With Tyrone uncomfortably close to her, the memories flooded back vividly into Heather's mind.She eventually snapped out of her reverie. She was momentarily startled as she looked at Tyrone's handsome face before her."Why are you afraid of me?" Tyrone's cold, piercing eyes bore into Heather's, as though any misstep in her words could trigger a drastic reaction from him.Heather's pupils contracted slightly as she calmly said, "I thought you were going to strangle me again."Tyrone reached out and placed his arm around her shoulder, his hand coming near her neck.Heather's strong reaction was driven by deep-seated psychological scars from the last time he had strangled her.Tyrone jerked slightly, and a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes at her response.After scrutinizing her for a moment, he abruptly took her hands and pressed them against his own neck."Choke me!" he demanded.What was he doing? Heather's unspoken question hung in the air as she processed his words, stun
Tyrone had a cold air around him, and his eyes seemed like those of a hungry wolf, poised to strike.Heather nervously bit her lip. "Mr. Elkin, if you need anything, please ask someone else."She appreciated his help, but that didn't mean she was open to physical intimacy with him. The thought of him and Anna made her feel sick."I'm not interested in anyone else," Tyrone declared, fixing his gaze on her.For some inexplicable reason, he found Heather's body particularly enticing.While he appeared to be cold and sarcastic, his words of affection were unexpectedly compelling.Not interested in anyone else...That statement made it seem as though he was exclusively interested in her, almost as if he were remarkably devoted.Heather chuckled, narrowing her eyes at Tyrone with a hint of sarcasm. "No wonder they say you can't trust a man's sweet words in bed. Mr. Elkin, do you use those lines on every woman?""Why would I waste my time with anyone else?" he retorted.No other wom
Heather's words had come out of nowhere. Tyrone's gaze faltered momentarily before he arrogantly raised an eyebrow. "So, it seems you need your medicine!"…Tyrone's temperature was recorded as a high fever of 103.6 degrees Fahrenheit.The doctor explained it had been caused by prolonged gastric bleeding and the lack of rest due to high-intensity work.Moreover, exposure to cold water had worsened his condition, resulting in a deterioration of his physical health.Tyrone sat on the hospital bed as the attending doctor examined him and gave him an IV drip. Meanwhile, Heather sat on the couch, quietly sipping antiviral medication.The doctor tending to Tyrone was Melanie, whom Heather had encountered previously.After setting up the IV drip, Melanie glanced at Heather and offered some advice on how to take care of Tyrone. With her medical kit in hand, she quietly left the room."Mr. Elkin, I've brought breakfast for both of you," Caleb announced as he entered with several takeawa
After Heather had fallen off the boat, Sam had fired several shots at her in a bout of rage and humiliation. Seeing this, Tyrone had thought that she had fallen off the boat because she had been shot. He had almost had a heart attack!Only when he had carried her ashore and had been sure that there were no gunshot wounds on her had he breathed a sigh of relief."I saw him firing a shot at you. I was afraid that he would hit you, so I pushed him.""I was prepared. He couldn't have hurt me at all! Why did you get yourself involved? Sam used to be a fighter. You're no match for him. "You fell into the sea and almost drowned yourself! You're so clumsy! You can't even swim. Go sign up for a swimming class tomorrow!" Tyrone yelled at her.Heather couldn't think of anything to say to that. "I…"Tyrone stared at her. "No more excuses."Heather kept quiet. If he hadn't saved her life, she would have really wanted to stuff the bowl into his mouth to shut him up!"Oh, who got Ty so ril
At that moment, she heard footsteps come to a stop in front of her, followed by the sound of a woman's icy voice. "You're quite something!"Heather looked up. It was Melanie; she was dressed in her white coat as she stood in front of Heather. Her lips curved in a contemptuous smile. "The first time I saw you, I knew you weren't someone easy to deal with. You make him take risks for you. You may be young, but your methods are quite extraordinary."Heather frowned. "What are you trying to say?"Melanie lashed out at Heather coldly, saying, "Tyrone only needs a woman who can satisfy his physical needs, not a troublemaker like you. "Do you know who he is? If something had happened to him last night, would you have been able to bear the consequences?"Every word she uttered was harsh.Heather's expression became hostile. "I am not Mr. Elkin's woman. It was a coincidence that he saved me. Please watch your words and show some respect!""Respect?" Melanie's eyes were filled with moc
"I saved you, so don't tell me you're going to act like nothing happened." Tyrone's gaze was darkened.Heather was stunned. Of course, she was grateful to Tyrone. If he hadn't shown up, there was no telling what Sam would have done to her. But she was aware of what Tyrone meant by "thanking him".Heather pursed her lips. "I—""If you don't want to return the favor, it's fine. You won't have to do that if you're dead," Tyrone interrupted her.Heather was speechless. "There's a fruit knife over there. Go head and do it." Heather remained silent. "You don't want to do it?"Of course, she wasn't going to do it. "I was kidnapped by Sam partly because of you."Tyrone laughed. "So you're saying it was all my fault?"That was the truth. She had been the victim!Heather looked at him and said seriously, "Mr. Elkin, I've said it before—I won't agree to be with you."Tyrone started right at her slightly protruding lips. Not a single word that had come out of that mouth had pleased hi
