Chapter 1708
Felix swept Carol off her feet, cradling her sideways as he strode into the house.
Her cheeks burned with a flush, buried in his embrace.
Darkness enveloped her once more as he blindfolded her with an eye mask.
"Felix?"
She heard the sounds of his departure, the sshing of water, and the unmistakable gulp of swallowing.
"What are you eating?"
"Vitamins."
His voice was nonchnt as he nced briefly at his crotch and headed into the room.
Carol remained still, and as he moved over her, she wrapped her arms around his neck.
After the love-making, shey panting in his arms.
Felix rolled off the bed, not lingering, and went to reheat the dinner that had gone cold.
Carol felt genuinely hungry by then, and after a shower, she walked out to the dining table, her limbs weak.
The food was ready and warm.
Just as Felix was about to sit down, his phone rang.
It was the hospital, perhaps Listina had regained her ability to speak.
His eyshes fluttered, and he leaned down to press a kiss on Carol''s forehead.
"I''ve got to step out for a bit, honey. Start without me."
Carol felt vulnerable and cravedpany, especially from her boyfriend.
But she had already disrupted his work enough, so she nodded obediently.
"Okay."
Felix left swiftly, and for a moment Carol felt as if he was relieved to go.
But the sight of the food in front of her dispelled her doubts.
She must be overthinking it.
She ate her meal in peace and then curled up on the couch, falling into a deep sleep.
Waking in the middle of the night, Felix still hadn''t returned.
She checked her phone — it was three in the morning. Had he gone back to his ce?
Just as she was about to call him, her phone chimed with an iing call.
Felix''s voice was hoarse.
"Carol, I''ve run into some trouble."
Her heart skipped a beat. What kind of trouble would keep him out sote?
“Felix, we''re a couple. Whatever it is, you can tell me. I''ll help however | can."N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
But he sighed on the other end and hung up.
Disturbed, Carol quickly dressed and rushed downstairs.
Her car wasn''t at the apartment — to maintain the facade of being broke, she usually took the bus.
But the buses had stopped running, so she had to hail a cab.
She directed the driver toward Felix''s location, but as she descended the stairs, she noticed a trio of thugs smoking by a
lamppost.
They looked familiar, and she tensed.
Their gazes shifted to her, their eyes lighting up.
"Isn''t that the pretty little thing from the other night? What''s she doing out here?"
"Who cares why she''s here? Let''s just bang her."
"She''s a real looker, alright. Couldn''t stop thinking about herst time."
Carol recognized them now. What were they doing here?
She turned to flee, but they caught up quickly, forcing her into a nearby car.
“Run all you want, sweetheart. We let you go once, not this time."

The thugs were startled; one was nearly hit as he stood outside.
As Carol regained her senses, she kicked the man away and scrambled out of the car.

The thugs shrank back at the sight of him.
They thought he wasn''ting back tonight.
One thug took a heavy kick to the head, his senses swimming as he spat out blood.
Felix turned to the other standing thug, who yelped in terror.
"Felix, what are you doing? Remember what happenedst time!"
Before he could finish, Felix delivered a brutal kick to his stomach.
The man flew back a meter, coughed up blood, and passed out.
