"Sawyer...Are you trying to...take advantage of me?"
In a state of intoxication, Amelia's voice was particularly charming although she had never meant to speak in this way.
Sawyer felt offended by her rejection, he replied coldly, "You've been thinking too much. I just want to check on you."
Once again, Amelia rejected sternly, "There's no need to... Please just leave me alone!"
At this moment, she did not want any men to come near her, let alone touching her as this would only torture her more. She wished for nothing but to be left alone.
Sawyer raised his eyebrows as he sneered, "This is my room. It's your honor that I let you stay here out of mercy. Don't forget where you stand."
Despite shivering agitatedly, Amelia managed to make herself clear, "Fine... Can you please... stay as far away as possible from me? I don't want...
anything inappropriate to happen... between us!"
Sawyer shot her with a cold stare. He was keen to see how long could she hold back herself from
breaking down!
At that moment, he intentionally came to sit on the edge of the bed. He began to rest his eyes as he had his legs crossed cozily.
It was undeniable that Sawyer was extraordinarily good-looking. Most of the women would not be able to resist his silent invitation as he sat on the bed luring women into having sex with him. It was needless to say as for Amelia who had been spiked. In order to refrain herself from doing anything reckless, she had to keep herself next to the wall and bite the back of her hand forcefully!
At this moment, pain was the only thing that could keep her sober!
Sawyer had completely lost track of time when he gradually opened his eyes.
He glanced at his watch first before he peeked at Amelia who had already curled herself into a ball at the corner of the bed.
He had to admit that he had been underestimating her. It had been more than half an hour since then yet she refused to surrender herself.
He stared back at her and broke the silence, "Do you need me to get you a doctor?"
Despite holding grudge against him, Amelia knew very well that it was not the right time to spite.
Hence, she replied, "Mmhmm..."
"But, I need to inform you with regret that this club prohibits any unauthorized persons to enter into its premise.
What Amelia understood from his sentence was that he had basically made fun out of her! There was no way that he could get her a doctor in the first place!
Followed by the sudden trigger, a rush of blood began to circulate in her body vividly. The effort that she had been vesting into suppressing her desire all this while immediately went to avail.
She could not help but let out a soft groan. In the next second, she used all her strength in biting her hand. All in a sudden, a hint of sweet yet rusty taste began to flood her tongue.
In light of his business, Sawyer's nose was particularly sharp when it came to the smell of drugs and blood.
As soon as Sawyer smelled the faint trace of rusty smell lingering in the air, his expression darkened unnoticeably. He reached out to Amelia and forced her into facing him. His attention was immediately drawn to the back of her left hand which was covered in blood. Even so, she was still attempting to worsen her wounds!
He had never seen any other women who would be so cruel to herself!
Sawyer's gaze could not get any colder at this moment. He had to deliberate on all considerations of his subsequent action. There was no doubt that he could have simply turned around and left Amelia to suffer at this place. However, at the same time he could not overlook the fact that both Abner and Kaiden needed her.
At the thought of this, Sawyer contained his anger as he offered, "Are you sure that you don't need my help? Perhaps I can get you some cold water to make you feel better."
Amelia startled at the first part of his sentence before she sighed in relief upon hearing the kind of help he offered.
A while ago she was still convinced that he was going to take advantage ago when he offered to help.
It turned out that she had been too nervous that she had completely forgotten the fact that he was obsessively in love with Sissi. There was no way that he was going to touch any other women.
At the thought of this, Amelia heaved a sigh of relief secretly.
She gradually released her severely wounded hand from her mouth. Just as she was about to accept his offer, Sawyer added, "Or maybe I can get you a man..."
A hint of panic flashed across her eyes before she said determinedly, "Get me cold water now!"
Sawyer was not in a hurry when he headed to the bathroom and began filling a pail with cold water. He then came to the refrigerator and found himself a bucket of ice cubes. After pouring the bucket of ice into the pail of cold water, it was only then he returned to Amelia with the pail of iced water.
The towel alone was far not enough to keep her afloat!
She was desperate to put a stop on all those burning sensation in her body. Hence, she requested, "I need to bathe in cold water!'
Sawyer paused his hand movement before he explained, "This is not just cold water. I've put a bucket of ice in it. It's much colder than cold water."
At this moment it finally made sense to her why would the towel work instantly in easing her suffering.
Amelia could not help cry out immediately, "I want and need to bathe in it!"
Out of kindness, Sawyer decided to remind the woman in front of him who was probably losing her mind, "Of course I can make it happen for you, provided that you don't mind hurting the child of you and Patrick."
When Amelia heard Sawyer's words, Amelia fell back into silence instantly.
She was probably not in her right mind. She could not believe that she would end up making such ridiculous request.
She her red lips and murmured, "Forget about it."
"Hmm." Sawyer continued cooling the temperature of her face down. He then said, "Raise up your arms now."
Amelia hurriedly did as per told.
At the sight of her bare arms which were covered with countless bruises, a cruel smile began to creep onto the corner of his lips. In the next second, he placed the towel on it before he abruptly pressed it against those bruises.
Amelia was swept away by a surge of sharp pain, and could not help grunting. As a result, her arms trembled more agitatedly.
Sawyer asked the obvious, "What's wrong?"
Amelia blinked away her emotion as she replied, "Nothing."
Sawyer decided to speak for her, "You feel the
pain, don't you?"
