“Does it hurt badly Athena tried to press his shoulder with her other hand, but he caught that one too and pulled her into his

The masculine scent on him hit her, making her dizzy

At this point, Kander was completely under the drug’s control. His body trembled, and sweat continued to pour out

Even though he had lost most of his consciousness, he kept whispering, “Can’t hurt Athena.can’t hurt Athena…

Xander shook his head, panting, his blurred eyes fixed on her. He was trying to stay in control, but it was futile

Athena frowned slightly, but now wasn’t the time to feel sorry for him.

She quickly stabbed another needle.

He suddenly flipped over and pinned her to the bed. The heat of the drug filled the air between them.

Athena’s heart pounded like a drum. She immediately pressed on his acupoint. “Don’t move. If the needle shits, even a god can’t save you

She was gambling, Xander was a soldier. Even under drugged confusion, the instincts carved into his bones should still keep him cautious.

Xander stared at her with vacant eyes. Athena used that brief moment of distraction to bring her knee up to his abdomen, and with a swift motion, plunged the final silver needle,

Xander’s entire body convulsed violently as the drug’s power slowly drained through the needles.

Once the last tinge of pink faded from his skin, he collapsed onto the bed. Athens was drenched in sweat from the ordeal.

The two of them looked like they had just been dragged out of the water Athena took a deep breath and tried to get up, only to find his hand still stubbornly wrapped around her waist.

She looked down at Kander’s closed eyes and couldn’t help but let out a sot laugh

Then she tried to pry his hand of

But even unconscious, his grip was frighteningly strong

After everything that just happened, Athena didn’t have the strength to fight him anymore.

So she simply pulled a blanket between them and lay there to catch her breath

She planned to rest for just fifteen minutes and then get up. But she didn’t expect that once she closed her eyes, she would fall asleep completely

When sunlight filtered through the window the next morning and hit her bed, Athena suddenly opened her eyes.

She panicked. She had accidentally fallen asleep last night,

She turned and met another pair of groggy eyes Xander was staring at her with a misture of shock and guilt. “Athena, I’m sorry I didn’t mean for this to happen. Il take responsibility. Let’s get married, alright?”

He had no idea what had happened the night before

When he woke up and saw Athena lying next to him on the same bed, his feelings were complicated

He assumed the detox must have failed, and Athena had used herself as the antidote to save him.

Xander cursed himself for being a beast, yet part of him secretly rejoiced.

Now that they had crossed this line, Athena couldn’t get rid of him

anymore…

Athena blinked, sat up, stretched her arms, and replied, “You’re overthinking it. Nothing happened last night”

She got out of bed to drink some water. Although she appeared calm, her hand was trembling as she gripped the kettle

This was embarrassing. She had slept so soundly until morning

Athena thought to herself, “How careless!”

And now Xander misunderstood and thought they needed to marry.

When he said “let’s get married,” her heart almost stopped beating

He was a dignified prince. He couldn’t just marry her.

Suddenly, her waist tightened Xander hugged her from behind.

His voice was low and a bit shameless. “I don’t care. We were alone together and slept on the same bed. No one will believe that nothing happened. You have to take responsibility, I’ll marry you, or you marry me. Pick one.”
