Chapter 251

“Alright, I’m just the extra wheel here,” he thought, and with that, he picked up his things and left.

Seeing Macro leave, the weight on Stephanie’s heart finally lifted. However, as if on cue, Macro turned back to look at Sebastian. “Are you feeling anything else?”

Stephanie stiffened for a moment, feeling the weight return. She now had an urge to wrench Marco’s head off.

“What else could he be feeling? I already told you he took the medicine.” Her tone was harsh, as if she would really go up and hit Macro if he said another word.

Macro protested, “No, as a doctor, I can’t ask about his condition? That’s no ordinary medicine. It could have side effects. What’s wrong with me asking?”

Stephanie was speechless. It wasn’t just asking; the implication in his tone was just too obvious.

Macro looked at Stephanie, his gaze settling on the scarf around her neck. “Listen…”

“Marco.” Sebastian interrupted coldly before Macro could finish.

Marco met Sebastian’s deep eyes, and in that instant, a light bulb went off in his head. He understood. He was going to lecture the child again. They were both grown men, and he would look down on him if he couldn’t understand this.

Macro left.

Now left alone with Sebastian, Stephanie felt incredibly nervous, as if her heart might jump out of her throat at any moment.

“Sebastian, do you feel any discomfort anywhere else?” she stammered, trying to control the unease in her voice.

Sebastian gazed at her with deep eyes. Seeing that he didn’t respond, Stephanie cautiously raised her eyes and glanced at Sebastian. When she met his profound gaze, her heart skipped a beat again.

“Why… Why are you staring at me like that?” He was so intimidating when he was serious. Even Stephanie, who had grown up by his side, couldn’t help but feel afraid of him.

“Come here,” Sebastian said.

Stephanie couldn’t speak. She was filled with fear, but she didn’t dare disobey the serious Sebastian. She shuffled over to the bed. The closer she got, the more she felt the intimidating aura emanating from him.

Stephanie didn’t dare go any further. She cautiously glanced at Sebastian and asked, “Are you feeling… unwell anywhere?”

The moment the words left her lips, Stephanie felt her wrist seized by his scorching hand. Before she could react, she was pulled down onto the bed.

Stephanie’s breathing hitched. “Sebastian, what are you…”

“Stefi, how did I get this injury here? Hmm?” Sebastian pulled open his collar, revealing a large area of scratches right before Stephanie. Her blood seemed to freeze in her veins at that instant.

‘No, well… I really didn’t scratch him. How did these blood marks get there?’ Stephanie wondered to herself.

“Yeah, how did you get hurt?” She looked at Sebastian with a bewildered expression.

Sebastian took her hand and looked at it closely. Seeing him staring at her nails, Stephanie felt a pang of guilt even though she had done nothing. She instinctively pulled her hand back and stammered, “Well… from a fall?”

“A fall that left marks like these? And so many of them?”

Stephanie couldn’t speak. Her gaze instinctively flicked to Sebastian’s chest, and those blood marks certainly looked like they were from scratching. The excuse of a fall was so unbelievable that even she didn’t buy it.

Stephanie felt like crying.

“Then how did you get hurt?”

She had been really careful not to scratch him, even when she was in pain and desperate. So she was really puzzled about how the injuries on his chest had appeared.

“How did I end up in your room?” Sebastian asked.

Stephanie’s mouth twitched. This was a question she couldn’t explain even more.

‘Wait, what does he mean by asking this? He’s forgotten again?’ Thinking of this, Stephanie felt a bit uneasy.
