“Mrs. Russell, call me if M. Russell needs anything, Samuel said, closing the door.

“Theodore said, “Lie, stop crying” When he tried to wipe her tears with difficulty, Elans grabbed his hand and buried her face in it

Feeling the wetness in his palm, Theodore was both worried and selfishly glad these tears were for him. “Don’t worry, I won’t leave you a widow, he

said

Eliana looked up and glared at him. “How can you joke at a time like this?”

Theodore smiled, patted the space beside him, and said hoarsely, “Mrs. Russell, lie with me for a while, plone?”

Seeing him almost plead, she lay d

who tried to kill you?”

“No,” Theodore bed. He knew Anthony was behind it, but telling Elian might put her in danger–better to keep her in the dark for now

Elana felt depressed at his answer.

As time passed, though loath to part, Theodore said, “Mrs. Russell, you should go back”

I’m not leaving–I’ll stay and take care of you,” she refused.

He was happy but urged seriously, “If you don’t go back, the Russel will get suspicious.”

Holding up the bag, she tried to look calm. Yes, finally found some after checking several supermarkets.”

Anthony sniffed around her. “Where did you get this blood smell?” He thought, is that Theodore’s blood?”

“Alice has fallen asleep already” Anthony at back, miting. “I’m hungry fou, Can I have some of what you made for Theodore?

Elana frowned, She had no mood to cook. Her excuses were to send him away, but now he wanted her food

Seeing her impatience, he said, “Also, I need to talk to Theodore.”

His friendly act left her no choice but to nod and resume handling the crab in the sink

After half an hour, the aroma filled the air, Checking the time, Anthony said meaningfully, it’s 1 AM

Eliana bit her lip, then placed a fried crab leg in front of him, “Mr. Anthony Russell, enjoy. It’s late–I’ll go rest.”

“It’s very late, indeed.” His gaze moved from the crab to her face. “Tell you what–call Theodore for me. I’ll speak to him on the phone.”

“Can’t it wait until morning?” she asked.

He sighed. “It’s truly urgent.”
