The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 17
I didn’t want to believe what I had just heard, to the point where my mind became numb. The impact of what he had just said was destructive. While I was preoccupied with what he had said, I had forgotten to defend myself from Gary.
My vision seemed to have tinted to a monotonous gray and I had completely surrendered myself to the situation.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! “
Just then, a series of banging sounds came from the door of the cabin. A man’s voice could be heard shouting, “Professor Gary, are you alright? Was that your voice? I heard someone calling for help.“
This voice pulled me out of my despair. “Save me! Please help me, doctor! Help me! “
At that moment, it was as if I had caught a lifeline. I desperately responded to the voice right outside the door and my body continued struggling as it did before. This gave Gary no choice but to let go of me, so he got off of me.
Gary glared at me, then grabbed a blanket to cover me before walking towards the door.
I quickly used my free hand to put on my cloth. I could hear both men discussing something at the door. The other man was obviously a doctor. It
seemed as if he wasn’t satisfied with Gary’s explanation. This showed that he wasn’t under Gary’s control.
Perhaps the doctor could help free me! But I cou1dn’t let him think that I was someone with bipolar disorder as Gary had told him. So I forced myself to calm down.
“It’s nice to meet you, doctor. I require your assistance.“, I said to him politely.
