Chapter 107 Sister-In-Law

• As Christopher’s fingers slid away from Diane’s face, her body turned stiff under the sheets. So he didn’t pick up any of my calls even though I called so many times because he was with Queenie? The odd pause when I called Scott earlier was also because he was trying to cover up for him? The smell of disinfectant is unique to hospitals. In other words, he was in the hospital all day today, from morning until midnight. It shows how intimate they are for them to spend so much time together. Even if something were to happen to me, he wouldn’t necessarily spend that much time with me at the hospital, Diane thought, overwhelmed with jealousy. When she heard the click of the light turning off, she opened her eyes slowly and turned to stare at Christopher, who had already spun around and was going into the bathroom.
• No longer feeling any sleepiness, she stared in the direction of the bathroom without blinking while listening to the light sounds of water flowing and splashing. About fifteen minutes later, the sound of water stopped, followed by the bathroom door opening and the sound of Christopher’s footsteps slowly approaching her.
• Once again, she closed her eyes and returned to her previous sleeping position, not moving a muscle. Then, she felt the bed sinking slightly and a warm body drawing close to her until she felt an arm embracing her around her waist lightly.
