even dogs would eat, but you still ate
My pupils contracted sharply, and I could barely stand. The thing I least wanted to remember was torn open by Rebecca
Chapter d
“How how did you know?”
Rebecca looked smug and said, “It was my suggestion to delay Mr. Lermox’s payment, to make you suffer a bit. After all, you are an arrogant and spoiled young lady, who doesn’t know her place and keeps clinging to him! So, Thinted to those kidnappers that the more you were beaten, the faster the money would come in.”
I almost collapsed, why? Why did she do this? Why did Xander do this?
In my mind, the last strand of sanity snapped, and I, like a madman, grabbed Rebecca. I went to bite her, wanting to fall down the stairs with her, to perish together.
Owen heard a noise inside the house and ran to the door, shouting, “Catherine!”

ears, and I had only one thought, which was to kill Rebecca.
g me in his arms. I couldn’t stop crying as he mercilessly pushed away Rebecca, who was about to pounce on us
I couldn’t hear any sound in
Owen forcefully separated us, holding
again.
Rebecca bumped into the stair railing and made a loud “bang” sound, She was in so much pain that she couldn’t stand up
What
were you doing?
A stem voice interrupted us, Xander, still dressed in a suit and tie, calmly entered the scene, contrasting sharply with every moment of my destitution. I was so pathetic.
After Xander went upstairs, he saw me lying in Owen’s arms, his face grew even darker, and he turned around to help Rebecca u
- up.
“Mr. Lennox, I was originally kind enough to visit Ms. Stewart, but little did I know that she would not appreciate it and even came up to hit me. It’s possible that… I discovered that she was cohabiting with Mr. Campbell”
“Living together?” Xander’s anger surged.
Owen didn’t speak, he just hugged me and kept patting my shoulder. After seeing that I had calmed down a bit, he tried to take me back to the room, but was stopped by Xander.
“Catherine, stop messing around and come home with me!
Xander always felt like I was jolding when I spoke with a commanding tone. He wanted to pull me out of Owen’s arms, but Owen blocked him and prevented it
“Mr. Lennox, this was Cathy’s home.”
“Cathy? That sounds quite affectionate. Is that the reason you resigned?”
Did Owen quin? I looked up, but could only see his sharply defined jawline.
While both parties were at a standstill, Rebecca suddenly cried out in pain, “Mr. Lennox, I am in so much pain.”
Xander looked at me, then Jpoloed at Rebecca, and finally turned around to pick up Rebeca. As he left, he said, “Catherine, I’ll give you one more chance. If you don’t come home this time, then you never have to come back.”
I was trembling with fear, Owen whispered softly in my ear, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
