Chapter 280

Fortunately, Lynn's wound wasn't that serious. After applying some medication and ointment, she took some anti-inflammatory pills. Then, the doctor asked us to leave.

On the way back to her place, I couldn't help but sigh. "I'm a man. How could I get you to protect me? You're being way too reckless."

"What makes you think you're a man? You're much younger than me. So, you're just a boy," Lynn said.

I was speechless. "Where do you see a twenty-year-old 'boy'? You must have a strange idea of what a boy is."

Lynn burst out laughing. "It looks like we've got a boy here trying to act like a man! Whatever you say, you're still just a boy. Anyway, thanks. I would've been completely hopeless tonight if it weren't for you."

"It's nothing. But why does Maximus keep bothering you?" I asked.

Lynn sighed. "Lately, he's been coming around to drink. I happened to have caught his eye. He started asking me to drink with him, but I kept refusing. That's why he's been showing up every day and bothering me.

"Tonight, he drank a lot and gave me some credit for my performance. Even though I didn't ask him to, he used it as an excuse to pressure me into pleasing him."

I guess that this was one of the disadvantages of being beautiful. When there was no one around to protect them, they would just end up getting harassed by these kinds of thugs and rich men.

If they were lucky enough to meet someone like me, they might get some help. But if they were not, they would end up getting assaulted. Even if they tried to seek justice, they would just be blamed for being flirtatious.
