A strange man was trying to undress Rosalie in the room! Rosalie seemed to have been struggling for quite a while and tears were already in her eyes.
When the man saw Gerald, he simply smiled coldly before jumping off the bed and diving out the window.
But this was the seventh floor.
Gerald immediately rushed toward the window and looked down. However, there was no trace of the man at all.
‘Where the hell did he go?’ Gerald thought to himself, stunned.
Turning around to check on Rosalie, Gerald found himself blushing deeply. As he was just about to cover her up with some blankets, he heard footsteps coming from outside.
“For heaven’s sake, why are you so annoying? Gerald’s already looking after my cousin, there’s no need for you to come along! You aren’t getting anything by doing this!” said Melissa’s voice a little down the hallway.
It would appear that the group he had been drinking with earlier had followed Melissa as well. From her tone, it was clear that they had insisted on coming along, possibly because they saw her leaving to get medicine earlier.
‘D*mn it! What should I even do now?’
Gerald was stupefied. What kind of misunderstandings would arise if they saw him in a room with a half-undressed Rosalie?
What more, when he attempted to help put her clothes on, Rosalie simply looked at him with teary eyes and told him not to come any closer. To make matters worse, she started calling for help with a faint voice!
‘D*mn it all!’
At that moment, knocking could be heard at the door.
“Gerald? Are you in there? Could you open the door- …Wait, cousin? Is that you? What’s wrong?” shouted Melissa from behind the door. She had clearly heard her cousin’s voice calling for help by now.
“Gerald? Mr. Crawford? Are you in there?” asked Melissa in her shocked state.
“Yes, I’m still in here!” replied Gerald as he immediately went to open the door.
