Chapter 85 Stay for a Night

However, Serina did not say anything. No matter what Ainsley asked, Serina just tugged at the corner of her clothes and refused to let

1. go.

"She might be too dependent on you," Manuel looked at Ainsley apologetically.

Although it was very strange, Ainsley still just allowed Serina to pull her clothes.

"It doesn't matter. She should be very insecure right now. She wants to replace someone to stay with her."

It was already very late. Seeing Serina like this, Ainsley was worried about her. "Why don't you let Serina live here with me tonight?"

When Manuel was in the car, he had been thinking about this problem, but he knew that Ainsley was injured too.

"You are injured. How can you take care of her? Let me take her back." Manuel looked at Ainsley's swollen legs.

Moreover, it was very difficult to control Serina when she was sick today, and Manuel could hardly control her. Moreover, if he left, it would be even harder for Ainsley to control Serina alone. But no one expected that when Manuel intended to pull Serina away, Serina would cry again.

Serina wasn't wailing, but rather pitifully curling up in the corner, holding her thigh and sobbing. No one could bear to see Serina like

this.

Serina was even muttering, "Don't go. Don't leave, Ainsley."

When Ainsley heard that, her heart softened. "Alright, let her stay. Look at her. She won't make a fuss like this."

"I'm afraid that something will happen to her. I will stay here for a night and sleep on the sofa. Call me if you need me."

Ainsley wanted to refuse, but looking at his tired face, she knew that Manuel had done too many things today.

"You don't have to sleep on the sofa. Serina and I will sleep in my room. There is a guest bedroom. The bedding is in the cabinet. You can make the bed yourself."

Manuel said seriously, "Thank you."

Ainsley smiled. "You're welcome. You helped me today."

She was really grateful to Manuel for the Quiz Show and the infirmary.

The night was getting darker, and Serina had already fallen asleep.

However, Ainsley could not fall asleep even after tossing and turning. Serina's reaction today was too abnormal. If Serina's illness

was because she recalled the fear in her heart, then why did she still want to see Ainsley after waking up a little?

And why could Serina still rely on Ainsley even though she was clearly in the past?

What exactly happened to Serina?

Ainsley couldn't fall asleep. Her legs, which had already been smeared with burn cream twice, were gradually no longer hurting. Other than the terrifying redness and swelling, the place where her skin shed was no longer frightening.

Feeling thirsty, Ainsley propped herself up from the bed and walked out of the room. However, the figure sitting on the sofa gave her a fright.

"Manuel?" Ainsley called out tentatively.

The figure turned around. Manuel's eyes were full of worry. When he saw Ainsley, he smiled symbolically. "Why aren't you sleeping yet?”

"I can't sleep. So I come out and drink some water." Ainsley held the table beside her.

Manuel nodded after hearing this. Then he stood up and went to the kitchen to get a glass of warm water and handed it to Ainsley.

"Drink it."

"Thank you."

"Are you worried?" Ainsley took the glass and slowly walked to the other side of the sofa.

"Can you cure Serina, Aisy?" he asked.

Ainsley drank some water and put the glass on the coffee table. "When I saw Serina fall ill today, I was not sure. I even wondered if I had overestimated my ability before agreeing to treat Serina. However, after Serina and you came back, the feeling changed. This feeling is very strange, just like how her trust in me is not only based on me being Ainsley."

"Are you confident now?"

Ainsley nodded. "The most difficult obstacle between most psychologists and patients is not the cause of the patient's illness and

the form of the illness. The biggest obstacle is trust. If the patient can wholeheartedly trust the doctor, it would be easier to treat the patient. I saw it just now. She trusts me very much, and even depends on me."

"Sometimes, Serina is like a child, but it is difficult to distinguish the aura of everyone. You are very good to her, and she can feel it." "No, not just that." Ainsley looked serious, "I can feel that it is hard to build such deep trust since she and i-have only been together for

a short period of time. There must be some other reason. It's just that I don't know right now."

Manuel's hand trembled slightly, but his face did not reveal anything. "I believe in you, Aisy."

"By the way, how are you going to deal with Kaitlin's matter?"

"Leave it to the police. I have already sent all the evidence and video to them. The rest will naturally be handed over by the school.

However, Cason has always been asking his connections for help, but no one dares to respond."

When Manuel said this, he looked very calm. It seemed that no one should respond to this matter.

Ainsley nodded. Of course, she would not be so generous as to plead for Kaitlin.

"I always feel that Cason will not let this go. He will still look for you." Manuel's expression was ice-cold.

Impatience flashed through Ainsley's eyes. She hated Cason to the extent that she was disgusted. "I already told him about it. This matter is not up to me."

"I wonder if he has any self-knowledge." Manuel's eyes turned cold.

"Forget it. I'm going to bed. You'd better rest now." Ainsley picked up the glass and was about to go upstairs.

Seeing her limp, Manuel went over to support her. "I'll help you."

"Thanks, but no!" Ainsley jerked away, and the glass in her hand almost fell.

The moment she shook off Manuel's hand, the two of them looked at each other and awkwardly averted their gazes.

Ainsley hurriedly returned to her room and slammed the door shut. She panted deeply.

She didn't know about her feelings. Her heart trembled when Manuel touched her.

Ainsley subconsciously wanted to escape. Even her cheeks were red.

Manuel, who was left in the living room, had his eyes dim for a while. When he raised his eyes again, he stared at the door of Ainsley's

room with a burning gaze.

Finally, he sighed and left.

The next day, just as Ainsley woke up, she saw Serina curled up in the corner of the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt. She trembled and looked around in fear.

Ainsley called out tentatively, "Serina?"

"Shh Serina put her index finger on her lips.

Serina first looked around, then carefully said, 'Ainsley, don't speak loudly. They will replace us."

"Serina, who are they?" Ainsley asked softly.

"I don't know. They will kill us!" Serina suddenly covered her ears.

Ainsley walked over and held Serina's arm. "Serina, this is my home. We are very safe."

"But!" Tears welled up in Serina's eyes. She pointed at Ainsley's swollen leg and cried, "But, Ainsley, your leg is injured!"

"It's just a burn. Serina, it will be fine soon," Ainsley said gently.

Serina nodded and said, "Ainsley, you are right. Manuel will come and save us. I will be good."

After that, she buried herself in the quilt and pretended to fall asleep.
