Every time, when pushed to the dead end, she had risked everything to protect herself like today, and on the surface she had won, but no one knew how her feeling of fear.
She gloomily got up, and directly took a taxi home. After arriving home, used the landline to make a call to Kevin. The family here was anxious, looking everywhere for her, and she didn’t take the phone with her. Kevin’s phone rang. He quickly answered, “Hello?”
“It’s me.”
Hearing Bella’s voice, he questioned rather angrily, “Where have you been? Everyone’s looking for you.”
“I’m a little sick. I went home, sorry…”
“What’s troubling you? Why did you go back without saying a word?”
“I didn’t want to spoil your fun, so I didn’t tell you. Please apologize to parents for me.”
“Do you feel awful? I’m going home now.”
Kevin heard that something was wrong with her and hurriedly hung up to go home.
“It’s okay, you can come back when you’re done eating. I’m much better already.”
“I finished. That’s all.”
He hung up the phone and said to the family gathered around him, “Don’t worry, she just got a little sick and went home.”
Blanche was relieved, “I thought she was abducted. It’s good that she’s home.”
“But, what’s wrong with her? Is it serious?”
“She said it’s fine. I’m going back now to take a look.”
Kevin picked up the car keys and left the hotel. Lena scratched her head in confusion, “Bella isn’t that weak. Why is she uncomfortable suddenly?”
She may be tired from the day’s flight. You shouldn’t propose to eat out. It’s so good to eat and rest at home.”
Patrick grumbled and glared at his wife.
Kevin drove the car to the front door of the house, and went straight into the living room upstairs. He pushed open the bedroom door. Bella was lying on the bed resting. He quietly walked over and caressed her forehead.
Bella suddenly opened her eyes, struggling to sit up, “Back?”
“Well, do you feel better?”
“I told you I was fine. Are Mom and Dad back?”
“Not yet, I came back first.”
Kevin saw a band-aid on her collarbone and asked anxiously, “What’s going on?”
“Oh it’s okay, I got hit by a car on the way back.”
“Were you hit by a car?”
Kevin broke out in a cold sweat and nervously stripped her of her clothes, “Where else did you get hurt? Let me see.”
“No more. It’s not serious at all.”
Bella looked at his nervous appearance and was both touching and guilty. She felt bad since she deceived her lover who cared so much about her.
“No, it’s still necessary to go to the hospital for a full body examination.”
Kevin unceremoniously pulled her up, and wanted to take her to the hospital. Bella struggled, “No, I’m fine. You can check.”
She spun around hard in front of him a few times, “I’m really fine.”
He sighed and ordered, “From tomorrow you’ll drive yourself, no more cabs outside.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re hurt, I’ll be sad.”
Her eyes were red-rimmed and she stretched out her arms around his neck, “Thank you, thank you. Nothing means more to me right now than you, Kevin…”
After the in-laws went home, they went upstairs one after another to visit Bella, and when they saw that she was in quite a good state, they were all relieved as well.
Blanche still did not forget to remind her about the philter pills. Bella strongly promised, “I know, I understand…” before she was relieved to go out.
Kevin took a bath. Bella thought deeply, and decided to still confess everything to him. Why not take a gamble? There was a chance to win.
She didn’t dare to guarantee that she would be as lucky as today. She couldn’t threaten someone with her life every time.
Feeling the pill from pocket, she hesitated to do as she was told. Although she didn’t believe that a person’s love could be determined by a pill, she hoped that it would really work that well to preserve the love that was hard to have.
“What are you thinking about?”
Kevin had come out and stood behind her, frightening her into a panicked question, “Why are you sneaking around?”
“I’ve been out for half a while, but you’ve been thinking too attentively haven’t you?”
She clutched the pills into her hand, “Do you want to work in the study? If you don’t work, I…”
“What are you doing?”
He asked ambiguously up front.
“I’m going to take a shower…” She whispered, and rushed into the bathroom.
Bella closed the door and took a deep breath. Luckily he didn’t find the pills in her hand, otherwise she would have to be so embarrassed.
Standing next to the mirror, she carefully scrutinized the injury at the collarbone, and then glanced at the hand of the elixir, finally decided to take a desperate gamble. But soon she was worried, because Blanche did not tell her who should take the pill.
She was ready to take a shower before thinking about how to do. While washing, she was thinking about who should take the pill.
Kevin saw that she hadn’t come out, so he came to the bathroom and knocked, “Are you asleep?”
“No.”
“Then what’s taking so long?”
“I’ll be right out.”
She took a towel and haphazardly dried the water stains on her body, and swallowed the pills directly into her stomach.
When she went out, Kevin was lazily lying on the bed watching TV. She walked over, “I want to read a book.”
He was stunned and nodded, “Alright.”
She moved to master bedroom, and the former small secret room became her study. She pulled open the door to the study room, turned on the laptop by the table, quickly typed the name of the pill. She didn’t except that it was an ancient palace secret recipe for the emperor …
The erotic description completely shocked Bella and she rushed around the room, mumbling, “What do we do? What to do…”
The antidote? Right. Before the medicine took effect, she should hurry up and ask Blanche for the antidote.
She ran out of the room in a panic and went straight to Blanche’s bedroom door, knocking gently, “Mom, Mom, come out for a moment.”
Blanche opened the door in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
Pulling her to the side, she whispered urgently, “Is there an antidote?”
“What do you mean?”
Blanche was a bit confused by her words.
“I took that pill…”
“It’s good to eat it. It’s the same for anyone who eats it.”
“But…” She was having trouble saying it, “But… I regret it… Is there a cure or not?”
“My son is the antidote.”
Blanche covered her mouth and giggled, embarrassing Bella. She stomped in annoyance, “I must be crazy to have taken that pill.”
She returned to her room and found that Kevin wasn’t on the bed, and was confused. When she saw the door to the small secret room open, she ran over. Kevin was sitting at her table, looking curiously at the web page she had just forgotten to close.
She was gonna insane. She strode forward and blocked the computer with her body, “Don’t look.”
Kevin looked askance at her, and teasingly ridiculed, “I really don’t expect that you are interested in these pills.”
“I’m not…”
Bella simply couldn’t explain clearly.
More importantly, she now had a strange feeling in her body, feeling very hot and wanting to be loved.
The hotness was getting stronger. She no longer dared to look at the man in front of her and violently pushed him out, “I’ll sleep in my own room tonight, good night.”
Kevin was pushed out the door by her, but reached out, dragged her into his arms and stretched out his long fingers to caress her cheek, “You have eaten that thing, right?” Bella was scared and stammered, “No… no… no… ”
“Why is your body so hot? Why is your face red?”
Bella’s legs went limp and she fell completely into his arms, not because of the strong effect of the drug, but she was shameful by his words.
Kevin carried Bella who was soft and weak in his arms, came to the bedside and leaned down to kiss her.
After a long time, Bella was exhausted, fainted and fell asleep in Kevin’s arms. She woke up in the middle of the night, saw a messy bed, and blushed. She ran barefoot to the bathroom to take a shower. Her sweat had long been dried, but the smell of lust was still there.
She put on a towel to go out, crept to the sofa, gently lay down, but didn’t dare to sleep beside Kevin.
She had to admit that the pill given by Blanche really very powerful. After such a long time, she actually still had the desire, but the desire wasn’t uncontrolled.
After a night of inordinate entanglement, they had been sleeping until noon the next day. Kevin looked at the time and said in frustration, “Damn, there’s an important meeting to be held in the morning.”
