Chapter 659 William's Brother
Chloe was full of confusion.
She understood every word the woman had said, but somehow, when they were put together, they didn't quite make sense to her.
"Please, only you can help me!"This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
The woman's voice had a hint of desperation, almost on the verge of tears, leaving Chloe feeling caught between a rock and a hard place.
It wasn't that she didn't want to help. However, she was pregnant and didn't know the exact size of underwear the woman needed. If she had to make another trip around the supermarket, she would be exhausted.
"I'll get a store employee to help you," Chloe offered.
She figured that the woman could explain her needs to an employee, and they would assist her.
Chloe washed her hands, and just as she was finishing, she saw a cleaner enter to tidy up. Chloe explained the situation to her and watched as the cleaner went to the neighboring stall to speak to the woman. Feeling relieved, Chloe decided to leave. She exited the restroom, and the men's room was right across from her.
When she stepped out, she almost collided with a man coming from the opposite direction. She looked up to apologize, but the moment she saw his face, she froze in surprise. "William?"
She thought, "What's William doing here? Is he also shopping for groceries?"
That man looked at her with a strange smile playing on his lips. In that instant, Chloe realized this wasn't William at all.
"Are you William's brother?"
She realized that the man was William's half-brother, who had tried several times to kill her.
The man raised an eyebrow. "You're not completely dumb."
His words immediately put Chloe on high alert. She took several steps back, her eyes fixed on him, her hand reaching into her bag where she kept a utility knife.
She had been wary of such situations ever since she arrived in Mamaica, so she always carried something for self-defense.
"What do you want? Stay back!"
Chloe spoke while trying to catch a glimpse of Michael outside the restroom, hoping he was nearby.
Unfortunately, the supermarket was a bit crowded today, and it seemed he was still checking out and not nearby.
The man grinned and leaned closer to Chloe as if trying to frighten her, waving his hand in front of her face. Chloe's heart skipped a beat.
The man seemed pleased with her reaction and threw his head back in laughter.
"You're quite amusing. I'm really curious to see how you'll react when you realize you're about to die."
Chloe didn't fully grasp what he was saying. Frowning, she demanded "What are you talking about? If you don'bleave now, I'll call for help."
The man raised both hands above t
his head, saying, "Don't be hasty. Didn't you just pass some toilet paper to someone in the restroom? Your wrist got cut, didn't it?"
Chloe was stunned. She thought, "How did he know what had happened in the restroom?
Well, the person in the stall next to mine must be working with him."
"Enjoy the feeling of being infected with HIV imagine the later stages will be quite unbearable. I really hope you can stay as pretty then as you are now."
With that, the man walked away with a smirk, leaving Chloe standing there, stunned and disoriented.
She thought, "What did he mean?
Was he saying that the cut on my wrist had been infected with HIV?"
The thought exploded in her mind like a bomb.
She thought, "What would I do if I really is infected with HIV? I'm pregnant. Would my baby be infected, too?"
She stared at the tiny wound on her wrist, which had started to redden even though it hadn't bled at first. Fear began to swell in her mind.
