Chapter 5 Lie

Euralia shook her head. Seeing her brother didn't believe her at all, she couldn't help being anxious. "Brother, please believe me. It's not a dream. It's true!"

"Who is that man?"

"No, I don't know him." Euralia was taken aback

"What does he look like?"

"I don't know. He is wearing a mask." After saying that, she lowered her head in frustration.

Bill sighed and said, "Euralia, those are not true. You just had a nightmare."

"So, promise me to forget about it, okay?"

Raising her head in a daze, she heard Bill's gentle voice with a kind of bewitching power. She almost believed that everything happened last night was just a nightmare.

However, every sentence, every look in his eyes and every action of the man wearing a mask last night seemed to be deeply rooted in her mind.

How could it be a dream?

Bill's voice was even softer. He gently held her in his arms and patted her on the shoulder: "you probably had a cold last night, so you had a high fever that night. Now you are still very weak. Don't think too much."

She was in low spirits and didn't know what to say.

"Come and eat something first."

With these words, Zoe picked up a bowl of porridge from the bedside, tested the temperature, and said, "it has been cold for a while, and its temperature is just right. Eat it while it is hot."

With Zoe's persuasion, Euralia opened her mouth numbly and ate up the porridge in her bowl bit by bit.

Her empty stomach finally started to warm up. It seemed that she had recovered a lot. The scenes of last night started to come back to her mind.

It seemed that Bill saw through Euralia's absent mindedness. After tidying up the bowls and chopsticks for her, he comforted her for a while and was about to leave.

"Bill..." She called his name with hesitation.

"What's wrong?" Bill turned to look at her.

"I'm fine. I don't feel well." said Euralia, shaking her head

She looked down at her own clothes, which was not the one she wore last night, and asked, "who changed my clothes?"

Bill grinned. Half of his body was concealed in the shadow. "You had a high fever yesterday, and your clothes were soaked in cold sweat. So I asked Terri Chen to help you change your clothes."

Euralia nodded with hesitation.

"Have a rest first. When the wound is completely healed, I will come to take out the needle for you." After saying that, he went out with the bowl in his hand.

After he left, rose took her hand out of the quilt, and there was a red handprint on her slender white wrist.

She stared at the trail for a long time, lost in thought.

She didn't completely believe what Zoe said.

Because what happened last night was too memorable for her. It was not like a dream at all.

But why did Bill lie to her?

The morning sunlight fell on a corner of the house through the gap of the curtains, making shadows flickering.

It suddenly occurred to Carlos that today was supposed to be her wedding!

She felt sad again when this idea popped into her mind. Would he be disappointed if John found out that she didn't attend the wedding?

At the thought of this, the back of his hand suddenly felt a sharp pain. He looked up and found the bottle with medicine was empty.

"Devin!" She called out.
