Chapter 735
Cathy’s entire body went cold when she heard that.
However, the man walked past her without even turning back. His broad shoulders bumped into her frail ones and the impact caused Cathy to shudder.
However, she did not fall because the bodyguard by the door had come in to bring her away.
In the humid and dark basement, Cathy’s right wrist was tied to a heavy chain. There were wounds of different sizes on her body under her thin shirt.
Her face was pale as she leaned against the icy wall while breathing lightly. She touched her flat stomach with her trembling and bloody fingers.
When she felt the faint warmth there, a small smile appeared on Cathy’s face.
Clank. The metal door of the basement was opened.
A ray of light came into the room, and Cathy looked up to see a man in a white shirt walking over. He had his back against the light, looking so gentle. Plus, he even had a hint of boyishness to him. All of these combined made her recall the memory by the beach.
“Feli…” When she said those syllables, she hurried up and added the last one. “-pe…”
She did not even have the right to call him by his name. To everyone, she was just a sister that he took in.
Felipe walked in front of Cathy and towered over her like an emperor.
Felipe reached out his hand to pinch her chin when he saw her shaking from the cold.
“I’ll let this go for the sake of our relationship. But if you don’t carry out my orders properly next time, you can just get out of here.”
“No…”
Cathy begged weakly and grabbed Felipe’s sleeve.
He furrowed his brows. Then, he flung his hand and walked away.
Cathy sat on the floor lifelessly and clutched her stomach which was starting to hurt. She did not have any energy to scream in pain, nor could she make Felipe turn around to look at her. She could only watch as the tall and slender figure became blurrier and blurrier in front of her.
Montgomery Manor.
Madeline and Jackson were playing with Jackson’s new DIY toys when the maid told her that Felipe was here.
He was back after less than two days.
Madeline remembered clearly Felipe telling her he had something urgent to take care of, but now, he was back.
As she thought about it, there was a hint of calmness in her eyes. After informing Eloise, she walked to the door.
