Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 433

Leo trained until eight o’clock at night. Even with the air conditioning on in the gym, he collapsed on the

floor, drenched in sweat, feeling as if someone had taken a hammer to his bones.

Chad, for all his tough talk, took an hour off when evening rolled around, heading to the hospital to visit

his girl.

The Cedillo’s had come by in the afternoon. Naomi had wanted to stay but when Coleen appeared, she

knew a mother’s presence was preferred. And so, Naomi left.

Chad sat by the bed, holding Molly’s hand with the IV drop in it. “How many bags of fluid have they

given you today?”

“Four. Chad, can you stay tonight?”

“No.” Chad knew what she was about to ask before she even said it. She wanted him to stay with her.

Molly withdrew her hand, angry that Chad wouldn’t stay.

Chad looked down at his empty palm, and then back at her. “Don’t get on my bad side, Molly. Andre

had to punish Mia yesterday. Don’t make me do the same to you.”

He threatened her, but also left his hand open, waiting for her to return her hand to his. Molly was

smart. She knew what he wanted. Frustrated, Molly returned her hand to Chad’s.

Chad gripped her soft hand, feeling as if he was holding his own heart.

Coleen felt a little unwell from recent stress and told Chad, “Stay with Molly for a while. I’ll be back in

half an hour.”

She left, taking Grandma Aubree with her.

Now alone, Chad moved closer to Molly’s bed. Molly looked up at him. Her heart was pounding. “Chad,

I really like you.”

Chad laughed. “So you don’t love me anymore? You just like me?”

Molly couldn’t look into Chad’s eyes for too long. She was afraid she’d lose herself. “No, I love you too.”

Chad commanded, “Remove the ‘too’, and say it again.”

Molly blushed and tried to avoid Chad’s gaze. “You say it first.”

Chad chuckle. “It’s you who loves me.”

Molly’s face turned redder. She mumbled, “I love you.”

Chad looked at her, pleased. “I love you too.”

In the evening, the nurse didn’t come by. But Chad still kept a distance from Molly, fearing he might

make a mistake and scare her.

“Stay with me tonight if you love me.”

“Why do you need me here?”

Molly said, “I feel safe when you’re here. I can sleep well.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Chad saw through her. “Or do you just want to keep me tied to your side, ensuring I get some sleep?”

Chad had been promoted recently, so his workload had increased. He hadn’t been getting proper rest

for several days.

Molly was worried about him, which was why she wanted him to stay.

When Coleen returned, she found Molly leaning against Chad. “I should buy you some super glue, stick

you right to your brother.”

Molly retorted, “Sure, mom. Just make sure it’s good quality, strong enough to last into the next life.”

Chad stood up. “I need to go back to the station, mom.”

“Chad, remember what you said.”

After Chad left, Coleen asked Molly, “What did you make your brother promise?”

“Just that he’d get some rest.”

On his way back, Chad received a call. “Holly’s missing too.”

Chad asked, “Did Finley say anything?”

Donnie looked at the captive Finley. “Not a word.”

Chad asked, “Did Brian come through for questioning?”

“On the way back.”

Chad reassured Donnie, “Don’t worry. I’ll handle it.”

Since the police had captured Finley, Bruce had been meeting with higher-ups. He’d warned Finley not

to cross him, and now that he had him, he wouldn’t let him go. Draмanovels.cоm

He and Chad had a common goal. So, when someone tried to undermine Chad, Bruce was there to

back him up. His father wasn’t one to be trifled with.

Now, his top priority was to crack the case as soon as possible.

Chad wouldn’t dare waste a minute.
