It was porn.
The moment the audio filled the room, Dwight immediately realized what was going on and quickly shut it off.
He sent two words to Warren. [Wanna die?]
Warren laughed. [You have a girlfriend now. You should start learning. It’s time to widen your horizons.)
Dwight quickly replied, [Shut up!]
Warren didn’t dare to send another message.
Dwight returned to studying Phantom’s files. Before he knew it, half an hour had passed. He was lying on the bed, his arm resting behind his head. His mind was in a chaotic swirl, and it was unclear what he was thinking about. His mind had always been calm before.
But after meeting Halsey, things started to feel a little off.
Somehow, Dwight found himself reaching for his phone again and clicking on the video.
In the room next door, Halsey and Madeline had already settled into bed, chatting.
Halsey asked, “How’s your mom’s health been lately?”
Madeline nodded. “She’s much better. After the last time she went to the hospital and got that medicine, she’s been feeling less pain, and she’s more energetic now.”
Halsey felt a bit relieved. The medicine was imported from overseas, and she had asked Anthony to prescribe it to Tina at a fake low price, so they didn’t know the whole story yet.
It seemed the medicine was working well, but it still wasn’t enough to cure Tina.
“Maddy, when you get into Oakwood High, you can live at my place. My house is really close to the school.”
Halsey knew Tina could only stay until Madeline finished her exams. Once Tina was gone, Madeline would have no choice but to stay with Dwight, and that wouldn’t be ideal.
Halsey thought about taking Madeline in as a sister. Cyril really valued talent, and Madeline was a good kid–he would definitely like her.
Madeline smiled. “Once high school starts, I’ll probably stay at the school dorms. I’m actually pretty independent.
Both Dwight and Madeline were strong–willed people. Hearing that, Halsey smiled. “Focus on your exams for now. It won’t be long before the big test, and you still need to go to school tomorrow. You should get some sleep.”
“Okay. Goodnight, Halsey.”
Madeline closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.
But Halsey couldn’t settle. She tossed and turned for a while before finally sitting up, unable to sleep. She decided to go find Dwight.
When she reached his door, she was about to knock, but she noticed the door wasn’t fully closed.
She pushed it open and stepped inside. “Dwight!”

Dwight, lying on his bed and staring at his phone, jumped at the sudden sound of her voice. He quickly hid his phone. “What are you doing here?”
“I came to check on you. What’s with the big reaction?”
Halsey noticed Dwight had placed his phone under his pillow, and her sharp senses immediately picked up on something. “Why are you hiding your phone? What secrets are you hiding in there?”
Dwight hadn’t expected her to come in, and his brow furrowed. “This is my room. Get out.”

Halsey walked over to his bed. “I’m not leaving. Why are you trying to kick me out? What’s on your phone? Let me see.”
Halsey reached out to grab his phone.
Dwight was exasperated. He said with a frown, “Is your hobby barging into people’s rooms?”
Dwight didn’t want to hand over his phone, but Halsey was quick. She grabbed it from his hand before he could stop her.
“You’re watching a video? What is this?” she asked as she opened it.
Dwight didn’t respond.
He shut his eyes in resignation and lay back down. Fine, whatever. Halsey’s dark, clear eyes widened in shock as she stared at Dwight.
“How could you watch this kind of video? Y–You’re nasty!”
