Let's Get Married

Chapter 550: Don't Test Me

Lily's period comes all of a sudden. She always has period pains. Now, being trapped in such a damp place, she really feels worse.

Lily tries to take a shower every day, but she doesn't have any bath products. Her hair becomes dry and her body emits an indescribable smell, like the smell of mud under a river.

She remembers the water bottle that she has thrown away when they are in a mess. She does not know where the bottle is now. It has been three days. No one should have found it. Otherwise, how could nothing happen? Or perhaps the water bottle is stuck somewhere that it can't float away.

Lily sadly realizes that she actually gets used to the environment here because she knows they will not kill her now. She has less time to be in panic, but at a loss for what to do.

This numb feeling is even more devastating than fear. It is as if she is standing in an endless desert. She continues to walk in one direction, but she could not see the end. She is filled with the despair that she would never be able to walk out.

"What are you thinking?" Sitting opposite her, Hawk knocks on her bowl with his chopsticks to remind her not to get distracted.

Only then does Lily regain her senses, she picks up the rice bowl in front and randomly eats some. She doesn't know the taste of the simple boiled cabbage and noodles. "Nothing."

Hawk says no more, but looking at her with much deeper eyes. He is utterly unpredictable, so Lily doesn't even try to figure it out.

After the lunch, it is the hottest time at noon. The humidity in the mountain forest is already high. The transpiring air is filled with water molecules, making one feel sticky and stuffy.

Lily sits beside the bed, fanning herself with the wood board, while the man lying on the sofa at the side closes his eyes for rest.

She couldn't help but wonder, "Don't you think it is hot here?"

"I'm used to it."

"OK." After staying here for so long, he must have gotten used to it.

Hawk must have earned much money. He could build villas wherever he wants, and the amount he is worth is not lower than Rex. However, Hawk could only live such a hard life. No one knows what he asks for.

"Hawk." Lily clasps her hands about her knees to relieve the pain coming from her belly. She lowers her voice and says, "Have you never thought about letting me go one day?"

In the past few days, they live together peacefully. Lily doesn't know if it is because she has her period that Hawk doesn't touch her again. Perhaps he is afraid that it would be unlucky.

Hearing this, Hawk suddenly opens his eyes. He slowly turns around and his deep eyes fall on her face, with a sneer. "You've got some nerve. How dare you ask such a question?"

He has never seen a hostage dare to talk to him so calmly, and the content is so sensitive.

It is also a surprise to Lily. Lately, she feels that this man wouldn't hurt her.

She looks down at the cup beside her feet. It is yellow now. When she first gets here, it is still white. She mutters, "If you let go of me, maybe those people won't look for you anymore. Then, you can leave unscathed."

It is more of a joke for Hawk. "You should know more about Rex's temperament than me. I've kidnapped you for so long. He won't let things lie."

Lily notices his nonchalant appearance and has audacious idea inside. She clenches her hands, asking Hawk tentatively, "What if I help you?" From NôvelDrama.Org.

"Help me?" Hawk squints and sits straight, "What are you going to do?"

"I can beg him not to assign blame and I will tell him that you don't hurt me."

Lily's reply deepens the smile on Hawk's face. He stands up and walks towards her. Although the condition here is harsh and the environment is dirty and muddy, Lily is still beautiful.

She not only keeps her beauty, but also never gives up her thought to leave here.

Hawk pinches her chin and says, "Why do you want to help me?"

Lily meets Hawk's gaze and he seems to see through everything. "I do so because you saved me once."

Hark sneers and pinches her chin tightly. "Do you think I'll believe it?"

He traps her here. Suffering the scare and threats, with the shock to her husband and son, she could not have no grudges against him at all.

It turns out that Hawk is right. Lily would never forgive him. Although she sympathizes with him for his past experience from personal perspective, she could not forgive him at the thought of the innocent people who has encountered the misfortune because of him and the broken families.

She used to be a lawyer, so no one could be law-flouting or go above the law.

Lily conceals this sharp look. She tries her best to soften up. "Why don't you believe me? Not everyone likes revenge and slaughter. As long as you let go of me, we can forget any of these ever happened."

But Hawk doesn't want to hear it. He is quite sensitive and able to see through the thoughts of others. "Are you asking me to let you go?"

Lily doesn't say anything, but looking at him quietly.

The man bends down slightly and looks at her teasingly, "Stop dreaming. I won't let you go."

After saying that, he turns around to leave. Lily stops him in a hurry. "Do you really want to lose everything because of me?"

As long as she is imprisoned here, the police will keep looking for him. Only by letting her go back safely would he have a chance to win.

With that, Lily could only feel someone suddenly lunge at her with a high speed. She couldn't even see him clearly, and two hands grab her neck against and push her against the wall.

With a thump, the back of her head hits against the wall, and she even feels the pain on her collar bone.

"Do you think I don't dare to kill you?" Hawk is annoyed. Apart from letting her go, it is easier to kill her.

Lily's breathing quickens as she looks at him, "No! If you kill me, you'll get into big trouble. It's not worth it."

"Do you think I'm afraid of trouble?"

She feels even more anxious for his words than the hands on her neck. After spending several days together, Lily has a better understanding of the man in front. Just when Lily feels it is not going to end

well, as expected, she sees a knife is placed above her head.

Lily's body instantly tenses up. Hawk looks back and forth at the knife in his hand playfully. "This is the knife I used when I take you away. Do you remember it?"

How could Lily not remember? She would never forget what she experienced at that day.

"If I am afraid of causing trouble, I wouldn't have brought you here to provoke Rex."

Only then does Lily understand why he is angry. Such an arrogant man would never allow anyone to look down on him. He is telling her he is not afraid of the police and Rex, and this is not the reason why he hasn't killed her.

With the sharp knife aside, Lily carefully controls her breathing. Fortunately, Hawk releases his hold soon. His brown eyes are filled with much hostility. "If you don't want to lose your life, don't test me again."
