A Miracle Fault

Emmeline actually still stayed awake. But she still felt bad. Though it was her own choice and she would still insist no matter how hard it was, she felt quite aggrieved because of the humiliation today.

"What? You felt upset because I didn't kiss you? You are going to starve yourself because of that?" Stefan stared at the only thing exposed out of the quilt—her hairs, looking sullen.

When hearing that, Emmeline was rendered madder. She lifted the quilt and sat up straight to glare at him, "Stefan Byrne! Please pay me respect! I am here to take care of you instead of being humiliated! Nobody wants your kiss!"

Tears surged up in her eyes. She had been here for more than twenty days. But it was her first time to shout at him.

Stefan even smiled when seeing that, "Respect? What? I didn't pay you respect because I didn't kiss you? Since you don't care about my kiss, why do you starve yourself?"

Stefan even lit up a cigarette in her bedroom.

"I am not hungry! Besides, Stefan Byrne, don't smoke for the sake of your legs!"

Stefan was still wearing a wry smile while looking at her, who was sitting on the bed, "Are you caring about me?"

Madison pushed the door opened and served her warm food, "Mrs. Stefan, please take some food. I have got you some warm food."

Emmeline kept her head down, "No, thanks. I am not hungry."

"But…"

"Just put it here." Stefan said.

"Yes, sir." Then Madison left after putting down the food.

Emmeline still stared at the quilt with her head down. But she noticed out of the corner of her eyes that Stefan approached with his wheelchair while holding the food.

"Take it."

Emmeline glared at him, "Just put it down! I can eat myself!"

Stefan handed the food to her, having no intention to put it down unless she took it with her own hands.

"Are you going to eat yourself? Or do you want me to feed you?"

Emmeline immediately took the food and started to eat it while he was about to lose temper.

When seeing that she finished half of the food, Stefan went out of the bedroom. Then he returned to his room and closed the door.

He stood up from the wheelchair and walked to the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror.

He had no idea what was going on with himself. He was so incredibly patient to her.

Though he knew that she was Frank's girlfriend and he himself was a neat freak, he actually hugged her and almost kissed her.

Though he did it on purpose so as to humiliate her, he still had an urge to kiss her at that moment.

He was even wondering if he was out of mind. Perhaps it was because he was driven by desire as he had been abstinent for years. However, he still thought it impossible to be aroused by Frank's woman.

He turned on the shower head and stripped himself off. He walked beneath it and let the warm water flush his body from head to toe.

After finishing dinner, Emmeline put away the empty plate in the kitchen. Then she went to Stefan's bedroom to see if he had gone to bed. She still planned to massage his legs before sleep.

She learned from the book that massage before sleep would be conducive to his rehabilitation. When she was about to push the door of his bedroom, she flinched back as it was late. So she returned to her own room and lay on the bed.

She turned on her phone, which had been powered off for these days. Suddenly, she got hundreds of message notices, most of which were sent by Antonio, Agnes and Lena. Besides, there were two of them sent by her father and also a call from Anayah.
