Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 63

Disregarding the fact that I cried, I was still writhing in Christopher’s arms. He hugged me, telling me not to be afraid and saying that he was by my side. I replied that I was still scared, then pressed into his embrace and bit his arm. Nevertheless, he did not make a sound. After the injection, he then patted my back and said comfortingly, “It’s over. Don’t be afraid. I’m here with you.”

How embarrassing. As a woman in her twenties, I was afraid of injections. What kind of situation was that? I replied stiffly, “I said I’m not.”

Yet, I could not help but look at his arm, which had the sleeve rolled up. As soon as I saw the row of teeth marks, I wanted to hide. Judging by the depth of the prints and the fact that they still had not faded, I had bitten him very hard.

“Okay, you’re not,” he said as he patted my head affectionately. Such a reaction from him made it look even more like I was acting cute to my boyfriend. Thus, my face grew even redder than before.

I rubbed my nose, avoiding his gentle gaze as I said quietly, “Yesterday, I pushed you away to save Lyle because he saved me before. I thought of it as a clean break. He saved me, and now I saved him, so we’re even now. We’ve already known each other for so long. This time, all our grudges would have passed.”

The man seemed to become more surprised after I spoke. A while later, he asked, “Are you explaining things to me?”

His words stunned me. Indeed, even if I cared for him in the past, I had only thought about it in my mind. However, right then, I had taken the initiative to explain things to him. Unknowingly, he had somehow become important to me.

“I just… I just think Lyle’s been bullying me. Despite that, I still went to help him when you came to help me. I feel a bit stupid, and I feel that I’m disappointing those who are helping me now. Don’t misunderstand, I just…”
