Chapter 93:
Rupert stiffened. “What are you looking for? The key or something else p>
“Sorry p>
When Annabel realized what she had touched just now, her face turned as red as a tomato. She apologized in a hurry and started searching for the key in the opposite direction.
What was going on today? Was the universe determined to give her a hard time? Even the key had decided to hide from her! She reached into the deepest part of the pocket, but she still couldn’t find the damn key.
Annabel fumbled in Rupert’s pocket anxiously, but to no avail.
Through the cloth, Rupert could feel Annabel’s hand brushing against his thigh. Her touch sent waves of electricity through him, both excruciating and intoxicating.
“Rupert, where’s your key? There’s no key here p>
After a while, Annabel was so tired that she broke into a sweat. Still, Rupert was leaning on her.
He unhurriedly patted his pocket with his uninjured hand and frowned. It seemed that the key wasn’t there. After a moment, his expression darkened. “I just remembered, it’s in the other pocket p>

“Stay there first p>
Just as she was about to stand up, her legs buckled beneath her.

Annabel’s ears immediately turned red. She glared at him and snapped, “It’s all because you practically made me carry you all the way here p>
Rupert unhurriedly leaned back on the sofa and shrugged. “You kicked me p>
Annabel was speechless. She had never meant to kick him.
“Time for your medicine.” At a loss, Annabel decided to change the topic. She stood up, fetched the medicine the doctor had prescribed, and put it in front of Rupert. “One pill a night p>
Before she could finish her sentence, her stomach began to growl.
Rupert chuckled. “Hungry p>
Annabel was a little embarrassed. She had been busy all day and had forgotten to eat dinner. Indeed, she was famished.
“I’m hungry too. Let’s order some takeout.” As Rupert spoke, he took out his phone. “What do you want to eat p>
