With a clear sound, the phone slipped down from Kylie's hand to the floor.

"Ethan, h-how did you..." Kylie raised a smile, looking at the tall, strong man standing by the door.

​​

She remembered that she just locked the door. How did Ethan get in? She wanted to ask him how he managed to break in the locked door, yet her thought was in a mess.

How much had he heard about her talk with Tory on the phone?

What should she say now?

"What? Shouldn't I get in right now?" Ethan moved a step forward to the front of Kylie. "Should I read documents in the study right now? Should I be asleep now?"

"No matter what I'm doing now, I shouldn't have found out that you slipped out, right?"

"No." Kylie stepped backward in a panic. "I-I-I, it's Faith!"

Kylie smiled and held Ethan's hand. "Faith wanted to meet me. She doesn't live a good life now, so I..."

Ethan drew his hand back and picked Kylie's phone up.

Kylie almost dashed to grab it away.

However, when she just moved, Ethan raised his arm up high.

He read her call records, but the phone number Kylie just dialed turned out to be a line of asterisks.

Ethan stared at her in silence.

Kylie got nervous, and the smile froze on her face. She thought to herself that Ethan didn't know Faith's phone number anyway.

"Faith?" Ethan opened his mouth.

"Y-Yeah." Kylie did her best to calm herself down, but her heart was in her throat now.

She watched Ethan pressing the button to call back.

"Beep, beep..."

Kylie clenched her hands into fists, praying to God for help.

The next second, a female voice sounded from the phone, and Kylie almost collapsed to the bed in fear.

"Sorry, the number you dialed can not be connected for the moment. Please redial later. Sorry, ..."

There was a layer of sweat on Kylie's back, and she put on an embarrassed smile.

"Well, I guess the signals are a little weak there. I'll call her again later."

Ethan hung up the call and squeezed her phone in his big palm. He looked mad, fixing his eyes at Kylie's face.

"Go to bed. It's very late." Ethan left the phone on the table and walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing him walking away, Kylie felt like crying.

She just wanted to find a good doctor to treat Ethan, but it didn't go well as she hoped. No matter how suspicious he was of her, she couldn't tell him the fact that he was about to die.

The door of the bedroom was closed tight.

Kylie sank down to the bed. She covered her head in the quilt, then cried out.

Ethan couldn't die!

She wouldn't allow him to die!

Ethan, instead, stood still for a long while outside the door. He knew she's upset and cried, but he can't tell him the truth right now. He still hasn't figured out how his body suddenly deteriorated, and even his inner wolf-vampire form was suppressed from inside.

Kylie just lied to his face, but he can't argue with his wife since he himself has a dark secret.

She had Faith's phone number in her phone, but the number she just dialed was connected to an anti-tracking system.

Vincent just showed him the surveillance video of her.

Ethan was upset, but he still chose to trust her.

He believed that his woman would never betray him!

Nate looked upstairs, then sighed, "Vincent, what does Kylie want to do?"

"Is she a covered agent sent by Stephen to Ethan's side?" Vincent said in a low voice. "Ouch!"

Nate hit the back of Vincent's head. "Are you insane?"

"Then how do you explain it?" Vincent rubbed his head and felt a little embarrassed because Nate did that right in front of his sidekicks.

"I think she's doing something for Tory," Nate said with certainty.

Hearing that, Vincent's sidekicks turned their heads to another side with one accord. It was a ridiculous conclusion in their eyes.

When they heard footsteps on the stairs, everyone sat up straight with a serious look.

Ethan was coming.

"It's very late now. Go back to have a rest." He glanced around them, who looked surprised.

Nate stood up at first. "Ethan, have a good rest. See you then."

After that, he gave Vincent a knowing eye, and Vincent said in a hurry, "Oh, right, Lord Ethan, we should leave now, and we'll report the latest news to you if there is any."

Once they walked out of the Finch family's house, Nate pulled Vincent. "Follow me to a place."

"Where?" Vincent asked.

"To find Faith." Nate wore a cunning smile. "If Kylie is a covered agent by Ethan's side, we can also set a spy by her side."

"Will it work?" Vincent drove the car in person.

"Let's see!" Nate seemed confident.

When the sound of the car engines outside was gone, the villa was quiet again. Kylie washed her face and sat on the bed, waiting for Ethan to have a serious talk with her.

However, Ethan was still absent after she had waited for a long time.

Kylie couldn't wait any longer at 1 am, and searched for Ethan one room after another until she met the housekeeper at the door of the study. "Where is Ethan?"

"Mr. Parker is changing his dressing inside," the housekeeper replied.

"I need to see him." Kylie walked ahead, but the housekeeper stopped her.

"Mrs. Parker, Mr. Parker said he needed quietness for a while."

"I promise I won't say a word. I just want to keep his company," Kylie said at once.

The housekeeper glanced at Kylie, then lowered his head in silence.

Kylie understood it. "He doesn't want to see me, right?"

The housekeeper remained silent.

"Great, I can wait right here." Kylie sat cross-legged on the floor. The housekeeper glanced at her but didn't know what to say. He pushed the door and walked inside, then gently closed it.

Ethan sat on the sofa, gasping for breath while he was in his wolf form, "Is she gone?"

"Nope." The housekeeper wiped Ethan's face with a warm, clean towel. "Mrs. Parker is sitting on the floor now, and..."

Ethan interrupted him. " I'll be back soon." he disappeared in split seconds without giving the housekeeper any information. He went out using his invisible power to look for Stephen.

"He was gone again," The housekeeper didn't dare say another word and went outside. Kylie, still there, sat in silence.

***

After almost two hours, he appeared back in the study room, failed to find a hint about Stephen. He called the housekeeper to pick up his doctor. The doctor was shocked when Ethan's housekeeper showed up out of the blue to pick him up—arriving at the Finch family house; he saw Kylie silently sitting by the door in the study room. He wanted to ask her, but the housekeeper told him to hurry. They went inside and left Kylie alone. Once he got in, he quickly did his task, changed the medicine once the previous one was done, and measured Ethan's temperature. After that, he would step backward to a corner.

It was already daybreak when Ethan finished the infusion of three bottles.

The second the housekeeper opened the door to walk the doctor out, he saw Kylie leaning on the wall in sleep.

He pressed his lips, then slightly raised his voice. "Please, this way."

Kylie moved her eyelids but didn't open her eyes. She didn't get back to her feet until she was sure both the housekeeper and the doctor were gone.

"Oh, my legs." Her legs were numb now, and she had to move inside by supporting herself on the wall.

Ethan was still in his sleep, lying on the sofa.

Kylie touched his beautiful features with a smile on her lips. "Trust me, and you'll get better and better."

Her cold fingers fell on his chapped lips, then turned to have a mouthful of water to feed it to Ethan.

She moved near to Ethan. In case the water flew out from his mouth, she gently raised his jaw up.

All of a sudden, she found Ethan staring at her!
