Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Last Night, Something Shady Happened! (2)

Downstairs restaurant.

Listening to Seraphina’s piano upstairs, Ethan Sterling frowned and looked up.

He could tell she had already made four mistakes.

With Seraphina’s skill, she shouldn’t be making mistakes with such a familiar piece.

Could something have happened?

Ethan set down his chopsticks and walked towards the stairs.

Buzz—

The phone on the table suddenly rang.

Ethan reached for the phone and saw Chloe Foster’s call on the screen. He stopped and answered the call.

"Hello, Chloe?"

"Ethan... I... I seem to..."

Thud.

There was a muffled sound on the call.

After a burst of noise, there was complete silence.

Looking at the call that had ended, Ethan frowned and rushed out the door.

On the stairs, Seraphina watched his departing figure through the window and bit her lower lip.

She withdrew her right foot that was about to step down and turned to go back to her bedroom.

Outside the door.

Ethan jogged all the way to Foster Villa and knocked heavily on the door.

Not hearing Chloe’s response, he looked around, went to the side of the villa.

Noticing the open back door, Ethan hurriedly pushed it open, ran up the stairs, and arrived at Chloe’s bedroom.

The bedroom was empty, the bathroom door was ajar, with lights streaming out.

He pushed the door open and went inside, finding Chloe wrapped in a towel and slumped by the side of the bathtub.

Chloe’s phone had fallen into the water-filled bathtub.

"Chloe!" Ethan rushed over and held her shoulder, "How are you?"

Chloe opened her eyes faintly and looked at him in surprise.

"Ethan, you... how did you come?"

"You suddenly went silent, I was worried and came to check."

"I’m sorry... I was really dizzy, so I called you."

"Don’t talk." Ethan helped her up, "How are you now?"

"Much better." Chloe weakly smiled, "Really, troubling you again."

Ethan frowned as he helped her back to her room and settled her on the bed, "Why did you faint?"

"I don’t know, just after taking a bath, I felt a bit dizzy..." Chloe frowned with a guilty look, "It shouldn’t be a big deal, don’t worry about me, you should go back."

"What if something happens to you in this state?" Ethan checked the time on his wrist, "Why hasn’t Nathan come home yet?"

"My brother has a case these days, he’s on a business trip."

Looking at the girl’s pale face, Ethan frowned.

"No worries, I’ll stay tonight to take care of you. You rest now, I’ll go tell Seraphina."

Ethan left Chloe’s bedroom and took out his phone to call Seraphina.

"Hey, honey... Chloe’s a bit dizzy, Nathan’s not around, I’ll stay here to take care of her tonight, is that okay?"

He actually asked her...

"Is that okay?"

Seraphina held her phone and smiled.

Her lips curved, but her eyes glistened with tears.

"Of course, take good care of her."

"Then rest early, don’t practice piano too late."

Ethan hung up the call, turned around, looked at Chloe on the bed, and didn’t return to her bedroom.

No matter what, the other party is a girl.

Seraphina trusts him so much, he can’t betray her trust.

"Chloe, I’ll be in Nathan’s study, researching and accompanying you. If you feel uncomfortable, just call me, I’ll be right over."

Chloe leaned against the pillow, her lips curved.

"Alright, then I’ll trouble you, Ethan."

"Rest well."

Closing the door for her, Ethan turned and walked into Nathan’s study.

He opened Nathan’s computer and started working seriously.

In two days, Seraphina will go abroad for a competition.

Ethan has already decided to accompany her.

To spare time, he must finish up all his important work in the next few days so he can join her. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Ethan worked in the study all night.

The next morning, as Nathan returned home from his trip, Ethan just came out of the kitchen with a black coffee.

Seeing him, Nathan was surprised.

"Ethan, why are you here?"

"Don’t mention it." Ethan pinched the bridge of his nose, "Yesterday Chloe accidentally fell, I was worried something might be wrong, so I stayed to take care of her overnight."

Upon hearing about his sister’s accident, Nathan anxiously ran upstairs, rushed into Chloe’s bedroom.

Inside, Chloe had just changed clothes and came out of the walk-in closet.

Nathan held her arm, looking her up and down with concern.

"What happened, are you hurt?"

"No, just my knee got bruised, Ethan already took me to the hospital for treatment." Chloe smiled easily, "Don’t worry, brother."

Nathan sighed in relief, "You... always so careless."

Chloe grinned and made a playful face at him, "I didn’t do it on purpose, brother, I’m so hungry."

"Wait, brother will make you breakfast."

Ethan stood outside the door, yawning.

"Then you take care of her, I’ll get going."

"Alright." Nathan hurriedly came out to see him off, "Thanks for your trouble, Ethan."

Waving to him, Ethan massaged his sore back and turned to leave Foster Villa.

Returning to Thorne Villa, he quietly entered the kitchen, made breakfast, and carried it on a tray upstairs to Seraphina’s bedroom.

"Little lazy pig, time to eat!"

The bedroom was neatly tidied, but where was Seraphina?

Ethan looked around, noticing a note on the nightstand, he set down the tray and picked it up.

The note was in Seraphina’s familiar handwriting.

"Something came up at the orchestra, I left first."

Ethan grabbed his phone, wanting to call her, concerned she might be on the road, his hand hovered over the call button but pulled back.

Exiting the contacts, he opened WeChat and edited a message to send.

On the other end.

Seraphina was guiding Claire Clayton on her performance when she heard a notification sound.

She took her phone out and glanced at the screen.

On the screen was Ethan’s WeChat message.

[Ethan: Remember to have breakfast, don’t let my wife go hungry. Blowing kiss (emoji)]

Claire peeked over, glanced at Seraphina’s screen, and rolled her eyes.

"Showing off love early in the morning, who does that to rub it in?"

Seraphina remained silent, not replying to Ethan’s message, locked her phone, and stuffed it back into her bag.

"Alright, let’s continue."

Claire picked up her violin again, "By the way, Seraphina, for this competition, Ethan Sterling will definitely accompany you, right?"

Seraphina gently shook her head, "I’m going by myself, tickets are already booked, leaving tonight."

"Is President Sterling busy?"

"Yeah." Seraphina lowered her lashes, "Third section, let’s go again."

After Seraphina concluded her special guidance for Claire, other musicians from the orchestra gradually arrived, Chloe was no exception.

Claire noticed Chloe walking and something seemed off, she helped holding her arm with concern.

"Chloe, what’s wrong, you look like struggling to walk."

"It’s nothing, just my waist hurts a bit."

"Waist pain?" Claire grinned mischievously, "Didn’t do anything good last night huh!"

"Get lost!" Chloe laughed and pushed her, "What nonsense are you talking."

"Stop pretending." Claire winked at her, "The rose on your neck, you think I can’t see it?"

Seraphina turned and glanced at Chloe’s neck.

Sure enough, on her fair skin, there was a patch of dark red mark, resembling a love bite.
