“Steven?” I called out Steven’s name softly. I was worried that I was mistaken.
Steven’s body visibly stiffened at that moment. His back was facing me. I couldn’t see the
expression on his face, but his silhouette from the back looked dark and intimidating.
He dropped the bat in his hand and turned around to face me. His eyes were wet with tears
as he said, “Stephie… I’m so scared. This man was following me, and he even tried to hit
me…
After saying that, Steven suddenly dropped into a crouch on the ground in a panic. His face.
was stained with the stranger’s blood. His expression looked innocent and pitiful.
My heart skipped a beat at the sight. I told myself that everything I saw just now must have
been my imagination.
The bloody man lying on the floor must have provoked Steven. That was probably what
caused Steven to lose control of himself and retaliate violently.
“Don’t be scared. It’s alright…” I said as I hurriedly ran over to hug him.
The man who had just fallen down the stairs looked shocked. He had an incredulous look
on his face as he stared at Steven. It looked as if he had just seen a monster. The man got
up and tried to run away.
When the nurse couldn’t find Steven, she pushed open the emergency door and saw the
man covered in blood. “What’s going on?”
Steven nced back and shot the bloody man a look. The man began to panic and said, “I fell
down the stairs just now. I injured myself.”
After saying that, the man pushed the nurse aside and ran away.
The nurse did not pay the man much attention. Instead, she looked at Steven and said, ” You need
to get some IV fluids in you. Why’d you run off?”
Steven hugged me and looked at me with aggrieved eyes. “Stephie, I’m not thirsty anymore. I’m
really scared. Please don’t leave me.”
Steven trembled in my arms. I hugged him tighter, feeling guilty. “I’m not going to leave
you. Mr. Bart will be here very soon. I’ll get him to go to the pharmacy instead. I’ll stay with
you.
Steven nodded obediently. “Good. Stephie, you have to stay with me forever. Don’t leave
me ever again.”
I nodded. “I won’t.”
After I managed to coax Steven back to the ward, I went to wash a towel in the bathroom
for him. Just as I wasing out of the bathroom, I heard Steven whispering to the nurse,
He seemed to be in a rather good mood. He was on his best behavior and even smiled at
the nurse. “Miss, you’re so gentle,” he said.
The nurse almost lost herself in his praise. “Who knew a handsome youngd like you would be this
good at ttering women?”
“Could you please tell my wife that I can’t get out of bed because of my wound? Tell her
that she has to take good care of me,” Steven asked in a polite tone.
The nurse was delighted by how sweet of a talker Steven was and nodded earnestly. “No
problem.”
Then, the nurse turned to me and said, “The patient’s wound has just been stitched up. He
shouldn’t get out of bed or move around too much these couple of days.”
I still hadn’t figured out what Steven was up to at this moment.
When Ewan finally dropped by with the glucose solution from the pharmacy, he brought along some
chicken soup and a honeb cake. Steven began to urge him to leave.
quickly.
“Mr. Bart, I think you can head home now,” Steven said.
“Sir, your health is my top priority now,” Ewan said with concern.
Steven replied, “Well, I think family reunions are more important than I am. I don’t want to take up
your personal time with family, Mr. Bart.”
Ewan nced at Steven for a moment and was reminded that his boss didn’t have his real family
with him.
The only reason Steven had be Ignatius‘ confidant was because he was an orphan. Steven
had no family background, no ambition, and no family.
Ewan nced over at me awkwardly and said, “Well, then I suppose I’ll take my leave now. Mrs.
Lincoln, thank you for looking after him.”
Steven nodded obediently. “Good. Stephle, you have to stay with me forever. Don’t leave. me ever
again,”
I nodded. “I won’t.”

Lincoln, thank you for looking after him.”
I nodded. “Of course,”
Just as Ewan reached the door, he seemed to have recalled something.
“Oh, I just remembered. The police sent us a message. They’re saying that Mrs. Lincoln’s killer has
confessed. It was found that Brad Steele, a confidant of Mr. Dax, gave the instructions to the killer.
The killer has been arrested, but he hasn’t mentioned anything about Mr. Lincoln Senior or Mr. Dax.
Steven fell silent for a short while. Then, he said in an innocent tone, “Mr. Bart, can you have
someone help me deal with the weeds in the backyard? I’m worried they’ll stump the flowers from
growing if we don’t have them dealt with soon.”
Ewan sucked in a deep breath at that. “Of course, sir.”
Shortly after Ewan left, Steven looked at me pitifully and said, “Stephie the doctor won’t let me get
out of bed.”
“It’s alright. Just bear with it for now. Stay in bed in the meantime and I’ll get you whatever you
need,” I said.
I still hadn’t sensed what dastardly ns he had up his sleeves.
“Stephie, I need to pee.
I didn’t know how to react. I wondered if it’d be a better idea to let him suffer a full dder.
