Chapter 484: Recovering Well
In the dead of night, Mugden's prison.
Ever since Lloyd met Evelyn and Edward, he had been suffering from insomnia almost every night, constantly replaying Evelyn's words in his mind, dissecting every single word.
The conditions Evelyn offered were too tempting. Even if they were false, he was still moved.
But he hated them too much. It was bad enough that they were a perfect couple, but they were also extremely wealthy and influential. One was a rising star in Mugden's business world, and the other was the talented daughter of the richest man.
Just thinking about it made him furious!
Moreover, in the end, his current predicament was all because of Evelyn and Edward!
So he harbored a simmering anger with no outlet, hoping Tiffany could continue to counterbalance them outside, continue to torment them, and ideally, make them die together!
For several days, Lloyd's time in prison was uncomfortable but uneventful.
But in the past two days, he couldn't shake the feeling that a pair of sinister eyes were watching him from the shadows.
It made his spine tingle, and he couldn't even enjoy his meals.
Tonight, as he lay on his dirty, smelly little bed, he still felt a wave of chills coursing through his body, tossing and turning.
Finally, as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a faint sound, very close to him!
The sound was so light that an ordinary person wouldn't have noticed it without years of mercenary reconnaissance experience!
Just as Lloyd was about to get up, he felt a cold wind stab at his back. He quickly turned over, but it was too late!
The next second, a terrifying and intense pain spread throughout his body!
In the darkness, he saw a man in the same cell thrust a sharpened toothbrush handle into his neck. Lloyd's eyes widened in horror, and he could even hear the sound of blood flowing through his throat.
"Die."
The man said just a word and viciously twisted the toothbrush deeper!
Lloyd was utterly shocked, grabbing the man's arm with both hands. "Who, who are you?"
"I have no grudge against you. I'm just taking money to eliminate a problem for someone."
A name flashed through Lloyd's mind—Tiffany!
After returning from Torontow, Edward didn't rush back to the company to handle daily affairs but obediently stayed home to recuperate as Evelyn had instructed.
Even on several nights when Evelyn was sound asleep, he would sneak into the study to review documents and handle important matters.
It wasn't until dawn that he would tiptoe back to bed like a thief, lie down beside his Evelyn, and gently kiss her from her forehead down, feeling satisfied before falling asleep.
This afternoon, Evelyn took Edward to the Taylor family's hospital, where Paul personally examined him.
When they learned that Edward's body was recovering well and the wounds on his shoulder and back were healing at an astonishing rate, Evelyn jumped up and hugged Edward tightly, burying her face in his neck and giving him a fierce kiss on his warm skin in her excitement.
"That's great, really great!"
Evelyn hadn't realized how wild and seductive her actions were. She was just happy for Edward and eager to express her intense feelings.
She didn't notice the intense emotions swirling in Edward's reddened eyes, shimmering with a glint of desire.
He swallowed hard, staring intently into Evelyn's star-like eyes. "Yes, it's great, Evelyn."
As he spoke, Edward's thin lips moved to her ear, his hot breath swirling around her earlobe. "I've waited so long for this day. If I wait any longer, I might go crazy."
"You."
Reading the flirtatious undertone in his words, Evelyn's heart skipped a beat, her cheeks flushed, and her long lashes trembled.
"Congratulations on your recovery, Mr. Wellington. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll leave the office to you two. Feel free to use it, I'll be on my way!"
Paul, who already had three kids, knew exactly what was going on with young people. If he didn't leave now, it would be a sign of low emotional intelligence.
"Wait! Mr. Martinez, I still have some follow-up questions for you. I'll go with you!"
Evelyn, blushing, tried to pull away from Edward's embrace, but his large, bony hand gripped her waist, making it hard for her to break free.
"Ms. Taylor, you are the White God. I still have many medical questions to ask you! Don't be modest!" Paul said as he walked out, about to close the door.
"Mutual learning, mutual learning! Wait for me!"
Evelyn pushed Edward away with her hands on his chest, looking as startled as a rabbit escaping a tiger's mouth. In the blink of an eye, she and Paul left the office.
Edward watched the closed door, dark fire flickering in his eyes, struggling to contain his desire, and smiled helplessly.
