Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 641

There was one last person… the woman he glimpsed at the stairs of the hospital.

She walked through that door twice and flashed by less than two meters away from

him.

It very much resembled her.

It was as if she was standing in front of him.

Shawn closed his eyes, unconsciously recalling the scene in his mind.

Why could he not be faster so that he could grab her and stop her?

He could have torn off her mask and saw her full face!

However, why was Shawn stunned?

If only he were one second quicker.

If he had been a second quicker, he would not have missed her.

The vast sea of people, how could he even find her again?

“Knock, knock…” There was a sudden knock on the door of the study.

“Come in.”

When the door opened, it was Winnie who came in.

Shawn frowned deeply.

He thought it was the housekeeper.

Winnie walked in with warm milk and said, “Mr. Wood, it’s so late. Why aren’t you resting? I see that the light in your study is still on, so I brought you a cup of hot milk. Drinking it can help you sleep.”

Under the dim light, he saw she was not wearing heavy makeup, her lipstick was light, and her hair was hanging behind her…

She looked gentle.

Winnie looks more and more like her.

Not just her face. She started to resemble her demeanor.

Seeing that Shawn had not chased her out, Winnie knew that she had a chance tonight.

“I heard from the housekeeper that you have not been sleeping well lately.” She put down the milk gently and added, “Mr. Wood, your work is endless, but you still need

to rest.”

Shawn looked deeply at the glass of milk but did not drink it for a long time.

Winnie said, “Mr. Wood, drink it early while it’s still hot.”

“She also brought me milk.”

“Gale?”

“Yeah. It’s just…”

At that time, she had other plans when she delivered him milk.

She put sleeping pills in it, and she sneaked out of the house while he was sound asleep.

Shawn knew that there was something wrong with that glass of milk, but he drank it

anyway.

It was because it was given to him by her.

Now that time had passed, and another woman brought him milk. What’s more, it was someone with her face.

Life was amazing.

“Drink it, so you can sleep well. Mr. Wood, I have no other intentions. I’ll leave after you finish drinking.” Winnie looked at him expectantly, wringing her hands non-stop.

Shawn noticed the blisters on the back of her hand.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s the matter? Did you burn yourself?”

“Yes… But it’s okay. I’ve already applied medicine.”

“Did you get burned while warming the milk?”

Winnie shook her head and said, “No. These days… I am learning how to cook in the kitchen, and I was clumsy, either splashed with oil or scalded when I went to take the lid off the pot. So, I got these injuries.”

Shawn said lightly, “Give it.”

“It’s okay. It’s just a minor injury.”

“I won’t say it a second time.”

Winnie could only follow suit, spreading her hands out.

On the back of her hand and fingers, there were more than a dozen blisters, large and small, which looked shocking.

Shawn would not have any emotions if it was another woman.

A burn was a burn, and it had nothing to do with him.

Shawn asked, “I told you to protect your face so that you won’t get hurt, but you did it, and you started to abuse your hands? Can’t you stop for a while?”

“I…”

Shawn withdrew his gaze coldly. “Her hands are beautiful. They are delicate, white, and slender. Her nails are neatly cut because she needs to draw with a pencil, and there are little calluses on her fingertips.”

Winnie hid her hand behind her back. “Mr. Wood, I understand. I will protect these

hands.”

“Get out.”
