You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Stop Them

The night screen had hung out. The house was tranquil. Sometimes security guards would come to check.

Edie just finished taking a shower for Cecil. After getting him into sleep, she started preparing to take a shower. But when she walked into the bathroom, she heard a strange sound out of the window. It sounded really scary, like someone passing through.

Edie was shocked. She turned around. Unexpectedly, the window was opened.

Her face was stinging from the icy wind from the outsides. She couldn’t help herself stepping backward.

Was it.... the wind?

She frowned slightly and walked to the windows. She looked out of the window. It was on the fifth floor. There was no protective fence here. She could see the night sightseeing directly.

Downstairs was the lawn. Many people were standing there as if something big happened there.

Edie closed the window. But when she turned around, a gun was pointed at her head. Then her mouth was covered tightly. She couldn’t make any sound.

In front of her was a man standing in black. He wore a black coat, with a hat and mask. The hat hid his face completely. The man was so tall, 1.9 meters in height. Such a tall man stood in front of Edie, like a heavy black cloud.

Edie blinked her big eyes. She was frightened. Her eyes swept through this man’s body quickly. She saw the blood oozing out from his shoulder. The black coat already got wet.

He was injured. Did those men come to catch him?

Before she understood what happened here, she heard a group of people stepping towards her room. Yes, their destination was clear. It was her room.

At this moment, the man started talking, "Stop them."

It was not begging. On the contrary, he seemed like ordering her. He sounded so calm and strong. Though he was injured, he was still confident. He asked Edie as if she was his maid.

Besides, his voice sounded really familiar. He sounded like Arther’s elder brother. It sounded like Mr. Norman.

Edie fixed her eyes on his eyes, "Mr. Norman?"

"Yes," the man was shocked as a whole. He didn’t expect that Edie could recognize him so quickly.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Kenley asked in a serious voice, "Miss Lara, please open the door."

Edie frowned. She asked Norman, "Why do they want to catch you?"

"I come to visit that foodie for Arther," Norman said in an indifferent voice.

Even at this significant moment, this man remained calm. Edie really admired such a spirit.

"Hide yourself in a corner. I can handle them." Edie said in a heavy voice. She felt something went wrong. So she took the dagger on his waist out.

The man immediately buckled his wrist. If he applied a little more force, he would break Edie’s arm immediately.

He didn’t ask her why she helped him. He just stared at her with his alarming eyes like an eagle’s eyes. freeweɓnøvel.com

"You are injured. My house is filled with the smell of your blood. If I didn’t get injured, they wouldn’t believe me."

Edie said in a cold voice and got her hand back. Then she stuffed her hand on the palm.

Norman’s dagger was so sharp. The blood oozed out from her palm. It hurt so much.

Ah...

She didn’t know that hurting herself was so painful until she hurt herself.

Before rushing to the bathtub, making her blood drop on it. Then she took a tower to cover her hand.

It took her more than several minutes to get everything done. When she returned back to open the door, the door was already opened.

Kenley walked into the house. He fixed his gloomy and cold eyes on Edie and asked in a cold voice, "Miss Lara, what took you such a long time?"

Edie pointed at her body. She still wore a shower cap on the head and wrapped a bathrobe. Her face and neck were wet. Apparently, she just finished taking a shower. And she hasn’t dried her body.

"Sorry, I am taking a shower just now. I didn’t hear the doorbell. When I heard it, you already opened the door, what’s up, Mr. Kenley. Why so rush? Why do you bring so many people? What happened?"

Kenley looked around and kept saying in a cold voice, "Someone broke in our castle. I am worried about Miss Lara, so I come here to check your security. Are you taking shower...just now?"

He fixed his eyes on the door of the bathroom.

Edie was so calm, "Yes."

She was so nervous that she held fist so tightly that the nail already inserted into her wound. It got more painful.

She wanted to use the pain to remind herself that she shouldn’t regret it after making the decision. She’s already decided to help Norman, and she couldn’t make any mistake.

Kenley walked into the bathroom immediately. But he didn’t find anything strange there.

It was moisturized. Obviously, someone was taking a shower here. The water in the bathtub was bloody red. On the edge of the bathtub was some fruit.

In water vapor, Kenley could feel the smell of wine, mixed with blood.

He had an acute sense of smell. He captured this immediately, and then he rushed to the bathtub.

Edie frowned slightly, "Mr. Kenley, what do you want?"

Kenley kept going as if he didn’t hear Edie. He held the dagger tightly in his hands and took it out immediately. Then he inserted the dagger into the water.

As the dagger inserted deep in the water to the bottom of the bathtub, it made a loud noise.

There was nothing else in there.

"What’s this?" he pointed at the bathtub.

"Wine shower. Red wine. I always do this at home. Luckily, you have wine here. So I try. Mr. Kenley, it is just a man. Don’t be so nervous. You are freaking me out. If you really want to check, then go ahead. But be silent. My little brother has already fallen into sleep."

She said casually and walked to the bathtub to take the fruit away.

But Kenley stopped her "Why could I smell the blood? Has anybody else come here?"

"Blood? Oh, you mean this?" Edie showed him the 3-cm wound on her palm. It was bleeding.

"I accidentally cut my hand when I cut fruit. But I didn’t smell the blood. Mr. Kenley had such an acute sense of smell. So impressive. I need to go now. I need to take some medicine and go to sleep. I’ve conceived a baby. I couldn’t stay up. Mr. Kenley, please be careful and silent when you check the house, okay?"

Edie tried the best to be calm. But actually, she’s been so nervous that she could feel her heart almost popping out. If they still stayed here, they would find that man.
