The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 120

Ben's gaze was venomous. "She smiled and said I was her and her boyfriend's matchmaker, thanking me for always delivering their flowers. She even said she'd invite me to their wedding."

"Later, when she saw it was me, she was shocked."

"She pointed at me and called me a liar, screaming that she would never like a man like me, then turned to run."

"I grabbed her by the hair. Watching her go from anger to pleading… I was disappointed."

"She was too noisy."

"It even ruined my mood."

"That time was too rushed. I wasn't satisfied at all. So, I laid low for a while and started looking for my second prey."

Nora listened quietly. Only when he fell silent did she speak. "Are you doing this to get revenge on them?"

"Revenge? Of course not."

Ben's denial was swift and firm. "I'm teaching them."

"Just like I taught that woman back then."

"Men are all bad. They could have lived ordinary, simple lives. But who asked them to be so cheap? Lured away by a few bouquets of flowers from a man. They deserved to die."

Nora didn't respond.

But Ben seemed to have a desperate need to talk. "Dr. Hayes, you're different from them."

Nora raised an eyebrow. "Oh? How so?"

Ben enjoyed talking to Nora.

She was cold.

As cold as that other woman.

But within her chest beat a fiery heart.

"They never wanted to listen to me talk. Every time they found out it was me, they would curse and scream and try to escape my control."

"Dr. Hayes, do you know how I handle those thorny flowers?"

Nora remained silent, but a hint of curiosity flickered in her eyes.

Ben smiled with satisfaction.

"I just run my hand straight down the stem."

Nora's voice trailed off. To hear her better, Ben leaned closer.

In that instant, Nora's eyes turned cold. She twisted her hands to lock around Ben's neck and kicked her legs with force.

Luckily, Ben had used soft strips of cloth instead of ropes to bind her.

She broke free with relative ease.

Ben, shocked that Nora dared to fight back, roared in anger and pulled out a syringe.

A familiar scent filled her nostrils, and Nora's expression changed.

This kind of knockout drug wasn't something a simple flower shop employee could get his hands on.

The thought flashed through Nora's mind, but she had no time to dwell on it. Ben had already broken free from her grasp and was lunging at her with the syringe.

"Dr. Hayes, you're disobedient, just like that woman."

"It's okay. I'll make you behave. You and your fiancé have never done it, have you?"

"Don't worry. I'll be very gentle."
