Boyfriend Let His Side Chick Ruin My Painting, Now He Regrets. novel Chapter 40

Chloe POV:

We came back from the private Island this morning. Shawn was the one who escorted me back to the mansion. When I arrived I went to the kitchen and was greeted by the worried face of Jess and the tears stricken face of Eli.

It worried me to no end seeing them in this condition. They haven't noticed me yet. I neared them and asked.

"What happened? Why are you crying?"

They both looked at me, Jess became more worried and Eli started crying more. They both were not saying a single word. I started to feel uneasy by now.

"Tell me what happened?" I asked panicked.

Jess came towards me, held my arms and said. "N-Nothing. You might be tired you should take rest."

"What are you hiding? Tell me?" I asked.

Eli spoke up while crying.

"Ethan got shot." She sobbed.

I felt like someone has thrown me in an ice-cold water. My vision started to get blurry. I stumbled back a little only to be held by Jess immediately.

"He's in the Hospital. Nobody is telling us anything."

She cried more. (He should have to be fine.) I held Eli's hand and hugged her, while saying soothing words.

"He'll be fine. Don't worry." I spoke.

I started walking towards the guest room with Eli. I made her lay on the bed and covered her with blanket. I stayed there with her until she slept after crying.

I made my way towards the kitchen and told Jess that Eli slept. She also went in the same guest room in which Eli slept. After, thanking me.

Now I know why Andrew was worried in the morning. I can't just stay here. I made my way towards the entrance door. I opened it only to come face to face with Andrew. We were close, so I moved a step back to which he came inside.

I told him the first thing that came in my mind.

"I want to see Ethan." I spoke.

His gaze met mine and he spoke.

"I can't take you. But rest assured he's fine." He spoke.

"Please, I want to meet him." I insist.

He heaved a sigh while brushing his fingers in his thick locks. And said.

"Come, I'll show you something." He spoke.

He held my hand and started walking to which I just followed him silently. We came to his room, and he made me sit on the couch.

He called someone on his phone and talked, after a while he handed me his phone and I looked at him blankly, the beeping of phone drew my attention. I saw the caller id and it was Ethan, it was the video call. I looked at Andrew and then back at the phone.
