Touch Me, Honey

Chapter 7 Cure Me In A Month

“You...My brother says that he has settled it. I cannot help you...” Bella said, shivering. James was worried that she would reveal his secret so he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his car.

“What are you doing?!” Falling on her stomach in the back seat, Bella covered her head and screamed.

James sat in the car beside her and grabbed her neck. “You are too noisy! Shut up!”

“Please calm down. Don’t kill me!” Bella stopped fighting and looked at James with tears running down her face.

Although she looked like her brother Charles, James much preferred her timid reaction. Moving his hand off Bella’s neck, James said with a light smile: “Don’t worry. Before you cure me, I will keep you alive.”

“Didn’t you talk about it with my brother? Haven’t you settled everything? Are you still impotent?” Bella looked at him confused. What she said deeply hurt James. James looked dreadful.

After the misunderstanding with Bella’s brother Charles, James had begged for Charles’ forgiveness and paid a lot for the famous physician’s diagnosis. But the result was no different from what James had gotten before. He was healthy and his p***s was functioning well. His impotence was the result of something in his mind and he might recover without treatment sometime in the future.

However, James had tried to have s*x with women in recent days. But it turned out that he still couldn’t get hard. What was worse, his family called him again, reminding him that he was engaged and soon to be married. Under pressure from his family, James was even more nervous.

He recalled that after getting shot, he had only gotten hard once, by Bella’s touch. So, he came to Bella again.

“You and your brother didn’t cure me. So, I am here for your after-sales service.” James replied.

“Charles! You told me that you settled it! You liar!” Bella thought angrily.

Bella was almost crying. She turned nervously to look at James. “I... Actually, I know very little about traditional Chinese medicine. If you want to be cured, you’d better ask for my brother’s help.”

“You made me hard last time. I trust you.” James said earnestly, while his hand was touching something in his pocket.

Hidden in the pocket, Bella could see its shape. Was it a pistol?

The air-conditioners in the car were on. But she was sweating. “I... I will not disappoint you. Can you please just keep your pistol away?” Bella cried.

James looked at her jokingly. He put his hand into his pocket and took out a checkbook. He wrote a number on it and held it out for Bella to see. “This is the deposit on your treatment. If you cure me, you can take the rest of the payment.”

Staring at the number, Bella was greedy for a large amount of money. But she was determined to refuse. Seriously, what if she got killed for the money? She replied: “But I really have no idea how to cure you.”

“Bella Green, does your brother operate his clinic without a proper license?” James asked, his face calm and unrevealing. But Bella felt frightened. He continued: “And you, Miss Green. You have failed many subjects in the past three years. I think it might be difficult for you to graduate.”

“Are you threatening me?” Bella was annoyed by James’ words. She turned to glare at James’ handsome face. This bastard! Bella was frightened before. But now faced with James’ threats, she was annoyed.

“I’ll give you a choice.” James smiled slightly and dropped the check. “Cure me in a month, or you drop out of college and your brother’s clinic is shut down.”

“You say it like I have any other choice...” Bella took the check and gets off the car, slamming the door behind her.

“Why do you behave so coolly towards me? I have seen you so emotional and fiery when it comes to other things,” Bella scolded James silently. As the black Maybach pulled away and out of sight, Bella still stood angrily beside the road.

Eve Sawyer ran to Bella and instantly noticed her dark expression. Eve asked confusedly: “Bella, who was that man?”

“That man? He is a...” Bella stopped herself from mentioning James’ impotence and bad temper. She reminded herself of the confidentiality agreement between herself and James. If she told anyone his secret, she would surely suffer.

“It’s no big deal. I am not very familiar with him.”

“Do you know his name?” Unlike her usual timid self, Eve persisted to ask, “You seem intimate with him. And you have been behaving strangely these days. Was it all about him? Is... is he your boyfriend?”

How could it be possible? Eve’s question frightened Bella. How could she fall in love with that man?

As they continued with the rest of their night, Eve kept asking and trying to get more information about James. Bella was exhausted by her questioning. Moreover, she also wondered how to cure James. Finally, Bella decided to call it a day and they went back to the school dormitories.

The next morning, Bella was awakened by a call. She picked up her phone and heard Tony’s voice. “Bella, I am downstairs. It’s time to go.”

“God damn it!” Bella grumbled and struggled to get up.

“Bella, are you going out?” Seeing Bella was wearing clothes, Eve sat up on her bed and said, “We don’t have class this morning.”

“I have something to do,” Bella replied.

“What is it? Are you going to meet the man we saw yesterday?” Girls truly are gifted with excellent intuition.

Bella was nervous. She wasn’t good at lying but couldn’t tell Eve the truth either. She replied: “No. I’m going home. Goodbye!”

Then she grabbed her bag and rushed out of the dormitory.

Sitting on the bed, Eve Sawyer had a bad feeling. “Bella is hiding from me because she is afraid that the rich man might fall in love with me, isn’t she? And she always says that I am her best friend. But nothing is more important than her own interests.”

Eve’s mood was saddened. She noticed Bella’s expensive skin care products and began to sulk. It was all because she didn’t have rich parents and a gifted brother. She must plan for her future. With this in mind, Eve was determined to get James’ attention.

Sitting in Tony’s car, Bella was brought to James’ house again. This time she could see clearly what the house looked like.

A real billionaire wouldn’t build their villa in some remote area, but somewhere like this place.
