"What?" Nina's eyes widened. This watch was her amulet, which could save her life at any time of danger. How could John take it off?
"Don't touch my watch. Let go of my watch."
Both Amy and Lena were very skilled in martial arts and were astonishingly strong. No matter how hard Nina struggled, she was still pressed on the bed and couldn't move, like a fish on a chopping block to be cut.
When Richard was about to take Nina's watch, John suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Tears welled up in Nina's eyes. She felt glad that her watch was saved.
Unexpectedly, John said coldly, "I'll take it myself."
Seeing that John was really coming to take off the watch on her wrist, Nina became anxious. "John, let's have a talk, okay? What did I do to make you angry? Why do you treat me in this way?"
"No way." John took her watch and put it into his pocket, asking Amy and Lena to let go of Nina's hands.
Seeing John raise his hand, others left the room and closed the door.
There were only John and Nina in the bedroom. Nina no longer struggled. She lay on the bed, with messy hair and a sour smell all over her body.
John sat on the edge of the bed, as if he didn't smell it. He looked at her slightly red wrist, frowning, with obscure eyes.
The two of them remained silent. Then John went straight to the bathroom and filled the bathtub with warm water. He reached out his hand to feel the water temperature before coming out.
Hearing the sound of water, Nina couldn't help but glance at the bathroom. When she saw John come out, she immediately withdrew her sight and continued to stare at the ceiling.
"Take a shower." John stood by the bed and looked down at Nina, whose face was dirty.
It seemed that she was abandoned and hid in the trash can to find a place to stay, making herself so dirty.
Nina turned her head stubbornly and said, "No."
As long as she was here and didn't run away, John wouldn't be angry.
"If you don't, I'll help you." John bent down.
Nina widened her eyes. She didn't want his help at all.
She rolled over to escape from John, but rolled onto the ground accidentally.
She fell.
It hurt. Lying on the ground, Nina whined and closed her eyes tightly. She was so unlucky today.
She didn't know what had happened to her recently. Both the people around her and she had an accident.
"How are ..." John felt a little worried, but he stopped his words. He didn't withdraw his hand until he saw that she got up herself and seemed to be fine.
Nina held her waist. It seemed that her waist was hurt. She grimaced with pain and bent her body like an old woman.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw a faint smile on John's face. She felt that he was smiling at her.
It was all his fault. How could he have the nerve to laugh?
"Get out!" Nina stood up angrily and pointed at the door.
He stared at her slender fingers for a while and felt that something was missing.
"What are you looking at?" Nina withdrew her fingers and thought that he had cut someone's arm. She swallowed and said timidly, "Are you going to cut my fingers?"
She was afraid of losing her hands and feet.
"No, I won't do that." John warned her slowly, "Don't think about running out to meet him. Stay at home these days. If you run away again, I will break your legs."
At the thought of breaking her legs, Nina trembled.
Seeing that she was finally a little scared, John sneered in a low voice. He decided to punish her for escaping tonight. He said, "You can only drink water in the next two days. Helen won't bring you anything else."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, ignoring what Nina said.
