StarNovelChapter 745:
“Captain, I'll take him to clean up that wound,” Freya declared, her brow furrowed with concern over potential
infection, aware that wounds tended to heal slower in the chilly embrace of winter.
Kristian visibly relaxed, a faint sigh escaping his lips.
He was grateful that she didn’t pry for more details; had she asked, he would've been at a loss for words.
“I'll handle it,” Ellis interjected, already striding toward them with the first aid kit in hand. He reached for
Kristian’s hand, intending to apply siodine.
Instinctively, Kristian jerked his hand away, his discomfort evident in the tight set of his shoulders.
Freya opened her mouth to speak, but before she could, Kristian muttered, “I'll just rinse it with water.”
With those words, he swiftly exited, retreating to Freya's apartment before she could intervene.
She stood there, puzzled and concerned, watching his retreating figure.
Turning to Ellis, she sought answers, her voice laced with confusion. “What were you two discussing downstairs?
How did he end up falling?”
“Take a guess,” Ellis responded, a mischievous glint dancing in his eyes as his lips curled into a teasing smile.
Freya was taken aback, her mind reeling. Since when had Ellis adopted such a playful demeanor?

“Don’t let his innocent act fool you,” Ellis went on in a languid tone, the smirk never leaving his face. “He’s got a
way of always competing for your affection.”
“Competing for my affection?” Freya furrowed her brows, uncertain if she had heard right.
“You could say that,” Ellis replied with a shrug, the edge of amusement in his tone betraying his nonchalance.
“He gets jealous when you're with me. Or maybe...” He glanced at her lazily. “He just doesn’t want to share you.”

Freya paused, a puzzled look crossing her face. “But he’s practically a child, isn’t he? His understanding is that of
a five-year-old.”
Ellis leaned back slightly, his expression unreadable. “I think it might be wise to discuss this with Lawrence,” he
suggested, his voice dropping to a soothing murmur. “There's more to this than meets the eye. Haven't you
noticed how clingy he is with you?”
Freya paused, her mind replaying the little moments between them—Kristian’s possessiveness, the way his
mood shifted when she gave someone else attention.
“Most five-year-old kids still cry for their parents,” Ellis added thoughtfully. “But he doesn’t. He clings to you like
you're the only one in the world that matters. That's not normal.”
“Mina, perhaps he feels a sense of guilt towards you, prompting him to seek your presence more,” Ethel chimed
in thoughtfully.
