Chapter 198
At midnight, there were some faint noises in the room.
Only a dim light was on in the room. Molly opened her eyes sleepily and saw a dark figure in front of the bed, which frightened her, and she immediately woke up.
She saw the pr
profile clearly
and yelled, “Stephanie, what are you doing? Why are you up at midnight? You scared me!”
Molly was angry. She was used to living alone. When she opened her eyes and saw Stephanie sneaking around her bed, she was terrified. “Hmm” Stephanie responded perfunctorily, seeming a little absent–minded.
It was almost late autumn, and the night wind outside the window was al
little
chilly.
Molly widened her eyes in surprise and saw Stephanie actually walking to the window to
to enjoy the wind.
“Stephanie, you will catch a cold! Although Molly was angry after being scared, she was still very concerned about Stephanie. She noticed that Stephanie held a mobile phone. Who was she going to call?
“She’s really duplicity. Molly suddenly understood. She ignored Stephanie, turned over, and continued to sleep.
Standing by the window, Stephanie leaned against the sill and felt a little tired. She looked down at the darkness below the high–rise apartment building. Only sparse street lights were on in the community. There were no pedestrians. The night was really lifeless and quiet at this time.
Such a peaceful night was good for a sound sleep, but Stephanie couldn’t fall asleep.
Holding the phone in her right hand, she glanced at the familiar phone number on the screen and stared at it for a long while
“Dominick… Stephanie murmured and wanted to dial the number.
However, she suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Molly on the bed. She remembered that Molly had to go for a job interview the next morning. It was late at night, and she didn’t want to disturb her rest.
Holding the phone, Stephanie quietly walked out of the room.
She turned on the light in the living room, sat on the sofa, and looked around. There was a set of elegant small yellow sofas with a Spongebob pillow and a Totoro pillow on it. The walls were simply painted white, with three watercolor paintings hanging on them. The small round table opposite was where she had meals with Molly. Everything in the room gave off a warmth of home.
After hesitating for a while, Stephanie finally picked up the phone and dialed a number. “What happened to Dominick?”
She did make a call, but the person she called was Vincent.
It was already early in the morning, but it was not a disturbance to Vincent, who was used to having a late night. He was still up
“He’s fine.” As usual, he was reluctant to talk about Dominick’s personal affairs to Stephanie, but tonight, his voice was a little low.
After that, he asked, “You told George that Dominick is in Golden Angel Club, right?”
In fact. Vincent was almost sure that it was Stephanie who had informed George. He heard from the person in charge of the club that she had come there suddenly in the morning but had been driven out by Dominick, Vincent thought that George’s sudden arrival at the club in the afternoon must have been Stephanie’s “revenge”
On the other end of the phone. Stephanie didn’t reply. She was quiet tonight.
Vincent was not really attuned to her silence, pressing his lips and saying. “George went to the club at three o’clock in the afternoon.”
“He went to there?” This surprised Stephanie.
George didn’t like to go out, and he usually ordered his people to do something outside.
Stephanie felt even more uneasy. She asked seriously, “Vincent, what disease does Dominick have?”
“He’s not sick!” Vincent’s voice was a little loud, and he impatiently put out the cigarette butt in his left hand. “Listen, Stephanie, Dominick is not sick. He… He is really fine now.”
really sick, George
He hesitated for a moment, softened his voice, and explained calmly. “George went to the club this afternoon. If Dominick were really would not let him go so easily. Dominick is really fine.” At least he was fine for now
Vincent was different from Dominick and Scott. He was not cunning. He teased women, but he was not good at lying.

There was a long silence on the phone before Stephanie asked, “Then why did Dominick drive me away!”
concern for Dominick.
Her voice was calm. There was no anger or jealousy in her words, only revealing her conce
“That day. Dominick returned from abroad as scheduled. I heard that the flight was delayed, so he and Hayley went to a nearby commercial street to buy things. Hayley found that he didn’t look good, probably because he was too tired, so they postponed their return for a day
Vincent really didn’t want to tell Stephanie too much, so what he said was not all true.
As he spoke, he was pretty puzzled. The doctors in Serenburg repeatedly warned Dominick that he had to remain in the hospital under observation, but Dominick insisted on retuming home immediately.
What was the matter that made him in a hurry to return?
Dominick’s attitude was uncompromising this time. He didn’t allow anyone to interfere, including his good friends and George.
The strange Dominick’s action was, the more unusual Vincent felt. “Stephanie, I want to ask you something.” He held the phone and lowered his voice unconsciously.
“What do you want to ask me?” Stephanie said.
“Your rosewood box..
What? Before Vincent finished asking, the call ended. Stunned. Stephanie looked at the inexplicably ended call on the screen.
She mumbled, “What ex
texactly does Vincent want to ask!
“Dominick went out suddenly.” The sound of hurried footsteps coming towards this side scared Vincent. He immediately hung up the phone, looked up at the comer, and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not Dominick.
Hayley, who trotted in, looked worried and said anxiously. “Dominick just received a call, then be took a palm–sized rosewood box and drove to Frostvale without taking a bodyguard.”
That rosewood box was Stephanie‘
Vincent was calm. He had his consideration, so he didn’t respond.
“Vincent, you and George have known about Dominick’s illness for a long time. Why don’t you worry about him? You even hid it from me. If 1 hadn’t seen Dominick’s pale face at the jewelry counter that day, I would” Hayley spoke reprovingly.
“You’re not a doctor. Vincent sighed. He knew that she cared about Dominick. However, even doctors could do nothing if the patients were incoordinate.
“Hayley, are you going to drive and follow Dominick at midnight? Vincent paused. “Don’t go. Dominick has his own plans.”
Dominick never needed anyone’s pity.
*No matter how powerful Dominick is, he is a person. His high fever has just gone, and he drove to Frostvale alone. What if something happens to him!” Hayley shouted anxiously. She rarely showed such an excited expression.
Vincent looked at her, especially her tearful eyes, and he suddenly figured out something. He was shocked.
“You are not Oscar’s girlfriend at all. You like Dominick, so you made an excuse to get close to him, right“”
Being stared at Hayley felt guilty. “… I care about him. She neither admitted nor denied.
Vincent did not ask any more questions but said, “Hayley, what Dominick said to us during dinner… He was warning us not to mention his illness to Stephanic. You think you are more important than Stephanie just because you knew something that she is not allowed to inquire, right?”
He strode forward and passed Hayley.
The two doormen of the club politely opened the door. Vincent walked out without even looking back and reminded Hayley indifferently, “Hayley, there is one thing you should know, Stephanie cannot know about Dominick’s affairs, but you don’t need to know from the beginning. Do you understand?”
On a quiet night, even whispers were so
rs were so clear.
Hayley stood there stiffly. She used to be in a high position, but her rationality and calmness collapsed in an instant.
“Have I paid less than Stephanie? Have I paid less than her?” she screamed and shouted uncontrollably. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Why She had taken so much effort and worked hard for many years…

What Vincent had just said came into Hayley’s mind. “Stephanie cannot know about Dominick’s affairs, but you don’t need to know from the beginning
