However, the pain she imagined was slow to come.
She could not help but open her eyes, only to see him holding her hand. He seemed to be looking at it intently before he asked softly, Does it hurt?
Suddenly, an emotion that she could not explain came over her. It made her nose somewhat sore.
He had always given her the illusion that he cherished her very much, but the fact was, he could easily abandon her!
Jason, dont kis me if you dont love me! Dont ask me whether the hand I used to slap you on the face hurts. Youll only disgust me!
She glared at him, forcefully pulling her hand out of his
fingers.
Her long hair was unkempt while her face was red and pale. A few strands of hair stuck to her cheek, and there was an obvious trace of resistance in those jet-black almond-shaped
eyes.
Jasons face turned pale immediately as he staggered. Then, at
sickening sensation came over him. He covered his mouth with. his hands, stumbled out of bed, and headed for the bathroom.
In the next second, Grace heard the sound of vomiting in the bathroom.
He must have drunk too much that hes now throwing up. It might do him some good!
Grace got out of bed and looked down at her right hand. The pain from having given that slap was still lingering.
She could not help but give a wry smile. It seemed that hitting someone would cause her pain as well.
The sound of vomiting in the bathroom gradually went away. Jason still had not come out of the bathroom after a long time, though. Grace guessed that he had passed out.
Grace walked to the bathroom door and knocked before
asking, Jason, are Are you okay?
There was no reply after a short wait.
Therefore, she had to raise her voice. Jason, can you hear
me? Are you so drunk that youve fallen asleep in there? Why
dont I knock three more times, and if you dont open the
door, Ill come in!
As she spoke, she bent her fingers and knocked on the bathroom door.
After three knocks, there was still no movement inside. The door remained closed.
Grace then turned the

handle and pushed open the door. She was only glad Jason had not locked the door from the inside. Otherwise, she would have had to get a locksmith.
In the bathroom, a figure was crouching in the corner. He seemed to have passed out after being too drunk.
Grace sighed inwardly. Hes really drunk!
She went forward and bent over to help him to bed.
It was only when she bent over that she realized it was not what she had imagined at all.
He would be shivering every now and then. Although his eyes were tightly closed, his lips were pressed into a straight line. He was frowning, and his face was as white as a sheet of paper. Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, trickling down his cheeks.
He doesnt look like he fell asleep because hes too drunk!
Grace said quickly, Whats the matter? Are you okay?
His eyelashes quivered, and he slowly opened his eyes. Her face was reflected in those dark eyes of his. Dont you hate. me? Why do you care?
She choked. The man who was so powerful in Emerald City and feared by so many somehow made her feel that he was throwing tantrums like a naughty child.
