Chapter 11
In the VIP ward, Hunter was peeling an apple for Eleanor.
“Eleanor, you can be discharged today. I will pick you up and take you back to the villa by South Lake.”
Upon hearing Hunter say this, Eleanor was overjoyed and immediately clung to his arm, acting coquettishly.
“I knew it, Hunter is the best to me. You like me the most, don’t you?”
“You have been staying by my side these days. Won’t Lena sister be angry? It’s all my fault that you two had a fight.”
“I didn’t want to either. Hunter, you know I didn’t do it on purpose. I don’t have Lena’s family background, so when I was bullied, only you could protect me.”
“Can you always protect me?”
She blinked her bright eyes, reminding Hunter of Lena’s cold expression. This time, he didn’t hesitate and kissed Eleanor on the lips.
“Of course, this time it was also my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have suffered such a serious injury.”
“You wait, when you have recovered from your injury, I will make Lena come and apologize to you.”
Speaking of Lena, Hunter suddenly remembered that he hadn’t heard from her since the last time they met at home.
With this in mind, he took out his phone, opened WeChat, Lena’s profile picture hadn’t changed much, but it seemed like her Moments were

hidden from him.
The conversation with Lena still lingered in the chat box from a few weeks ago. Her last message was to defend that she didn’t do it, but Hunter never replied again.
This was too abnormal.
Based on Lena’s personality, even if they have a fight and stop talking to each other, they will never go more than three days without contacting each other.
In the past, it was always Hunter who took the initiative to apologize to
her and her, even if it was Lena’s fault. She relied on him to pamper always waited for him to back down.
But this time, he had not contacted her for so long, and she surprisingly remained silent.
Sure enough, she was throwing another princess tantrum. Hunter chuckled to himself.
“What are you looking at? Eleanor asked, suspicious as Hunter had been unresponsive for so long.”
“It’s nothing, I’ll go get your discharge paperwork done, he said, getting up and leaving the hospital room.”
After being discharged from the hospital, Hunter bought her a large bouquet of flowers and had the butler pick her up in a super long limousine, giving Eleanor plenty of face.
After entering the villa, Eleanor was very excited. This villa was much larger than the one she and Lena lived in. She always had to outdo her in everything, so naturally she was extremely pleased.
“Hunter, can I really stay here? Ms. Steele won’t be angry, will she?”
Seeing her look so cautious, Hunter felt pity.
“Of course, don’t worry about her. There is no more Lena in the future. This is our home.”
“Starting tomorrow, you don’t need to be my secretary anymore. I will support you.”
With that, he held Eleanor in his arms and kissed her.
Later, Eleanor wrapped her legs around his waist, encircled his neck, closed her eyes, and Hunter instantly felt a rush of heat as he carried her up to the master bedroom on the second floor, where they were entwined in endless passion.
From then on, Hunter would rush to this villa as soon as he got off work. Without Lena’s obstruction, the two of them no longer needed to hide.
The week passed in such debauchery, yet there was still no news from
Lena.
In the company, Hunter finally noticed something was wrong.
He had his assistant check her credit card transaction records, all of which were from a few weeks ago.
This is so strange, Lena never left home without her credit card.
Did she have an accident?
This terrible thought kept circling in Hunter’s mind, causing him to daydream all afternoon and not do his work properly.
In the end, he decided to go back to their house and see what was really going on with her.
That evening, he called Eleanor in advance and said he had to work overtime for the company. Then he took the car keys and drove to the

place he hadn’t visited in a long time.
As the sky darkened, the sports car raced all the way to the former residence. Hunter was surprised to find that not a single light was on in the house. This was really strange.
At that moment, he felt as if there were drums beating in his heart, and his hands were shaking as he entered the password.
The door was open, and the room was eerily quiet.
