Chapter 752: Chapter 752: Let Me Hug You For A Moment
"Edie, are you in there?"
Hearing Stuart’s voice, Ghost frowned immediately. He looked around. Nothing could hide him. If the door was opened at the moment, Stuart would definitely see him.
"Shit. Am I bound to die here?" Ghost started complaining the fate.
"I am here. Stuart would not dare to do anything to you," Edie said immediately.
"But when you send me at the door and leave, Stuart might kill my next moment. It is not easy to survive. I don’t want to be killed. Shit. What should I do now??"
Edie wanted to say more words to comfort Ghost. She wanted to tell Stuart was not that kind of guy. But as she was about to say those words out, she found she was also not sure of it. So she had no choice but to hold all her words back.
Then she said in a low voice.
"I would help you. Don’t panic. I would not hurt my friend."
Hearing these words, Ghost immediately calmed himself down. Edie’s words were like a cold wind in winter.
Ghost looked towards Edie. He saw her face was pale. He got worried about her. He said awkwardly,
"I didn’t mean that Stuart is a bad egg. I mean, he is an important man. So he had to make a sacrifice. I am afraid I am so unlucky. I am the one that he chose to sacrifice."
"I know. I know what kind of man he is. He always tells me he is a bad guy. But I never see that side of him. I know he would hurt others for his own benefit. But I love him. I would force myself to accept this. I am sorry. I am so sorry to trap you in such danger. I should apologize to you..."
"I didn’t mean that, either. Don’t say that. It looks like I am returning your kindness with ingratitude..."
"Don’t overthink about it, "Edie couldn’t help herself raising the corner of her mouth and raised a slight smile.
She patted his shoulder heavily and said, "You are my friend. I am obliged to protect you. I still want to learn your skills when I am out of this place. I don’t want you to die now. If you die, I will lose a lot."
Hearing these words, Ghost knew Edie was trying to ease the atmosphere. He said, "Both you and I won’t die now. Let’s handle Julia first. Then I would teach you."
"Great. Deal."
Edie said words by word. Her voice faded out in the wind.
At the moment, outside the door, Stuart frowned. He fixed his eyes on the iron door of the roof. He was hesitating whether he should go back to take the key here.
Suddenly, the door was opened. The light poured onto the ground.
"Edie, why are you here?"
He looked towards her and then checked things behind her. The door was half-opened. He couldn’t see anything else.
He started suspecting. But he didn’t show anything in his eyes. He was really good at covering.
"The sky was dark this morning. I thought it might be raining outside. So I came here to see. I am starving now. Let’s go back."
Edie smiled slightly. When she walked to Stuart, she closed the door, leaving Stuart no chance to check. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Stuart looked away naturally as if he found nothing strange. He held Edie’s waist with his hands tightly and said in a warm voice, "If you want to come here again, tell me. I would come here with you. Besides, you haven’t recovered, you should wear more clothes before coming here. Otherwise, you might get sicker. I would be more worried about you. Don’t do this again, okay?"
"Okay, I promise. You look more and more like a housekeeper. What do you make for breakfast?"
"Cheese pasta and fruit salad," he said in an indifferent voice and left with Edie. At the same time, he took a glimpse at the door of the roof and looked away immediately, as if nothing ever happened.
They returned back to their bedroom. The breakfast was ready.
Edie sat down. Stuart said he needed to pour a glass of hot milk in the kitchen. Then he left.
Edie followed him.
Stuart entered the kitchen. Then he took his mobile phone out. He wanted to make a call.
He had a mobile phone here. Why did Julia allow him to have a call? With a mobile phone, Stuart could call the police immediately to ask for help at any time. Why did Stuart have a mobile phone?
At the moment, Edie had no enough time to think about this. She had to find a way to protect Ghost.
As expected, Stuart said on the phone, "Take strict precautions. Someone might..."
Edie showed up in time, "Stuart, I want to drink some water."
Hearing Edie’s voice, Stuart immediately took the mobile phone into his pocket.
Edie pretended that she saw nothing. She looked towards Stuart confusingly.
"I would pour a glass of water for you."
At the moment, Edie had a feeling.
Both knew something. But no one was honest. Both were lying to the other one.
This feeling was so bad. Edie didn’t like that.
Edie knew Stuart hid something from her for her good. Therefore, she decided to pretend that she knew nothing. Because she loved him deeply, she chose to be deaf and blind in front of him. She chose to deceive herself.
As long as...
Stuart would not leave her. No matter he was bad or good, no matter what kind of guy he was, Edie didn’t care.
She loved him deeply. She devoted herself to him. She didn’t care about anything as long as he stayed with her.
They went back to their bedroom. To ease the atmosphere, Stuart tried to tell several jokes to make her happy, though those jokes were all boring.
Edie still laughed out.
Stuart wanted her to laugh. He wanted her to be happy. That was enough for her.
She could deceive herself. It was not a bad choice for her now.
As time went by, it was dark outside. Edie looked out of the window, staring at the night landscape and more and more guards standing at the door.
The cold wind blew into the room. But Edie still stood there, as if she could not feel the coldness at all.
Compared with the coldness of the wind, she felt much colder at the bottom of her heart.
She spent the whole day thinking. She suddenly realized maybe Stuart could only spend five days with her.
What would happen after five days? Edie had no idea.
Five days...
Quite a short time.
At the moment, she heard the sound of the step.
Unique tone. It was Stuart.
"What did you open the window for?"
Stuart immediately walked to her. He wanted to close the window. But unexpectedly, Edie suddenly hugged him tightly and said in a slight voice, "Don’t move. Let me hug you for a moment. I am afraid I might lose you forever after several days."
"Why do you know this?" hearing Edie’s words, Stuart trembled slightly. He asked in a low and depressed voice.
"I know nothing. I don’t know your plan. But I know you want to protect me, right? Your plan is so dangerous. It might kill either of us, right?"
Edie gathered all her courage and said these words out. Tears poured down from her eyes, wetting Stuart’s back.
