Shane nodded, his eyes gently looking at her, his heart extremely satisfied.
The days with her, even if they argued, were still sweet.
Shane was still immersed in sweetness, but Bertha's next words made his whole body wrong.
Bertha said. 'I originally intended to ignore you tonight. I took you to your room so I wanted to apply medicine to your knee, but you like to act like that. You don't know what's wrong with you, you just want to be beaten."
His spine stiffened, and he looked at his left palm in shock.
So Bertha is telling him that this war is his own doing?
'…"
He had never felt so sad in his heart as now.
The wound in his palm seemed to hurt even more.
Shane was weak, snuggled into her arms, between his beautiful eyelashes was a sadness and suffering that could not go away. 'Bertha, don't go tonight, I want to sleep with you, okay?"
Bertha was stunned for two seconds. She used a wet tissue to wipe off the remaining medicine from her fingertips, then she touched his handsome face.
'No, wait until your health is a little better and then talk later, if you want to sleep in the same bed with me like that, please persevere in taking your medicine and exercising well, and your health will recover soon."
"But…"
Going into winter, with his health condition, he doesn't know if he can make it through to early spring next year.
Shane thought, in the end, he said nothing, watching Bertha leave the room.
—
Because Bertha was off work the next day, she stayed in the villa with Shane all day.
Liam didn't get a chance to confess his guilt.
He couldn't sleep for two days, until the third day, when Bertha went to work, he came on time to urge Shane to take the medicine.
He embraced his uneasiness and knocked on Shane's door.
"Come in."
His low, steady voice made it impossible for others to hear what Shane was feeling.
Liam took a deep breath, carefully opened the door, pulled the amber curtain, he walked with heavy steps in front of Shane.
Shane stopped typing on the keyboard, he coldly raised his eyes and glanced at him.
Liam's whole body trembled, and a stupid, flattering smile appeared on his face. 'Boss, last night, were you two… okay?"
'It's okay, but thanks to you, Bertha hit me forty times on my hand." Shane's handsome face was cold, his black eyes were gloomy, and he blamed it all on Liam.
Liam's breathing suddenly stopped, he felt his hand also starting to hurt.
Before he could even begin his performance of crying for forgiveness, Shane continued speaking. 'I heard that there is a small country in Africa called Burntisland. Recently, there has been a large number of coal miners there. I think you are very suitable, how about I bring you there."
'Huh?"
Liam's whole body was not okay. He immediately knelt at Shane's feet. He hugged his strong legs and screamed.
'Boss, I'm guilty. It's all my fault, or you should hit me twice as hard. I don't want to go to Burntisland to dig coal. I don't want to leave you. I have followed you for so many years, please give me one more chance, okay?"
His whole face was full of pain, he screamed with great concentration.
Shane was made to feel nauseous by Liam, who kicked him gently.
'I'm not going. I don't want to go to Burntisland, boss, you beat me to death. It's my luck that I can die in your hands."
Liam hugged Shane's thighs and refused to let go, his body swaying with Shane's kicking movements. Liam was like a worm clinging to Shane's body.
Shane's face turned black. He was annoyed by Liam's thick-faced actions and laughed.
He said angrily. 'If you don't want to go to Burntisland to dig coal, then don't come and bother me these two days. Go out."
"Okay."
Liam left.
Shane continued working, and suddenly Liam walked in again.
Shane immediately frowned. 'What?"
Liam said seriously. 'Boss, Miss. Bertha ordered me to urge you to take the medicine, now I am under her control…"
"You…"
Shane was so angry that he gritted his teeth, he lifted the coffee cup on the table, he wanted to hit Liam on the head.
Liam held his head, but he didn't dare to dodge. 'Boss, you saw and hit me. But I didn't go, otherwise I would have no way to report the results to Miss. Bertha, you also don't want her to know that you're looking for revenge on me, right?"
Anyway, Bertha protected Liam that day.
'You have someone to rely on, right? 'Do you dare threaten me?"
Shane's breath was cold, the cold air in the room suddenly spread everywhere.
Liam said. "I do not dare. But if I leave, let Miss. Bertha knows, surely, she will think that you don't know what's wrong, you deliberately vent your anger on me, she will be angry."
"I just worry about you. My loyalty to you is straightforward." Liam squatted, and he massaged Shane's legs.
Shane narrowed his cold eyes, he didn't dare believe this. 'Now you are becoming more and more shameless. Who did you learn this from?"
'Of course, I learned from you…" Liam reacted quickly, his tongue immediately retracted. "Oh no. Boss taught me properly, I learned this myself."
Shane was both angry and amused. He shook his head helplessly. He simply ignored him and focused on his work.
In the end, Liam didn't leave.
He squatted next to Shane's feet, and he voluntarily massaged Shane's legs and knees, making Shane reluctantly stop being angry.
Peaceful days of playing around like that always pass very quickly.
