You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 205 Locked In For A Whole Day

"What?" Nina's eyes widened. This watch was her amulet, which could save her life at any time of danger. How could John take it off?

"Don't touch my watch. Let go of my watch."

Both Amy and Lena were very skilled in martial arts and were astonishingly strong. No matter how hard Nina struggled, she was still pressed on the bed and couldn't move, like a fish on a chopping block to be cut.

When Richard was about to take Nina's watch, John suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

Tears welled up in Nina's eyes. She felt glad that her watch was saved.

Unexpectedly, John said coldly, "I'll take it myself."

Seeing that John was really coming to take off the watch on her wrist, Nina became anxious. "John, let's have a talk, okay? What did I do to make you angry? Why do you treat me in this way?"

"No way." John took her watch and put it into his pocket, asking Amy and Lena to let go of Nina's hands.

Seeing John raise his hand, others left the room and closed the door.

There were only John and Nina in the bedroom. Nina no longer struggled. She lay on the bed, with messy hair and a sour smell all over her body.

John sat on the edge of the bed, as if he didn't smell it. He looked at her slightly red wrist, frowning, with obscure eyes.

The two of them remained silent. Then John went straight to the bathroom and filled the bathtub with warm water. He reached out his hand to feel the water temperature before coming out.

Hearing the sound of water, Nina couldn't help but glance at the bathroom. When she saw John come out, she immediately withdrew her sight and continued to stare at the ceiling.

"Take a shower." John stood by the bed and looked down at Nina, whose face was dirty.

It seemed that she was abandoned and hid in the trash can to find a place to stay, making herself so dirty.

Nina turned her head stubbornly and said, "No."

As long as she was here and didn't run away, John wouldn't be angry.

"If you don't, I'll help you." John bent down.

Nina widened her eyes. She didn't want his help at all.

She rolled over to escape from John, but rolled onto the ground accidentally.

She fell.

It hurt. Lying on the ground, Nina whined and closed her eyes tightly. She was so unlucky today.

She didn't know what had happened to her recently. Both the people around her and she had an accident.

"How are ..." John felt a little worried, but he stopped his words. He didn't withdraw his hand until he saw that she got up herself and seemed to be fine.

Nina held her waist. It seemed that her waist was hurt. She grimaced with pain and bent her body like an old woman.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw a faint smile on John's face. She felt that he was smiling at her.

It was all his fault. How could he have the nerve to laugh?

"Get out!" Nina stood up angrily and pointed at the door.

He stared at her slender fingers for a while and felt that something was missing.

"What are you looking at?" Nina withdrew her fingers and thought that he had cut someone's arm. She swallowed and said timidly, "Are you going to cut my fingers?"

She was afraid of losing her hands and feet.

"No, I won't do that." John warned her slowly, "Don't think about running out to meet him. Stay at home these days. If you run away again, I will break your legs."

At the thought of breaking her legs, Nina trembled.

Seeing that she was finally a little scared, John sneered in a low voice. He decided to punish her for escaping tonight. He said, "You can only drink water in the next two days. Helen won't bring you anything else."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, ignoring what Nina said.

"Why do you do that to me?"

"You can't imprison me here. We are equal, equal!"

When Nina saw that he turned a deaf ear to her and was about to go out of the room, she wanted to negotiate with him. "John, let's have a talk, a serious talk. Don't be so unreasonable, okay?"

John stopped and glanced at her sideways. He didn't believe what she said.

He walked out and closed the door.

The door was closed and locked. Nina knew that she couldn't negotiate with John and that it would be even more difficult for her to escape.

She had no choice but to go to the bathroom.

The bathtub was filled with warm water, and there was an open medicine box beside it.

Nina was stunned and looked at the clear warm water. At the top of the medicine box was a plaster, which could eliminate swelling.

When she raised her wrist, she found that it was a little red and swollen. Amy and Lena had held her wrist too hard.

In fact, John was a nice man even though he appeared to be cool. He was arrogant, but sometimes he was also very careful.

However, she didn't understand why he stopped her from investigating the cause of Kristina's death. Why did he refuse to tell her where he went yesterday?

Did he know who the murderer was?

She soaked in the bathtub and thought about these questions, but felt confused.

She sank into the water and pondered what had happened.

At this time, John was standing outside the door, lighting up cigarettes one after another. He threw them on the ground and trampled them with his shoes.

He felt conflicted and complicated.

In fact, the problem was not difficult to solve. As long as they opened the door and came straight to the point, they would find that things were different from what they had imagined.

Nina was not a spy sent by Albert. John had never seen Kristina since yesterday afternoon.

The two of them were not worried about the same thing at all.

However, John didn't like listening to others' explanation. He didn't want to hear Nina's explanation. He was even afraid of it.

As a powerful man, he was afraid of nobody except Nina.

He was afraid that she would say something that would make him angry, and more afraid that she would lie to him, so he chose to prevent her from saying anything. It was not a bad thing to lock her in at home like this.

After all, the North Yard was the home of the two of them.

After he finished the cigarette, he threw it on the ground, stepped on it, turned around and walked into the next room.

At night, he slept in the room next to Nina's bedroom. During the day, he went to the study to deal with his business. He did not leave the North Yard.

He lived a leisurely life, while Nina paced back and forth in the bedroom, anxious.

Looking at the colorful evening glow, Nina frowned. She had been locked in for a whole day. There was only one day left for her to investigate Kristina's death.

This time, she had to find a way to get out of the North Yard.

She had to go to No.4 West Forest Street.

Nina stood by the window. The broken glass made her see the scenery outside the window more clearly. The night wind blew over her face, and the setting sun shone on her.

She closed her eyes slightly and enjoyed the moment of peace.

When she opened her eyes again, she had already come up with another idea.

Since she couldn't escape, she would make herself sent out of the North Yard fair and square.
