The man who had grabbed me gave a start but kept a firm grip on me still.
“It’s okay. You’re safe.”
I sank my teeth deeper into his skin with all my might.
The metallic taste of blood seeped into my mouth, and several familiar
scents filtered through my nostrils. There was the faintest hint of musk and
the scent of tobacco, as well as a specific individual scent…

Suddenly Liam’s voice murmured beside my ear, “Don’t be afraid. No one will
hurt you.” He had never been so gentle with me before.
An inexplicable ache shot through my heart, and I let go. “B*stard…”
Liam did not reply.
By this time, tears were running freely down my cheeks, and I could not stop
the sobs from welling up. I clenched my fists and pummelled him. “Bas…”

He stopped me mid–speech by abruptly kissing me hard. His arms were
securely around me, and his right hand was firmly against the back of my head, so I could not move even if I wanted to. I had no choice but to go with
the flow. As the passionate kiss continued, my frantic struggles gradually
subsided, and I calmed down.

That was when Liam stopped and released me.
Somehow the air seemed several degrees colder, and the back of my head
throbbed painfully. I glanced around with difficulty and realized that we were
surrounded by a lot of people.
Nearby, a tall, burly man was being supported by two people. He had a black
eye, and his nose was bloody. My breath caught in my throat.
It was the man who had accosted me earlier.
I shrank back involuntarily and glanced at Liam. He turned off his phone display and stroked my back lightly, then turned to Dr. Hollister standing
nearby. “My chauffeur will see to things.” With that, he propelled me out of the

My head only cleared fully when we reached the floor just below the
restaurant. Looking up, I realized that Liam’s arm had bloody teeth marks on
it, and felt a pang of fear. “I’m sorry…”
Liam did not say a word; he merely kept walking in silence.
“I didn’t mean to bite you…” I had bitten down hard enough to draw blood;
that certainly would have hurt. I was afraid he would get even later, sol
suggested timidly, “If you want, you can bite me back.”
Liam stopped. I stood stock still as well.
We were just about to turn the corner, and there was no one around. Knowing
this made me feel slightly afraid. At this moment, Liam suddenly bent down
and bit my neck.
An eye for an eye, apparently…

He did not bite hard and let go immediately after that. Looking at me levelly,
he replied, “We’re even now.”
I reached up to feel my neck. There was no blood. I merely answered, “Thank
you…”
He did not reply, merely inclined his head slightly.
Involuntarily, I closed my eyes and waited a few seconds, but he didn’t follow it up with a kiss.
When I opened my eyes, our gazes locked. His face was very close to mine,
practically nose to nose. Although his expression was not vicious or vengeful,
it was extremely distant and aloof. It made my knees tremble.
I held my breath nervously.
After a while, Liam said, “Don’t lead him on in future.”
Goosebumps prickled all over my skin. “I didn’t lead him on! He suddenly

grabbed me; I don’t even know what happened…”
“I’m not talking about that stupid idiot.” Liam narrowed his eyes slightly. “I’m
talking about your gigolo.”
“Dr. Norman isn’t a gigolo.” Why was he bringing this up again? “I couldn’t
control myself because I was too scared. He helped me, that’s all.”
“Too scared, huh.” Liam gave a snort of derisive laughter. “Looking at him all
doe–eyed and acting like a timid little mouse, just to see his pained
expression…you really should take a picture and send it to him.”
Once more, I was left with nothing to say. I couldn’t out–argue him, as usual.
The split–second feeling that I had experienced when he let me bite him
vanished without a trace. I hurriedly changed the subject. “You’d better go to
the hospital.”
Liam eyed me dangerously.

*Broken skin from being bitten can be quite a dangerous thing; it needs to be
seen to,” I explained. “I’ll go with you.”
However, Liam grasped my face and forced me to look at him. It hurt so
much that my forehead creased in pain.
“I’m warning you,” he said quietly with an edge to his voice. “Keep your
distance from him. In fact, you keep your distance from all other men in future. I’m not going to give you another chance to create drama.”
I could not say a word. Tears pricked my eyes; I was very close to breaking
down.
Fortunately, a voice suddenly called from behind us, “Mr. Mendez!” It was Dr.
Hollister.
Liam immediately released me.
I hastily brushed away my tears. At the same time, Dr. Hollister hurried toward
us, holding my overcoat and purse. With a smile, he said, “Your chauffeur has

gone in already, Mr. Mendez. There’s a little bit of a fuss up there, so I brought these down. Besides, it’s cold outside.”
Liam took the items from Dr. Hollister with a chuckle. “Thank you, Dr. Hollister.
I’d completely forgotten about them, silly me.” As he spoke, he draped the
warm garment around my shoulders.
I slowly put on my overcoat. Dr. Hollister glanced at me; evidently, he had
noticed my reddened eyes and looked concerned. “That man just now was
truly vile. We do have a female psychologist at the hospital who can make a house call to check on you if you’d like, Mrs. Mendez.”
I hurriedly shook my head. “No, it’s alright. Thank you.”
What I needed most was certainly not a psychologist.
Dr. Hollister nodded, then added, “The bite mark on your neck should probably
be seen to. Do you need me to accompany you to the hospital?”
Liam said nothing. Resting his palm against the small of my back, he asked,

“Where’s Dr. Norman?”

“He has several surgeries scheduled, so he had to leave.” Dr. Hollister paused for a moment, then continued in a wheedling tone, “Actually, we’d arranged
for Dr. Ashley Griffin to treat Mrs. Mendez. She’s a senior consultant and the
assistant head of the hospital; she’s an excellent specialist in her field. Unfortunately, the situation last time was a little out of the ordinary, and Dr.
Norman is a world–renown specialist on tumors. This is my fault; I
inadvertently caused a problem.”
Liam merely smiled politely.
Dr. Hollister immediately changed the subject. “Medical skill is one thing, but character is also very important. He’s not a very good lecturer either. I’ll terminate our agreement with him and tell him he doesn’t need to come in
tomorrow.” His expression betrayed a degree of awkwardness. “It’s just that
we’re already halfway through the class and getting a new lecturer at such
short notice…”
Liam chuckled faintly. Putting his arm around my waist, he resumed walking.

Dr. Hollister hurried behind us, a smile plastered onto his face. “Mr. Mendez, I
apologize for my oversight…I won’t fire him, but I’ll make sure to keep an eye
on him and take care of things.”
After Dr. Hollister had left, Liam kept his arm around my waist and propelled
me further into the mall, strolling aimlessly.
“You need to see a doctor,” I reminded him.
He kept his gaze straight ahead and said without a shred of emotion, “You
need to pick a Christmas present for me.”

“Let’s go see to your wound first, then we can come back, and I’ll pick one out
for you,” I insisted. “Saliva might have bacteria; you could die from it.”
Liam snorted. Lowering his head, he murmured derisively, “If I die, you’ll go off
with that gigolo.”
I looked up at him. His eyes were cold, mocking, and threatening.

I asked simply, “Do you want to die, then?”

Liam’s eyes narrowed. His hand slid up from my waist to the nape of my neck.
I stared at his tight, unyielding mouth, and a frisson of fear shot through me.
Involuntarily, I tensed up and shrank back just a little.
A confrontation was inevitable.
Suddenly, Liam stiffened and glanced up. By the time I processed what was
going on, he had already pulled me behind him.
At the same time, someone abruptly held out a small jute bag full of apples
and snacks to us.
