Samantha covered her chest out of instinct, and her cheeks reddened. Then, she bashfully and angrily scolded Timothy, “Timothy!”

She agreed to him checking her wounds and applying the ointment on them, but not to him taking advantage of her!

However, the man in front of Samantha appeared unbothered, as if he did not have any emotions. This made Samantha’s rage slowly subside.

It was as if she was the one overthinking.

Hence, Samantha could only blush and let Timothy check her. Then, after making sure that she was not hurt, Timothy covered her with the robe.

Samantha was not sure if he was doing it deliberately or not, but when Timothy covered her with the bathrobe, his fingertips lightly grazed her skin. As they were slightly cold, Samantha’s body shivered from the touch.

Timothy removed his hands, and he seemed to be smiling.

Samantha could see the tease in his eyes, and not only was her face getting warmer, but her body too. She suspected that Timothy was purposely flirting with her, but she did not have the evidence!

“Cough.” Samantha let out a light cough and broke the strange atmosphere. Then, she covered herself with the robe tighter, and after pondering about it for a while, she said, “Thank you… for today.”

She lowered her gaze and played with the lace of the robe. Her voice was somewhat soft as she continued, “I didn’t expect that you’d be willing to help me…”

Even at that moment, she was still in disbelief.

Based on her relationship with Timothy, it was already good that he did not make things worse for Samantha. Nonetheless, he actually appeared in front of her at the most dangerous moment.

This was the treatment that she used to enjoy.

Samantha’s words raised Timothy’s brows, and his obsidian eyes fell on her face, saying in an indecipherable tone, “I can’t believe that you’ll thank me either.”

Previously Timothy saved Samantha just in time, called the doctor to treat her, and even looked after her the whole night. However, she did not thank him at all. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

Samantha was puzzled, and she looked up, suddenly meeting his dark eyes. “What do you mean? Although we’re… I’m not an ungrateful person. If you helped me, I’d naturally thank you.”

“Is that so?” Timothy’s lips twitched, and he obviously disagreed with her words.

Samantha frowned deeper. What did she do now that made him misunderstand her gratitude?

Then, Samantha recalled what happened between them during this time. Suddenly, a thought flashed in her mind.

Could it be that Nancy was telling the truth? When Samantha was sick, it was really Timothy who found her just in time and saved her?

Moreover, the person that took care of her overnight was Timothy too? Was it not her imagination?

How could that be…

Samantha’s heart was beating faster. Next, she pursed her lips and murmured probingly, “Timothy, when I was sick before this, was it you who saved me?”

Timothy sneered. He did not answer Samantha but questioned her back, “Otherwise?”

Samantha was stunned, and she did not react.

It was really Timothy…

However, Samantha could not be blamed for not believing that it was him. It was Timothy’s attitude that made her dare not to think about that possibility!

“I…” Samantha stuttered. She wanted to explain herself, but after uttering just one word, she could not continue.

After all, Samantha could not tell Timothy that she thought he was a jerk back then, so she did not believe that he would do something so nice for her?

If she did, would she not be digging her own grave?

“Cough.”?Samantha was uncomfortable, and she coughed a few times. Then, she tidied her bathrobe, stood, and politely bowed at Timothy. “I formally thank you for helping me before and saving me today.”

Timothy slightly raised his head, looking at the woman in front of him. He did not want to take credit as she thought, but since Samantha wished to express her gratitude, he would not object to it.

Then, he showed a malicious smile. His voice was deep, and it sounded as if he was flirting and teasing her. “Is your life only worthy of those two words?”

Samantha was surprised, and her eyelashes fluttered. “What else do you want?”

Timothy’s smile became more profound, and he sized her up, languidly answering, “Do you still need to ask me? Don’t you remember what you did before?”

Before…

With his one word, Samantha’s mind was flashing with the images from the past.

Back then, Samantha’s ways of expressing her gratitude were straightforward as she really liked Timothy. Hence, she would directly hug and kiss him.

Watching her expression, Timothy knew that Samantha recalled the past, and his gaze became more profound. “So, how about it?”

The redness on Samantha’s face that just subsided instantly reappeared.

Sure, they could do it back then. Nonetheless, their relationship was different now, so how could she do it!

However, Timothy decided to tease Samantha, and he continued, “Didn’t you boast that you’re not an ungrateful person? Hmm?”

Even though Samantha knew Timothy was doing reverse psychology, she still did not want to budge.

Was it not just a kiss? It was not as if they never kissed before!

Then, Samantha clenched her fists tightly and released them. Next, she took a deep breath, walked a step forward, grabbed Timothy’s lapel, and leaned over, kissing Timothy on his cheek with her cherry lips.

Unexpectedly, Timothy turned his face sideways, and Samantha’s lips fell on his.

As their lips touched, their eyes met. Samantha’s dark pupils instantly constricted, and her heart was beating wildly.

The next second, she abruptly retreated. “Timothy, you… you broke the rules.”

Timothy wiped his lips with his fingertips, and his action seemed so seductive and ambiguous. Moreover, his voice was deeper as he said, “I broke the rules… Then, shall I let you break the rules too?”

Let her break the rules too? Would that not imply Samantha to kiss him again?

Would she not be the one suffering again?

Timothy was indeed a ruthless and greedy capitalist! He had calculated everything well!

“There’s no need for that!” Samantha replied to him angrily. Then, she turned around, went over to the other side in a fury, laid in the bed, and covered herself with the blanket.

“Good night!”

If it were not for him saving her that day, Samantha would surely slap Timothy for taking advantage of her!

Timothy watched as her angry back walked away. Soon, his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, and he let out a joyous chuckle.

Samantha covered her ears and shut her eyes!

…

The following day.

When Samantha woke up, she glanced beside her and noticed that Timothy was not there. He probably went to work.

Soon, she got up, and after freshening up, she went downstairs.

Samantha accompanied Nancy for breakfast. When they were done, she changed her clothes and went out.

Later, the car stopped in front of the police station. Samantha got out of the car and looked at the entrance. Then, she walked in.

If Penelope and Violet had not provoked her, they could still live peacefully. However, since they wanted to cause trouble, Samantha would keep them company!

After settling the visitation procedure, Samantha was brought to the visitation room. She waited for a while, and someone finally walked over from the other side of the glass panel..
