Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 149

Chapter 149 Responsible for the Rest of My Life

I freaked out and flailed my arms and legs to keep him from getting any closer.

"Don't mess with my leg," Faris muttered, frowning.

His reaction threw me off, making me think I hit his injury, so I froze.

Faris took the chance to press his whole body against mine. When I tried to push him off again, I was already losing.

"Faris, cut it out." I glared at him, feeling both embarrassed and pissed.

He gave me a cheeky grin. "No way."

He suddenly held up two fingers in front of my face. "How many fingers?"

"Are you nuts?" I snapped.

Faris was thick-skinned; no matter how much I cursed, he always smiled back. He even patted my head.

"Just checking if that bump messed with your brain."

I snorted. "You should worry about your leg."

He smirked. "I'm not worried. If I end up crippled, you'll have to take care of me forever."

"Keep dreaming." I rolled my eyes.

He suddenly gave me a puppy-dog look. "I got hurt saving you. Don't tell me you forgot already. That'd be cold."

It was exactly because Faris got hurt saving me that I was worried and came to see him. Otherwise, I'd be nuts to walk into the lion's den.

Suddenly, I heard a bunch of guys talking outside the door and recognized Richard's voice. If he saw me with Faris again, I'd be toast. I looked at Faris, panicking.

Faris stared at me, like he could read my mind, and smirked.

The voices got closer, and Faris suddenly yanked open the bathroom door, pulled me inside, and slammed it shut, locking it.

"Faris," they called out as they came in, one by one.

"Faris isn't here."

"His leg's messed up; where could he go?"

Faris pressed me against the cold bathroom tiles, and I was so nervous I could barely breathe.

"I'll call him." I heard Richard say, and my eyes went wide.
