Heh...

Mervyn didn't pause again but acted fiercely.

"Stop it!" Too weak to resist, Harriet cried and cursed, "Let me go, Mmm..."

Mervyn gagged her with his kiss!

Harriet closed her eyes and fell into silence in desperation. A low whimper came out of her throat...

She was gradually losing herself.

She felt parched and scorched all over. She didn't know what to do...

Now only the man could save her.

So, she held him more and more tightly and wouldn't let go even for a moment.

Both of them sweated and panted. Even their heartbeats were in sync...

Mervyn seemed inexhaustible! He couldn't have enough of it.

...

"Ah..."

Harriet bounced up from bed with a start and broke out in cold sweat.

She gasped and looked around in shock.

She was in... her apartment? What was going on? Why was she in the apartment?

Harriet held her head and shook it vigorously...

Was it a dream? Cream dream with that man all night? How was it possible? It was too real for a dream!

But if it wasn't, why was she in her apartment now?

Her mind was muddled. What was going on here?

She lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

She got a handful of cold water, patted her face, raised her head, and looked at herself in the mirror... There was a small wound on her lip, which hurt a little.

All of a sudden, she remembered that dreamy scene...

In the heat of passion, that man bit her!

Harriet broke out in a cold sweat and abruptly pulled open her pajamas... Her chest and shoulders were covered with hickeys!

It wasn't a dream; it was real! The small wound and the hickeys... were proof!

She was really with that man...

Harriet felt a shiver down her spine... Why did the man keep pestering her?

Harriet clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. No, she couldn't let that man do whatever he wanted! But now... her mind was blank.

Who was that man, exactly? How could they do such a thing?

She was clueless. What... should she do?

Faced with such a thing, Harriet found it hard to articulate her pain!

She buried her face in the sink.

When her cell phone rang outside, Harriet hurriedly got up and rushed over.

Steve? Harriet knitted her brows. What did he call her for?

Instead of picking it up, she tossed her phone aside. Then it rang again but was not from Steve this time.

"Hello?"

The call was from the hospital, and the nurse's tone was harsh.

"Ryan Wood's relative?"

"Yes." Harriet nodded.

"What's wrong with his relatives? None of you answer your calls! You leave him alone in the hospital? You give up on him? Is this what you mean?"

"Huh?" Harriet was stunned. To avoid Steve, she kept her phone off most of the time in the past few days.

"Miss, sorry... May I ask how my grandfather is?"

"The patient is in critical condition. There are new complications. None of you come... Whom would the doctor talk to?"

Harriet was shocked. None of the relatives were there?

She was appalled. Jerome Lopes, her father, didn't go either? How come...

Harriet clutched her hands. Jerome had been meaner to her grandfather in the past two years! Did he forget how he rose to the top?

"Miss, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Harriet immediately hailed a taxi and headed to Sea City Municipal Hospital.

If it was not for the hospital's call, Harriet nearly forgot that she still had relatives in Sea City! Her father was here.

But he already got a new family with a new wife and child...
