Love in the Limelight (Astrid and Elio)

Chapter 190

Astrid glanced around the room; looking like it had survived a disaster. Astrid was nursing a headache.

“Did I ever tell you that all medicines should be made fresh and drunk on the same day? He’s got

poison in him. If the medicine is expired, it’ll have toxins. If he drinks it, of course, he’ll have problems.”

“Why aren’t you rushing off to brew the medicine again?” Astrid glared at Jon. Jon immediately dashed

into the kitchen to prepare the

medicine.

It took Astrid a considerable amount of time to calm Colton down.

Looking at Colton, who was dozing off on the recliner, Astrid bent down to tidy up the messy room. Just

as she turned around, a deep voice came from behind her. “Astrid.”

Astrid quickly turned around to see Colton, who was supposed to be asleep, was wide awake and

looking at her.

His eyes were clear and bright.

“Colton, are you awake?” Astrid asked, then Colton across from her nodded.

Seeing a not–so–dumb Colton, Astrid felt a bit out of place.

Colton glanced at the messy room and slightly shook his head. “Astrid, I want to tell you something.”

“Hmm?” Astrid quirked a curious eyebrow. “What is it?”

“Actually, the day Sandra brought you to my room, I was sober.” At Colton’s words, Astrid’s heart

tightened.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She had always thought she was smart but hadn’t seen through Colton’s act.

This guy’s acting skills were seriously top–notch.

Seeing Astrid’s surprised expression, Colton gave a small smile. “Sometimes I’m awake; sometimes

I’m dazed. But in front of Farrah, I’ve been playing dumb for twenty–three years. So it’s normal that you

didn’t catch on.”

Astrid pushed some things away behind her chair and sat down. “You should consider yourself lucky

that you didn’t make any inappropriate moves on me, otherwise, you would have been knocked down

on the spot.”

“I know,” Colton stood up, taking a deep sigh. “Thank you, Astrid. If not for you, I might be dead by

now.”

Astrid shrugged. “I don’t want to get involved in your family affairs. I helped you because you consider

me a friend.”

“In return, I’ll tell you a secret.” Colton’s gaze deepened. “Four and a half years ago, I saw you.”

Astrid’s heart clenched. “You saw me? Where?”

“At Misen International Hotel. You were drunk, and someone carried you into the hotel. Because you

slipped from their shoulder and fell, I saw your face…”

“What did the person carrying me look like? Do you remember any distinct features?” Astrid stood up

immediately. “Colton, think carefully. This is very important to me!”

Colton furrowed his brows, “I’m sorry, the person was wearing a mask; I didn’t see his face. But he was

very tall, about 1.95 meters. I was only sober for a short while and quickly became groggy.”

Whenever Colton was sober, he would remember the astonishing face he saw that day.

The day Sandra brought someone in, he recognized her right away.

From the beginning, he never had any intention to harm her.

“Very tall?” Astrid frowned. The feature of being ‘very tall‘ wasn’t very distinctive and wasn’t very

helpful.

After pondering for a few seconds, Astrid suddenly remembered something and looked up quickly. “Did

he have a mole on his left eyebrow?”

“A mole?” Colton frowned.

After about ten seconds, he nodded vigorously, pointing to the spot above his left eyebrow. “Right here,

a raised black mole. Big!”

Astrid felt a shock go through her, her body instantly going cold.

It was him!!!
