Chapter 206: You’re A Coward
Emily’s heart raced as she knocked on Callan’s bedroom door with one hand, while she held the tray and balanced it against her body with the other arm.
When there was no response she knocked again and called out, "Callan?"
Callan still did not respond, so she opened the door, and walked in. She looked around the room and when she didn’t see him, it occurred to her that he was in the bathroom.
She decided to set the food on his nightstand and leave, but just as she was setting down the tray, something caught her attention.
It was the white unicorn figurine she had gifted him six years ago. She smiled, glad to see that he had kept it all this while and it was beside his bed.
Her heart clenched when memories of what had happened between them shortly after came back to her, and she shook her head.
No. Keeping it by his bedside wasn’t a big deal. She could only imagine the number of times he had brought ladies into this room and how much immorality the poor figurine had witnessed.
Did he ever think of her each time he brought a girl over and saw the figurine? Did it remind him of what had happened between them? Or was it just a fancy piece of art to him?
She turned to leave but her eyes fell on the several bottles of pills beside the figurine and she frowned as she let her curiosity get the best of her and she went around the bed to see what the pills were meant for.
She bent down and picked up three of the bottles. Her brows pulled together when she saw they were different sleeping pills.
Were his nightmares so bad that he needed to take sleeping pills? Just what did he dream about? She wondered.
Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Callan stepped out.
