Chapter 259
Hearing Chris mention the Hart and Ashford families, Stephanie realized the matter with Olivia was probably related to Sebastian. Wait a minute. It seemed like Sebastian had been very unhappy when he heard about the car accident.
Stephanie said, “You’re still acting tough? Chris, you’re something else.” He already knew it was related to her, but he could still be so harsh to her on the phone.
Stephanie continued, “Let me remind you, Olivia almost took half of my life two years ago. I have a big flaw: when someone owes me, I don’t feel comfortable if they don’t give me some ‘interest.’” He was so arrogant that it made her look like a bully. They were also despicable when they tried to bully her.
Stephanie chuckled and added, “Half a lifetime times two. Quite fair.” Chris was completely furious, “Stephanie Giovanni!” He roared out in anger. But before he could say anything else, Stephanie hung up the phone.
‘It was Sebastian, wasn’t it?’ Whether it was him or not, Olivia deserved it. Originally, when Allison said that Olivia had those illnesses, Stephanie didn’t even want to take action against her. She didn’t expect that Sebastian would…
Thinking about how he had always protected her, she couldn’t help but feel warm. She didn’t know where this incident would lead them. Stephanie felt weak all over and touched her forehead, realizing that she seemed to have a fever. She got out of bed and wanted to have some water. But as soon as her legs touched the ground, she fell to the ground. So weak and painful. The pain in her thighs made it difficult for her to even stand up.
Chapter 250
Obviously, he had just come back from outside.
When Sebastian came in, he saw Stephanie slumped on the ground, unable to get up. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Stephanie turned her head. Seeing Sebastian, she was momentarily stunned, and then her eyes filled with helplessness, “Sebastian.” Sebastian was still wearing a windbreaker, and there were a few unmelted snowflakes on his shoulders and hair.
He strode forward and scooped Stephanie up from the ground. “What happened?” Stephanie burst into tears. “I’m in so much pain. I have no strength.” Aching and weak, it was a feeling she had never experienced before. The moment Sebastian picked her up, he felt her unusually high body temperature. He put her back on the bed, felt her forehead, and sure enough, it was burning hot.
Ten minutes later, Macro was called over. When he took Stephanie’s temperature, it had already reached 39 degrees. “How did you get such a high fever? Are you injured?” Stephanie was speechless. It was fine until he mentioned injuries, but at the mention of it, her body stiffened and her face turned bright red. It was more than just an injury. It was quite embarrassing where she was hurt.
Macro saw that she didn’t respond and asked again, “I asked if you were injured.” His tone was a bit irritated. Especially now, when Macro looked at Stephanie, he felt that she had done something bad to Sebastian. Stephanie swallowed and nodded. “Yes, but I’m not so sure.” “It seems like I am injured. It hurts so much there.” Macro didn’t know what to say. And Sebastian froze for a second.
Upon hearing her say she wasn’t so sure, both of them looked at her with concern. Stephanie felt a chill under their intense gaze. Especially from Sebastian, whose piercing eyes seemed to have X-ray vision, able to see through her.
Sebastian said to Macro, “You go out for now.” “Huh?” Macro was confused. ‘What was going on? I’m a doctor. What can’t I know?’ he wondered. But that look from Sebastian… Forget it, he’d better go out. This time, Macro didn’t dig into it. He went out without asking any more questions.
It was just Stephanie and Sebastian. He sat down on the bed and reached out to pull away the quilt. “Let me see.” Stephanie was shocked. “Beat bee what? Oh my god, what does he want to do?” she thought confusedly.