"I'll stay and take care of you, but… I'll sleep on the couch. I won't sleep on the bed." Heather made a concession.In other words, Tyrone could see her, but he couldn't touch her.What an ignorant woman! Did she know how many other women were eager to sleep with him but never had the chance?"Do you agree?" Heather's clear eyes glistened as she looked at him pleadingly.Tyrone's gaze darkened slightly. He wanted to say, "Get out." But in the end, all he said was, "Fine."His intense gaze locked onto her. "Heather, I'll wait for you to beg me to sleep with you!"Heather bit her lip. She then calmly said, "I will never beg you.""Don't be so sure." Tyrone's deep voice sounded meaningful.Heather dismissed it. She had nothing to beg him for.Taking care of him for a few days was enough to repay the debt of his saving her life. Once he recovered and was discharged from the hospital, they would have no further interactions.At that moment, she didn't realize that one should neve
"Why didn't you make a sound when you were walking over?" Heather breathed a sigh of relief. Her tone was slightly coquettish from the scare she had just gotten"You were daydreaming." Tyrone pinched her cheek affectionately. "What were you thinking about?"Heather quickly said, "I was just—" Before she could finish her sentence, her phone rang again. It was Craig.Heather felt a shiver run through her. She immediately declined the call. Within a few seconds, the phone rang again.It was Craig again. Heather rejected the call once more. The next second, another call came through! How many times was he going to call? Without hesitation, Heather hung up the phone again."Whose call is it? Why don't you answer?"Heather had rejected three consecutive calls. Of course, it had attracted Tyrone's attention.Heather felt a bit flustered. Craig was Tyrone's niece's husband, and she didn't want Tyrone to find out about their past relationship."He..."Thoughts raced through Heather's
"You have the hair. You can leave now," Tyrone said as he started to drive both Greg and Hector away.He was feeling sorry for Heather for having to deal with this when she had just woken up and when she was still quite frail."Arrange a room opposite this ward for me," Greg ordered his bodyguard.When Tyrone heard what Greg was saying, he frowned and said coldly, "You're going to stay here?""There are so many reporters outside. Do you think it's suitable for me to leave in less than 20 minutes after I've just visited my girlfriend who has been admitted to the hospital?" Greg remarked casually.However, he kept on poking at Tyrone by referring to Heather as his girlfriend again and again.Tyrone's expression was extremely cold as he said, "You're really treating yourself as her boyfriend now, huh?""It doesn't matter if I want to be her boyfriend or not. Most importantly, the entire nation believes I'm her boyfriend.""Looks like you want me to get you some work.""Ha!" Greg
Tyrone's eyes became a little colder as his arms around Heather's waist tightened.Greg scoffed at Tyrone's act of announcing his ownership and simply shot Heather a look. "Are you feeling any better?"He was here to visit a patient, so there was no need to get into a scuffle with an amiable person.Heather couldn't show Greg a sour expression, so she simply nodded. "Yeah."Greg let out a laugh. "You're so fortunate. Otherwise, you're going to die from some garbage's uselessness."He was inferring something else.Tyrone frowned and his attitude became even colder. "If you don't want me to throw you out, you should learn how to watch your tongue."Greg scoffed. "Which part of what I said was wrong?""Alright, now that Hattie's back, you two should stop fighting," Hector said. His gentle nature and charm easily make others have a good impression of him.He might be Heather's older cousin, so they had to show him some respect.Tyrone's eyes were cold as he bit his lips and said
Tyrone's body stiffened and the atmosphere suddenly turned tense."Tyrone. He shielded me from an attack. I saw him get hurt. I just want to know how bad his injury is."Heather knew Tyrone didn't like her talking about Craig, but she was genuinely worried about Craig. Heather explained to Tyrone using a gentle voice and tugged at his clothing.There was some anxiety in her eyes. She was being very careful, worried that he might get angry.It was true that Tyrone was somewhat upset, but what else could he say when she was already having that kind of attitude?Tyrone stayed quiet for a while and said, "He's no longer in danger."Heather sighed in relief. "I want to see him."Heather knew Tyrone was going to get upset again if he found out she sneaked out to see Craig, so she might as well tell Tyrone now.Tyrone was silent for a few seconds before he coldly said, "You can see him when you're in a better condition."Heather wanted to go immediately. But she knew if she showed to
