As she turned over, her delicate lips were revealed. They were slightly open, from which a light snoring sound
escaped. Her crimson lips were inviting, and Edwin casually took two steps forward.
Joanne's body was emitting a faint medicinal fragrance, and Edwin's fingers brushed her long fine hair.
He repeated his motion.
He avariciously stared at her sleeping face, trying to smooth the folds between her eyebrows.
However, just as his fingertips were about to touch her cheek, Joanne's phone suddenly rang on the bedside table.
Edwin's first thought was to reject the call. He didn't want her to be disturbed at such a late hour.
But Joanne didn't sleep too deeply. When the phone rang, she was awakened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the dark night, she suddenly saw a robust figure at the head of the bed. Her face paled, and she subconsciously
tried to call out to the nurse.
"Relax, it's me.” Edwin turned on the bed lamp.
The warm light lit up, and the ward was instantly bright. Joanne made out the man standing in the room, but her
face turned paler. She had locked the door. How did he get in?
As if reading her mind, Edwin straightened up and explained calmly, "The door lock is busted. I didn't want you to
have any bad dreams in the middle of the night, so I came in to keep you company."
"You are my worst nightmare. Get out," Joanne shouted, pointing to the door.nvëlx.o

Edwin sensed Joanne's eagerness to answer the phone.
It was annoying to receive a phone call in the middle of the night. Why was she so anxious about it?
With a hint of curiosity in his mind, Edwin stretched out his long arm and took the phone from the table. The sight of
the caller ID made him frown.
"Deary?" Baby?
Could it be Patrick?
But wasn't he already engaged to the daughter of the Brown family?
"What are you doing? Give me back my phone!" Joanne saw him grab the phone, and her heart almost leaped out

If she did that, things would be exposed.
Edwin held the phone high so that Joanne couldn't reach it. He arched his brow and said, "Let me stay with you
tonight, and I'll give you back your phone."
"Why should I?" Joanne glared at the despicable man and said, "The phone is mine, and you're stealing it! Give it
back to me, now!"
"I'll count to three. If you don't answer me, I'll take it as your consent for me to stay." His seductive voice, laden with
an air of unpredictable danger, seemed to reverberate through the night. Joanne clenched her fists, trying to
remain calm.
The phone kept on ringing.
After a hang-up, it rang again.
She had once told Tail that if she didn't answer the call, perhaps she hadn't heard it, and Tail could try calling again.
