Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 727
âOh, I think itâs Room 5.â Emmanuelâs response was casual, oblivious to
Beatrixâs 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?
Itâs 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.
âAlright, Iâll be right there in a moment!â
With that, Beatrix swiftly hung up and darted into action.
Unaware of Beatrixâs 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, âWhereâs my
sister?â
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 Beatrixâs 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.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Emmanuel furrowed his brows, assuming Beatrixâs unusual behavior was due
to her hastiness.
Sheâs such an enthusiastic little firecracker!
âI-Itâs nothing! Emmanuel, hereâs what you asked for. I wonât bother you any
longer!â
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?
âHold on⦠Emmanuel, if thereâs anything else you or my sister need, just let
me know. Iâll run any errands you need, and Iâll make sure theyâre done!â
Beatrix punctuated her promise with a pat on her chest.
As Emmanuelâs eyebrows furrowed even more, he couldnât help but wonder
what Beatrix had up her sleeve.
âMost likely, it wonât be necessary. But if the need arises, Iâll definitely reach
out. Thanks!â
âYouâre welcome! Weâre all pitching in for the Quillen family!â 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!
âW-What is that?!â 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 wasnât the pre-activity preparation, but rather the
aftermath clean-up.
Emmanuel turned around and noticed the bloodstain. Having just tended to
the Snake Masterâs 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, âOh, thatâs blood, but itâs not mineâ¦â
However, Beatrix cut him off with vigorous nods and said, âI get it! No need to
explain, Emmanuel. Iâm leaving now! Bye!â
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 wasnât
courtesy of her simple-minded brother-in-law; it had to be her sisterâs.
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, heâs definitely going to blow a fuse.
âNo, Iâve got to inform Grandpa right away!â
After dashing out of the inn, Beatrix leaped into the car and immediately
directed the driver, âHurry! Letâs get back to the Quillen residence as fast as
possible!â
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.
