Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1802

"I'm so lucky."

Kurt forced a smile, trying to break the heavy silence. "My legs aren't ruined. I won't be a burden to you for the rest of my life, haha."

Ebony Fox's face remained icy, her sharp eyes boring into him.

If looks were swords, he'd be riddled with holes by now.

Since she wasn't smiling, Kurt didn't dare act cocky. He quickly reeled in his grin.

"Tell me, whose idea was it?" Ebony Fox pulled up a chair and sat down. With her long legs crossed, she emanated a terrifyingly cold aura. "Yours, or Juniper's?"

Kurt stayed silent, his brain fighting a war with itself. He definitely couldn't sell out Juniper.

He opened his mouth and said cautiously, "It was my idea."

"I figured it was a good opportunity, so I convinced Juniper to play along with me..."

As he spoke, he started to stumble over his words. "And then... it... turned out like this."

As he finished the last syllable, he swallowed hard, completely guilt-ridden.

Listening to him finish, Ebony Fox stood up and turned to leave.

"Ebony Fox!"

Startled, Kurt frantically reached out to grab her hand. In his panic, he pulled a little too hard and tugged his wound. "Ah—"

He let out a cry of pain, all the color draining from his face until it was ash-white.

"Are you okay?"

Scared, Ebony Fox immediately leaned over, her eyes filled with worry. "Hold on, I'll go get the doctor."

"Don't go."

Kurt took the chance to wrap his arms around her, his voice pleading. "Ebony Fox, don't leave."

Hearing his strained words, Ebony Fox's lips twitched in helpless resignation. "I wasn't leaving. I was just going to pour you some water."

His lips were all chapped; he needed a drink.

"Really?"

Kurt kept holding onto her, breathing in the familiar scent at her neck. He mumbled, "I'm terrified of you leaving me. Really terrified."
