Chapter 61
Stephanie looked at Dominick with a complicated expression. He held a large lunch bow in his right hand and seemed to be having a bons in
his left hand
She thought, “What is he going to do?
“Tat these.
Dominick opened the lunch box he brought and placed it in front of her. His tone sounded like fe was ordering her
“No”
Stephanie had a straight face, not knowing why the was sulky. She continued to eat the food the nurse brought, picked up the fired eggs she hated, and stuffed the fried goose liver into her mouth.
In the small lounge of the ward, there was a set of simple solid wood chairs and a glass coffee table. The food Dominick brought was placed on the table, and a delicious smell filled the air.
“Ms. Reed, you didn’t like the food I brought. This soup is suitable for you to drink, it is not greasy. Moreover, the soup made in this restau is very famous… the nurse said to Stephanie, trying to persuade her.
Stephanie smelled the soup. It was her favorite soup, but her face became even colder.
She thought, “What exactly does Dominick want to do? How could
ould he be so kind? What if he put poison in the soup?”
Stephanie childishly got sulky.
still
“I like the food you brought.”
With a cold face, she forked a large piece of fried egg and put it into her mouth resolutely. She chewed it, pretending to enjoy it.
Dominick did not speak. He sat on the chair opposite her and looked at her thoughtfully
Stephanie got even angrier with him. Being stared at, she couldn’t even stop eating.
After dinner, she lay on the bed and acted like a peaceful patient.
She stared blankly at the boring TV series playing on the TV on the wall. From time to time, she glanced secretly at Dominick, who was sitting in the small lounge.
The atmosphere in this ward was weird…
Stephanie and Dominick were in the same space, neither talking. She was watching TV absentmindedly, and he…was reading a book.
She slightly widened her eyes, thinking, ‘No way! He is reading a fairy tale book!”
Dominick suddenly turned to look at Stephanie, and he met her eyes.
Stephanie frowned and immediately lay back on the bed with her back to him.
However, Dominick approached her with the Grimm’s Fairy
Tales…
He stood beside the bed and slightly furrowed his brows, looking like he was struggling with something

Chapter 61
“Do you want to listen to
to a story?” he said in a low voice, dripping with embarrassment.
Stephanie thought she misheard him.
Dominick sat on the chair next to the hospital bed and started reading the story of Snow White werd by want. This romantle fairy tale was completely at odds with his cold and stern temperament.
Stephanie could tell that he was reading it very carefully, and he was very awkward.
She listened to his reading with her back to him and complained in her heart, Why is he reading this story? I don’t like this! No doubt, she had a strange feeling
When Dominick read that Snow White took a bite of the poisonous apple, his deep eyes widened slightly, and he seemed surprised
Such a surprised expression, clean and pure, was unlikely to appear on his cold face.
But at this moment, Dominick was a little stunned,
“It turns out it really works,” he murmured, feeling excited.
Stephanie fell into a sound sleep. Dominick looked down at the fairy tale book in his hand.
He had seen a couple in the hospital lobby before. The woman acted coy and asked the man to tell her stories to coax her to sleep. At that time, he thought this method was very childish and unscientific.
But somehow, he bought this Grimm’s Fairy Tales.
Suddenly, there was a chuckle from the ward door.
pher
When Dominick looked up, he had already regained his usual cold expression. The nurse at the door was startled, quickly packed up things, and then left.
The doctors and nurses in the hospital all knew that the patient in the ward was Dominick’s wife, and Dominick did not seem to be as heartless and scary as the rumors said.
His surprised look just now was inexplicably cute.
Unfortunately, Stephanie fell asleep and did not see it.
Stephanie slept deeply. She dreamed of the scene in the Snow White story that Dominick had just read. Courtney, the witch, gave her a poisoned apple and asked her to eat.
She snatched the apple and crushed it into crumbs with one hand. “You wicked woman!” She was angry and kicked Courtney. Suddenly, the dream scene changed. Stephanie stood on a beautiful stone bridge, and a man riding a white horse approached her.
“Prince Charming?”
Her heart was beating fast, and she looked expectantly at the man, who was gradually approaching her.
However, when she saw the man’s stern face clearly, Stephanie looked panicked and shouted, “Get out…”
She screamed, and when she opened her eyes, she realized that she was dreaming.
The morning sunlight shone in. Stephanie looked at the clock on the wall. It was 7 a.m. She was the only one in the ward, and it was quiet.
Chapter 61
She lay on the bed and took several deep breaths, but her heartbeat was still a little fast.
“Give me back my gentle Prince Charming!”
Stephanie was inexplicably angry, thinking, “Why did I dream about Dominick? If Dominick rides a horse, he should take a scimitar. His cold and sinister temperament is more like that of Death.
It was not too early now.
Stephanie simply got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. At 8 o’clock, the doctor would make rounds on the morning shift, so after washing, she had to lie on the bed.
As soon as she sat on the bed, the ward door was opened.
Stephanie instinctively looked up at the clock on the wall. It was only 7:30 a.m., and the doctor probably hadn’t come to work yet.
The door opened with a click. When Stephanie saw the person, she was stunned. It was Dominick. Why did he come again?
