This smells the same as the shower gel

I got on my hands in the shower room.

Why can I smell the scent of Sonia‘s

shower gel here, though? Unless, that shower gel is not hers to begin with. Before wewent out, it was Tina who used this bathroom, which means that theowner of the shower gel caused Sonia to slip.

While grabbing the bathrobe in his hand tightly, Toby fixed his cold eyes on a bottle of shower gel in thetoilet

cabinet. The bottle was transparent, so

he could clearly see that there was less

than half of the shower gel left inside.

As for where the other half had gone,

the answer was obvious.

With a terrifying expression, he threw

aside the bathrobe in his hand and walked out of the bathroom.

Outside in the living room, Tina was

sitting on the couch and talking to Jean on the phone. When she heard his footsteps, she lifted her eyesand saw the man’s cold face. Immediately, she felt a thump inside her heart, but she still managed toforce a smile on her face. “Toby, you are done

showering?”

Why is he staring at me with such terrifying eyes?

“Tina, why aren’t you saying anything?”

After calming herself down, Tina smiled and replied, “Madam White, it’s getting late. You need to getsome rest, so we’ll just have to stop here for now. See you next time!”

Then, Tina hung up and put the phone back onto the coffee table. As she got

up and approached Toby, she could feel his eyes getting more and more terrifying the more she gotcloser to him.

Deep down, she felt worried but she still remained calm on the surface.

Toby, what’s wrong? Are you in a bad

mood?” She went up to him and tried to lean against his chest.

With his head down, Toby glanced at her before taking a step back.

Therefore, she stumbled and almost fell to the floor, so she looked at him in

shock. “Toby,”

“Was it you who caused Sonia to fall in

the shower room?” He cut off her

words while his expression grew

colder.

Immediately, Tina’s eyes narrowed but

she didn’t have time to wonder how he

ended up suspecting her, so she kept

on shaking her head. “Of course not!

Toby, do you really think I would do such a thing?”

She looked as though she couldn’t accept his misunderstanding and her face was filled withdissatisfaction and

anger.

Initially, she thought that by doing so, Toby would coax her as usual to

prevent her from getting angry.

This time, however, the man did nothing as he stood there and stared at her. Not only were his eyes fullof disappointment, there was also a surge of complex emotions that no one could understand.

“You still won’t admit to it? Do you

really think I’m suspecting you out of the blue? If I didn’t have any definite evidence, I wouldn’t ask youthis

question.”

Definite evidence? Tina’s expression instantly changed since she knew that he wouldn’t lie toher. Looks like he

actually has evidence.

She panicked and her eyes were filled with fear. “Toby, 1-”

Again, he cut off her words. “The thing

that caused Sonia to slip was the large

pool of shower gel on the floor, and

that shower gel has the same scent as

yours. All of your shower gels are

718 custom-made, which means there can’t be another one in the world with the

same scent. Also, when you came

here, all of the items you bought with

you were new and unopened but for some reason, half of your shower gel has been used. This evidenceis

enough to prove that it was you who did it.” After that, he looked at her as if he was looking at a strangerand asked the question that he always had inside his heart. “Tina, are you really that kind

and innocent girl who wrote all those

letters to me back then?”

The moment she heard his question,

her body froze while her hands and

feet became cold. What should I do? He is starting to suspect my identity! This

won‘t do. I must quickly dispel his suspicions; otherwise, it‘ll be all over for

1. me.

As the light in her eyes flicked, she suddenly bit her lips and cried. “I’m sorry, Toby. I was wrong. I’msorry!”

She then started coughing, so much so that her face turned red and her body trembled slightly, as if shewas about

to pass out at any time.

Seeing how feeble she looked, Toby felt his heart go soft, so he patted her

back to help regulate her breathing.

“I’m not the one you should apologize

to.”

“Yes, I’ll apologize to Miss Reed tomorrow.” She grabbed his arm and shook it like a spoiled child. “Toby,can you please forgive me?”

