CHAPTER 490
Persis flinched. “That… didn’t sound good.”“Yes, the gate is a bit rusted, and she had no idea,” Tedmond muttered. “Let’s move.”He slipped inside first, gently pulling her in after him before closing the door behind them. The darkness inside the building was even heavier, like the shadows themselves were pressing down.Tedmond straightened and scanned the building.It was empty. And there was no sound of anything.The air felt wrong, so cold and still.He stepped forward, checking each side room as he passed. But there was nothing there, no sign that Kyle had been there to begin with.It was more like he had just asked them to come there and was playing hide-and-seek instead of actually waiting for them in a place where they could find him.“Tedmond… maybe we should go to the main building. Kyle wouldn’t be in this block,” Persis said.“Yeah,” he murmured. “Let’s head there.”They made their way toward the school building, slipping outside again and following the narrow path between
CHAPTER 489
Tedmond still couldn’t guess why Kyle had called him out to the university around this time. All he could think was that the person who must have called him there might not be Kyle.However, it had been Kyle’s voice that he had heard.The cab pulled in front of the university gate, the headlights flashing in the darkness as they flickered off and on.Opening the car door, Tedmond was the first to step out, and when he did, he held out his hand for Persis to take and step out too.Taking his hand, she stepped out of the cab and stood by the gate as Tedmond handed the payment to the cab driver. Though she was right in front of the gate, she couldn’t see anything on the inside and just looked at the large gate.Once Tedmond finished paying, he turned around to look at Persis, and in less than a minute, the cab was already driving off the street, soon disappearing from sight.Tedmond stared through the bars of the gate, his brows pulling together. The university grounds were pitch-black,
CHAPTER 488
The room fell quiet. The only sound was the faint rustle of the first-aid kit. Tedmond felt his pulse jump, warmth crawling up his neck.“I… yeah,” he said quietly, his voice rougher than he intended. “I missed you.”Persis held his gaze for a moment before nodding slowly. “Good.”She picked up another pad, her cheeks slightly pink. “Lift your head a little.”Tedmond obeyed, and she went back to tending his nose. Her movements were slower now, softer, like she didn’t want the moment to break too quickly.Persis took out a small band-aid, peeled it open carefully, and leaned in again.“Hold still,” she murmured.Tedmond stayed completely still this time. Her fingers were warm as they brushed the bridge of his nose, smoothing the band-aid gently into place.She pressed it lightly with her thumb, then reached for a second, smaller one.“You don’t need two,” he whispered.“Yes, I do,” she replied firmly. “You’re bleeding from two places.”She placed the second band-aid just under the firs
CHAPTER 487
Tedmond’s hand flew to his nose as pain shot through it. He had wanted to dodge the kick, but he had seen it was a woman’s heel and from h, ow she had jumped, if he were to move aside, she was going to fall over herself, and he didn’t want that to happen.So, he had decided to take the hit but had been too tired to be bothered to block it, and it was more like she had been waiting, and as soon as he took that one step, she would be flung toward him.“Tedmond Julius Washington! You finally decided to come home?!” The voice reached his ears, and he looked at the woman in front of him.“Are you having so much fun that you decided not to call?” she demanded, stepping closer to meet him.She peered up at him, and he looked down at her as she poked his chest.“Persis, you came back,” he said, eyes wide in surprise.He had no idea she was going to be home when he came back, and he hadn’t expected her to return to the country at all.Persis didn’t even give him a second to breathe.“Of cours
CHAPTER 486
In the hospital,Tedmond and Vivian stepped inside a ward. The ward was slightly dim, with two beds sitting across from each other, where Maxine and Max were lying. They both still had life support on their faces, and their eyes were closed.‘They still haven’t woken up yet,’ Tedmond thought.He hadn’t expected their accident to happen, and neither did he want them to die yet. He still needed them to wake up since they had to make up for what they had done and all the things they had caused.“They got hit pretty badly,” Vivian said, a look of disdain on her face as she stood in between both beds, her gaze scanning them one by one.With a blank look on his face, Tedmond nodded. “That’s right. It was a car accident.”Tedmond didn’t want to stay with the old lady either, and since he was done using her, he wanted to leave.“Come here, Tedmond,” Vivian said, making him meet her gaze. She had a slight smile on her face as she pointed at the machine connected to Max. “The machine seems to
CHAPTER 485
“Is there a need for you to go with your grandmother?” Evelyn asked, peering at Tedmond as he stepped into the car with Vivian.She didn’t want him to leave with Vivian. The old lady had promised him a house, and in Evelyn’s mind, the old woman might forget to transfer it if Tedmond wasn’t around. But now, since he was going with her, she would surely remember, because he wouldn’t let her forget.“It would be better for you to stay here. We were wrong for trying to chase you away. You should have stayed here since you came, so that you can come to the party with us,” Evelyn added.Tedmond shook his head. “Nope. There is no need for that. I want to go with Grandma.”He had no idea what she was scheming, but since he knew she was scheming, there was no way he was going with her, and he definitely wasn’t getting down from that car.‘She can keep trying,’ he thought.“Grandma has something to show me, and I don’t want to miss it, Mrs. Griffin,” he added, holding her gaze.Vivian nodded.
