“If I ever met someone in this world that could mess with my emotions, I would kill that person with my
own hands.”
That was what Caden thought to himself when he was a teenager.
He was the successor to the Shaw family and would be at the helm in the future. Caden went through
strict education since he was a child, it made him emotionless. His grandfather was the one that
personally made his grandchild a cold-hearted robot.
His grandfather always said, “You cannot have any weakness. One day, if a person shows up and the
person can easily change your mind and mess up your emotions, then this person will be your greatest
nemesis. And what do we do to our nemesis, Caden? Yes, we have to make them disappear.”
When Caden told Humbert what his grandfather said, Humbert who was the same age as Caden was
shocked, though he didn’t take Caden seriously. It was common that teenagers would say something
that they thought was “cool”, and after they became adults, they would just reminisce about it and
cringe about their hot-blooded teenage days.
Humbert might not even remember that Caden had said that to him before, Humbert probably took it as
a joke and had forgotten about it long ago.
But Humbert never would have thought, what Caden went through as a teenager was far from one
could call “normal”.
Caden put his fingers around a woman’s throat on a large bed, he locked his fingers around her neck,
but he wasn’t using any force.
He was puzzled, why was it always so easy for this damn person to mess with his emotions?
Why did he get mad so quickly around her?
Why was it that he couldn’t help but go up to check on her when she curled up into a ball in pain?
He sat on the sofa and tried to hold himself back from going up to check on her, even though she was
crying in pain.
He had a hard time suppressing his urge to not go up to check on her.
He had to use all his might to control himself. It was all her fault! It was her fault for continuously crying
out so painfully.
His fingers were slender, and the phalanx of his fingers was distinct, and this beautiful pair of hands
were cupping her neck. He bit down on his lips and started to put some force. It would be okay, he said
to himself, just a little more force and he could easily get rid off this person who would always mess up
his pace.
When this was over, he wouldn’t be affected by her, and he wouldn’t need to rush her to the hospital in
the middle of the night ever again.
He never even treated Wallis this nicely before.
She whimpered and curled up into a ball, she grimaced in pain.
Cold sweat rolled down her face, it was reflected clearly in Caden’s eyes with the help of the bedside
lamp.
His fingers were still wrapped around her throat, suddenly, he let go. He couldn’t do it, he couldn’t kill
her!
Caden lost all energy the moment he pulled his hands back, his palm was supporting his body by the
bedside, he took a few deep breathes and finally calmed down.
He raised his head only to see the person on the bed wriggling her body in pain.
She wailed in pain and once again curled her body up. She squirmed her body as she was still
suffering, in the end, she couldn’t take it anymore and rolled on the bed, trying to ease her pain.
Suddenly the needle on the back of her hand was slightly yanked, the blood flowed back into the IV
bag through the saline tube!
Caden quickly pressed her hand down, she couldn’t move her hand that was injected with the saline
tube, but then the other parts of her body started flailing around. Caden had no choice, he was in for a
penny. He used his other large hand and pressed down her other hand, he then used his body to push
her down. She finally stopped struggling.
“Let go off…”
Caden could hear her softly mumbling in pain, her suffering was clearly beyond words. Caden suddenly
realized, that her cries were all nonsensical mumbles, from the beginning till the end she never said a
word and that she never said that she was in pain.
His heart ached for some reason, she was in pain but she just bore the pain.
“Wake up, wake up!” He lifted his hand and smack her cheek roughly, “Hey, wake up! Stop sleeping!”
Grace opened her eyes, she couldn’t react to what was happening but she could instantly feel the pain
excruciating throughout her body. She gritted her teeth feeling the pain.
Soon a bite mark could be seen on her grey-white lips.
Caden squinted his eyes resentfully, “What happened to you?”
“Hmm?”
“Why am I here?”
“Why do you think?” Caden glared at Grace, “I already told you to not go to work if you’re still sick. You
fainted during work and gave me tons of trouble.”
“I’m sorr-…” She felt a sudden pain, she was trying to talk and trying to apologize, but she could only
open her eyes wide achingly!
“Ugh!” The pain was immeasurable, luckily Grace was still lucid enough to tell that Caden was standing
in front of her.
She never wanted Caden to see her in this state!
She didn’t want Caden to joke about her!
Even though she had made a fool out of herself many times in front of him!
Even though she knew that to him she was always a joke!
But even heaven was going against her, the thunder and lightning struck and the pain in her waist
worsen. The pain she felt in her legs was bone-deep.
She would feel excruciating pain every time the weather changes, but it had been three years. She was
now used to the pain, it wasn’t as hard to fight through as it was in the beginning.
She was so used to the pain that even when it was bone-deep, she could just grit her teeth and frown,
and the pain would soon go away.
But today, it was painful than ever. It reminded her of the pain she had to go through when she lost her
left kidney, she was reminded clearly of that agony.
She felt very tormented today, but why today of all days?
She brain was a mess and she had a lot on her mind. Her thoughts were running through her head,
they were all messy and tangled up. Maybe it was because she almost drowned, she had a high fever
for a few days and had syncope.
She had never felt such misery for a long time. Ever since she lost her left kidney, she neglected her
body and never took good care of it.
Without even realizing it she bit into her lips even harder, she bit her lips down so hard that it started to
bleed.
Caden was holding down her arms and her legs, he couldn’t stop her from biting her lips. He looked at
her biting her lips without saying anything, he then freed one of his hand and pinched open her mouth.
He quickly put his arm in her mouth.
“Bite me if it hurts so badly,” said Caden with a deep voice. He repeated himself indifferently, “Bite it.”
Grace’s eyes were wide open, she stared at Caden’s emotionless face quietly. Suddenly, she bit down
on his arm really hard!
Caden frowned slightly, he was still silent, and he just let her bit his arms.
Grace didn’t know herself why she bit him, the only thing she knew was that the moment she decided
to bite, she was furious and suffering. It was him that made her went through this pain, the agony was
unspeakable and indescribable. She could only let him feel her pain by biting him. Caden, let us both
suffer from my pain together!
Soon her mouth tasted like iron, she was still biting on his arm. She knew that it was his blood and
suddenly tears rolled down her cheeks.
