Chapter 255
Nate had known Keith for years, and this was the first time he’d seen him put this much effort into someone besides Alyssa. He’d honestly thought Keith would stay single forever.
Now Keith finally had someone by his side. That was definitely worth celebrating.
The thought made Nate feel a lot better. His fun night had been cut short, but he could live with that,
Nate sighed, “Alright, if anything happens tonight, just call me.”
Keith finished tidying up and headed back to the bedroom. Serena was lying peacefully on the bed, fast asleep. Relief washed over him as he settled into the chair by the bed.
He wasn’t planning to sleep tonight. He had no idea if Serena might have another episode later, and he’d only feel at ease if he stayed here to watch over
her.
The night passed without him realizing it. When Serena opened her eyes again, she stared at the unfamiliar room in confusion for a few seconds before memories of the previous night came flooding back.
She bolted upright in bed.
“What’s wrong, Seri?” Keith walked in holding a glass of milk, and seeing Serena like this, he immediately went over and wrapped her in his arms. “It’s okay now. What happened yesterday is over.”
Looking at Keith, Serena felt fear wash over her. Thank God nothing had happened last night.
She’d worked so hard to get where she was today. She couldn’t let herself be destroyed by something like this.
“I’m sorry. I should have protected you better. I should have been more careful. I knew Winnie had designs on you, but I still let you out of my sight.” Keith gently patted her back. “But don’t worry, I’m here. Nothing happened last night.”
Serena’s body trembled slightly. Keith felt even more guilty, and after a long moment, she said, “How can this be your fault? I’m the one who wasn’t careful. I walked into that room without checking what was going on inside first. Otherwise none of this would have happened.”
Serena still remembered last night. Even though she’d been groggy from the drugs, she remembered everything that came after.
Keith hadn’t taken advantage of her despite the effects of the drug. Serena was already grateful for that.
“It’s over now.” Keith’s gentle voice whispered in her ear. If anyone saw the usually decisive Keith acting softly with Serena, they’d probably be shocked.
“So what happened after that? Did you really lock Winnie and that guy together?” Serena asked.
Last night’s memories felt hazy and unclear. Serena couldn’t tell if what she remembered was real or just her imagination.
“Yeah, it’s true. I was so pissed off that I locked them in together,” Keith said, overseeing Serena. “Do you think that was wrong?”
Serena caught the uncertainty in his voice and immediately shook her head.
She might be good-natured, but she wasn’t a pushover. After what Winnie had done to her, Serena wasn’t about to forgive easily.
“I thought you’d think I was being cruel,” Keith said.
Serena shook her head again. “It’s just giving her a taste of her own medicine. Though I wonder what it’ll be like seeing her today.”
“I already called in sick for you. You shouldn’t go in today.”
