The Next Day
A Private Island in Country F, Western Continent
It seemed that God had heard the devout prayers of ten doctors throughout the entire night. Just as the sky began to lighten, Xiao Yixia woke up. The doctors hurriedly brought the prepared medicinal meal into the room.
Borhes sat by the bedside, letting Xiao Yixia lean against his chest, then brought the medicinal meal to her lips.
Xiao Yixia turned her head away, refusing to cooperate with Borhes’s feeding. Though she had no strength at all, she still opened her mouth to curse at him.
“You beast! If you have the guts, just kill me! Torturing me half to death in such a beastly way and then saving me—what kind of man does that make you? Oh wait, you’re not a man at all. You’re just a shameless, despicable, cold-blooded monster!”
Borhes coaxed her in a gentle voice.
“Xiaxia, be good. Eat the medicinal meal first, then curse me. Your voice is so weak right now that it doesn’t sound like cursing at all—it sounds more like you’re softly coaxing me to sleep.
If you don’t want me to misunderstand that you’re trying to lull me to sleep, then eat the medicinal meal first. Once you’ve recovered your strength, you can curse me however you like.”
After finishing her outburst, Xiao Yixia had no strength left to spare. She could only keep her mouth shut and turn her head to the side.
Seeing this, Borhes had no choice but to threaten her.
“Xiaxia, since you won’t eat, then starting today, your family won’t eat either.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yixia had no choice but to obediently eat the medicinal meal that Borhes brought to her lips. Seizing the opportunity, Borhes fed her spoonful after spoonful, and soon the meal was finished.
Half an hour later, Borhes again threatened Xiao Yixia into taking her medicine. Only after she had swallowed it did he stop his threats.
After Lynn and the group of doctors and maids had left, Xiao Yixia said she wanted to sleep for a while. Borhes readily agreed.
At first, Xiao Yixia was only pretending to sleep, but under the effects of the medicine, she unknowingly drifted off…
Looking at Xiao Yixia’s beautiful sleeping face, Borhes couldn’t resist planting a kiss on her forehead.
“Xiaxia, you’re so beautiful! Even when you’re sick, you’re still beautiful! Xiaxia, my darling, how could I live without you?
Xiaxia, are you an angel sent by God to redeem me? Ever since you appeared, I’ve experienced the meaning of the word ‘happiness’ for the first time!
Xiaxia, even though you don’t like me, and you certainly don’t love me, that’s alright. I like you. My love for you is enough…
Xiaxia, whatever you want, I can give it to you; wherever you want to go, I can accompany you. Only one thing—I won’t allow you to leave me!
Xiaxia, I never imagined that the Vampire Race’s annual ‘hunt’ would catch a treasure like you… Xiaxia, although our meeting wasn’t exactly ‘beautiful,’ our getting to know each other and falling in love will surely be beautiful…”
Borhes was murmuring sweet nothings to Xiao Yixia when suddenly Winnie’s low voice came from outside the door.
“Brother, I need to speak with you.”
Borhes kissed Xiao Yixia’s cheek before teleporting to the door. Reluctantly, he opened it and then gently closed it behind him.
“Winnie, why are you so thoughtless? You always come to disturb me when I’m busy?”
Winnie looked at Borhes solemnly.
“Brother Wang, you and Sister-in-law Wang are not suited for each other. If you continue to force this, with luck she might survive like this time, but if luck is not on your side, she will lose her life.”
Borhes was quite displeased.
“Winnie, don’t think that just because you’re my own sister, you can meddle in my personal affairs! Xiaxia is my treasure, and I will never let her go.”
Winnie continued to persuade him.
“Brother Wang, if you truly love Sister-in-law Wang, then let her go. If you truly love someone, you would only wish for their happiness, not imprison them or keep them like a pet!
You say you love Sister-in-law Wang, but how is your behavior any different from treating her like a pet?”
Borhes retorted.
“Nonsense! If I treated Xiaxia like a pet, how could I tolerate her cursing at me every day? Look at Little White—does it dare to curse at me? When Little White sees me, it’s obedient as can be!”
Winnie let out a sigh.
“Brother Wang, how can that be the same? Little White is an animal, but Sister-in-law Wang is a living, breathing human! The emotions of animals are not the same as the emotions of humans!”
After saying this, Winnie continued to speak up for Xiao Yixia.
“Brother Wang, in six thousand years, Winnie has never asked you for anything. But today, Winnie boldly begs you to let Sister-in-law Wang go and grant her freedom. I beg you, Brother Wang… I beg you…”
Borhes refused.
“Winnie, even if you knelt on the ground and begged me today, I would not agree! Xiaxia is mine, forever and always mine. I will never let go even in death!”
Winnie let out a long sigh.
“Brother Wang, I hope you will never regret this…”
Borhes looked at Winnie with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
“Winnie, you and Xiaxia have only met once. Why are you so eager to speak up for her?”
Winnie seemed lost in thought.
“I don’t know… Perhaps I just don’t want to see such a beautiful young girl die on the territory of our Vampire Race one day…”
Before Winnie could finish her words, Borhes interrupted her.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Xiaxia won’t die! Xiaxia has a lifespan equal to mine—however many years I live, Xiaxia will live just as many!”
Winnie sighed once more.
“Brother Wang, Sister-in-law Wang only has a lifespan equal to yours, not vitality equal to yours.
Sister-in-law Wang is a human. Human lives are very fragile—one moment of carelessness and they’re gone. Since you refuse to let Sister-in-law Wang go, then go study up on how to properly pamper a human.
Brother Wang, even Brother Lynn knows better than you how to pamper a human!”
As soon as Winnie finished speaking, she teleported away from the 9th floor.
Borhes gently opened the door and returned to the room, then teleported to the bedside and stared intently at Xiao Yixia…
[All these days, although Xiaxia had cursed at him harshly, she was indeed as fragile as Winnie had said…
The first time he and Xiaxia had been intimate, he had already been very gentle, yet Xiaxia had still been in terrible pain, and had come to hate him because of it…
He had never understood why Xiaxia hated him for that, but now he realized it was because humans were fragile. What he thought was gentle must have seemed anything but gentle to Xiaxia…]
If Xiao Yixia could hear Borhes’s inner thoughts, she would surely rage at him.
“You utterly foolish beast! Even if you were as gentle as a human, I would still hate you! The crux of the matter is that you forced me!”
Unfortunately, Xiao Yixia couldn’t hear Borhes’s inner thoughts, and naturally, Borhes couldn’t hear Xiao Yixia’s words either. This destined Borhes to continue stumbling along the path of foolishness for a while longer…
With that thought, Borhes gently planted a kiss on Xiao Yixia’s cheek.
“Xiaxia, I’m sorry. Before, I didn’t realize how fragile humans are. From now on, I will treat you gently…”
After saying this, Borhes lay down beside Xiao Yixia.
“Xiaxia, sleeping alone is lonely. I’ll keep you company while you sleep, so you won’t feel lonely anymore.”
If Xiao Yixia were awake at this moment, she would definitely scold Borhes,
“Are you insane? Who told you that sleeping alone makes you feel lonely?”
