“Hurry up.” he gasped, “How are you so long–winded? You’re too young for
that.”

Unable to resist him, I shifted closer and carefully leaned against him.

Liam’s arms enveloped my body, and I cautioned him, “Be gentle, avoid don’t
touch your wound.”
“You still care about me,” Liam muttered lazily, resting his head against the
car window once again, closing his eyes, and saying, “Lean on my chest. My
arms hurt.”
I nestled in and rested my head on his chest.
Sensing his palm gently stroking my back, I could not help but say, “Please try
not to move too much.”
Liam remained silent but ceased his movements.
Having had little sleep last night and not being well–rested today, I could not
resist the drowsiness any longer. I closed my eyes, succumbing to sleep.

Chapter 66 Thank Goodness To Asleep
As I was on the brink of slumber, a voice echoed in my ear once more, asking,
“How many times has he held you like this?”
I yawned and inquired, “What do you think?”
Liam remained silent.
Feeling slightly nervous, I looked up.
His gaze met mine, his sharp eyes half–closed, revealing a trace of
tenderness.
I could not help to avert my gaze. At that moment, he pressed his thin lips
against mine.
Instinctively, I reached out to push him away, but he caught my wrist.
Feeling tense, I waited for his next move, and suddenly, Liam released his
grip.

He looked down at me and asked softly, “Has he ever kissed you like this?”
I whispered, “How did Rina tell you this?”
It was evident that Rina wanted Chris to do that, likely to trap Liam as the
betrayer.
Liam remained silent, gazing at me for a moment.
“If
you trust her,” I spoke up, “then there’s no need to ask me,”
Liam smirked. “Why did she choose to tell me now?”
Silence hung in the air as I struggled to understand his words.
“The purpose of her telling me this is because she wants me to catch me in
bed.” Liam continued, his hand gently caressing my face. “If you want to be
intimate, at least wait until after work.”
I nodded.

Chris never got off work.
He planned this with Rina, so they must have arranged the timing.

“But you just repaid her…” I paused, a realization dawning upon me. “Was that
all an act?”
Liam snorted. “I just want you to see this side of me.”
I remained silent.
Chris’s actions had left me unsettled, and deep down, I knew that his claims
of doing it for my own good were likely just excuses.
I even considered the possibility that he may have been aiming to gain some
money from Rina through this collaboration.
But I was not angry.
When I thought about Anna, I realized that blood ties meant nothing, and

when I thought about Liam, I understood that true love was nothing but an
illusion.

I had no future, no value. Chris was taking care of me, and he was not a saint.
Shouldn’t he expect something in return?
I was not mad.
I just… did not want to be involved with him anymore.
Suddenly, a hand gently grasped my chin.
I snapped back to reality and I lifted my head.
Liam’s expression was serious, tilted his head slightly and gazed at me. “How
did he explain it to you?”
I responded, “He said it was for my own good.”
A coldness flickered in Liam’s eyes. “Do you believe him?”

After thinking about it, I replied, “If Rina were to tell you that my visit to the
gynecology department wasn’t due to an illness but rather a miscarriage…”
As I uttered those words, I could feel his body tense up.
Fear gripped me, but he was still unaware. Instead of waiting for Rina to
reveal the truth, I decided to take a risk. “Would you believe me?”
Liam watched me intently. “Did you have a miscarriage?”
I looked straight into his eyes, attempting to remain composed. “No.”
Liam’s gaze penetrated me like that of a hawk, and after a while, he spoke,
“Come to the hospital with me later.”
I said, “So, you trust her?”
Liam remained silent, fixing his gaze on me.

“So, you’ll believe her no matter what she says,” I stated. “And the same goes
for me. I trust Dr. Norman. He’s been kind to me, and I believe he’s doing it for

my own good.”
With that, I gently removed his hand from my face and shifted away.
They arrived at the entrance of the hospital.
At the same time, Liam uttered, “Come here.”

I tightly shut my eyes, knowing it was futile, but still wanting to make one last
attempt.
The car came to a stop.
I heard the sound of seat belts unbuckling, followed by a rustling noise.
His movements were awkwardly audible as if he was shifting closer.
Was he planning to drag me out? The thought sent chills down my spine.
Suddenly, I felt warmth and dampness against my cheeks.

My hair stood on end, and I sensed a hand reaching toward my jaw.

I wanted to retreat, but I didn’t dare open my eyes. At that moment, soft
laughter resonated in my ear.
“Stay still,” he warned, “or I’ll have to carry you out.”
I dared not move any further.
Then, his lips brushed against mine. I was so nervous, like a mouse being
kissed by a cat, unable to respond, and my entire body tensed up.
After what felt like an eternity, Liam finally released me.
“You slept well,” he remarked. As he spoke, I felt his finger tracing along my
eyelid, “Luckily, you didn’t wake up, or I would have insisted on taking you for
an examination immediately.”
I quickly closed my eyes.

“Little rabbit,” he chuckled and then moved away.
I waited for a long while before cautiously opening my eyes, only to see
Liam’s back as he exited the car.
Phew…
Did I trick him?

Although I knew it would have been better to tell him about this matter
earlier, I still wanted to try my best to hide it… until I could not hide it anymore.
After Liam left, I continued to rest my head against the car window, wrapping
myself up in the blanket, and soon drifted off into slumber.
I had a good sleep. Before waking up, I felt both hunger and warmth. When I
opened my eyes, I found myself lying on my chest.
I immediately shivered, unable to regain my senses for a while, until I heard
Liam’s voice saying, “What’s wrong?”

His voice sounded muffled but gentle.

I raised my head, noticing that his eyes were still closed, and whispered, “I’m
hungry…”
It was silent.
It seemed he was talking in his sleep… I wondered which woman he was
dreaming about. I’m guessing it’s Miss Shaw.
His wounded arm wrapped around my waist and was shirtless.
I lifted his arm and carefully moved it aside, not daring to push him and risk
worsening his wound. Instead, I got a pillow and placed it in his arms.
I left the bedroom and realized that I was at home.
At that moment, everyone else was fast asleep. I headed to the kitchen to
make a bowl of noodles for myself.

Just as I began to cut the vegetables, a loud sound startled me. The blade
trembled, causing a sharp pain in my hand.
Ignoring the pain, I firmly gripped the kitchen knife and turned around. The
glass door of the kitchen had slid open, and a figure rushed inside.
It was Liam.
He entered the kitchen soaking wet and grabbed my wrist.
Before I could react, he twisted it forcefully.

A sudden surge of pain coursed through me, causing me to release my grip.