Seth had already planned to go for a game of gold in the afternoon.Ivy didn't want to stay to become a third wheel, so after telling Heather to take good care of herself, she then left together with Seth.The ward instantly fell silent.Tyrone looked at Heather with dark eyes. "How do you feel? Do you still feel any pain?"Heather simply said, "I want to take a shower."She had sweated a lot after she recovered from her fever, and she wasn't feeling that comfortable from the sticky sweat.Tyrone's eyes darkened and didn't say anything. He pulled the blanket aside and picked her up, taking her to the washroom.The moment they were inside the washroom, Tyrone placed her on the toilet. He first filled the bathtub with hot water before turning around, wanting to remove her clothes."I can take a bath by myself. You should go out," Heather said as she held onto her outfit tightly, blushing.Tyrone raised his eyebrow. "How can you take a bath yourself when you're so weak? What if a
When Heather opened her eyes once again, the first person she saw was Ivy."You're finally awake, Hattie! You're scaring me to death! Are you alright? Are you feeling any discomfort?"Ivy quickly held Heather's hand when she saw the latter opening her eyes. Then, she asked a string of questions.Heather's entire body was feeling numb and her head was spinning. "I feel weak. Is this the hospital? Why are you here?""I found out from Seth that you have been kidnapped and Mr. Elkin has been searching for you all the while," Ivy said nervously. "You've been having a fever for the past two days and you scared me. It is so fortunate that you turned out alright."She paused a little before saying angrily, "Selena must have gone crazy. She was trying to starve you to death. I know she's not a good person, but I didn't expect her to be so malevolent."You can't even call her a human anymore. She's been arrested, and it's over for her this time."Ivy still couldn't forget how she first sa
Craig was too calm. Perhaps it was because he already knew how duplicitous Selena was.The gentle Selena was just an illusion he saw when they first met, and after he was charmed.That was why, despite feeling angry and shocked once finding out Selena's pregnancy was a lie, he didn't find it completely unbelievable.There was nervousness when Selena was looking at Craig, but it slowly turned into disappointment. Her lips curled into a bitter smile as she said, "You must be so happy when you heard I've faked my pregnancy. You think that you've finally gotten rid of this burden, haven't you?"Craig… Do you know how much I wanted to have a child with you? But you don't look forward to having a child with me at all!"Then let me tell you one more thing. Nothing happened between us that night at the hotel. I've always been lying to you."Aren't you even happier when you hear this news? She spends every waking moment with Tyrone, but you're still keeping your virginity for her… Do yo
Light reflected from the sharp blade."Hattie!" Tyrone yelled loudly.Selena was already right in front of Heather in the blink of an eye, wearing a twisted expression on her face as she held the dagger in her hand.Suddenly, Craig appeared right in front of Heather. He protected Heather, and the sharp blade sliced open a deep wound on his face.Craig grunted, and his towering figure shuddered.Heather looked at the figure standing right in front of her as she could only weakly shout out in shock, "Craig!"Why was he there?Craig was showing Heather his back as he raised his hand to cover his face, blood coming out from between his fingers and dripping on the ground as it flowed from the back of his hand."Don't worry, I'm fine."Craig glared at Selena coldly as he responded to Heather.Selena was completely stunned as she couldn't move her eyes away from Craig.Tyrone kicked Selena's bodyguard in the chest, and he fell to the ground, unconscious. It was at this time when Ca
"But what did you do?"Selena's eyes were suddenly filled with savagery, as if she wanted to turn Heather into shreds. "We were fine when we went on our honeymoon, but everything changed the moment we met you!"Why wouldn't you leave? Why must you string him along? He was going to fall in love with me soon!"Heather, you ruined everything for me! It's you… It's all because of you!"Selena screamed in hysteria.She still believed that the root of all her issues was because Heather refused to leave.Heather never expected Craig and Selena to have such a deep history. "I've never wanted to steal Craig from you. You're the one that's being too suspicious."Selena kept staring at Heather. "It doesn't matter, because you're going to die today, anyway. Even if Craig won't ever love me, he can forget about being together with you!"Even if she couldn't get Craig, she wouldn't allow them to be together.All Selena cared about was revenge.Selena pulled out a dagger from her purse. The
Caleb moved very quickly. He had already found out that Selena had been keeping in touch with a number every day.The owner of that number was a bodyguard who worked for the Huntington. According to the GPS signal from the phone with this number, the phone had been staying in Suthurn Hills on the northern side of Royalton.At the same time, Caleb's phone started to ring. He picked it up and listened to his subordinate's reports. He frowned and said, "Sir, Selena had suddenly left the hospital. Her car is leaving the city.""If she really is leaving the city, is it possible that she's heading to Suthurn Hills? Maybe her bodyguard is keeping an eye on Heather?" Hector made an educated guess.In reality, Hector's guesses were all spot on."The mountains stretch across a wide area. We need to find a way to pinpoint the phone's exact location and then send out our men to search the area," Greg said.Tyrone said nothing as he pursed his lips. Suddenly, he walked in the direction of the
