Chapter 281
Kylie ate the cereal silently, which was tasteless to her.
Joel helped bandage Ethan’s hand. He could not bear to see the Hideous redness and swelling, but he did not know how to
comfort Ethan.
He thought of Joseph, that little cute guy. He couldn’t even imagine what great pain Ethan and Kylie would suffer if something happened to Joseph….
Joel didn’t dare to think more about it.
He tried to stop his mind from running wild.
He praised in his heart. Joseph is a lucky guy. Nothing will happen to him.”
After bandaging Ethan’s hand, Joel said, “Go have a smoke.”
Ethan shook his head.
“Being tense all the time isn’t a solution. Just relax for a while. Smoking a cigarette won’t take long,” Joel advised.
Joel couldn’t stand Ethan making things difficult for himself.
With Ethan’s ability, if there were any key clues in the video, he would have found them long ago. It wouldn’t have taken sol long.
He was just forcing himself to focus on something so that his imagination would not run wild,
“Xavier, come and smoke. Before Ethan could agree, Joel called out.
Xavier hurried over.
Kylie glanced at them and remained silent.
She had sat in front of the computer for the entire day and also needed to rest.
It was just that she did not dare to rest, not even for a moment,
Kylie was afraid that once she relaxed, she would think of Joseph and break down.
On the balcony, the three men smoked in silence.
Joel and Xavier had been looking at Ethan.
They intended to speak a few times, yet they didn’t know how to appease Ethan truly.
A lot of big things had happened in the Hayden family.
Ever since Zola’s true identity was found, life in the Hayden family had no longer been peaceful.
Something had happened to Leopold, then Ethan, and now Joseph.
Were good things often delayed as saying went?
“It’s getting late. You guys can go back, Ethan suddenly said.
Joel refused hurriedly. “What are you talking about? We have to be by your side.”
“Although it may not be of much help, we should stay,” Xavier echoed.
“Ethan, we’re best friends. Don’t put up with everything on your own.”
Ethan nodded.
After smoking, he walked back into the living room.
Kylie lay in front of the computer and fell asleep.
Restlessly, she frowned and her body was still trembling slightly.
It was as if she had been in fear all the time.
Ethan found a blanket and draped it over her, afraid that she would catch a cold
He knew that she would wake up easily, and his movements were gentle.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched her body. Kylie suddenly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were filled with fear as she shouted, “Jos!”
“Kylie. Ethan quickly hugged her and coaxed her. “Kylie, I’m Ethin. You’re dreaming.”
“No… Jos.,.” Tears streamed down Kylie’s face.”
She dreamed that Joseph was pushed off the cliff by Stella.
She rushed over to protect him. However, she wasn’t fast enough and could only watch as Joseph fell in front of her, followed by Stella’s presumptuous laughter.
“Kylie, wake up.” Ethan held Kylie’s tear-filled face. Her fear had not dissipated in the slightest, and her eyes were unfocused.
Kylie’s pupils seemed to move when she heard Ethan’s voice,
“Ethan, I just saw Jos fall off the cliff. He was pushed down by Stella…
“It’s impossible!” Ethan told Kylie firmly, “I won’t let Jos be in any danger. I’ll get him out.”
“But…” Kylie’s eyes finally focused.
She looked at Ethan who was standing so close to her and could hot help but cry.
She recalled the scene just now, which was so real…
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here. I’ll protect you and Jos well.” Ethan hugged Kylie tightly.
Kylie leaned against his chest and listened to his strong heartbea
It seemed to calm her down a little.
At that moment, Ethan’s phone suddenly rang.
Kylie’s calmness was gone instantly, and she was like a cat in an emergency.
Ethan hugged her and tried his best to comfort her. He took his phone with one hand and looked at the missed call on his phone…
His heart started to beat irregularly.
Kylie also looked up at the missed call on Ethan’s phone.
Her intuition told her that it was a call from Stella.
Chapter 281
Ethan’s hand was trembling. He tried his best to stop it and picked up the phone.
“Hello. Ethan’s voice e was calm.
It was no different from usual.
If Kylie wasn’t leaning against Ethan’s chest, she wouldn
have noticed his nervousness.
His heart was throbbing as if it was going to j
jump out of his chest the next second.
“You’re always so smart. Stella’s familiar voice came from the other end of the line.
It also carried a hint of smugness.
“Where’s Joseph?” Ethan cut straight to the chase.
“He’s asleep, Stella replied nonchalantly. “It’s been a long journey today, and He’s still young. He couldn’t take the strain and fell asleep quickly
“What did you do to him?” Ethan’s grip on the phone tightened unconsciously.
What can I do to him? I treat him like my own son. I’ve been good to him wholeheartedly since he was born. What do you think I’ll do to him?”
“What do you want?” Ethan did not want to waste time on Stella,
He knew that Stella was enjoying the pleasure of torturing him.
“What else do you think I want now? Ethan, I love you so much, but I didn’t expect you to scheme against me and my family. Don’t you feel guilty?” Stella became a little agitated.
“If your family hadn’t made me a scapegoat, I wouldn’t have been that cruel. I was just protecting myself.”
“Ethan, it’s enough for you to fool the judge. Do you think you can fool me? I’ve been by your side for so many years, know what kind of person you are. Is it funny to play games with my bodyguard today?” Stella said sarcastically.
Ethan’s face was extremely cold.
If Stella was in front of him, he might have killed her.
Even if he had to pay with his life, he didn’t care.
“You did that for Kylic. You did that because you didn’t want to marry me! You knew that with the power of my family nothing would be made public. So what if we pinned the blame on you? Would something that could never be found threat to you? Ethan, I hate you! I hate you forever!”
and I’
“Then just seek revenge on me!” Ethan enunciated each word. “Where are you? I can go to you and let you vent your anger
on me.”
