Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. Ford Is Jealous: Kabanata 991 - Kabanata 1000

She heard Weston from above her head, saying in a low voice.“But…” Stella said quietly. It was as if she didn’t want to alert the bystanders. “You are hurt, aren’t you?”He said nonchalantly, “It’s just a minor thing. Don’t worry about it.”He pressed her back. “Were you hurt?”She shook her head.She was completely untouched.He had protected her so well that not once inch on her skin had been scathed.She could clearly feel his tense body easing a little when she responded.With his big warm palm caressing her back gently, he didn’t fail to comfort her. “Don't be scared. No one will hurt you now.”She clutched his suit jacket hard with trembling hands.The sudden attack hadn’t only left her terrified but left many complicated and indistinguishable feelings inside her.She did not expect that he would stand in front of her without a second thought.Even she knew that the bottle that the man held might contain acid.The thought would’ve surely crossed his mind, yet he sti

But she did not expect that these fans would be so stupid!Didn’t they know that their action would only bring her bad influence?These were all her fans. Once they investigated the matter, the blame would surely be on her.She looked at Weston anxiously. “Weston, I really didn’t know they’d do this. Trust me. I’d never do such a thing…”At that moment, the man simply ignored her.Stella could feel Weston’s increasingly rigid force.She said with a trembling voice, “Call the doctor first. He’s been doused with acid…”“What?”Warren jumped to his feet in a flash. “Why didn’t you say anything?!”He looked very anxious, but more than that, he was angry.Stella was about to open her mouth when Weston nudged her back gently.Then, he turned his head to Warren. “Grandfather, I am fine. Let’s take care of this first.”He rubbed her head, hinting for her to shut up.He knew she was stunned. If they continued to pursue the matter, Warren might be angry with her again.Warren had r

In Warren’s eyes, this was the most serious thing.This man was not targeting Weston—it was Weston who had acted so brazenly and was severely injured while protecting Stella—giving him a reason to make things difficult for Stella.Weston would, of course, wouldn’t grant him the chance. Putting on a calm expression, he asked, “Is there anything else you want to say, Grandfather?”Apart from the moment his face turned pale when the acid hit him, he behaved no differently than his usual, stoic self.Warren sullenly surveyed him and only waved his hand. “Nothing. Stella was scared, right? You take her up to rest.”Throughout the whole process, Weston did not show any abnormality.He brought Stella upstairs. Under the light, Stella saw the man’s face. It was as handsome as ever, albeit with a little innate indifference.The side of his face was so sharp that he looked like he’d reject someone even without looking at them.She finally could not resist and asked, “...Are you really al

Stella looked at him in disbelief. “Don’t tell me you’ll follow me to the bathroom as well?”“I’ve said it. You have to be within my sight.”He didn’t even seem to feel the least bit horrified by what he said. “I will never let such a thing happen again. Even if you are at Stardust Mansion, I will ensure someone keeps watch on you, and you are not allowed to go anywhere alone.”“You are crazy!” In disgust, Stella tried to pry herself away from him.“I am.”He suddenly hugged her tightly and pinched her chin hard, forcing her to look into his eyes—“Even if I’m crazy, it is better than seeing you get hurt.”If he wasn’t with her today, which part of her would that acid have hit?Her face?Her body?Or worse, her throat?Her neck was so fragile…Weston slowly placed his hand on it.It was so tender that it seemed it would break if he exerted a little force.A more concentrated acid would’ve burned through her neck easily.Her life was so fragile. Any tiny mistake would kil

Weston glanced at it and wasn’t very interested. “If you are thirsty, you can ask the kitchen to bring you something.”Stella shook her head. “Don’t bother them. I can just make something myself. Do you want some?”She looked into his eyes and tried to look as calm as she could.He gazed deeply into her eyes and saw a little anticipation in them. He kissed the corner of her mouth. “Okay. You made it. Of course I’ll drink it.”One last step to go, she thought.Weston was waiting for her in the living room.Even though it was just a short distance from the living room to the kitchen, he had to keep an eye on her, to keep her within his sight.She let out a breath and added all those oleanders.This amount was enough to kill a grown man.After drinking it, they would do many things.She thought, maybe she could give him a night today and stall for time.By the time he realized something wasn’t right, it would be too late to perform the gastric lavage procedure.Her mind was
