“okay.”

Moses handed her the purchased items. From his angle, even if people were outside, they could not

see what he was doing, let alone recognize Cynthia as the person opening the door.

After delivering the items, Moses followed Cynthia’s instructions and waited outside.

Cynthia took out the items Moses had bought and selected one to inject into Joshua. Then she waited

there.

After about ten minutes, Joshua’s body temperature gradually turned normal, and he began to regain

consciousness.

Cynthia turned on the signal jammer again and said casually, “Once you wake up, put on your clothes

and leave.”

Joshua was confused and stared at her, surprised by her nonchalant tone.

He thought Cynthia was a heartless woman.

“What are you lying around for?” Cynthia, seeing that he had opened his eyes but had not moved,

reminded him, “You disappeared for over an hour. Grandpa and the others might be looking for you.”

Joshua remained silent. Then, he got up and changed his clothes.

Throughout the entire process, his eyes remained dark

front

Five minutes later, Joshua had finished dressing and tidying himself up and he appeared in front of

Cynthia.

“When you’re done, get out.”

Cynthia approached the bed and messed it up.

“What are you doing?” Joshua was awake now, but his head still felt a bit uncomfortable, and his

thoughts were somewhat sluggish.

“Letting the people behind this think we slept together so that they’ll proceed to the next step,” Cynthia

replied casually and emotionlessly.

As she spoke, she messed up the bed.

After attending to these tasks, Cynthia reopened the items from earlier and removed the towels, damp

tissues, and other items covering the stuff.

In no time, the room was filled with fragrance once again.

This time, Joshua instinctively headed toward the bathroom, subconsciously covering his mouth and

nose with a towel,

Cynthia took her already-dried clothes, inspected the room to ensure everything was in order, and got

dressed. Then, she casually ran her fingers through her hair, opened the door, and walked out.

Joshua looked at the opened door, feeling somewhat in disbelief.

They could finally open the door?

“Hold on,” Joshua called out to her, feeling a pain in the back of his neck.

Cynthia had just stepped outside with one foot when she heard him. Then, she turned to look at him,

asking indifferently, What is it?”

“Did you hit me?” Joshua asked the question that had been on his mind since waking up.

After coming out of the bathroom, he felt a sudden pain in the back of his neck. Before he could even

process what was happening, he passed out.

Cynthia did not see any need to hide it and admitted, “Yes.”

Joshua was speechless.

She had hit him, yet she was so unapologetic about it.

“Don’t tell anyone about what happened today. That person will likely make a move again in a while,”

Cynthia reminded him. as she was leaving.

After saying this, she could not care less about Joshua’s reaction and left without looking back.

Joshua followed her outside. However, he saw Moses standing outside the door just as he was about

to catch up with her,

“What are you doing here?”

“Cynthia called me and asked me to come up.”

Joshua paused, lost in thought.

She called Moses?

In that instant, Joshua suddenly realized something.

Cynthia was completely different from other people. She did not need his protection, and she could

handle everything on her own, organizing her thoughts and considering matters without his help.

During the time he was unconscious, she had taken care of everything.

To her, it made no difference whether he was there or not.

Moses noticed that something was off with Joshua’s mood.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Ask Mom and Dad to keep Cynthia’s dad occupied. It would be best if they could have a

conversation at the manor. I need to talk to Cynthia.” Joshua pushed his emotions aside.

“That might be difficult.”

“Why?”

“Just before I came up, Mr. Yates finished talking with Mom and Dad and was looking for Cynthia.”

Moses’s words brought Joshua back to the harsh reality.
