A Miracle Fault

Chapter 16 Madness

Frank suddenly clenched his fists. He kept his head low and was hit by the crutch again, "Grandpa, he did it on purpose! Don't you see that? I heard that he went to France three years ago…"

"How dare you quibble! I saw you kick his wheelchair! He lost his legs! And you want to take away his life?" Edison glared at him.

"I hope that it could be your last mistake! I don't want to see you bully him again! Otherwise, you know the consequence!" After saying that, Edison turned around.

"Get out!"

Frank was so pissed that he gritted hard. He stared at Edison's back, looking painful as if he was holding back a kind of agony. His eyes looked vicious again.

He turned around and went out of the door. Then he saw Ciara standing at the door.

When he went downstairs, Ciara stopped him, "Frank, don't mess up at the critical moment. There are only three months left. Just be calm! Don't worry! Everything here will be yours!"

Frank didn't reply. He walked out of the mansion directly.

When he stepped on the gas and rushed out of the mansion, someone in the bush around stared closely at him.

It was Anayah Campbell, who had been hiding beside the mansion. She just stared at his car fading away from her sight.

'Frank, I am here!'

When Stefan went back to the island, it was 5:00 PM. He got off the car himself and sat on the wheelchair. Then he headed for the villa directly.

When he just entered, he saw Madison in the kitchen. He went over, "Where is she?"

Madison turned around, "Mrs. Stefan is in the bedroom. She has been staying inside for a whole day. She even finished her lunch there."

Stefan got into the elevator and reached the second floor.

He reached her bedroom and pushed the door opened. Seeing that Emmeline was reading attentively beside the desk, he looked even horribly colder.

Emmeline stood up immediately and stared at this mad guy blankly. She put away the book and walked over, "Welcome back."

When she was about to push the wheelchair, Stefan suddenly grabbed her wrist hard.

She turned around and looked at him quietly, "I learn something new today. It will be good for blood circulation in your muscle. Let me give you a massage…"

"No!" Stefan still grabbed her wrist hard, "Stop pretending!" His cold eyes were fixed on her confused face mockingly.

"Well, well, well! You gave away your virginity at the age of 17! What a slut! I have never expected that my wife is actually a used one!" his eyes were bloodshot.

Stefan was burning with rage when thinking of Frank's words.

She looked so pure like the moon in night sky. But he had never expected that it was just an illusion. Though he didn't love her at the beginning and he married her only to irritate Frank, he was still burning

with anger as if something valuable of his were taken away by Frank when hearing his provocative words.

Even though Stefan dumped her, he would never allow others to take her away!

However, she was actually once owned by Frank before! How could Stefan just remain calm at the thought of that!

Emmeline stared at him blankly. Her face still remained quite as usual. She still looked pure and peaceful as if it were none of her business. Her eyes started to be watery while she was looking at this mad man quietly.

"Master Stefan…"

"No! Don't call me that! You don't deserve it!" As she just uttered, Stefan shouted to interrupt. He glared at her.

"From now on, you have to stay a few meters away from me because I hate dirty things! Besides, you still have to stay here! If you try to run away, I will make your family totally disappear in this city! Get out of here!"

His eyes were overwhelmed with great pain. And Emmeline noticed that. She deemed that he hated Anayah just because she was the girlfriend of Frank.

However, it was an evitable fact. She slowly walked over, "Master Stefan, let me help you to take a bath and get changed. Your clothes are stained."

However, Stefan suddenly flung his arm, "Get out! You are not qualified to do so! Remember, don't call me Master Stefan again!" After shouting, he went out of the bedroom with wheelchair himself.

"Master…Stefan Byrne!" Emmeline shouted to stop him.

"Though you hate me, please don't be mad. I will get out of the house then. Just go to take a bath and get changed yourself."

Her eyes were blurred with tears. She lowered her head, depressed. Then she turned around and went downstairs.

Stefan looked at her lonely back. He felt like being stung in his heart. But soon the pain disappeared.

Emmeline walked out of the villa alone. She walked along the beach, heading to the north, where there was plenty of sea grass under the rocks. The grass looked burning red under the sunset.

The sunset glow looked beautiful. Waves on the ocean sounded from time to time. Emmeline continued to walk forward with her head down. She had been pondering while walking. She was wondering why she had to bear them all by herself.

Perhaps it was destined. She should pay it back since she was raised up by the Campbell family. But she really missed her real mom. However, she still failed to recall the face of her mom.

She once asked Nicholas about her mom. She wanted to know if her mom was still alive. Nicholas nodded, "Yes, she is still alive. When you grow up, she will come to see you!"

However, she was twenty years old now. But she still didn't see her mom. She couldn't help wondering if her mom abandoned her. Or did she choose to hide herself from her out of some reason.

Emmeline didn't even notice herself that she had walked into the forest. The island was actually a huge one. Besides the villa, there was a forest.

When she raised her head again, she had already reached inside the forest. The night fell. She looked at the forest and turned around to walk back.

However, the sky turned to be darker. She kept walking but she still didn't reach the beach. She was supposed to return by the way she came. But she felt like she was circling around.

She kept moving forward while making her way through. But she didn't even see a trace of light. What was worse, she heard an animal howling.

She looked around. But there was nothing in front of her but endless trees.

Suddenly, another howl sounded again. Emmeline was so scared. She shouldn't reach here on her own. She couldn't even tell the right direction.

She rushed forward, panic. She was thinking there shouldn't be any animal in the forest. No! She actually got lost. What should she do then? Suddenly, she heard the breath of an animal.

She was suddenly stunned and took a step back. But she stumbled down because of a rope and she fell down on the ground.

However, the breath seemed to approach. She raised her head and saw a pair of green eyes approaching her.

Emmeline fixed her eyes on them. It turned out to be a huge wolf dribbling as if he saw his prey.

Emmeline immediately struggled up. She stared at the big wolf, looking panic. Her heart even stopped beating. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Don't…please don't eat me! I didn't mean to break into your place! Sorry, I am leaving now!" Emmeline was rendered totally powerless.

She kept stepping back. But the wolf kept approaching. His green eyes still fixed on her as if he didn't want to lose his delicious food
