Chapter 80
Deep in the night, the wind that blew past felt slightly chilly.
Yet, it failed to awaken Stella from her stupor.
She stumbled against a billboard and tried to steady her breath. She looked at the man before her and said, “I think I feel slightly unwell. Could you take me to the hospital?”
Justin instinctively tried to hold her up.
However, the moment he touched her, Stella felt an inexplicable sense of desire course through her veins.
When she looked into his eyes, she suddenly pulled her hand back like she was scalded, feeling a strong sense of repulsion and torture.
The sight of her caused realization to dawn on Justin.
“You probably touched something unclean. In a place like that, even if you didn’t eat or drink anything, they would still be able to make you inhale something through the air inside.”
“No wonder…”
Stella furrowed her brows. “I thought that smell was normal in places like that.”
She never expected that a fragrance would have such a big impact.
She shut her eyes as her face contorted in misery.
He looked at Stella and said, “Who are you? Why are you calling Ella? She can’t come to the phone right now…”
“Who in the world are you?” Weston cut him off almost violently, “Who allowed you to touch her phone?”
Shocked displeasure emerged in Justin’s heart.
He remembered that Ella was single and did not have many male friends except for Robb.
The man on the call sounded so angry, as if he shared a close relationship with Stella… Justin asked blatantly, “Ella, do you have a boyfriend?” Stella lifted her gaze and glanced at him before shaking her head, “No, I don’t.” Justin heaved a sigh of relief and sensed that the other party on the call was trying to pursue Stella, like he was. With that thought in mind, he said in a tone less kind than before, “She feels awful right now and is in no mood to speak to you.” With that, he hung up
The beeping tone from the phone made Weston fling it hard on the ground. His black phone was smashed into pieces in an instant.
