DANGEROUS LOVE, MY STEPFATHER'S SECRET의 모든 챕터: 챕터 41 - 챕터 50

“What happened?”“Claire.”“Mr. Robert?”I didn’t expect to find Anthonio Robert in front of my treatment room. He stood bravely in front of two burly men whose sizes were quite intimidating. But Anthonio didn’t seem to be the least bit afraid. On the contrary, he looked so arrogant, and he didn’t seem to intend to give up so easily.“Thank goodness you are okay. I heard about your accident and tried to call you since yesterday, but your phone was off.”“Yeah, I don’t have a phone. My phone was broken and taken by the police as evidence.”I looked at the burly men in turn. They still didn’t seem like they were going to let Anthonio into my treatment room even though Anthonio was clearly one of my lecturers.“Are you okay?”“Thankfully I’m still alive,” I chuckled softly.I turned to the guard standing near me.“Let Mr. Robert in. He’s my lecturer and I’m his assistant.”“I’m sorry, but Mr. Marshal doesn’t allow anyone to enter your treatment room except for the doctor and nurses who a

I glanced over my shoulder, glancing at Claire for a moment before walking out of her treatment room. I didn't want to disturb her sleep with my loud voice.The guards stood still as I passed them. I walked straight down the silent hospital hallway. There was no one here but me. My footsteps echoed through the halls. There were no nurses walking around at one in the morning. When I passed the nurses’ station, there were only three tired-faced nurses on duty. They barely noticed me as I walked past them.“The order came in an hour ago. I ran a background check. Everything is clean and there are no issues. He offered a very high price. Higher than what you got for killing Robert.”“Have you forgotten the procedure? You have to confirm it with me before forwarding it to my personal portal.”I stopped in front of an old drink machine that was attached to the wall. I fed a few coins into the old drink machine, then selected a cold coke. The drink plopped noisily into the drawer. I picked i

“Rave? I thought I’d be having dinner alone again tonight.”“Hey, how was your second day back home after getting out of the hospital?”Claire jumped up from her chair and gave me a welcoming hug. I squeezed her tiny body gently. This hug was just what I needed to fix my very messed-up mood.“Horrible. I’m bored to death. There’s nothing I can do but lie around and reply to Olivia’s emails.”“You can read a book in my study if you’re bored.”“Yeah, but I’m getting tired of reading. I want a phone,” Claire winced as she pulled away.“Can I get a new phone?”“I’m sorry, I haven’t had the chance to buy you a new one yet. I’ll get one tomorrow.”“Thank you. I need a phone to communicate with my friends. I have an exam the day after tomorrow. So...”“So, you want to go back to campus the day after tomorrow?” I raised my eyebrows.I pulled out an empty chair across from Claire. She seemed to notice my bad mood and how inappropriate it was to bring up her plans to go back to campus right now

My index finger traced the books that were arranged in alphabetical order. I had arrived at the letter J and none of the books interested me. All of those books didn't seem to be Raviel's taste either. I had never even seen him read a book when he was at home. Sometimes I wondered if these books were just decorations in his very spacious study? Besides, they looked brand new and like they had never been opened before.My index finger stopped on a book that had no title on its cover. It was just plain white without a name or author. I pulled it out, and it turned out that it wasn’t a book. It was a very large piece of paper. It was bigger than a newspaper and folded into the size of a book.“Is this the floor plan of this house?”I spread the paper on Raviel’s desk, amazed that this mansion turned out to be so big. This made me excited. I found something fun to ease my boredom.My finger traced every colored picture on the paper. The architect made the floor plan in great detail and co

I decided to forget about Raviel's anger and just focus on the things that really mattered. One of them was being Anthonio Robert's assistant. I found that being a lecturer was very enjoyable. I interacted with junior students, taught them things they had never learned before, and watched them study. It was very effective in distracting my mind from the incident a week ago when Raviel was furious at me just because I shared his address with Anthonio.It was really ridiculous and strange. It didn't even make sense.How could someone be that angry just because someone else knew their home address?After that incident, Raviel didn’t even bother to explain to me the reason behind his anger. He just walked away to continue his life without any intention of mending the rift between us.This made me very sad. I mean, I was sad because I probably didn’t know him well. I thought we knew each other and understood each other all this time, but what happened to us last week proved that we didn’t
