Chapter 52
Melissa’s mind was in turmoil; the fleeting memories were too vague for her to catch, so she simply gave up.
With a hazy gaze, she looked at the man pressing down on the corner of her blanket, saying pitifully, Bradley, I need water.
Hearing Melissa’s clear sentence, Bradley looked up at her and handed her the glass. “Melissa, are you really drunk or just pretending?”
“Thirsty,” Melissa blinked.
Bradley brought the glass to her lips, threatening, “If I find out you’re playing to be drunk just to tease me, you can forget about seeing your son acain!”
Melissa’s lips had just touched the glass when she heard the words. She immediately lifted her head, her eyes reddened. “I want my son. Give my son back to me. Don’t take my Curtis away, please…
She reached out from under the covers, gripping Bradley’s arm, shaking it in a plea. “I have nothing, but him. Please, give him back to me.
As her hand reached out, the blanket slipped to her chest, revealing her alluring body
Bradley turned, his head to the other side, staring at the foot of the bed, and pulled the blanket up for her.
Melissa’s pitiful look made him feel a bit uneasy. If she didn’t love Curtis to the core, she wouldn’t have gone to work at the club for the sake of the agreement. Nor would she have ended up like this, he thought to himself,
Although she sometimes made foolish mistakes, she wasn’t a bad person.
Bradley’s heart softened, and his tone wasn’t as cold as before. “Don’t work in places like that. It’s not suitable for you.”
I want to get Curtis back; the wages there are high. Melissa replied.
Bradley teased. “You said money isn’t everything, didn’t you?
“But I need money to bring Curtis back… Melissa lowered her eyes, murmuring-
It was late at night. Bradley didn’t want to discuss this topic with her further, who was not in a clear state of mind. He brought the water closer to her mouth. “Aren’t you thirsty? Have some water
Mellisa grabbed his hand, her eyes red with tears. “Bradley, please give my son back to me, okay? I’ll do whatever you want, just please, give Curtis
back to me…
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she bit her lip; trying not to cry out, her eyes full of expectation as she looked at Bradley.
“Sidl thinking about Curtis even when you’re drunk?”
Melissa nodded vigorously
“Finish this and go to sleep, We’ll talk about Curtis tomorrow.”
Melissa took the glass obediently, downed the entire glass, and then lay down. Her eyes stayed fixed on Bradley, seeking his approval.”
Bradley let out a sigh of relief, stood up and fetched pajamas from the wardrobe. “Put them on,” he ordered
Melius lifted the blanket and only then realized she was wearing only her undergarments. Her cheeks flushed, and she eyed Bradley wardly. “Where are my clothes! Did you
*Don’t look at me like that, You took them off yourself!” Bradley explained helplessly
Melissa pudied the pajamas under the blanket, waiting until Bradley left before frantically putting them on and then closing her eyes
she fell asleep quickly. By the time Bradley knocked on the door with a first aid kit, she was already sleeping soundly with even breaths,
Bradley cautioudy pushed the door open which he heard no movement. Seeing Melissa already dressed, he sat by the bed, pulling her hand out. The blood on her fugertip had already roagulated.
He and the bloodstains with a cotton ball soaked in jodine, staring the one–inch–long gruesome wound. With such a big cut, it was no wonder stard cumplain to him
Aberdisinfecting and wrapping the wound, he gently placed her hand back and sit for another ten minutes. Making sure she didn’t fldget like before, fr picked up the mediod kit and left.

Chapter 52
Worried she might roll off the bed again in the middle of the night, he didn’t go to the guest bedroom bur found a blanket and laid down on the living room sofa.
Melissa slept fairly well the night. Upon waking up the next morning, she only felt a slight throbbing in her head.
After crying up in her bed for two minutes, she sat up, only to realize Bradley was lying next to her. Her scream erupted in the bedroom instantly.
