Chapter 48 England
I pulled out the tube in my hands and picked up a chair beside me. I walked towards him slowly at his back. If I smash this on his head, he would die, right?
I lifted the chair, but put it down again. I couldn‘t do it!
If he die, I would go to jail......
“What? Just like that?” he asked, still looking out, his voice oddly calm.
The reflection from the window showed a man, tall and looking out, and a woman with a petite body, shorter than the man nearly a head.
I put the chair behind him and touched his shoulder. “You must be tired, sit.”
Lance tilted his head and glanced at me with the corner of his eyes, he finished his smoke and carried me to my bed. Then, he pressed the bell.
The nurse came in and helped me inject the needle and drip again.
“One more time of injection, aren‘t you pained?” Lance asked me, while helping me pull the covers over my body. Then he touched my face.
I smiled at him and said: “This is nothing to me.”
I mean something else in my words.
Lance gave me a lopsided grin and didn‘t say anything. He took out another cigarette but didn‘t light it. He just put it between his lips.
Such a precious moment, a moment of peacefulness between us.
Out of nowhere, he asked me about my student life.
“How many times have you dated?” what a weird question.
Tlaughed bitterly and answered him: “Mr, one needs time for relationships.”
He didn‘t get what I mean.
“You didn‘t have time to date in university? Why was my university life so relaxing?” he asked.
“Of course your life was relaxing, I‘m different. I had to work to pay for my tuition fees and my cost of living.”
Lance raised an eyebrow. “Are you kidding? Didn’t you take a lot of money from the

“Lance, did you forget what you did?” I lived a sad university life, unlike the rest of the people. It was very depressing.
“What did I do?” Lance asked with an innocent face that seemed to say: don‘t try to blame me for things I didn’t do.
I reminded him: “When I was still in high school, you were already the master of the house. Don‘t you remember? You told your father it‘s time for me to handle my own life and stop leeching off your family, so you cut off all my expenses.”
| quickly fake a laugh. “Of course not, the Mason‘s is not my family, Lance you are not anyone to me, so you don‘t have to pay for my anything, right?”
Lance nodded his head in agreement, he seemed to be satisfied with my answer. “Yeah, no matter what, you should also be grateful that my family still took care of you when you were a kid.”
“But how come I‘ve never seen your act of appreciation towards the family?”
I touched his chest and stared right into his eyes. “If my heart is black, is yours black too? People always say, never blame the younger generations for what their older generations did, I was only five, what did I know? What did I do to you to make you treat me so badly? Until now, you‘re still making me suffer, treating me like a dog. Isn‘t your heart black too?”
