One Night Surprise

Chapter 383 Secret Base

In the Twin Peaks Manor in Melrose City, Elijah was settling Courtney down in the room, letting the doctor in to take a look at her.

“Torture? Alexander’s a freaking maniac! Had I not informed Old Master Duncan about him forbidding Courtney from going out, who knows what would’ve happened today!” Cameron was stomping her feet out of anger in the living room.

Beside her was Gale, who was on pins and needles. “He’s not that kind of guy, Cameron. There must be some kind of misunderstanding.”

“Shut up.” Glaring at him, she rebuked, “Defend him once more and I’ll send you back to where you belong. Hadn’t you seen how Courtney came back? If it weren’t for Elijah, the poor girl would’ve died from that psychopath’s torture!”

Gale scowled. Although he disagreed with her perspective, he couldn’t voice his argument as he was currently in her territory.

Shortly after, the doctor came out of the bedroom. Elijah, who was waiting at the door, inquired, “How is she?”

“She’s fine.” Walking into the living room, the doctor answered, “There’s no physical injury, but she’s very weak right now, and is having a fever, so she’s currently in a deep sleep. Once the fever goes away and she has gotten enough rest, she’ll wake up.”

Elijah and Gale heaved a sigh of relief in unison, a weight seemingly being lifted off their shoulders.

After seeing the doctor out, Cameron went to check on Courtney in the bedroom, leaving the two men awkwardly sitting in the living room.

As Alexander’s friend, Gale felt as if he was in a tight spot, so the best thing for him to do was keep silent the entire time. Though, he couldn’t resist. “What are you going to do?”
