A Miracle Fault

Chapter 18 Pet

Even Jaiden and Asher deemed him impotent. Or it was because he still couldn't get himself rid of the shadow of the accident nine years ago.

But now, he seemed to change thoroughly. He couldn't help but swallow when seeing her rosy lips.

He immediately put on the new pajamas for her. Then he tucked her in and walked out of the bedroom.

After a while, he returned to check her again. Emmeline was still sleeping soundly. Finally, he returned to his own bedroom and lay on the bed.

But her fair naked body still popped out in his mind. He didn't fall asleep until sunrise.

Emmeline suddenly woke up from a series of nightmares in the next morning. But it was 10:00 AM already.

The curtain was opened by the servant. The sunlight came straight inside from the window. Waves sounded as they hit the rocks on shore.

Emmeline turned around. But she felt a bang of pain still and also dizzy. At this moment, Madison pushed the door opened and entered.

"Mrs. Stefan, good morning. You got wounded because of Pes and you had a fever last night. It was Master Stefan who had been taking care of you last night." Madison walked over with a smile.

"Are you hungry? I cooked some porridge for you. After breakfast, the doctor will come to get you some ointment on the wounds."

Not until then did Emmeline finally remember that she almost became the prey of the wolf she encountered in the forest last night.

Then someone came to hold her up. But she couldn't remember what was happening after that.

"Madison, who saved me last night? I almost got hunted by a wolf." When recalling what happened last night, she couldn't help sweating out of fear.

"It was Paul who saved you. The wolf is a pet of Master Stefan, whom he got from America. He is actually a nice pet. He hurt you because he didn't know you."

'A pet? What a freak! He actually keeps a wolf as his pet? And he thinks that animal a nice pet? I almost got killed by that wolf!' Emmeline sat up and complained in her mind.

She was wearing neat pajamas and her wounds had been bandaged. But she still felt dizzy.

She put on a coat. Then Madison served her a bowl of porridge, "Mrs. Stefan, please take some food. The doctor will be here soon."

"Thank you, Madison." Emmeline was really starved when seeing the porridge. She ate nothing last night. Now she felt deadly hungry.

"Madison, why does he keep a wolf as his pet? He should know that a wolf always appears to be fierce, right?" She still couldn't believe that she almost got killed by a wolf because she got lost.

"Well…Master Stefan keeps this wolf for a certain reason. There were once enemies attacking the island. However, Master Stefan almost got killed because he can't walk. Ever since he kept Pes on the island, Paul would release him to attack any enemies breaking in. And those bad guys were then scared. Since then, there was no enemy attacking Master Stefan."

While speaking, Madison looked at her, "Mrs. Stefan, actually, Master Stefan is a nice one. You will definitely live a happy life with him. He has never done harm to others even though he was once attacked."

After finishing the porridge, Emmeline wiped her mouth, "Thank you, Madison. And please express my gratitude to Paul for saving me last night."

Of course, she herself had never expected to live a happy life in the future.

She was really frightened when facing this bad-tempered guy. She was really afraid if he would kill her when he noticed that she was actually not Anayah. Or perhaps he might feed the wolf with her flesh as retaliation.

Madison took the empty bowls and walked out. Soon, the doctor arrived. It was an old man in his fifties. After applying ointment on her wound, he told her to take medicine on time and then left.

Emmeline still stayed in the bedroom. She lay on the bed and happened to recall what Madison just told her.

"It was Master Stefan who had been taking care of you last night."

'Really? Did he?'

She still remembered that someone hugged her and gave her warmth last night. She was stunned, 'No way! Was it Stefan Byrne?'

'Impossible! He hates me so much! How could he hug me! He even told me to stay away from him yesterday!'

'Since he knew that Anayah was Frank's girlfriend, why did he try so hard to get her? And he said Anayah was dirty!'

At the thought of that, Emmeline smiled bitterly. Of course, she could stay away from him. However, when she thought of his disabled legs, she was still sympathetic to him.

'What if he could stand up again? Perhaps he would be less hostile against the world.'

While wondering, the door was opened.

Stefan, who was wearing neat suit while sitting on the wheelchair, slowly came over to the bedside. His eyes still fixed on her.

Then he said, "Are you feeling better?"

"Yes. Thanks for your care last night." Emmeline sat up straight and looked at him.

Stefan approached even closer on his wheelchair and reached out his hand to touch her forehead. Emmeline was rendered stunned.

She raised her eyes to look at his big hand falling on her forehead. Her heart seemed to skip a beat.

"Well, it seems that you have recovered from fever." He then went backward, "Don't get into the forest again. And just keep reading. I need you to massage my legs in the following days." His dark eyes were still fixed on her.

Emmeline raised her eyes to look at his whirlpool-liked eyes. It seemed that they were about to suck her in.

But she still remembered that he told her to stay away from him yesterday. But why did he change his mind and require her to continue to give him a massage?

She was stunned and was about to say something.

When seeing that, Stefan kept his lips pressed, sullen, "What? You don't want to?"

"Yes! I am willing to continue!"

For her, she had been used to his weird temper. She could do everything as long as he wouldn't be mad.

Stefan looked at her and then slid out of the bedroom.

Emmeline had been resting for the following days. She did nothing else but to eat, sleep and read.

She almost recovered thoroughly during these days. She put down the book and stood on the balcony to stare at the sea.

She had been here for about twenty days. But her dad didn't come to see her. Nor did Stefan tell her that he would take her home for a visit.

Though she didn't love that home, she still missed her dad as she grew up there.

She kept her phone powered off. And she didn't even dare to turn it on again. She was afraid that Antonio would keep looking for her. She was also afraid that both Lena and Agnes would do the same thing.

But that was the best choice for her at this moment. Perhaps Antonio would leave for America three months later. When he settled down and lived a new life, he would gradually forget about her.

It was the first time in her life that she had met the one who would be willing to be with her forever. However, she just left him without saying goodbye.

At the thought of that, she felt so sad that she kept shedding tears.

She leaned against the balustrade. The wind ruffled her hairs.

She looked lonely and upset.

"What are you thinking about?" A deep voice sounded from behind. And Emmeline soon collected herself. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

She turned around and saw Stefan sitting on the wheelchair as usual, who fixed his eyes on her.

His dark and mysterious eyes were shining like stars in the night sky, which were deadly appealing to all.

His face was so perfect that it seemed to be the only masterpiece of the God.

Though he was sitting on the wheelchair, he looked like sitting on a throne.

Emmeline looked at him blankly. She was wondering if he stood up again, he would be the most dangerous man to all women in the world.

"Nothing…Stefan…I have recovered. So today I can massage you again." She walked over and pushed him out.

Stefan remained silent as she was getting closer to him.

He even started to be confused about himself. He didn't hate her for getting so close as if he had forgotten that she was Anayah Campbell, the girlfriend of Frank.
