Chapter 302 "Are you trying to ghost the guy after having your fun?" Fanny thought that of me.
I denied it without a second thought, "Me? Never!" Fanny snorted, "You practically drained him of all but his last breath, and you're saying nothing happened?" I looked at her, still trying to gather my thoughts. But Fanny pointed at her neck, propping herself up on the edge of the bed. "Licia, girl, impressive. I didn't see it coming. It seems you've unleashed all that pent-up energy from the past twenty years on Mr. Collins." I swallowed hard when thinking about the love bite I'd left on Ernest. "It's not what you think." Fanny raised her hand to stop me. "No need to explain." I laughed helplessly. Indeed, sthings get murkier the more you try to clarify.
Fanny looked at me. "Feeling better now?" She was referring to my investigation into my parents' accident. I closed my eyes, silent.

"Ernest is a keeper. You have no idea how he looked when carrying you to the hospital," Fanny changed the subject.
I opened my eyes and leaned toward her. "How did Ernest look?" Fanny fiddled with her phone for a bit. "I sent you the video. See for yourself." I took the phone and watched the video Fanny sent me. Ernest was running, searching for a doctor, and his concern was unmistakable. A bittersweet feeling washed over me. Someone besides my parents would go crazy for me.
"This man's worth holding onto," Fanny said, looking at me. "I'll leave you guys alone. I don't want to make it awkward for him." "How was your dinner with Yates?" I couldn't help but gossip at a tlike that.
Fanny pursed her lips. "It was okay." "Okay? Fillin." I was curious.
Fanny cleared her throat lightly before replying, "I'll tell you when you get better." She keptin suspense, but I wasn't letting it slide. "I want to know now." Like a stubborn child, I held onto her, and my forehead, Fanny min, "He asked if I still had a crush on him." "Uh?" I was taken aback. "Is he really being that direct?" Fanny chuckled affirmatively, and I clung to her. "What did you say? You didn't chicken out, did you?" "Do I look like I'd chicken out?" Fanny raised an eyebrow at me.
I blinked. "So, are you..." Fanny laughed. "What do you mean 'are you...?' It sounds so scandalous." "Just tellwhat happened," I couldn't wait any longer.
Fanny pouted. "What do you think he said?" She wantedto guess when I was dying for the answer. Remembering how Yates looked at her that day, I teased, "He must've said, 'My dear, I've fancied you for ages."" Fanny smirked, pulling a face. "He said three words." "Which three?" I blurted out, "I like you? No, that's not enough. So, I love you?" My eyes widened. "No way! Was Yates that straightforward?" Fanny knocked on my head. "He said, 'I know it."" "Uh?" I was dumbfounded, "And then?" "That was it," Fanny said bitterly. "Was that the nicest way to reject someone?" I didn't know what to say.
