Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 533

Chapter 533 Are You Afraid Of Me

“I’m not going to the hospital no matter what you say. I’m not pregnant! I’m not pregnant!” Janette roared and ran upstairs. It was obvious she didn’t want to talk to us anymore. She went into her room and slammed the door. Tears started rolling in Alicia’s eyes, and I felt sorry for her.

“Don’t worry. Give Janette some time, and I’m sure she’ll think it through. She’s not a kid anymore, so I’m sure she knows how serious this is.” I walked up to Alicia and comforted her with a pat on the shoulder.

Alicia and I understood that it was difficult for Janette to accept the truth, but she couldn’t just run away from the problem. By hook or by crook, she had to face it.

“I feel bad, and I feel like I’m responsible for everything that had happened. Had I not raised my voice at Janette at the hospital that day, she wouldn’t have run away, and all the bad things wouldn’t have happened. It’s all my fault. I’m the cause of Janette’s misery.” Alicia then collapsed onto the couch.

Tears started rolling down her cheeks as she could not stop blaming herself.

“Don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault. I understand all these must have taken a toll on Janette’s physical and mental health, but she has to brace herself for the challenges ahead. Now is not the time for you to cry over spilled milk. What we must do now is to get Janette to go to the hospital and get a checkup. Time is running out.” I sighed.

To be honest, I didn’t know what else to say to console Alicia. Obviously, I didn’t think she was responsible for all of Janette’s misfortunes.

No one would have thought something like this would happen. Besides, Janette was already an adult and should be able to protect herself. All in all, she only had herself to blame for all the mishaps that

had happened to her.

“I’ll persuade her to get a check-up as soon as possible. I know this is a serious matter, and we can’t sit here and do nothing.” Alicia wiped off the tears and pulled herself together.

Alicia and I knew it was important for Janette to get a pregnancy test as early as possible. Should the test show positive results, we would have to think of a way to get rid of the baby. The longer we wait, the more damage the procedure would cause to Janette’s body.

I was sure Alicia was so occupied with Janette’s pregnancy that she wouldn’t listen to anything else I said. Instead of staying to upset Janette further, I decided to take my leave. Before leaving, I advised Alicia to continue to persuade Janette.

I felt utterly exhausted when I reached home. Michael, who was reading a book in bed, took a glance at me and asked, “Did you manage to speak to Mrs. Campbell? Did she manage to convince Janette to go to the hospital?”

“No. She was so emotional that she refused to listen to us. She might be in denial, but I think deep in her heart, she knew what’s going on.” I sighed and removed my clothes, getting ready to take a shower.

“You’ve pushed yourself a little too hard. I think you should stay out of Janette’s business since she doesn’t appreciate what you did for her. She even had the audacity to put all the blame on you,” Michael gazed into my eyes and said in a serious voice.

“I wish I could, but she alone can’t take care of Janette. I can imagine how exhausted she’ll be.”

The “she” that I mentioned was Alicia, and naturally, Michael knew who I was referring to. Frankly speaking, I couldn’t care less about Janette, but I was worried that Alicia might break under pressure.

“Your kindness has always been your Achilles’ heel. I’m afraid Janette would not appreciate your help. She might even hate you for the things you’ve done for her. Have you heard of the story about the farmer and the snake? A farmer rescued a snake, but that snake killed the farmer instead. I hope you can learn something from this story,” Michael knitted his brows and said.

“Do you think she’s the snake in the story? I know she hates me, but I don’t think she’s a vicious person. She should know that I’m helping her.”

I know what Michael is trying to say, but I don’t think he’s right. I’m well aware that Janette will never thank me for the things I’d done for her, and I’m all right with that. But will she really take it out on me in the future? I don’t think so. She’s not an evil person, after all.

“Humans can be even more cold-blooded than animals, Anna. Have you seen the hatred in Janette’s eyes when she looks at you? What if one day, she goes bonkers and hurts you?” Michael raised his brows.

His words sent chills down my spine for a moment. But still, I thought Michael’s metaphor was a little ridiculous. Janette may not see eye to eye with me about many things, but I’m certain she’s not an evil person. Besides, I’m her half-sister. I don’t think she’ll do anything to harm me.

“That’s enough. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. I’m so tired that all I want is to take a shower and go to bed,” I said.

I disregarded Michael’s warning and went straight to the bathroom.

After a hot shower, I felt rejuvenated. By the time I got out of the bathroom, Michael was no longer reading. He was staring at me instead.

“What?” I looked at him and soon figured out what he wanted. “Oh, come on!”

I put my guard up and expressed my dismay.

“If you’d like, I can satisfy you tonight.” Michael raised his brows, and his lips curved into a seductive smirk.

His expression rendered me speechless. Do I look like I’m in the mood for intimacy? This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I told you I’m tired and not in the mood for anything. Don’t you dare force me to do anything against my will, for I’ll be more than happy to sleep in the guestroom all by myself!”

“Come here,” Michael said after glancing at my chest.

“Why?” I looked at him warily and asked.

“Why are you so afraid of me? I’m your man, you know.” Michael frowned.

He was not pleased with the wary look I had on my face.

“Of course, I’m afraid of you. You want to do it almost every night!” I mumbled and voiced out my dissatisfaction.

“You have three seconds to come over here. If you don’t, I’ll go to you instead. And if that happens, you won’t be able to stop me from doing anything to you!” Michael’s expression turned grim as he threatened me from a distance.

I responded with a frown. I didn’t want to go near him, but at the same time, I was worried that he might actually force himself on me. In the end, I had no choice but to walk up to him.
