Chapter 1897


    Persephone had indeed quieted down, but her ws were still out.


    Morpheus looked at her with an undecipherable look.


    “Outside…” Persephone also heard themotion and nced at Morpheus.


    Morpheus nodded slightly at her.


    Oddly enough, how did he know that she wanted to ask if those people outside were the ones who had


    brought her here?


    Morpheus leaned in close to her ear and whispered, “It’s Kourtney and Fat Jim. They came


    intentionally to test us.”


    Persephone was puzzled. Test? Weren’t those two clearly traffickers? Greta had been bought by them!


    Morpheus asked, “Hey, can you moan?”


    “Moan… about what?”


    Morpheus smirked, swiftly lifting her by the waist and tossing her onto the bed.


    Persephone was startled. She hit her head on the headboard and felt dizzy instantly.


    The next moment, Morpheus pressed down on her!


    Persephone screamed, kicking and resisting with all her might, but to no avail. It was then that she


    finally understood the saying about an insignificant insect trying to take on a giant tree.

    She was the little bug, and he was the robust tree!


    Morpheus supported himself by her ears, using his gaze to signal her to stop screaming. However,


    Persephone, never having experienced such a scare, lost all rationality and wit at that moment. She


    was going to scream—she was too frightened!


    Morpheus frowned, swiftly grabbing a clean cloth and gagging her.


    A surge of grievance and shame burst forth, transforming into big tears streaming down Persephone’s


    cheeks.


    Morpheus suddenly felt a pang in his heart. He took a deep breath and growled a few times, his


    breathing bing noticeably heavier. Persephone stopped crying, staring at him nkly.


    She didn’t quite understand why he was growling and panting like that. What was he trying to do?


    Morpheus supported himself on the bed, looking at the girl beneath him. Shey there quietly with tear


    streaks on her face, her big eyes clear and innocent. Her hands were still defensively covering her


    chest. Her skirt was lifted, revealing fair and slender legs.


    The heavy pants and low growls he made just now were deliberate for the people outside to hear.


    However, as he looked at her now, an unexpected restlessness arose within him. Something wanted to

    Morpheus bit his lip, the brief pain jolting him back to reality, and that restless part subsided.


    Persephone’s mind went nk, staring at him, but he seemed unwilling to let her look. After confirming


    she wouldn’t scream again, he gently removed the cloth from her mouth and then blindfolded her with


    it.


    Then, Persephone felt a gentle hand rubbing her head, particrly where she had bumped earlier.


    After some time passed, there was no more movement outside. Morpheus slowly got up. Persephone


    stayed dumbfounded for a while before getting up and pulling off the blindfold. She tilted her head


    slightly, noticing sweat stains on the sheets.


    He had just supported himself in a nk position for over half an hour.


    Persephone took a deep breath and looked up to see Morpheus taking off his shirt and changing into a


    clean one. She gasped, covering her eyes with her hand.


    Morpheus turned to look at her, chuckling. “Never seen a man shirtless before?”


    Persephone sat on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees and not responding.


    “I just took off my shirt, not my pants. You okay?”


    “You…”


    “Drink.” Morpheus offered a cup.


    Persephone nced at him, very thirsty but hesitating to take it.


    “There’s no drug in it,” Morpheus said.
