Chapter 94


    The Merman, My Man by ck Velvet Chapter 94


    The wound on my back was rather severe. Luckily, Gary found a first aid kit on the ship. I had wanted


    to treat the injury myself, but it was too inconvenient for me to reach it. I didn’t want to ask Laura for


    help, so I had no choice but to ask Gary to help me.


    Iid face-down on the bed as it was not only convenient for Gary to apply the medicine, but it also


    prevented me from revealing too much skin.


    “Your clothes are stuck onto the wound. I’m going to lift your clothes up, so bear with it for a bit, “ Gary


    said strictly.


    I nodded and buried my face into the pillow. I was aware of the situation of the wound on my back, so I


    bit the pillow and prepared myself mentally for what was toe.


    But the pain was so unbearable it felt like my flesh was being torn apart. It was so intolerable that my


    body involuntarily tensed up, and I clenched my fists. I couldn’t help but yell, “Go easy on me! F*ck! “


    Gary’s face darkened, but he didn’t reply. He just hastened his movements and tore the clothes off my


    back. He then used a saline solution to clean my wound before wrapping it with bandages doused in

    medicine.


    The pain was so intense that my teeth became numb, and my mind went nk. I could only let Gary


    have free rein. After he had finished treating my wound, he let out a long sigh as he covered me with a


    nket.


    After hesitating for a while, Gary finally said, ” Linda, I’m sorry. That day in the cabin, it was because of


    me that you… ”


    Gary’s apology actually sounded quite sincere. Since I had known him, he always seemed like the type


    who loved joking around so that all the students would adore him. This was the first time that he had


    ever apologized to me genuinely.


    However, our rtionship was not as innocent as just a professor and a student. He had cooperated


    with the government behind my back, and not to mention he had also attempted to rape me. With that


    in mind, I felt very awkward and hid my face partially within the nket.


    ”It’s not like that, Gary. ” I tried my best to sound like how I usually did. Then, I continued. ”You don’t


    need to apologize to me. You’ve been my professor for three years now and you have helped me a lot


    during this time. There’s no way I could sit still and do nothing. But… as for whatever happened in that


    cabin, could you just pretend you never saw anything? Just think of it as an atonement. Could you do


    that?”


    Gary stared at me sympathetically. The expression on his face was odd like he had wanted to say


    something but couldn’t get the words out of his mouth.


    The truth was, I could guess what he had wanted to say. It must have been too big of a shock for him to


    see me giving myself to Dicken. So, he was apologizing because he thought I gave my body to Dicken


    for Gary’s sake.


    In fact, he was not too far off the mark. But since he and I had a professor-student rtionship, I didn’t


    want him to misunderstand anything.


    I was worried he would think that I had given myself to a beast because I was fond of him.


    ‘If he is thinking this way, then it’ll be too awkward if I were to say anything!’


    To break the awkward silence, I decided to change the topic. I pretended to be calm and asked, “Where


    is this ship headed to? Since you’ve involved me in your schemes, I should have the right to know this


    much, right? Will you please answer me, Gary?“


    Gary took in a nervous breath and remained silent for a while before he finally said, “To a group of


    inds called Lemend.“


    I was stunned and couldn’t help but blurt out in response, “What?“


    “Legend has it that the inds are the ce of rest for merpeople. Have you heard of it before?“


    I furrowed my brows. There was no way they were headed there just to sightsee. I asked, “What are


    you going there for?“


    I recalled the American military emblem that I saw that day in the cabin. rmed, I pressed him further,


    “Gary, are your ns in ordance with the Japanese government? Why were there men from the


    American military disguised as pirates to attack your boat? And why has Henry been tailing us since


    the beginning?”