He didn’t say that he forgave her but at the same time, he didn’t withdraw his arm and he pinched thespace between his eyebrows. “I want to know why you did it. Have you ever thought that you

might kill someone doing this?”

“I didn’t think that much.” Tina

murmured with her head lowered. “I did

it because I was scared that you have

been with Miss Reed for six years. I

was afraid that you still have feelings for her and she’ll snatch you away, so I

‘acted impulsively. I regretted it

afterward but I didn’t dare to say anything because I was scared that you would blame me.”

“Don’t be silly. I only have you in my heart. It’s impossible for Sonia and I to be together.” Toby couldn’thelp but feel a little guilty because the reason Tina did such a thing was because he didn’t give her anysense of security, so he hugged her and kissed her head.

“Listen to me-from now on, you must

stop doing this, understand?”

“Yes.” While leaning on his chest, Tina felt that his attitude had softened, and she heaved a sigh of relief,knowing

that she had dispelled his suspicions.

12/18 After that, she seemed to think of

something, so she lowered her eyes and asked with concern “Toby, do you think Miss Reed will call thepolice to arrest me when I apologize to her

tomorrow?”

He rubbed her head and said, “It’ll be

fine. I’ll take care of it.”

“Thank you, Toby.” Smiling, she stood up on her tiptoes and tried to give him a kiss on the lips.

However, he furrowed his brows and

instinctively turned his face away.

In the end, her kiss landed on nothing, causing her expression to freeze, but

she pretended that nothing had

happened and kissed his cheek.

Meanwhile, the doctor was treating

Sonia

While clenching his fists, Charles kept on walking around non-stop until the

doctor finally took off his gloves. “Doctor, how’s baby… How’s Sonia’s condition?”

“She isn’t in danger at the moment. She only has a mild concussion. I’ve also re-disinfected andbandaged her wound, but it’s better if you bring her to the hospital for a more detailed inspection to see ifthere is any blood clot in her head,” the doctor explained.

“Alright. I’ll take her there tomorrow.”

Charles nodded.

After sending the doctor away, he sat down next to the bed and stared at the

unconscious woman in relief. “Luckily you are fine; otherwise, Carl will kill me

a thousand times over. He may even

turn evil and destroy the world.”

When he thought about Carl’s true looks, he couldn’t help but tremble in fear. In the end, he fell asleepon the

side of the bed.

When Sonia finally woke up, it was

already the next morning.

After blinking, she wanted to get up but as soon as she moved her body slightly, an intense pain wasimmediately felt coming from her head. The pain was enough to turn her face pale as she fell back onthe bed but at the same time, images of her memory flashed through her mind.

She remembered that she fell down and knocked her head when she came out of the shower roomyesterday.

She moaned in pain, waking up

Charles, who was sleeping on the side of the bed. Then, he sat straight and looked at her with his sleepyeyes. “Baby, are you finally awake?”

Her lips twitched and she asked, “Have you been watching over me all night?”

“Yes.” He casually tidied up his messy

hair and smiled. “What do you think,

Baby? I treat you quite well, right? Are

you going to consider turning me from

a fake boyfriend to your real one?”

She rolled her eyes at him. “In your

The thought of my best friend turning into my lover is really disgusting.

“As expected, all women are cruel!” he muttered as he stared at her gloomily.

She couldn’t help but kick him and said, “Alright. Be serious!”

Immediately, he stopped messing

around and he put on a serious

expression. “Baby, how did you fall down yesterday?”

Sonia pursed her pale lips and said, “I

did fall down by myself, but I feel like things weren’t as simple as they looked.”

“Do you suspect something, baby?” Charles asked as he looked at her.

She nodded. “I fell because I stepped on something slippery as I came out from the stall. When I wason the floor, I smelled something fragrant, like body wash.”

“Why would there be body wash in

front of your stall?” His eyes widened

in astonishment

“I have no clue either.”
