The Love Book

Her eyes moved slightly, silently swallowed a mouthful of water, clenched her teeth, was planning to make a deep confession, who knew that the man suddenly reached out and snapped off the light, faintly spitting out two words, “Sleep!”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes stared at the light in the darkness, not knowing whether it was because what she wanted to say did not come out, or because of the man’s indifferent attitude, her heart was lost, and after holding it for ten seconds or so, she suddenly moved over and gave the man a peck on the cheek, whispering, “I really like it.”

“…”

There was no response from the man, except that after half a minute, the man’s cold, repressed voice came to life in the darkened room, “Phoebe Barnes, you start another fire, and I’ll make you experience being forced all over again.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“…”

Phoebe Barnes stiffened and was quiet for a moment.

…

Although last night was a shock, but because of the presence of Kemp Ross, Phoebe Barnes was quickly calmed down, slept for a few hours and woke up very early on their own.

The swelling on his face had subsided, and only the cut on his lip and the pinch marks on his neck remained.

Kemp Ross was no longer there, and she didn’t have time to ask about what happened later in the hotel last night. She got dressed and went downstairs, intending to find a phone to call Kelsey Long first.

“Chen Ma, can I borrow your phone for a moment?”

“A cell phone?” Chen Ma froze and suddenly remembered something and said, “Someone sent something over last night, saying it was yours, madam, and it seems there was a cell phone in it.”

Phoebe Barnes was also stunned and scratched her hair, “I got my stuff back?”

She thought Wind Rong would give it directly to Kelsey Long and them, or throw it to the hotel management, but did not expect to send it back to her, why?

On second thought she figured out what the reason was and raised her eyes to Chen’s mother, “Where are the things?”

“Oh, I’ll bring it to you.”

Grabbing her phone and walking to a bench in the garden to sit down, she called Kelsey Long over.

An extremely urgent voice came out, “Phoebe, how are you doing? Where are you now? Did those people do anything to you last night?”

Phoebe Barnes wrinkled her brow and said in a faint voice, ” Sister Long, I’m fine.”

Immediately afterwards she asked, “What happened to you last night? Why didn’t you answer my calls?”

“The doctor checked, the water I drank before I went to bed last night was drugged and I passed out, I really didn’t expect this to happen, Phoebe, that bastard really didn’t do anything to you?”

Drugging?

It seems Murray Till really checked out her schedule last night.

Phoebe Barnes, her mind glued, pulled her lips together and calmly said, “He didn’t do anything to me, I’m fine, Megan, how is it going?”

Kelsey Long said in a deep voice: “She is also fine, may live a little far from you, but she is in the habit of turning off her phone before going to bed, open the phone before seeing your call.”

“Do you know who those people were that attacked me last night?”

Kelsey Long said, “When I woke up, the people at the hotel said that all were taken away by the police, as if they were a gang of burglars.”

“Phoebe, what the hell happened last night? If it was just a gang of thieves, how come I passed out?”

She is not three years old and can obviously see that it is not that simple.

As Phoebe Barnes listened to her, it occurred to her that it was what she had guessed, that it would be Wind Rong who took care of the back end.

After thinking about it for a while, she said, “It’s true that it’s not a thief, but it’s not a simple person either, Sister Long, there’s no way I can explain this to you, anyway, I’m fine, so don’t ask too many questions.”

Kelsey Long is a shrewd person, naturally can hear the meaning of her words, did not press further, just said: “Then will there be such a dangerous thing again?”

Will not appear again, Phoebe Barnes also can not be sure, after all, this kind of thing, can only say that poverty limits her imagination, simply can not predict, but before Kelsey Long worry, she still seriously back, “will not, and, in the future, I will be more careful.”

Kelsey Long breathed a small sigh of relief, “Well well, that’s good. Also, I have informed Lu Shao, he said he will arrange two bodyguards for you to bring along later.”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes froze, held her phone, looked up at the turquoise sky, and exclaimed, “How did you tell him?”

Once involved in that guy, this matter will certainly not be so simple to end, he will certainly have all kinds of suspicions, and may go back to let people check again, then, she then want to justify also have no words to say.

“He’s the big boss, you were almost murdered, of course I had to tell him, besides, he’s much more useful than the police.”

Phoebe Barnes held her forehead, some headache, do not know what to say.

At this point, she could only make a mental preparation to face John Lu’s vocal criticism.

“I got it, I’ll be back on set this afternoon, you and Megan take a break.”

Kelsey Long knew she should be in shock even if she wasn’t hurt, and thoughtfully said, “Why don’t I give you an extra day off?”

“No need, Sister Long, I’m fine, I’ll be fine after half a day’s rest, I’ll take a taxi to the set by myself in the afternoon, you don’t need to come and pick me up.”

“Okay, just as long as you’re okay, we’ll talk more about the other things when we meet this afternoon.”

After hanging up the phone, Phoebe Barnes looked online and indeed there was nothing about her last night, but a few cryptic news items from the nooks and crannies of the web.

The Till Family was secretly admitted to the hospital last night in a tragic accident, and his life is in danger.

Just a title, click on it after the inner Rong has been removed.

Phoebe Barnes face a few points, Wind Rong really in accordance with Kemp Ross said that the abolition of a pair of his legs?

And will the Till Family let it go?

Wind Rong will not come forward, then they will definitely come to Kemp Ross.

Thinking about the conversation between the two of them last night, she couldn’t help but feel some concern welling up in her heart.

This matter in the end is because of her, she even if she can not help what, but also have to be clear things are.

After thinking about it, she reopened her address book, flipped to a number and dialed it.

“Hey, baby, why are you calling me at this hour?” Nancy MO’s leisurely and lazy tones came out from the phone.

“It’s something for you.” Phoebe Barnes sounded slightly serious. “Do me a favor.”

Nancy MO was slightly stunned, “Help? What is it?”

“Well …” Phoebe Barnes mused for a few seconds, then stated all about last night and the first feud with that Murray Till at Mirror Lake Autumn Moon.

Nancy MO’s tone immediately turned anxious and worried, “Shit! You had such a big incident last night, why didn’t you tell me about it? How are you doing now? I’ll be right over.”

“I’m all right now, you don’t have to come over and help me get this done.” Phoebe Barnes’ tone was nothing choppy as she said lightly, “You know people from all walks of life, now I’ll just have to ask you to help me check out this Till Family.”

She could probably get all the information directly from John Lu, but she wouldn’t be stupid enough to jump into the hole voluntarily until he called.

“This is no problem, it just so happens that I also have nothing to do.” Nancy MO agreed crisply, but what she was curious about was another thing, “You just said that last night Big President Fu arrived in time and also had someone scrap a pair of legs of that Tang? Tsk, this is also considered strength to protect his wife, you still say he does not care about you, how can this be explained?”
