Chapter 2155 Chris, unsure, didn't dare to speak. He silently fetched some gauze to tend to Edwin's wound, and then suggested taking him to the hospital.
However, Edwin replied lightly, “It’s just a minor injury. You don't need to take me to the hospital. Drive me back to the villa” Chris hesitated but complied, and half an hour later, they arrived at the large villa.

Suddenly, he sat up, his gaze fixated vacantly on the darkness beyond.

Edwin's Adam's apple bobbed.
Edwin couldn't help but think about Laura. Had she returned to the apartment? Or was she still standing outside in the rain? He wished to believe that she was smart, that she would take the house, the check and Leave.

But he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. He decided to take a shower, hoping it would wash away his anxiety.
The warmth of the bathroom enveloped him, but it failed to soothe his restless mind. Edwin wrapped a bath towel around his waist and stepped out of the bathroom.
Five minutes later, he was in his sports car.
At three o'clock in the morning, the black sports car came to a sharp stop.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the scene where he had left Laura.
Edwin didn’t get out of the car immediately.
