“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Eric lifted her into his arms and gently placed her on the bed. Eileen’s head sank into the pillow, and inthe soft moonlight, she looked up at the tall figure of the man standing over her. He took off his jacketand leaned closer. “Did you enjoy the fireworks? Do you need me to remind you of what you did?”

Eileen propped herself up on her hands, but suddenly her legs were pulled out from under her. Shefound herself lying back down with him on top of her. She felt his passionate lips. haphazardly kissingher neck.

“Are you jealous, Eric? What gives you the right to be jealous? Don’t forget what Will told today! At thedinner table. I can’t believe you didn’t notice. Father asked me to win over Jasper. If Jasper asks, aren’tyou afraid I’ll expose you? When the time comes, not only the Smith family, but Father as well, won’t letyou off the hook! Think about it! Your impulsive actions might ruin everything you’ve carefully planned!”Eileen said.

He paused, propping himself up, his gloomy eyes fixed on her. His mouth curled cruelly, resembling ademon, forming a slight smirk. “So what? What I want doesn’t interfere with what I’m about to do now.”

For a brief moment, he wanted to pin her down and ravish her mercilessly, disregarding all propriety.He wanted to see her cry in pain and beg for mercy.

However, he still had a shred of sanity that suppressed the impulse.

To satisfy his physical desires, there wasn’t just one way. He had countless methods he couldcontinuously demand from her.

He reached out, gripping her neck with a force that was neither too light nor too heavy. Leaning in closeto her ear, he whispered, “If I ever replace out that you’ve been with Jasper, I’ll make sure you won’t beable to leave the bed for three days and three nights. I can back up my words!”

“Eric, you’re such a brat.” She bit down on his shoulder.

The man groaned in pain.

Two hours later, Eileen’s skin was flushed as if she had just soaked in a hot spring. She stood by thebed, her eyes filled with resentment as she stared at the man who was adjusting his

trousers.

Eric had indeed satisfied himself, but Eileen felt a tingling sensation all over her body from his teasing.That kind of physical feeling, neither here nor there, made her even more

uncomfortable.

Eileen’s legs went weak. She bent over to pick up the clothes on the floor and lifted the quilt to get outof bed, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, her legs gave way, and she fell onto the cold floor.A wave of chill swept over her, causing goosebumps to rise on her arms.

She waited for the man to approach her. He bent over, his index finger hooking her black. laceunderwear on the edge of the bed. He was the epitome of a refined scoundrel.

Eileen’s face turned red. She stood up, snatched it away in an instant, and shoved it under the bed.“Can’t you be less disgusting?”

“When you were taking it off, why didn’t you say it was disgusting?” He smirked, lifting the woman whowas barely dressed, carrying her into the bathroom, and tossing her into the bathtub.

Holding the showerhead, the hot water cascaded onto her snow-Blake skin. Eileen hugged her knees,her chest and back adorned with the marks left by a man.

Thankfully, it was winter, so the thick clothes she wore could conceal them well.

The hot water soaked her long hair, cascading down. Eileen lowered her head and said. “You canleave. I can wash myself.”

“Make another move, and I won’t mind doing it again.”

He took in her perfect figure, examining it from head to toe.

Eric squeezed some shower gel, applying it from her back all the way to her chest.

Afterward, he slowly moved downward.

In their past lives, they had done such things countless times every night.

Eric enjoyed the sensation of a smooth palm gliding over her skin.

But gradually, Eileen began to sense that something was wrong.

Grasping his hand, alarm bells rang loudly.

“What are you trying to do?”

“I’m just going in a little bit. You shouldn’t hold it in. It might be harmful if you suppress it too much.”

Eileen was both angry and annoyed. “I’m not like you. Take your hand back now!”

Eric’s eyes narrowed. “Do you want me to penetrate you? If you bleed, I’ll deal with you right away.Move by yourself.”

“Eric! Aren’t you ashamed to say such things?”

“Be a good girl!”

They spent over an hour in the bathroom, arguing.

Eileen felt a sense of floating and sinking, finally replaceing satisfaction. She was completely exhaustedand weak. The man pulled her out of the water, moved her aside, wrapped her in at bath towel, anddried her hair.

Eileen’s cheek touched the pillow, and she instinctively rolled to the middle of the bed.

In the middle of the night, she felt a wave of intense heat, prompting her to kick off the blanket to cooldown. However, not long after, she felt as if she was embracing a large furnace. She was too tired tomove, so she decided to just let it be.

When the first light of dawn seeped in through the cracks in the curtains, she felt some movement bythe bed. Eileen found it a bit noisy. Pulling the blanket over herself, she curled up in her warm cocoonand drifted back into a deep sleep.

Eric, dressed in his finest clothes, glanced back at the figure bulging under the covers. His lipsinvoluntarily curled up.

The flight from Remdik arrived in Hulbury at eight o’clock.

At nine o’clock, Elm disembarked from the plane and immediately rushed to a hospital.

At the flower shop downstairs, he bought a bouquet of hyacinths.

With the flowers in hand, he entered the inpatient department.

Upon reaching the fifteenth floor ward, a nurse emerged from inside.

“Mr. Elm,” the nurse said.

“Is she awake?”

“Not yet. The patient fell asleep at four o’clock this morning.”

Eim nodded. “I understand. You can continue with your work.”

“Okay, Mr. Elm.”

Ruth’s asthma would flare up from time to time. Recently, with the cold weather, a slight

carelessness would result in Ruth falling ill overnight.

Upon receiving the news, Elm immediately rushed back.

Elm entered the ward and settled onto the couch, passing the time by playing with his phone.

Unbeknownst to him, he dozed off while lying on the couch.

After an uncertain period of time, he felt a slight movement.

Elm woke up.

Noticing Ruth’s pale and feeble face, Elm sat up. “When did you wake up?”

Ruth, draped in a shawl, had her long, silky hair flowing down, giving her the appearance of a dignifiedlady. She sat beside him and gently smiled, placing the fallen blanket back over his legs. “I haven’t

been awake for long. I apologize for causing you worry. This old ailment of mine acts up occasionally.There was no need for you to rush back so urgently.”

Elm casually replied, “Now that everything is taken care of, we can celebrate the New Year togethertoday. What would you like to eat? I’ll prepare it for you!”

Ruth shook her head. “I’ve seen the photos you took. They’re beautiful. Does she like them?”

“Yes,” Elm responded.

“That’s all that matters.” Ruth looked at him, softly stroking his hair. “You’ve grown up, Elm. You’vebecome handsome and found a girl you’re fond of. Remember to express your feelings to her. If youdon’t speak up, she won’t know. You’ll be graduating next year, won’t you? Don’t wait until then andmiss the opportunity. If you do, you’ll have regrets for the rest of your life.”

Elm picked up an apple and started peeling it. “Let’s wait a little longer! It’s too early to discuss thesematters now. It could distract her from her studies. Besides, she’s not exactly the brightest.” He pointedto his own head as he spoke, criticizing her, but whenever he mentioned her, his eyes and eyebrowswere filled with joy.

“Have you visited the Smith residence?” she inquired.
