Life After Prison

Jada frowned and said, “I’ve been wondering who it was that hired the trio on the day of the Liberty City launching. It would’ve cost a lot of money to hire three people at once, so could it have been Rufus?”

“It could be, but we can’t even consider relying on other people. We’ll be in big trouble if Severin wins Sheila’s heart anytime soon. After all, his beef is with us, and none of us will be able to escape his wrath once he secures power!” Edward pointed out.

At that moment, Severin had finished his walk with Sheila and they finally returned to his villa. Once they were back, Severin looked at the time and said to her, “I’ll be busy tonight, Miss Sheila, but I can drive you home. Regarding your father’s illness, you can rest assured that I’ll check him soon, but based on my preliminary judgment, it’s likely that he has been poisoned!”

“Poisoned? That’s not funny at all! How did he get poisoned? He’s always been in good health, but he’s recently been a little weak, especially his limbs, but there aren’t any other symptoms. If a person is poisoned, shouldn’t they die or at least suffer some serious effects?” Sheila gasped. She then remembered something and said, “By the way, my dad went for a physical examination a few days ago, and there was nothing wrong with him. Could you have been mistaken?”

Severin shook his head. “I haven’t done a careful examination yet, but I’m about seventy to eighty percent sure of it. I’ll go over and check his condition once I have some free time in the coming days, but not to worry, I can definitely cure it!”

“Okay. Since you’re busy tonight, I’d appreciate it if you could drive me back!” Sheila nodded. She had already asked the bodyguards to drive the car away in the hopes that Severin would drive her home.

While Severin was at the wheel, Sheila stole a few glances at him from the front passenger seat.

When she was already about to arrive home, Sheila pursed her red lips and said shyly, “Severin. ….why do you get more and more handsome the more I look at you? My attraction toward you. grows even more whenever I lay eyes on you. This is how it feels to fall in love, right? Is this what it means when they say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Severin did not expect that Sheila would say such a thing, and he immediately smiled awkwardly and explained, “I don’t think so? Love is when your heart beats wildly whenever you see the person. Love is when you can’t eat or sleep well if you didn’t meet the other person. That’s the feeling of being in love. You’d also have to know and understand each other for a long time before you can be certain that you love each other.” Having said that, Severin. immediately added, “For example, those who have known each other a short time won’t feel that way!”

“Hmph! I don’t believe your nonsense!” Sheila snorted coldly, folded her hands over her chest, and said again. “Then tell me: am I pretty?”

Severin was speechless and could only say, “Well, you are!”

“Since you think I’m pretty, you can like me too! I like you too, and I think we should get to

know each other more and see where things take us, don’t you agree?” As soon as Sheila heard Severin tell her that she was good-looking, she immediately turned her head and looked at Severin with a smile.
