Chapter 13

"That's correct, theoretically."

Wendell tried hard to hold back his urge to mock Sally. "If you obediently take off my shirt and give me a kiss, maybe I'll lose interest in you."

A hint of cunning flashed in Sally's eyes.

However, she nodded earnestly. "Alright, I'll listen to everything you say."

Wendell could not hold it back anymore. While laughing, he waved at the two men in black who were holding her down. "Let her go!"

He wanted to see how silly this country girl was!

The men in black did as they were told.

"You're not going to pull any tricks, right?"

Wendell said with a smile as Sally walked close to him.

"There are three of you. What can I possibly do?"

Sally smiled earnestly and walked up next to him. "This is what you said. I'll take off your shirt and give you a kiss.

"Keep your hands away from me."

Sally tried to hold back her disgust. She pushed away his hands that were gripping her body, and slowly undid the buttons on his shirt.

One button, two buttons…

Wendell's heart burned with desire as he watched the side profile of the young woman who was focusing on taking off the buttons of his shirt.

However, he really wanted to see Sally when she was pliant, so he had to restrain himself.

She was too slow.

Every time she undid a button, she would carefully straighten the wrinkles of his shirt.

Wendell did not have the patience.

He was just about to ask Sally to hurry up when suddenly, he realized something cold and hard was pressing against his heart.

He lowered his head to look. Panic flashed in his eyes.

Sally was holding a small folding knife and was aiming it at his chest.

"I haven't introduced myself. I'm a medical student, and I major in cardiac surgery."

Sally's chirpy voice had a dangerous edge to it. "If I stick the knife in from this spot, your heart will be sliced into two neat halves. Don't believe me? I'm at the top of my class."

Cold sweat broke out on Wendell's forehead.

He had never been threatened with a knife before.

He gritted his teeth. He wanted to pull away but realized that his jacket had somehow been fastened tightly.

He could not get away. He was utterly helpless.

"Sister-in-Law…"

Wendell squeezed a meek smile on his face and began to beg. "No matter what you think of me, I'm Elijah's cousin after all. If you do anything to me, how would you explain it to the family…

"Just calm down…"

"So, you still remember that I'm your sister-in-law?" Sally smirked. "Are you going to explain to the family what you did to me earlier?"

Wendell went pale. "I…"

"Did you think that just because Elijah's presence is negligible in the Moses family, that you can do whatever you want to me?"

"Do you think that Elijah can't do anything to you just because he is blind and powerless? Hm?"

Wendell lowered his head, looked at the shiny silver blade pointed at his chest, and nodded. "Yes…"

Sally's heart sank.

She recalled the scene in the Moses house from yesterday. Her husband had turned his unseeing eyes to the moon and said that he did not have any relatives.

Her heart ached every time she was reminded of that forlorn, lonesome voice.

"From now on, I will protect Elijah."

She took a deep breath and opened her mouth again. "I might be a little silly, and you might think that I'm not at the same level as you.

"But I can promise you that I'm an ace medical student."

She deliberately twisted the knife in her hand. "I've learned about how to slice a heart in two equal halves. I can equally split it in three too."

Wendell's body started shaking.

He could see the cruelty in Sally's eyes.

He did not expect that the young woman, who had been obediently and innocently taking off his shirt earlier, would be looking at him with those eyes in the next moment!

He could tell that she was dead serious.

He knew that if he crossed Elijah again, she would stab that knife into his heart without any hesitation!
