Rachel blushed profusely. She was aghast–Tyler was becoming as wicked as Howard!
In a pitch higher than usual, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Tyler, can you be a little more normal?”
He was like a vixen, tempting her to sin. What made matters worse was her extremely poor self–control. Despite the constant resistance from her brain, her body would instinctively respond to his temptation.
Damn it!
Rachel never used to be like this, even with William.
Cecilia used to say that she appeared innocent and restrained on the surface, but actually abound in passion inside.
Of course, Rachel used to deny Cecilia’s assessment vehemently. She considered herself more conservative in this regard, and that proved to be true when she used to be with William.
Yet after two such encounters with Tyler, she couldn’t recognize herself.
Tyler had enough of teasing Rachel. He knew that if he pushed her any further, she might explode in anger.
He went back to the topic at hand. “Come here. Let me apply some ointment on your injury. If it’s really bad, we’ll have to go to the hospital.”
Rachel objected to it vehemently. “I’m not going to the hospital!”
The mere mention of that place made her head pound. Because of her father, she had been going to the hospital frequently as of late. The smell of the disinfectant made her feel like puking.
“Then be good and listen to me if you don’t want to go to the hospital.”
This time, Rachel obediently let him roll up the hem of her shirt, revealing her snatched waist, and supple and fair skin.
“Do you work out often?”
“Yeah. Health comes first for me.”
Rachel often grappled with a huge workload when she was overseas. Everyone was there to work—and that was exactly what they devoted themselves to, putting their hearts, minds and bodies to the tasks they were given.
Going to the gym wasn’t exactly a habit for her. Since she went abroad and found herself stretched beyond her limits by the overwhelming workload, she had no choice but to resort to hitting the gym more often.
Gradually, she cultivated the habit of working out more frequently, which brought her significant benefits. She looked fitter and more toned than before.
Tyler looked at the bruise on Rachel’s back. Her skin was scraped off and looked red around the area. The sight made him recoil.
He subconsciously brushed a finger over her wound, the slight pain making Rachel tense up all over. She hissed in pain.
“Does it hurt a lot?” Tyler asked.
“Not that much, but it does itch a little. If it looks fine, just leave it
Rachel didn’t want to be pretentious about her injury.
Tyler shook his head. “I’m afraid you’ll have to go to the hospital. You were hit by a sharp object and it’s swelling up quite badly in this area. It looks deeper than a superficial injury, and might have impacted the bone.”
Rachel inhaled sharply, not expecting things to be so serious.
Tyler always loved exaggerating things and teasing her. She always had to second–guess what he was saying, for fear of falling

“It can’t be that bad. It doesn’t hurt that much.”

“I’m not kidding. If the bone is injured, you might even become paralyzed. If you become paralyzed, instead of coaxing me to sleep, I’ll have to coax you to sleep instead.”
“If I get paralyzed, you should be finding a replacement instead,” Rachel said with a pout.
She refused to believe that someone like Tyler would bother taking care of her.
Their relationship was purely transactional. What right did she have to ask him to take care of her? He was just pulling her leg at her expense.
Left with no choice, Rachel let Tyler bring her to the hospital.
When she walked downstairs, Ray bounded over to her, rubbing his cheeks against her leg and looking up at her with glistening eyes, as though concerned for her.
