Chapter 1008
Elijah seemed confused. "Vicky, what's wrong?"
She snapped out of it. "It's fine."
Elijah wanted to say something, but soon noticed the wound on her lips and the marks on her neck.
Vicky noticed his gaze and instinctively covered her neck with her hand.
They were both adults, and Elijah immediately knew what those marks meant.
Since he and Vicky were not actually dating, he did not question what happened the night before and simply cleared his throat, "Ahem... Vicky, why don't I get you a scarf?"
Vicky did not want others to see the marks on her either, so she nodded. "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The two of them walked and chatted, heading toward the direction of the cloakroom.
As they turned a corner, Missus Harrisons ran into them and exclaimed in surprise, "Breakfast is prepared. Why haven't you come downstairs yet?"
"We need to go back and get something. We'll be down in a moment."
"Hurry up, then. Don't keep our guests waiting downstairs for too long."
"Okay."
Missus Harrisons was about to leave when she caught sight of the wounds on Vicky's neck and lips, causing her to freeze in her tracks. "Vicky, what happened to you..." Missus Harrisons seemed to realize something and a look of joy appeared on her face. "Oh my, it seems the Harrison family is about to have a new child!"
Vicky and Elijah were both stunned.
