Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 848

They were all good people?

Vincent felt like he had heard a joke. "Are you sure they are all good people?"

"Yeah. They are all good people. I'm sure they haven't done anything bad!" Elaine was certain about that.

"Are you so sure that they haven't done anything bad?" Vincent asked again in a cold tone.

What did he mean? Was she wrong?

Though she wanted to refute him, she swallowed her words back when she thought of something.

Back in the hospital, Ronan mumbled some nonsense in his sleep before. Although Elaine felt there was something suspicious, she didn't think too much over it...

Was it really like what Vincent said? The seemingly kind and good-natured old man had done something bad to him?

"What's your relationship with... the Perkins Family?" Elaine asked blankly.

Not saying a word, Vincent kept quiet.

After a pause, she prompted, "Tell me! I want to know why you set Dr. Perkins up when he's such a

kind person!"

All of a sudden, he turned his head at her. With glaring eyes, he scowled, "The more you try to defend him, the more you'll agitate me, and that makes me want to destroy him. Do you understand?!"

Widening her eyes in disbelief, she dared not speak another word.

With an expressionless face, Vincent ordered, "Shut up and lie down. Go to sleep."

Obeying his order, she bit her lips anxiously and lay down as instructed.

With a 'click' sound, he turned off the light.

The room plunged into darkness.

She didn't dare to shut her eyes and couldn't sleep at all. On one hand, she was afraid of him. On the other hand, she was overthinking...

Not knowing how long had passed, she noticed that Vincent, who was sleeping beside her, didn't move at all. Slowly, her body relaxed, and she started to feel sleepy.

After a while, drowsiness overtook her, and she shut her eyes.

In the darkness, Vincent opened his eyes and turned towards Elaine, who was fast asleep. Staring at her, he pursed his lips.

When Elaine woke up the next day, she found herself lying in Vincent's arms again.

Frustrated, she kicked him off with all her might, but instead stirred Vincent awake.

Still groggy from sleep, Vincent felt that the person in his arms was struggling hard to get out from his embrace, igniting his anger.

With his eyes shut, he pulled her forcefully back into his chest. Firmly holding her against his chest, he groaned, "Stay still!"

"Let me go!" Elaine struggled.

"I told you to stay still!" Vincent raised his arm and landed his palm on her back.

Elaine was startled by his reaction.

What was he doing?

Where was he touching?

What a b*stard!

Scarlet slowly spread across her cheeks and ears. Fuming with anger, she wrestled to break free from his grip. Annoyed by her actions, he blinked open his eyes, knitted his brows together, and was about to speak. Suddenly, as if possessed by an aggressive creature, Elaine lowered her head and bit down on him hard.

"Ouch..."

Vincent sucked in a breath of cold air.

She bit his shoulder so hard that blood started oozing out.

All of a sudden, she felt a grip on her chin. In pain, she couldn't utter a word as she locked eyes with Vincent's piercing stare.

With that, she shivered a little.

"Are you scared now?" Vincent sneered.

Afraid that he would attack her, she didn't dare to move. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

In an instant, he got up and flipped himself over to press against Elaine. His warm and strong presence enveloped her, and the surrounding temperature seemed to increase gradually.

Turning his head towards his shoulder, Vincent saw the teeth marks, and his wound was bleeding. Moving his fingers to wipe the blood, he then started sucking his blood-stained fingers with thin lips. In a half- awake state, he looked like a malicious villain.

Anxious, her heart started beating fast.

Staring at her, he stated, "You're the first woman to make me bleed."

"I... I'm sorry..." Cowering under him out of fear, she apologized, "I didn't do it on purpose. Please don't be mad..."

But it was his fault to hit her like that suddenly! No man had ever touched her like that. That's why she panicked out of anger and embarrassment and bit him.

If she were sober and awake, she wouldn't have dared to bite him!

She just wasn't in her rational mind earlier...

Lowering his eyes, he stared at her, then his gaze landed on her pale and delicate shoulders.

Following his gaze, Elaine was shocked. "You're not going to bite me, are you?"

Was he that petty?

He was a madman who didn't even blink an eye when killing people! Getting bitten by him would probably mean a rabies vaccine was needed afterward.

There was no way she would let him bite her!

Seeing an opportunity, she prepared herself to leap out of his embrace. However, as soon as she moved, Vincent grunted with a seemingly pained expression, and the sight of Elaine in front of him darkened...

The next moment, his body was pressed against hers, and his lips landed on hers.

All of a sudden, her mind started buzzing, as if something had just exploded in her head.

Not knowing how to react, her body turned stiff.

All her senses and feelings were concentrated on her lips, whereas her mind went blank. This was the first time she encountered a situation like this. She wasn't at a loss; she just didn't know how to react.

When she slowly regained her senses, she could feel the burning sensation from his body. It was as if the heat he exuded was going to burn her alive.

As he slowly got out of control, his breathing became rapid, and his movements became desperate...

"Knock, knock..."

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted them.

Startled, Vincent paused for a second.

Catching onto the opportunity, Elaine shoved him away with all her strength and screamed, "Help!"

There was a pause outside the door before Morgan's voice rang. "Sir? Miss Jacob?"

Anger rushed through his veins as he shouted towards the door, "Go away!"

With that, there was silence on the outside.

Pushing him away, Elaine ran towards the door.

Footsteps came chasing after her.

The moment she opened the door, Vincent grabbed her wrist. Elaine tried to swat his arms away but to no avail. Without a choice, she screamed, "Morgan!"

When Vincent wanted to drag her into the room, she held onto the door like a koala, unwilling to let go.

His temper sparked as he ordered with a hoarse voice, "Let go!"

Judging by her miserable screams, people who didn't know might have thought he was trying to kill her at this rate.

With eyes brimmed with tears, she held onto the door tightly as if her life depended on it. When she looked at him, he could see the intense fear in her eyes.

However, it wasn't the type of fear when she saw him killing people, but another type of fear.

It was a type of panic that arose when she was afraid that he would do something bad to her.

Hearing her cries, Morgan came over to the room and saw the situation. Stunned, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Bawling like a wronged child, she pleaded, "Morgan, save me. He's crazy. He wants to take my clothes off!"

Upon hearing that, Morgan was speechless.

Vincent, who was standing by the side, also fell silent.

However, he pulled a long face due to embarrassment.

"Ehem..." Morgan cleared his throat as his face turned slightly red. "Sir, Miss Jacob is still young. Please don't scare her..."

Glancing at him, Vincent replied plainly, "She's not young anymore."

Taking a quick look at Elaine, he realized what Vincent had meant. Indeed, she wasn't young anymore.

Though she didn't understand, Morgan wasn't oblivious to it. He was pleased to hear that coming out of Vincent's mouth, but on the other hand, he silently scolded Vincent for being such a pervert.

He never expected that Vincent, who had suppressed his lust for many years would give such dirty comments.

Walking over towards Elaine, he gently patted her hands, and comforted, "Miss Jacob, let go now so you don't hurt yourself. Don't worry, he won't hurt you. Don't be afraid."

Reluctant to let go, she was still afraid of what had happened on the bed just now. "I'll let go when he does."

Looking over at Vincent Morgan persuaded, "Sir, you see..."