Dominick looked at her, and his face suddenly turned cold.
Immediately, he strode towards her.
Stephanie was a little frightened by his cold face. “Hey, what are you doing…”
Dominick came over, bent down to get close to her, and reached out to her chest. Stephanie nervously wanted to push him away. She thought, ‘is he crazy? It’s early in the morning? What does he want to do?”
Seeing
her wary face, Dominick suddenly became a little angry. “Button your clothes. Vincent and Scott will be here soon…
Upon hearing this, Stephanie lowered her head and then noticed that the collar of her patient gown was unbuttoned. Dominick was buttoning her clothes for her, but she got him wrong.
“I’m a woman, so it shouldn’t matter if I see her,” the nurse came in with some injection bottles and chuckled teasingly.
Stephanie and the nurse looked at each other, and she immediately blushed.
She pushed Dominick away hard, feeling embarrassed and angry. “Okay. You don’t need to button the top button!”
But Dominick insisted on buttoning it. “Don’t move.”
Seeing Stephanie’s embarrassment, the nurse quickly got her the infusion and left.
“It would be great I had such a good boyfriend. I would be happy if my boyfriend’s background and appearance were not that outstanding.”
“Keep your voice down. Stop dreaming, that man is Dominick Wellington. He comes from Havencrest…”
The nurses in the hospital had been very excited,these days, and Stephanie could vaguely hear them talking about Dominick,
“Dominick didn’t seem to eat anything yesterday. He brought food for himself and that woman, but the woman refused to eat…”
Stephanie thought. “None of my business. But Dominick did come over with dinner for two last night. Did he plan to have dinner with me here?’
As she thought about it, her expression became more gloomy and complicated.

Chapter 61
Stephanie looked towards the balcony of the ward. Dominick was on the phone. It seemed that there was an emergency in his company. He, a busy bee, really didn’t need to stay here and waste time.
“Stephanie, why are you staring at Dominick with such eager eyes?”
As soon as Vincent came in, he laughed and teased her.
Stephanie retorted with a gloomy face, “Why are you here? I don’t want to see you.”
“I’m here to care for you. You’ve had a reaction to the medicine, but why are you still so irritable?” Vincent was cheeky. He sat on the chair next to the hospital bed and said bluntly to anger Stephanie.
“Ms. Reed, we are here to ask you something.” Scott said in a gentle manner.
He wore an expensive black suit and silver-rimmed glasses.
“Scott, you don’t have to be so gentle. Stephanie likes to be simple and direct, so just get to the point.
Vincent had light brown hair, and a blue diamond earring was exposed from the tip of his hair at his left ear, which was shining brightly, as showy as his personality.
Dominick’s friends were all from distinguished families and could not be offended.
Stephanie looked at them and suddenly remembered the gap between her and them.
She lowered her gaze, and the long eyelashes covered the humility in her eyes. “Ask if you have any questions.”
Vincent noticed that she seemed unhappy. Turning his head, he noticed the book on the bedside and was surprised. He immediately joked, “Stephanie, you still read Grimm’s Fairy Tales. You are not a child, but you still retain your innocence.”
Stephanie glared at him. Dominick bought the book.
“Put the book down.” Dominick hung up the phone and walked over from the balcony.
Seeing him, Vincent smiled awkwardly and immediately put the book back.
Scott stood aside, looked at them, and couldn’t help chuckling
No matter how arrogant Vincent was, he had to restrain himself in front of Dominick. Stephanie did not need to feel humble at all.
“Ms. Reed, who did you talk to on the phone the night you had the accident?” Scott asked.
“No one in particular,” she answered casually.
“You are lying!” Vincent immediately retorted.
“Stephanie, I happened to call you that night, and your phone was always busy. Have you seen anyone besides visiting your grandma since you came to Caelorium?”
Stephanie looked at their scrutinizing eyes and felt that they were interrogating her. She lowered her eyes and felt not well.
“We just want to tell you that you may have been taken advantage of by some people,” Scott was thoughtful, and he saw her restraint at a glance.
Stephanie looked up at them and saw Dominick standing beside her. He looked at her intently as if waiting for her to continue speaking.
Chapter 61
But… Stephanie felt a little stressed. “I didn’t go to see anyone,” she finally said.
Dominick slightly narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. Vincent and Scott looked at each other. They all knew that Stephanie was hiding something from them.
In fact, they had already investigated before they came over. That day, Stephanie received a call from an unknown number at 6 p.m. Soon, she left the hotel and hailed a taxi.
Stephanie was a stunning beauty. The driver soon recognized her and told them where he had sent her.
Even if Stephanie refused to tell them, they could easily find out who she met that night through the phone number. They thought she was a little strange and that she didn’t want to tell them the truth.
“You used to fight and be arrested for outsiders, and now you want to help…” Dominick was furious. Stephanie always hurt herself.
“Dominick, don’t…” Stephanie’s heart skipped a beat, and she nervously grabbed the hem of his clothes.
With his means, if he really wanted to find out who was to blame, someone would be killed…
“Stephanie, don’t be so self-righteous!” Vincent glared at her with a straight face.
Stephanie looked at them, saying nothing. She was not self-righteous, but she had difficulties…
