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
Heather prepared a pot of healthy chicken congee and prepared a few other light and refreshing dishes.After she finished cooking, she walked back out, only to find the TV on. Tyrone had fallen asleep on the couch. His sleep seemed disturbed, as his brows were slightly furrowed.At that moment, there were three soft knocks on the door.Heather walked over and opened the door. Caleb was standing outside, smiling. "Ms. Sutton, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mr. Elkin.""He's sleeping now.""In that case, could you give the documents to Mr. Elkin and have him sign them when he wakes up? I'll come back to collect them later."Caleb handed her the documents, and Heather raised an eyebrow. "You should give him the documents yourself. If something were to happen again and you guys had to deal with someone, you could say that I had touched the documents before. I would be in deep trouble then. Isn't that right?"Caleb's expression stiffened for a moment, then he chuckled and sh
Compared to the last time Heather and Macey had met, the latter looked plumper and healthier. She wore a light-colored wool skirt that made her look like she was still a wealthy woman."Mrs. Snyder." Heather walked over and sat down."Heather, why are you wearing this? Are you sick?" Macey looked at her hospital gown in surprise.Heather smiled. "Yes, I was sick, but it's nothing serious."A waiter approached them with the menu just then. He was also surprised by Heather's clothes. Heather ordered a glass of lemon water."Mrs. Snyder, why are we meeting today?"Macey remained silent for a few seconds. All of a sudden, tears started streaming down her face.Heather was taken aback and quickly handed her some tissue. "Mrs. Snyder, did something happen to Whitney?"Had Tyrone really done something to Whitney?After crying for a while, Macey shook her head. "It's not her; it's her father. I heard today that he's constantly being beaten in prison and has suffered many injuries. Hea
"Mrs. Snyder, there is no way I can be with Mr. Elkin," Heather said firmly."But what about Whitney's surgery? What about Thomas? What about us?" Macy raised her voice by a pitch. She sharply looked into Heather's eyes and said, "Heather, you cannot break up with Mr. Elkin. We have been kind to you! Do it for our sake. You have to stay with him!"Heather frowned. "Mrs. Snyder, you have a daughter yourself. Would you want your daughter to be someone's mistress?"She had already sold her body twice for the sake of the Snyders. How many more times would be enough?Macey fell silent at that. Of course, she wouldn't want that. She had raised Whitney since she was a baby girl. Whitney was meant to marry into a wealthy family and live a comfortable life with a good husband. Why would Macey want her to be someone's shameful mistress?But Heather was just a girl from the countryside. She couldn't compare herself to Whitney!Heather took a breath and said calmly, "Mrs. Snyder, the S
