‘What do you mean by sending these?‘ George gripped his phone with slightly furrowed brows, unable to hide his anxiousness as he waited for a reply.
After a while, the phone vibrated again. ‘Mr. Kins, please don’t be angry. I just don’t know how to deal with these wounds. I’m scared… I don’t dare ask anyone, so I could only come to you!’
George’s tense heart relaxed a bit, and his eyes flickered. Did he get the wrong idea about her? He had thought too ill of the young girl.
Then, he let out a sigh. ‘Go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine for external wounds.‘
‘But… I’m alone, and I’m still scared. Mr. Kins… Will you buy it and bring it to me?”
George stared at the message, still not sure of her intentions. Then, another message appeared on the screen. ‘Forget it, I won’t trouble you. I know it’s my fault. Let’s just treat this as a misunderstanding, and I won’t appear in front of you again in the future, Mr. Kins.‘
George hesitated for a while, and suddenly, the broken and fragile image of Linda appeared in his mind. His heart softened, and he replied, ‘I’ll bring the medicine tomorrow afternoon.’
George felt guilty for misunderstanding his good friend’s daughter after sleeping with her, thinking that she was trying to blackmail him like a vicious woman.
If it were any other woman, George would have sent her away with money long ago.
‘Thank you, Mr. Kins. I know that you’re a good person.‘
George stared at the words “good person” for a few seconds, then quickly deleted their conversation, including the two photos.
The night gradually grew darker.
In Springgate Estates, the last light was extinguished by May, and she pulled her coat tightly around her as she returned to the servant’s quarters to rest.
In the study on the second floor, Jonathan finished dealing with the documents, and the expression on Angela’s face as she tried to deny their relationship popped up in his mind, which caused a sense of unease to rise in his heart.
After sitting quietly for a while, he lightly pursed his lips, turned his wheelchair, and pushed open the door of the room.

Angela lay on her side on the bed. A small wall lamp was shining on the headboard, casting a warm yellow light over her entire face, serene and soft.
As she was still young, she slept messily in bed; the blanket was pulled down to her waist, and the buttons on her nightgown were undone, revealing a patch of pure white skin and a hint of cleavage.
The knot in Jonathan’s throat rolled up and down, and he felt that his mouth and tongue were dry. He pursed his lips and was about to avert his gaze when the person on the bed suddenly whimpered softly in her dreams. Then, she moved her body and continued to sleep.
The depths of Jonathan’s eyes were dark as he pushed the wheelchair to the bedside. Enduring the pain coming from his bones, he transferred himself and lay down in bed.
Face to face with Angel, he smelled the scent of roses on her, a faint fragrance that was intoxicating.
There was a dark, bloodthirsty monster living inside him, imprisoned in a cage.
In fact, he was not as good as he appeared on the surface. He was paranoid and dark, his hands stained with countless sins. Born with guilt, he was not expected and should not have been born at all.
Before Angela appeared, he had never felt any joy in life. After all, countless people around him were waiting for his death, including his father and even his mother.
His only pleasure was to see the expressions of anticipation turning into disappointment on those people’s faces.
Besides his grandfather and grandmother, Angela was the only person who hoped so strongly that he could stay alive.
As time passed, the despicable idea of keeping her close to him became more intense. He didn’t know how much longer he could hold out.
Forcefully, he suppressed his impulses, shifted his body to move closer to her, and silently stared at her.
Their bodies were almost pressed together, like two perfectly fitting pieces of art.
Jonathan took his time to close his eyes. With Angela by his side, falling asleep had become a less challenging task.
A peaceful night passed, and Angela slowly opened her sleepy eyes, only to be met with a

magnified handsome face in front of her. She blinked and closed her eyes again, thinking she was dreaming.
Wait a minute?!
Suddenly, she opened her eyes again. This time, she met a pair of calm, black eyes. The air was silent for a moment until Jonathan spoke first, “Are you awake?”
His voice was as deep and melodious as a cello, with a hint of hoarseness from just waking
Then, the man calmly released the arm that was holding her.
- up.
Momentarily, Angela was enchanted, nodding and saying, “Good morning.”
Realizing the situation, she instinctively reached under the blanket. When she felt the clothes on her body were still intact, she thought in relief that she hadn’t done anything to him.
But that’s not the point! Trying to stay calm, Angela asked, “Why did you… sleep with your arms around me?”
“You don’t remember?” Jonathan casually got up, his expression unchanged. “Do you know that
you have a bad sleeping posture? If I hadn’t stopped you, you’d have ended up falling to the ground. Is half a bed not enough for you to sleep on? Do you want me to sleep on the couch or throw you on it?”
With these words, Angela felt a bit embarrassed. It turned out that Jonathan was worried she would fall to the floor, but was there no other way besides hugging her?
Angela blinked, feeling a bit frustrated. She used to sleep alone very properly.
Jonathan composed himself and sat back in the wheelchair. “Stop dawdling. It’s almost time for class. Finish your breakfast, and I’ll drop you off.”
Angela hesitated and called out to him, “Jonathan…” She told him about not going to school today and the matter of transferring guardianship.
Jonathan immediately said, “Since you’ve decided to transfer guardianship, I’ll have a lawyer draw up a contract and follow the proper procedures to ensure there are no future issues.” After speaking, he didn’t wait for her to say anything else and went straight into the bathroom.
The unpleasantness from last night seemed to suddenly disappear.
After dinner, Logan arrived with a prepared agreement to sever ties and an adoption agreement. Angela read through them and couldn’t help but admire Logan’s professionalism.

She had originally planned to pick up Donald’s family and resolve things face to face, but with these two documents, Donald’s family wouldn’t need to meet with George’s family, with whom they had been estranged for
years.
Angela was about to leave with Logan when she heard that Jonathan wanted to join them. “Jonathan, this is a small matter, and having Logan is enough,” she said, feeling guilty about delaying Jonathan’s work for her own affairs.
Jonathan gave her a deep look. “It’s okay. I’ll wait for you in the car. You can bring Oliver with you.”
Angela replied, “Okay.”
The group soon arrived at Charlotte’s old house. It was exactly 9 a.m., and the three of them waited for more than ten minutes, but no one showed up.
Angela frowned and was about to urge Scarlet when she heard Samuel’s displeased voice outside the door. “Angela is doing this on purpose. Why did she choose this shabby, old place?”
Then, Scarlet and George walked in. Seeing the scene inside the house, the latter furrowed his brow.
Samuel had seen Logan at the police station before, not to mention Oliver, who was the reason his arm was still wrapped in bandages. He glared fiercely at Angela, feeling that she was greedy and shameless. “Did you bring a lawyer with you to make outrageous demands from us before we kick you out?!”
Scarlet heard his youngest son’s words and agreed with him, feeling disappointed and angry. “Angela, don’t think you deserve something you shouldn’t have.”
Angela raised her clear eyes and said softly, “You are mistaken. I don’t want anything from the Kins Family because it brings bad luck!”
