Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 890 Feeling Guilty

Queeny stood up and greeted Ella with a big hug.

“Finally, Queeny! I’m so glad to see you unhurt. I was so worried about you.”

She was still shivering with fright in Queeny arms.

Holding her, Queeny felt somewhat guilty.

She knew that Ella was just an innocent girl who had never experienced kidnapping in her life.

It was because of her that Ella had got into such trouble.

The guilty feeling building up, Queeny patted Ella on the shoulder and cooed, “There, there, all is fine

now.”

Still sobbing, Ella lifted her head from Queeny’s shoulder.

Wiping her tears, she asked, “Queeny, what’s it all about?”

Queeny threw a chilly look at Ramon, who was standing at the door.

“Nothing. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.”

Seeing that Queeny had been eyeing him with hostility, Ramon recognized that he was unwelcome

here, so he shrugged and went out. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Queeny went over to shut the door.

Not until she was sure that their conversation would not be overheard did she return. Having

scrutinized Ella carefully and made sure that she hadn’t suffered any injury or abuse, Queeny heaved a

sigh of relief.

She took Ella’s hand, sat with her on the bed, and asked, “How are you? Did they make you suffer?”

Ella shook her head.

It could be told from her expressions that she had been traumatized.

But she struggled to put on a calm exterior so that Queeny wouldn’t feel anxious or guilty.

Her efforts only made Queeny all the more disturbed.

Ella said, “I’m all right. They just locked me away without abusing me, but they wouldn’t tell me

anything about you. I was mad with worry.”

Seeing her crying like that, Queeny was filled with pity.

She rubbed Ella’s head to comfort her. “There, there, everything’s OK.”

She patted Ella on her back to ease her sobs.

Ella looked up at her with grave apprehension.

“Queeny, who are these people? Why did they get us here?”

Queeny frowned and thought for a second, then decided not to tell Ella the truth lest she be frightened.

She explained in a soft voice, “They’re from another party. They’ve got me here because of my private

affairs. You’ve only been brought along incidentally, so they won’t hurt you. Don’t worry.”

Ella shook her head promptly.

“I’m not worrying about myself, but about you…”

Queeny smiled.

“No need to fret about me. Have you ever seen me taken advantage of?”

Ella couldn’t think of any such occasion.

She gave a relaxed laugh.

“Queeny, you’re the cream of the crop. Nobody can have the upper hand over you!”

Queeny nodded and said to her, “So if I ever spot a chance to escape, you must go as I tell you. Do

you understand?”

Ella’s laugh froze.

Queeny paid no heed to her and continued, “I am the one they want, so I can’t escape for the moment.

I’m no match for all these people. But you have a chance. I’ll tell them to let you go, and as soon as you

leave here, go to the castle to tell Felix about my situation. Never hesitate for the sake of me,

remember that?”

Ella’s expressions changed.

She shook her head violently and said, “No, I can’t leave you behind.”

Queeny frowned.

“You’re not leaving me behind. It’s better to go out for help than to be stuck here together.”

Saying that, Queeny glanced out of the window, feeling an invisible eye in the infinite darkness

watching her every move.

She didn’t know why, but she did feel very insecure at this place.

Sarah had already died because of her, so she would try her best to keep Ella from danger.

All men are born equal. She wouldn’t allow one more person to lose his life for her.

She set her lips in a line and said to Ella suddenly, “To tell you the truth, the man who brought you here

just now can probably be my biological brother. We lost touch with each other when we were small and

didn’t meet until now. He’s eager to take me back, but I won’t acknowledge him because of some past

conflicts.”

“What happened in between can be a bit complicated, and you don’t have to know that. All you need to

know is that he won’t kill me easily, so you don’t need to worry about my safety.”

“What we need to do now is make our situation known to our people. Go to Felix after you leave here,

and he’ll manage to get me out, all right?”

Ella stared at her and nodded after a good while.

“All right.”

Having paused for a second, she said, “But…how can I get out of here?’

Queeny contemplated it for a moment.

Actually, even now she wasn’t totally convinced that Ramon was telling the truth.

But the hazy memories were indeed there in her mind. If her memory hadn’t tricked her, they could very

probably be brother and sister.

Ramon might have captured her for more reasons than the one he had claimed, but it was doubtless

that he wouldn’t kill her for now.

There must be a reason why Ramon was so eager to get her acknowledge their relation.

With these thoughts, Queeny said, “I’ll think of a way. We can pretend to do as he says, but we won’t

let him get his way.”

She looked at Ella and said in a low voice, “We’ll have to count on you. Do stay safe.”

Ella gave her a serious nod.

For the sake of their safety, Queeny asked Ella to stay and sleep in her room.

It was already late morning when they woke up the next day.

Ella had woken earlier than Queeny and already got dressed.

Seeing Queeny up, Ella chirped, “Good morning, Queeny! Shall I get you water for grooming?”

Queeny nodded.

Ella had prepared the toothpaste for her. Having groomed herself, Queeny cast a glance at her face in

the mirror.

It might have been her illusion, but she felt the face somewhat strange.
