Chapter 45: Chapter 45

The long and hard grinding finally came to an end.

Edward pulled out of her triumphantly, who was still hanging against the sink. With a smug look, he chuckled at her dishevelled appearance.

Just when he pulled up his trousers, did his belt and adjusted himself, Cindy suddenly turned and slapped him hard across his face.

Edward was taken by surprise as he wasn't expecting that.

He met Cindy's gaze who was literarily spitting out fire through her eyes. Anyways, his eyes were as angry too.

"You dare hit me?!"

"Watch me hit you again!" She spat.

Edward angrily shoved her away causing her to hit her back against the wall.

Cindy felt humiliated.

She had never been treated this way before. Edward had crossed the line and she instantly made up her mind to deal with him.

Feeling anger burning her chest, Cindy limped to where her clothes and lingeries were, lying on the tiled floor. She could not even walk properly and she cursed inwardly.

She really would deal with Edward.

As she began putting on her underwear, she suddenly said something that made Edward freeze.

"You really messed up Edward and I would stop at nothing till I make a mess of you. Watch me show our sex tape to Mr Louis "

Edward who was about to turn to walk out of the room froze when he heard that.

"Ohh, you asked for sex and I gave you. What else do you want?"

"Oh, I asked for sex. I did not ask you to kill me," she scoffed as she did her buttons.

Edward's expression turned ghastly.

Cindy had finished putting on her clothes now and when she made to walk past Edward, Edward suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

She flung her hands with all her might, in a bid to free her arm from his hold while casting daggers at him. If eyes could kill, Edward would already be twelve feet below the ground.

But no matter how hard she tried, Edward refused to let go.

"You can't show him that video," he scoffed and made to snatch her phone.

Anyways, she laughed and said, "You think I would be dumb enough to only have that on just my phone? Fool!"

When Edward heard this, he immediately stopped trying to get her phone.

He stopped struggling with her and instead looked at her with a less arrogant expression this time.

Then he began to reason with her.

"You will also be in trouble with Mr Louis if you show him that, Cindy," he said but Cindy laughed and stated, "As long as you're in trouble, it's fine."

Edward's face fell.

He really did not want such to happen. Mr Louis could even start suspecting them for everything that had been recently happening to Daisy. It's fine if Cindy is suspected but he shouldn't.

He knows nothing about these things after all.

"Cindy, come on," Edward's voice and tone had now softened. Even still, she was still stubbornly trying to get her arm out of his grip, her teeth clenched and her face twisted in anger.

Feeling torn, he began to reason with her again.

"Let's agree on a time and place tomorrow, Cindy. I'll make love to you," Edward said with a gulp while Cindy cast him a disdainful look.

"You're the only one with a dick down there Edward. I can get sex whenever I want and I don't need you for that," she scoffed still trying to pull off her arm.

Edward wasn't ready to let go either and by now, he had become desperate.

"I know. Just telling you we can have sex again for real. Cindy?"

Looking at his expression and seeing how serious and pleading he looked, Cindy could not help but burst out laughing.

Then she chuckled before saying, "At night at your place next tomorrow."

"Can't come over tomorrow, cause I have to at least recover from this first," she glared at him.

Breathing out a relieved sigh, Edward finally let go of her.

Cindy eyed him and hissed before limping out.

It was minutes after he left that he suddenly realized Cindy suddenly having to limp was questionable and his eyes

widened.

"No one knew we were in here, right?"

Edward walked back into the ward, his mind screwed up.

Even now, he was finding it difficult to believe what had happened between him and Cindy at the restroom, just in the space of about thirty minutes.

If he has known that would happen, he would not have stepped out in the first place.

Now he felt like an asshole and hypocrite.

Stepping into the ward, he scanned the room and was surprised to see just Mr Louis and Violet by Daisy's side. No, Cindy.

Mr Louis glanced at Edward, concern etched on his face.

"Edward, where have you been? Is everything alright?"

But then, he casually replied, "I just needed some fresh air, that's all. I stepped out for a little while and was on the balcony."

Unknown to him, someone had seen him come out of the restroom. Violet, who had also stepped out briefly and had only returned a few minutes ago had witnessed Edward leaving the restroom. She couldn't help but feel puzzled by his response.

'Why was he lying?'

'I saw him come out of the restroom. Why would he say he was just on the balcony getting fresh air? Or is there a balcony in the restroom?' she began to wonder.

Mr Louis, unaware of anything did not notice anything wrong or harmful.

"Did you see Cindy?" Mr Louis suddenly asked.

Edward's breath caught in his throat when he heard that and his heart raised.

'Did he notice anything???'

Subtly, he glanced down at that lower part of his body to check if anything was wrong but everything seemed normal.

"No I didn't," he lied again, shaking his head casually as he drew nearer, trying to be as natural as possible to maintain his facade.

"I haven't seen her since I left the ward," he added.

Violet, could not help but feel intrigued. She had clearly seen Cindy limp out of the restroom, followed by Edward a few minutes later. How could he have missed her?

Although the restroom had separate cubicles for males and females, Violet found it hard to believe that Edward hadn't crossed paths with Cindy or seen her at all.

Feeling even more suspicious, she began to watch Edward closely.

'These don't add up. He's definitely hiding something which probably has to do with whatever happened at the restroom since it's something he can't say and even had to lie about. Why lie about such a simple thing?'

"She received a call from the hospital where Rose is that her attention is urgently needed so she had to leave. She left already," Mr Louis said.

"Ohhh," was all Edward said as he stared down at a pale-looking Daisy feeling extremely guilty.

Well, that was a relief for Edward. It wasn't more than that.

But then, Mr Louis suddenly added something that caught his breath in his throat again

"She was limping when she came in," he had said.

Edward froze and his eyes widened slightly. Even his body stiffened.

His eyes were fixed on Daisy so nobody saw that but Violet who now had her eyes on him and watching him closely had seen all those reactions and now she was one hundred people sure something was wrong.

"She said she sprained her ankle," Mr Louis said.

Edward unconsciously breathed out a relieved sign once more and all the air he had held in.

And while the ward went back to being solemn, Violet's suspicions against Edward and Cindy had heightened. She seriously believed there was a puzzle and it made her feel sick to her stomach somehow.

But right now, what is more, important than Daisy regaining consciousness and her health?

Well, Cindy said she sprained her ankle is only a lie to leave the place and reduce suspicions of why she was suddenly limping. Even though she had lied she only sprained her ankle lightly, that might not be able to sustain her for too long.

Getting off people's sight was the best option for her.

It was a good thing Edward fell for her threat cause how would she show such a video to Mr Louis and also put herself in trouble?

But anyways, she now has Edward wrapped around her finger.
