The merman, my man novel Chapter 168

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 168
Ugh, I suddenly remembered Laura’s instructions. She threatened to kill Peter and the others if I did not complete her requested task. However, I was unable to draw Dicken’s blood.
I looked around vigilantly, then slowly moved closer to Dicken, blocking my movement with my body.
Then I took out the needle in my pocket and pierced Dicken’s arm as if I wanted to, but I covered the position of the syringe with my body and then plunged into my arm.
I was confident that I could conceal the movements captured by the surveillance camera. From that vantage point, they’d think I drew Dickens’ blood.
“Linda! “ Dicken lowered his head, looked at me, and panted heavily. Then he bit my ear as if to punish me for hurting myself.
But his punishment did not deter me, and I continued until the syringe was full of my blood. My blood color had changed to a mix of red and blue, which surprised me. It was a purple-red color, and it was undeniably the result of my two transformations. My blood would turn the same dark blue as Dicken’s if the mutation continued.
Although there was a distinct difference between Dicken and my blood, Laura had never actually come into contact with Dicken’s fresh blood. I discovered a long time ago that when Dicken’s blood was exposed
to air, it condensed into a solid-state. The blood could not be tested unless drawn from the body like I was doing right now. Laura, I’m sure, was aware of it as well. That’s why she told me to draw blood from Dicken.
So my blood color would now deceive them.
From a biological standpoint, I was no longer a human or a mermaid. Among the two forms, I was a strange species. On the other hand, merpeople were a completely new species to Laura. They didn’t have enough information to tell the difference between the merpeople and me. A genetic test was a large- scale and time-consuming project, and this was enough to put them through hell for a long time.
When I thought of this, I couldn’t help but smile. I then placed the syringe in a sterile bag. I raised the sterile bag and motioned it around in the dim light, indicating that I had fulfilled their request.
“Dicken, I’ll protect myself, ” I said quietly. Who should I look for to save you?”
I immediately remembered the massive monitor lizard I saw at the mermen’s antiquity. I was about to ask Dicken, but he seemed to have anticipated my thoughts a long time ago. “Ka-li-rna-di, go back there…” he spits out a few syllables.
”I understand, ” I immediately understood what he said and nodded.
I needed to find a way to get past Laura’s defenses. I needed to regain some of my freedom to return to the antiquity, find the giant monitor lizard, and inform it of Dicken’s current situation.
Although I was unsure whether the massive monitor lizard could withstand the army’s bullets, it was undeniably the most dangerous threat at the time.
A cold voice from the cabin interrupted my thought at this moment, ”Come back immediately after getting the blood. Are you still going to date your lover there?”
B*stard, despicable woman !
I clenched my fist and stroked Dicken’s chest gently. I was checking to see if I had missed any minor wounds. I noticed him lowering his blue eyes. His gaze engulfed my heart and mind as if it were about to suffocate my heartbeat and breathing.
I couldn’t help but close my eyes. I gently pressed my lips against his, our breathing intertwined.
After a long time, the sound of the cabin door opening jolted me back to reality. If I didn’t leave, they’d come over and grab me. I quickly pulled my lips away from his and exited the cabin.
