Chapter 727
“Oh, I think it’s Room 5.” Emmanuel’s response was casual, oblivious to
Beatrix’s imaginative speculations.
At the sound of his voice, Beatrix felt an affirming jolt-her assumptions were
proving to be on point.
When has Mackenzie ever delegated her phone to someone else?
Given the timing, could she be in the middle of a shower?
It’s quite unbelievable that a clean freak like Mackenzie would willingly
choose to come to a place like this with Emmanuel.
But then again, the power of love is truly remarkable.
“Alright, I’ll be right there in a moment!”
With that, Beatrix swiftly hung up and darted into action.
Unaware of Beatrix’s state of mind, Emmanuel placed the phone down and
waited in the room,
After hearing a knock on the door, he swiftly swung it open.
He was greeted by the sight of Beatrix, who stood there panting heavily, her
cheeks delicately flushed. Slightly hunched, she patted her chest to regain
her composure.
As soon as Beatrix caught her breath, she immediately asked, “Where’s my
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsister?”
Before Emmanuel could reply, her attention was drawn to the bathroom
where the light was on, and it seemed like someone was taking a bath inside.
Oh, my goodness!
The expression on Beatrix’s face was as if she had been struck by lightning.
She prided herself on being a real-life detective as her intuition had led her
to suspect the truth early on. Yet, when confronted with the evidence, it was
hard to believe that she had been spot-on.
“What’s wrong?”
Emmanuel furrowed his brows, assuming Beatrix’s unusual behavior was due
to her hastiness.
She’s such an enthusiastic little firecracker!
“I-It’s nothing! Emmanuel, here’s what you asked for. I won’t bother you any
longer!”
Beatrix seemed a bit flustered.
Why would Emmanuel open the door just as he and Mackenzie are about to
do that kind of thing?
Is he not concerned that Mackenzie will be angry when she comes out?
“Hold on… Emmanuel, if there’s anything else you or my sister need, just let
me know. I’ll run any errands you need, and I’ll make sure they’re done!”
Beatrix punctuated her promise with a pat on her chest.
As Emmanuel’s eyebrows furrowed even more, he couldn’t help but wonder
what Beatrix had up her sleeve.
“Most likely, it won’t be necessary. But if the need arises, I’ll definitely reach
out. Thanks!”
“You’re welcome! We’re all pitching in for the Quillen family!” Beatrix
responded with enthusiasm. She did not plan to interrupt Emmanuel and
Mackenzie in their private moment.
To her surprise, as her gaze swept across, she was taken aback by the sight
of that bloodstain on the bedsheet. Her entire being was once again struck
as if by a bolt from the blue!
“W-What is that?!” Beatrix stammered, her finger trembling as she pointed at
the bloodstain.
was hard for her to believe that Mackenzie and Emmanuel had already
taken things to that level.
It seemed that the shower wasn’t the pre-activity preparation, but rather the
aftermath clean-up.
Emmanuel turned around and noticed the bloodstain. Having just tended to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe Snake Master’s wounds, he inadvertently got blood on his hands and
accidentally transferred some of it onto the sheets while seating himself on
the bed.
He began to explain, “Oh, that’s blood, but it’s not mine…”
However, Beatrix cut him off with vigorous nods and said, “I get it! No need to
explain, Emmanuel. I’m leaving now! Bye!”
With that, she sprinted away as fast as her legs could carry her.
There was no doubt in her mind. It was clear to her that the blood wasn’t
courtesy of her simple-minded brother-in-law; it had to be her sister’s.
Oh, my goodness!
How on earth could Mackenzie, typically as cold as ice and even has
germaphobia and androphobia, decide to give away her most precious thing
in a place like this?
If Grandpa finds out, he’s definitely going to blow a fuse.
“No, I’ve got to inform Grandpa right away!”
After dashing out of the inn, Beatrix leaped into the car and immediately
directed the driver, “Hurry! Let’s get back to the Quillen residence as fast as
possible!”
She decided to personally deliver the news to her grandfather since she
thought that telling him over the phone might not be enough to convey her
excitement.
