    However, the pain she imagined was slow toe.


    She could not help but open her eyes, only to see him holding her hand. He seemed to be looking at it


    intently before he asked softly, “Does it hurt?”


    Suddenly, an emotion that she could not exin came over her. It made her nose somewhat sore.


    He had always given her the illusion that he cherished her very much, but the fact was, he could easily


    abandon her!


    “Jason, don’t kiss me if you don’t love me! Don’t ask me whether the hand I used to p you on the


    face hurts. You’ll only disgust me!”


    She red at him, forcefully pulling her hand out of his


    fingers.


    Her long hair was unkempt while her face was red and pale. A few strands of hair stuck to her cheek,


    and there was an obvious trace of resistance in those jet-ck almond-shaped


    eyes.


    Jason’s face turned pale immediately as he staggered. Then, at


    sickening sensation came over him. He covered his mouth with. his hands, stumbled out of bed, and


    headed for the bathroom.


    In the next second, Grace heard the sound of vomiting in the bathroom.


    ‘He must have drunk too much that he’s now throwing up. It might do him some good!’


    Grace got out of bed and looked down at her right hand. The pain from having given that p was still


    lingering.


    She could not help but give a wry smile. It seemed that hitting someone would cause her pain as well.


    The sound of vomiting in the bathroom gradually went away. Jason still had note out of the


    bathroom after a long time, though. Grace guessed that he had passed out.


    Grace walked to the bathroom door and knocked before


    asking, “Jason, are… Are you okay?”


    There was no reply after a short wait.


    Therefore, she had to raise her voice. “Jason, can you hear


    me? Are you so drunk that you’ve fallen asleep in there? Why


    don’t I… knock three more times, and if you don’t open the


    door, I’lle in!”


    As she spoke, she bent her fingers and knocked on the bathroom door.


    After three knocks, there was still no movement inside. The  door remained closed.


    Grace then turned the handle and pushed open the door. She was only d Jason had not locked the


    door from the inside. Otherwise, she would have had to get a locksmith.


    In the bathroom, a figure was crouching in the corner. He seemed… to have passed out after being too


    drunk.


    Grace sighed inwardly. ‘He’s really drunk!”


    She went forward and bent over to help him to bed.


    It was only when she bent over that she realized it was not what she had imagined at all.

    He would be shivering every now and then. Although his eyes were tightly closed, his lips were pressed


    into a straight line. He was frowning, and his face was as white as a sheet of paper. Beads of sweat


    oozed from his forehead, trickling down his cheeks.


    ‘He doesn’t look like he fell asleep because he’s too drunk!’


    Grace said quickly, “What’s the matter? Are you okay?”


    His eyshes quivered, and he slowly opened his eyes. Her face was reflected in those dark eyes of


    his. “Don’t you hate. me? Why do you care?”


    She choked. The man who was so powerful in Emerald City and feared by so many somehow made


    her feel that he was throwing tantrums like a naughty child.
