Chapter 122


    Chapter 120


    I wanted to rify things with Nichs, but he ignored me and instructed me, "Get in the car first. I''m


    taking you somewhere."


    He seemed incredibly persistent, and I opened the passenger seat door with unease, hopping in. Right


    after I got in, he locked the doors, and I asked concernedly, "Have you been in Goldshore this whole


    time? When did you wake up?"


    "Only a few days," he answered curtly.


    "Oh, how are you feeling now?"


    "Fine."


    After I got into the car, Nichs seemed very aloof, as if he didn''t want to speak with me. Noticing the


    situation, I shut my mouth tacitly.


    He started the engine and drove toward the beach. On the way, I struggled with how I should tell him


    what was on my mind because I had a lot of guilt toward him.


    At the beach, he stopped the car and unfastened his seatbelt before passing me a bottle of water, and I


    took a drink from it. Soon, I started to feel my body heating up, and even though it was a familiar


    feeling, I didn''t sense anything amiss.


    After Nichs got out of the car, he stood on the beach, his back looking very lonely, and just as I was


    about to follow suit, my phone rang.


    It was a call from Chairman Forger. Why did he suddenly give me a call? I wondered, picking up the


    call with hesitation. "Hello, Chairman Forger," I greeted gently.


    Anxiously, he asked, "Where are you?"


    "What is it?" I asked, puzzled.


    "Are you with Nichs?"


    At first, I wanted to tell him ''yes'', but when I recalled his attitude toward me now, I reflexively denied it.


    "No." I paused and feigned surprise. "Isn''t he—"


    He exined in a rare disy of patience, "Nichs is still alive, but he was unconscious for three


    months and just woke up almost a month ago."


    A month?! I repeated in my head, shocked. Didn''t he just tell me that it has only been a few days?


    After a few seconds, he added, "You have to stay away from him if he appears next to you, or else


    you''ll be in danger! Renee, even though I hated you before, I still care about you in the end. So, if


    Nichs appears, you have to avoid him!"


    I looked at the man outside the car window and asked, "Why?"


    "He''ll hurt you because he wants his revenge on you!"


    His words were still echoing through the phone when Nichs turned back to look at me from the


    beach as though he had some telepathy and shed me a smirk.


    Startled, I looked at him and realized that my body was burning. At the same time, Chairman Forger


    had hung up, and as Nichs paced toward me with heavy steps, fear built up in me out of the blue.


    Hurriedly, I dialed Shawn''s number, but before the call could get through, Nichs opened my door,


    and I quickly hid my phone in my bag.


    "I would like to go home," I soid tentotively.


    He osked with o roised brow, "Why?"


    "Nicholos, I feel thot there''s something stronge obout you."


    "Hm? Am I not the some person?" He norrowed his eyes ond osked, "Aren''t you the one who knows


    my body the best?" Suddenly, he grobbed my hond ond soid sorcosticolly, "Which port of me hove you


    not kissed yet?"


    Speechless, I wondered if my coll to Shown wos connected. If it wos, I wonted to hong up immediotely.


    Just when I wonted to whisk out my phone to hong up the coll, he pulled me out of the cor forcibly. The


    look in his eyes wos cold os he soid, "It''s been o long time since we did it, right? Should we do it now?"


    "Whot do you meon?" I osked, my lips trembling.


    "Isn''t your body burning?" he osked insteod.


    At the mention of this, I reolized thot my body wos burning, ond I suddenly remembered the drink he


    hod given me.


    "Did you drug me?" I gosped, surprised.


    "Yes."


    I crowled over, reoched out, ond gripped his trousers os I begged, "Pleose help me, Sunny! This


    doesn''t meon onything, ond I won''t use this to threoten you to be with me!"


    "I would like to go home," I said tentatively.


    He asked with a raised brow, "Why?"


    "Nichs, I feel that there''s something strange about you."


    "Hm? Am I not the same person?" He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Aren''t you the one who knows


    my body the best?" Suddenly, he grabbed my hand and said sarcastically, "Which part of me have you


    not kissed yet?"


    Speechless, I wondered if my call to Shawn was connected. If it was, I wanted to hang up immediately.


    Just when I wanted to whisk out my phone to hang up the call, he pulled me out of the car forcibly. The


    look in his eyes was cold as he said, "It''s been a long time since we did it, right? Should we do it now?"


    "What do you mean?" I asked, my lips trembling.

    "Isn''t your body burning?" he asked instead.


    At the mention of this, I realized that my body was burning, and I suddenly remembered the drink he


    had given me.


    "Did you drug me?" I gasped, surprised.


    "Yes."


    I crawled over, reached out, and gripped his trousers as I begged, "Please help me, Sunny! This


    doesn''t mean anything, and I won''t use this to threaten you to be with me!"
