As she turned over, her delicate lips were revealed. They were slightly open, from which a light snoring sound escaped. Her crimson lips were inviting, and Edwin casually took two steps forward. Joanne's body was emitting a faint medicinal fragrance, and Edwin's fingers brushed her long fine hair.

He repeated his motion.

He avariciously stared at her sleeping face, trying to smooth the folds between her eyebrows.

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch her cheek, Joanne's phone suddenly rang on the bedside table.

Edwin's first thought was to reject the call. He didn't want her to be disturbed at such a late hour.

But Joanne didn't sleep too deeply. When the phone rang, she was awakened.

In the dark night, she suddenly saw a robust figure at the head of the bed. Her face paled, and she subconsciously tried to call out to the nurse.

"Relax, it's me." Edwin turned on the bed lamp.

The warm light lit up, and the ward was instantly bright. Joanne made out the man standing in the room, but her

face turned paler. She had locked the door. How did he get in?

As if reading her mind, Edwin straightened up and explained calmly, "The door lock is busted. I didn't want you to have any bad dreams in the middle of the night, so I came in to keep you company." "You are my worst nightmare. Get out," Joanne shouted, pointing to the door.nvëlx.o

She reached for the phone, feeling very anxious.

The ringtone indicated that Tail was calling.

Considering the time difference, it should be nighttime in Mourpa. Tail must have missed her before bedtime, and she couldn't let Edwin hear their conversation.

Edwin sensed Joanne's eagerness to answer the phone.

It was annoying to receive a phone call in the middle of the night. Why was she so anxious about it?

With a hint of curiosity in his mind, Edwin stretched out his long arm and took the phone from the table. The sight of the caller ID made him frown. "Deary?" Baby?

Could it be Patrick?

But wasn't he already engaged to the daughter of the Brown family?

"What are you doing? Give me back my phone!" Joanne saw him grab the phone, and her heart almost leaped out of her

chest.

She knew Tail well. The first thing the girl would say was Mama.

If she did that, things would be exposed.

Edwin held the phone high so that Joanne couldn't reach it. He arched his brow and said, "Let me stay with you tonight, and I'll give you back your phone."

"Why should I?" Joanne glared at the despicable man and said, "The phone is mine, and you're stealing it! Give it back to me, now!"

"I'll count to three. If you don't answer me, I'll take it as your consent for me to stay." His seductive voice, laden with an air of unpredictable danger, seemed to reverberate through the night. Joanne clenched her fists, trying to remain calm.

The phone kept on ringing.

After a hang-up, it rang again.

She had once told Tail that if she didn't answer the call, perhaps she hadn't heard it, and Tail could try calling again. But this time, it had become a perilous charm, and the man's warning echoed ominously in her ears.

"One, two..."
