Chapter 717 A Bite

"Mr. Green, can you leave and let me sleep here?"

"No, I'll be staying here to watch over you," Adam declined gently.

"I can shout your name if I need you."

Adam didn't want to leave Emmeline's side, but he didn't want to cross her either. Before he left, he caressed Emmeline's cheek. Almost instinctively, Emmeline tried to grab hold of Adam's wrist. But Adam was quick enough to withdraw his hand.

"Emma!"

"Don't call me that, pervert!" Now that Emmeline regained some of her vigor, she decided to defend herself.

"Dammit!" Adam dodged but did not retaliate, even though Emmeline would never stand a chance against him. As Emmeline lurched forward, she tripped over.

"Ah!"

Adam caught Emmeline in his embrace. But the next thing he knew, Emmeline had already dug her teeth into his shoulder.

"Yes, Mr. Anthony."

"And let me know once the soup is ready. I will feed her myself."

"Yes, sir."

The doctor came and treated Adam's wound. As Adam changed his bloodied shirt, he suddenly recalled something. Moments ago, when Emmeline fell into his embrace, she was mere inches away from his beard. Fortunately, he had turned his head away. Otherwise, Emmeline would have easily guessed who he was through his voice and beard. After this realization, Adam shaved his beard. His clean-shaven face made him look younger. Now maybe that would be enough to impress Emmeline.
