Chapter 664 She Is Gone
While Satan seemingly knew who the caller was, Jude took a deep breath and answered the phone call. “Hello.” “Are you in bed, Jude?” Wyatt spoke with a tired voice, suggesting that he was likely on a night shift or just done with his work.
“Oh, I’m just about to hit the hay,” Jude replied while gazing at Satan. “I saw your message right after I was just done with an operation. Are you coming back?” Despite Wyatt’s exhausted voice, he could barely contain his excitement. After all, the woman that he had been waiting for was finally going to come back.
“Yeah, the flight is tomorrow, and I’ll probably arrive at night.” “Oh, sure. I’ll pick you up then.” Wyatt was over the moon. “How is Satan? Has he recovered?”
“Yeah, he is doing fine. He can already stand and walk for a few steps. So, I think it won’t take much longer to fully recover,” Jude answered in an honest manner.
“That’s great! Alright, it’s getting late, so you should go to bed. Good night!” Wyatt said thoughtfully and hung up the call.
Soon, Jude put down her phone, knowing the call’s interference likely indicated that things would never work out for her and Satan again. Thus, she began to put on her clothes one by one, telling herself that she shouldn’t betray Wyatt no matter how much she loved Satan.
In the meantime, Satan knew what Jude was thinking as he realized he had gotten a little too carried away. Then, he was prompted by his conscience to restrain himself from betraying Wyatt. After all, he was the one who performed his surgery and saved his life. No! Wyatt was kind enough to let Jude come and take care of me, plus he is the reason I’m still breathing. I mustn’t repay him this way!
With one of them standing on the ground and the other lying in bed, they both looked away from each other, refusing to see the disappointed expression on their faces.
After a long silence, Jude finally responded, knowing there was nothing they could do to turn things back to the way they were. “I… shall return to my room.”
“Sure.”
Then, Jude returned to her room, where she sat on the bed, caught in a trance for a long time.
The next morning, Satan purposely slept in because he didn’t want to run into Jude. Since her flight was at 10.00 AM, he believed she would take her breakfast before leaving. Therefore, he waited in his room until a few moments later when he decided to head downstairs. Though he wasn’t expecting to see Jude in the dining area, he somehow couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked the maid, “Has Miss Knight had her breakfast?”
“No, she didn’t.”
“Is she still in her room?”
