I was stunned for a moment. Did the police actually announce that the victim was still alive? Werenât they afraid that the killer would find out and go to the hospital to kill him again? Or did the police have their own plans?
âLetâs go to the hospital first,â I whispered.
Michael glanced at his arm and said in a low vole âLetâs go to the hospital first.â I frowned.
Laughing, he drove to the hospital.
âIâm fineâ¦â
âStephieâ¦â Michael looked at me. âYouâre still worried about me, right? Just nowâ¦â
I frowned and looked at him. âIf it were a dog that got stabbed, Iâd be worried too.â
Michael seemed speechless and didnât look happy.
However, since âStephanie Carlsonâ died, Michaelâs temper seemed to have improved a lot. If I had said such sarcastic things to him before, he probably would have gone mad already.
âAs long as youâre with me, Martinâs people will think twice before making a move,â Michael said, implying that I should stay close to him.
gave a cold laugh. âBeing with you seems like the most dangerous option. Why do you think Martinâs people started tailing me the moment I left your house? Clearly, someone in your house sold me out.â
Michael frowned. âAngel?â
I stared at him incredulously. âAre you insane? Itâs Yasmin!â
Michael chuckled. âI was just teasing you.â
I thought there was something wrong with Michael, so I ignored him.
âYouâre doing it on purpose, arenât you?â Michael asked.
âI donât know what youâre talking about.â I felt irritated whenever Michael spoke now.
âYou must know that someone from the Ford family might betray you. Itâll be dangerous to go out.â
Michael glanced at his arm, wincing in pain. Blood continued to trickle down his arm because the wound hadnât been bandaged.
I ignored him. After all, his wound was far from lifeâthreatening.
âYou know I wonât let anything happen to youâ¦â Michaelâs face started to pale.
He glanced at me. âStephie, please help me stop the bleeding.â
I glanced at him irritably. âItâs not fatal. A little blood loss might even prevent infection.â
Michael was speechless, his lips twitching slightly..
âStephie⦠you intentionally led me out here alone. Is there something you want to tell me?â Michael looked at me with anticipation in his eyes.
I glanced at Michael. I did want to tell him about Yasminâs scheme against him.
However, based on Michaelâs previous behavior, I knew he wouldnât believe me. It would just be like wat off a duckâs back. âHavenât you ever suspected Yasmin?â
Michaelâs gaze grew complicated as he looked at me, his eyes showing a hint of depth. After a long silence, he said, âIâm not a fool.â
âPfftâ¦â I let out a mocking laugh.
He wasnât a fool?
âTake care of yourself.â I didnât say much more. If he had ever suspected Yasmin, he should be cautious.
âStephie, my wound is still bleeding.â Michael reached out to me.
I examined his injury and pressed a tissue against it. âThere, bear with it.â
Michael gave a helpless laugh. âStephie, I donât believe you donât have any feelings for me anymore.
