The stabbing pain on her scalp had not yet subsided when Eileen fell heavily onto the couch.

She struggled to rise, but in the next second, Eric pushed her back down.

“Why did you run at the sight of your brother? Will you still run now?” Eileen looked at him laughing, a laugh that resembled a life-stealing demon.

“What are you trying to do?” Eileen shrank into the corner of the couch, fear visibly etched on her face.

Eric casually picked up a box of beautifully made Blake cupcakes before sitting down beside her and opening it. “Don’t you love desserts the most, Eileen? How about I feed you some, hmm?”

Eric held the spoon up to her mouth.

With her eyes red-rimmed, Eileen asked, “What kind of drug have you added this time?”

She observed his reaction, waiting for his response.

Eileen then raised her hand and slapped it away. “I’m afraid you’ll poison me to death. Get lost!”

After saying that, she pushed him away, unable to stop her tears from falling. Just as she was about to get up, Eric suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck. She could feel his solid chest against her back and his scorching hot body temperature as he deliberately moved closer. Eileen struggled in his hold. “Eric, let me go!”

“Scared of dying now? Weren’t you fearless before? Huh? If you behave while I’m still not planning to harm you now, you might suffer a little less.”

He stretched out his hand, and instinctively, Eileen flinched in fear.

Eric tidied her hair, focusing on the spot he had grabbed. Parting the strands, he saw that the skin had turned red.

Eileen did not know what he was planning to do. She kept her body tense, not daring to move recklessly. Despite feeling the gentle caress on her head, her heart was cold and indifferent.

He offers consolation after dealing with someone harshly. These are his usual tricks. Does he still think, even now, that I’m the same child from before?

An hour later, watching him offer another piece of cake, Eileen wrinkled her nose in disgust
