Chapter 14 Marvin, I’m Having A Fever


    Elizabeth turned to re at him. Robert raised his hand again before she said something more


    humiliating. Totally pinned on hisps without a chance to escape, Elizabeth had to shut her eyes


    tightly in fear. How much she looked like a scared kitten emitting a coquettish aura! Robert couldn’t


    help but smile, finding himself attracted by this pitiful girl.


    Howe nothing happened? Elizabeth opened her eyes in confusion. Suddenly, Robert, with an evil


    smile, pinched her hips. Elizabeth grimaced in pain while heughed more and more wildly.


    "Your mother entrusted me with you when she was badly ill. Though not a sage, I will never break my


    words."


    Elizabeth elbowed him while shouting, "I know you have been coveting me! How foolish my mum is to


    entrust me to you!"


    Robert removed his hands smilingly, his tone meaningful enough. "You don’t have a say in our


    rtionship. Behave yourself and I will naturally treat you well and even regard you as my daughter. If


    you insisted on going against me..."


    Elizabeth retorted coldly regardless of his threat, "Who wants to be your daughter? Do you really think


    you’re my father?"


    Though slightly unhappy, Robert happened to sense a tinge of romance in her words.


    He produced a smile that made his face more handsome.


    "Though not your biological father, I can make you call me dad in bed with my excellent sexual skills."


    Elizabeth, badly blushing, gnawed at hisb furiously with great force. She applied so much strength


    that her teeth even began aching, only to find that Robert, instead of being angry, worked a meaningful


    smile onto his handsome face. Elizabeth struggled to sit up.


    Robert reached out to stroke her chin while saying word by word, "It turned out that you aren’t afraid of


    me at all. There is no way for you to do that to Marvin, right? Marvin won’t love a girl truly. Even if he


    would, you would never win his heart. Why not date me then? Is it so hard to leave him?"


    Elizabeth tried hard to avoid his sharp gaze as if he could see through her at a nce. She whispered


    under her breath, trying not to meet his eyes, "You know nothing about what happened between us."


    Robert did not retort but lifted her cuff with his fingers.


    There was a vague red mark on her wrist, solid proof of how Marvin abused her by binding her hands


    with his tie.


    Elizabeth withdrew her hand, her face crimson.


    Robert said word for word, "Howe you don’t escape even if being harshly tortured? Do you love


    him that much?"


    With her innermost secret being revealed, Elizabeth turned to look outside the window with


    embarrassment in silence.


    ...


    Robert sent her to the intersection nearby the Bet family. Elizabeth got out of the car but did not go


    home. She instinctively intended to escape from there.


    She had to watch her behaviors since childhood and tried hard to fit in. Although Mr. Bet treated


    her well, it was impossible for her to regard him, more than ten years older than her mother, as her real


    father.


    Elizabeth was timid and self-protective, not daring to show her true colors. Yet, everything had changed


    since she met Marvin. She began relying on him and regarding him as her elder brother, friend, and the


    most important man in her life.


    She wanted to stay by Marvin’s side for good and the Bet family was her only home since then. Yet


    now, Ann was about to be his wife.


    ...


    Elizabeth arrived in the vi at eight o’clock. It was not toote, but Marvin’s face was livid.


    "Where did you go?"


    She replied in a low voice, "Went to the hospital to visit my mother."

    Marvin sneered, his tone icy, "You usually leave the hospital at five o’clock. Howe you came back


    thiste today? You dared to lie to me, huh?"


    Elizabeth had gotten fed up with his bossiness. "Believe it or not, I’m tired and go to my room first."


    Rather than rushing up to grab her, Marvin suddenly threatened as she stepped onto the stairs. "I can


    make Aileen vanish into thin air. Do you believe it?"


    Elizabeth froze.


    She finally spoke after a long period without turning, "Of course I do. I said a year ago that if you hurt


    my mom, I would kill myself by jumping off a building in front of you so that you would never forget my


    tragic death."


    ...


    Though submissive, Elizabeth was always stubborn. To give a full vent to her anger, she not only


    refused to talk to Marvin for a week but locked the door to her room as soon as she went inside in case


    Marvin would harass her.


    One night, Elizabeth felt she was having a fever. She lifted the thin nket up, finding herself soaked


    with sweat. She got up to drink some water, but her legs were too weak to carry her body.


    Badly tortured by the fire burning within her, Elizabeth pushed open the door and shouted in low voice,


    "Mrs. Brown..."


    Suddenly, she was pushed back by someone strong. Marvin stroked her burning cheeks with an evil


    smile. Having no time to care about their quarrels, Elizabeth held his waist in a hurry, "Marvin, I’m


    seemingly having a fever."
