You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

The next day, the pain in Clarissa’s body was even more pronounced, so much so that she didn’t dare to move a muscle.

Since lying on her belly felt more uncomfortable, she got down from the bed and stood still, which eased the pain slightly.

Ellie came to visit her early in the morning and even brought along some breakfast.

However, she was taken aback upon spying the lunchbox on the coffee table.

“Who brought this for you?”

Just as Clarissa was racking her brain for an answer, Ellie came up with one all on her own.

“Was it your boyfriend? Did he come over? Why didn’t he stay longer? I’m curious about what he looks like. Anyway, did he come here last night?”

Clarissa fumbled for words before squeaking out, “Mm… He did. He has to work today, so he left early. Besides, I’m not that badly injured. There’s no need for him to stay too long.”

“Hmph! That’s not the point. It’s the thought that counts. Anyway, let me tell you, even though I haven’t met this boyfriend of yours, I already don’t have a good impression of him.”

Ellie bluntly announced her standing, not bothering to sugar coat her words.

As for Clarissa, she could only smile wryly because there was nothing she could do.

Later in the morning, two people visited Clarissa in her ward.

It was Donnie and a police officer.

Ellie was puzzled, as she thought the incident last night had already been resolved.

“Ms. Tyson, this officer has a few questions for you. It’s about the girl named Lucy.”

“Lucy?”

Ellie was bewildered.

“Ms. Tyson, how long have you known Lucy?”

“Uh… Less than a month, I think?”

The officer glanced at Donnie, then continued asking Ellie a few questions about Lucy.

Seeing Ellie’s confusion, Donnie walked her through the details after the interrogation was over.
