336 Lose Control And Stay Rational
Joseph turned around in shock. Stella was sitting on the guardrail of the ship, half of her body hanging in the air.
Then, her face was full of tears as she smiled bitterly. âI know. I know you hate me, and this is your punishment for me...â
Joseph tried to stop Stella from hurting herself. Unexpectedly, Stella just looked up at the dark sky in relief as if she didnât care about anything, and her expression returned to calm. âActually, I know very well the result of my choices. But I still canât bear it when it really comes... Joseph, do you still remember the song we heard together? I remember when we were kids, you loved to talk and I loved to laugh. We sat side by side under the peach tree. The wind was howling in the forest trees and birds were chirping...â
Josephâs eyes widened.
Stella tilted her body and instantly fell into the dark sea.
A splash appeared on the sea.
Then, people rushed out to save Stella.
Joseph was a little nervous. No matter how many mistakes Stella had made, she was the one who had accompanied him in the darkest time. He did not want her to die because of him.
However, when Joseph saw Isabellaâs untidy clothes, he really felt panic.
.....
She and Cedric went to the room and did...
She had only known Cedric for two days. How could she become that intimate with him?
Joseph sneered in his heart.
As expected, she was only alert when facing him and only refused him. That woman turned out to be a flirt.
So Joseph pushed Isabella away. He hated her being hypocritical and fickle.
Isabella was like a cunning foxy. She only pursued benefits. How could she have true feelings?
He was wrong about her...
Someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Doctor Morris came back with the medical kit. When he saw that Joseph was still wearing wet clothes, he suddenly stopped his steps. âMr. Joseph, you should have a good rest. I will stay here. I guarantee Ms. Stella will be okay.â
Joseph didnât answer, directly asking, âWhatâs wrong with Isabellaâs finger?â
Doctor Morris was stunned again. âHer nails all split. She said that she hit the guardrail of the ship. Itâs not serious. I disinfected it and deal with her wounds. But it still hurts. She might not sleep well tonight.â
Josephâs eyes darkened as he suddenly remembered how he had bumped her on the deck.
At that time, she moaned as her hand hit the deck. When Cedric asked her whether she was fine, she immediately put her hand behind her back and said it didnât matter...
It seemed that she got injured at that moment.
She was more nice than wise but in front of Cedric, she pretended to be quiet.
Isabella became meek as long as Joseph was not around.
âHas she slept?â
Although Joseph was mad at Isabella, he still wanted to know more about her situation.
âMr. Cedric is there with her.â
Doctor Morris lowered his head and hesitated. âMr. Cedric said that he would stay with her tonight.â
âGerry!â Before Doctor Morris could finish, Joseph suddenly shouted.
Gerry, who had been standing outside the door, had heard the conversations between Joseph and Doctor Morris. Hearing this, he immediately went in. âMr. Joseph, what can I do for you?â
âGet Cedric to come here!â
Joseph said angrily, âTell him that Stella wants to see him! Tell him that Stella wants everyone to stay with her tonight!â
Gerry froze. âBut...â
âWhat are you waiting for? Hurry up!â
âYes!â Gerry immediately ran away.
Josephâs eyes darkened. He took out his phone and dialed a number. âHello, Mr. Jeremy? I am Joseph. Today, you said that my call record was not lost. Can you help me check it again? No, this time please check my girlfriendâs call record.â
...
In the room, Cedric frowned and looked at Isabellaâs wrapped fingers. âAlthough youâre fine, it must hurt. Fingers are fragile.â
Isabella didnât mind at all and said, âItâs not serious and I just hurt the ring finger of my left hand. It will not affect me. Itâs fine.â
Cedricâs eyes flickered when he saw Isabellaâs bright smile. He said, âTell me if you feel unhappy or dislike something. Do you hear me?â
âYes!â
Isabella said, âItâs getting late. You should go to sleep. Otherwise, you canât watch the sunrise tomorrow.â
Cedric shook his head. âThere will be plenty of opportunities to watch the sunrise. You should have a good rest today. Itâs a long day today. Itâs already past 1 a.m.â
Isabella nodded, then stared at Cedric with a meaningful expression.
Cedric thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled. âSorry, I probably drank too much just now. You also know that I drank hard liquor, so...â
Isabella grinned awkwardly. âNever mind. Go back and rest. We can talk about it tomorrow.â
Cedric looked at Isabella and suddenly held her shoulder. He whispered in her ear, âActually... Isabella, I donât think itâs necessary to rest... Why donât we stay together tonight? You can get up whenever you want tomorrow...â
Isabella shivered.
Thinking about what Cedric had wanted to do when he lost control, Isabella felt her mind go blank... If Stella hadnât fallen into the water, she might have become Cedricâs woman...
âI was just joking. Look at how scared you are.â
Cedric rubbed Isabellaâs head. âIâm very gentle. Even on the bed, I wonât hurt you. How about it? Do you want to give it a try? Maybe youâll fall in love with me.â
Isabellaâs cheeks were burning.
Just as Cedric wanted to continue, someone knocked on the door.
âWho is there?â Cedric asked.
âMr. Cedric, I am Gerry.â
Isabella froze.
âWhatâs wrong? Itâs so late!â Cedric frowned. âThis is Isabellaâs room. Why are you here?â
âMs. Stella doesnât feel good now. She wants all of you to stay with her, so Mr. Joseph asked me to...â
Gerry paused and then stuttered, âHe asked me to inform you. He hopes that you will stay with Ms. Stella. After all, you are good friends and have grown up together...â
Cedric frowned.
Obviously, he could not deny it anymore.
Isabella advised, âGo, Cedric.â
Cedric looked up at Isabella for a while. Then, he said to Gerry who was standing at the door, âGot it. You can leave now.â
âPlease go there as soon as possible.â
Gerry said again before leaving.
But Cedric still sat on the bed without moving.
Isabella pushed him. âCedric, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go.â
