Chapter 504 Deepening Affections
Paige sensed the girl’s discomfort and asked in a soft voice, “Is it hurting again?”
“Um…” The girl covered her abdomen, gritting her teeth. She then tried to reassure Paige, “It’s okay, it’s not as bad as before.”
“Let me take a look.” Paige began to check the girl’s pulse again.
Curling up on the bed with her face turned to the wall, the girl peered through a small hole and could see Paige’s pretty chin and her slender, elegant fingers resting on her wrist.
For some reason, she suddenly thought of that person in her mind….
If she could, she wished she could go back to see him, even if she could only catch a glimpse of him
from a distance.
“How long has this poison been torturing you?” Paige let go of the girl’s hand and took out a small bottle of medicine from her backpack.
“A year and a half.” The girl smiled bitterly, surprised that she had been able to endure it for so
long.
Paige’s hand paused for a moment upon hearing “a year and a half.” She suddenly remembered that the poison inside her own body had been there for at least a year, maybe even a year and a half.
“Take some painkillers and get some rest,” Paige said as she poured out a small pill from the bottle.
and handed it to the girl.
Having only seen Paige’s fingers before, the girl now saw her entire beautiful hand and found it
pleasing to the eye.
She took the pill and swallowed it.
“I’m going to make a phone call.” Paige got up and went outside the room, closed the door, and
dialed a familiar number.
Martin seemed to have been waiting for the call from Paige. When he saw the screen light up, he
answered almost immediately.
“Are you safe?” Martin asked.
“I’m very safe now,” Paige replied.
They spoke in unison and then laughed together.
“That’s good to hear,” Martin said warmly. Glancing at the time, he asked, “It’s already three in the morning. When will you come back? Will he be driving you back or should I come to pick you up?”

“It probably won’t be that soon. I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon.”
According to what Nate had said earlier, he would be away for more than ten hours.
“What will you do tonight? Is there a place to rest? Is it a complicated matter? Are you tired?”
Martin asked.
“I’m not tired, just taking care of someone,” Paige replied, then asked, “Any news from Lamont’s
side?”
“I haven’t received his call yet.”
“Tomorrow, when you have time, go and check on Lamont for me. Make sure he gets some sleep
and eats something, and change his dressings.”
“Okay.”
“And you need to rest too,” Paige added, “You must sleep well tonight. Don’t wait for me. I’ll come
back when it’s time.”
Martin didn’t expect the girl to know him so well. Indeed, he couldn’t sleep well until the girl
returned. He was always worried about her safety and wondered if she needed his help.
Paige naturally guessed this, “If I see dark circles under your eyes tomorrow, I won’t see you for
three days.”
“I’ll sleep,” Martin immediately promised, “I’ll definitely sleep well tonight.”
“Don’t stay up late.”
