Entangled in the Night: Unable to Escape Him-Chapter 28: Sealing Her Lips with His

Just as Chloe Nash was about to take a closer look, Silas Prescott suddenly walked over.

"What are you looking at so intently?"

Julian Prescott immediately covered the photo with his hand and quickly closed the album.

Silas grinned and tapped him on the head, "I used to bathe you every day when you were little. What haven’t I seen? What are you hiding?"

Hearing this, Chloe’s budding thoughts were instantly extinguished.

Julian was Silas’s son, and with her son, they were technically half-brothers. It was very possible they looked alike as kids.

One led a life of luxury, while the other died on the battlefield.

All because their mothers held different statuses.

As she thought of this, Chloe felt a twinge of bitterness in her heart, and her eyes grew moist.

She made an excuse to quietly go to the garden.

At that moment, a female voice came from behind, "Dr. Nash."

Stella Sterling, dressed in a high-fashion evening gown, walked toward her.

Chloe didn’t like her, but after all, Stella was Julian’s mother.

So she politely curved her lips, "Do you need something from me?"

Stella dropped her usual socialite demeanor, her eyes filled with cold intensity as she looked at her, "Stay away from Silas. He’s someone you can’t reach. Get out of the country and never come back."

Chloe let out a cold laugh, "Are you afraid I’ll threaten your place as Mrs. Prescott? Is this how you deal with all the women around Silas?"

Stella gritted her teeth in anger, "Silas and I are a perfect match. You’re just a mere doctor. How can you, like Sienna, be so overconfident, daring to covet someone you shouldn’t? How much do you want to leave Silas?"

Seeing Stella’s sharp words, Chloe retorted without courtesy, "I’ve never thought of coming between you and Silas, but the fact that you say these things only shows that Silas doesn’t love you enough. Otherwise, you wouldn’t feel the need to threaten someone unrelated to gain his heart."

This statement struck Stella’s sore spot directly.

In fury, she grabbed Chloe by the collar and hissed, "I’ve fought hard for this happiness; I won’t let you ruin it. Chloe, take the money and leave, or you’ll regret it for the rest of your life."

Seeing her distorted expression, Chloe felt somewhat saddened.

Silas could have a child with such a woman but not with her. Indeed, marriages in high society still required compatibility in background.

It’s just a pity that Julian, such a good child, has a mother like this.

No wonder he always seems to cling to her.

Chloe wasn’t afraid; instead, she chuckled lightly, "My comings and goings aren’t yours to command. I have my own life, which won’t change for anyone, nor will I be willing to be threatened."

Seeing Chloe as unyielding, Stella gritted her teeth hard.

"Chloe, you’ve made your choice. Refusing the toast to drink the forfeit, I’ll show Silas today just how sinister you are."

After saying that, she grabbed Chloe’s hand, pretending Chloe was pushing her.

Upon seeing this, Chloe immediately understood what was happening.

Stella intended to use this method to make Silas dislike her.

Even short dramas don’t depict things this way nowadays.

Without waiting for Stella to prepare, Chloe herself fell backward into the swimming pool.

Before falling, she gave Stella a meaningful smile.

Seeing Chloe fall into the water, Stella panicked completely.

She watched Chloe frantically struggling in the pool, frightened, and took a few steps back.

She kept muttering, "I didn’t push her; she fell by herself."

Just as she was about to flee the scene, someone started shouting.

"Someone’s fallen into the water! Hurry and save them!"

Upon hearing the shout, Silas immediately looked towards Lucy Rhodes, "Where’s Chloe?"

Lucy, with a nervous pale face, replied, "She... she said she felt stuffy and went for a walk. Brother, the person in the water can’t be Dr. Nash, can it?"

Realizing this possibility, Silas sprinted toward the pool.

Upon hearing this, Jett Sterling also ran towards that side like a madman.

As he ran, he shouted, "Call a doctor quickly; Chloe has a stress reaction to water."

Upon hearing this, Silas’s pace quickened even more.

He felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his throat.

The tension was reminiscent of when Sienna had an accident.

He and Jett arrived at the poolside simultaneously, immediately spotting Chloe, who was no longer struggling in the water.

Both shouted in unison, "Chloe!"

Before the words were even fully spoken, they both dove into the water with a splash.

Silas and Jett swam frantically towards Chloe.

Hearing their shouts, Chloe, lying in the water, deliberately swallowed a few gulps of water.

As Sienna, she could swim; it was Silas who taught her.

But Chloe couldn’t, and she even had an intense fear of water due to a near-drowning incident in her childhood.

So when she fell in, she frantically struggled in the water.

After just a few struggles, her stress reaction caused her to lose the will to fight.

Slowly, she began to sink.

At that moment, she heard two urgent voices calling in her ears.

"Chloe!"

Jett was the first to reach Chloe and pull her out of the water.

Holding her, he shouted, "Chloe, Chloe."

His voice was anxious, filled with an irrepressible heartache.

Seeing Chloe unresponsive, Jett lowered his head, about to give her mouth-to-mouth.

Just then, Silas rushed over from behind.

He snatched Chloe from Jett’s arms, holding her like a child.

He immediately pinched her nose and pressed his lips to hers.
