Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Donât be afraid, Iâm here Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Donât be afraid, Iâm here âSince youâre awake, I wonât bother you anymore. Your phone is out of battery, so I had to bring you to the hotel. Get some rest.â Cherish Turner paused before adding, âOr, you can use the hotel phone to call your fiancée and let her take care of you. Iâll be leaving now.â
âWait, Cherish. I know you still care about me. Otherwise, why would you stay to look after me?â As he spoke, Daniel Peacock threw off the blanket and rushed over to hug Cherish, his bare feet on the floor.
He regretted it; he didnât want to lose her!
âDaniel, donât get the wrong idea. I have no romantic feelings for you anymore. I came here only because the bartender called me after you got drunk. I didnât really want to come, but we do know each other after all.â
She thought to herself: Daniel, I am not like you â heartless and ungrateful.
But even then, our relationship can only go this far.
âNo, I donât believe you. You still have feelings for me. Your relationship with William Griffith is just an act, isnât it? You still have me in your heart, right? Cherish⦠can we start over?â As he spoke, he couldnât help but tighten his arms, holding Cherish even closer.
At this moment, Cherish was only wearing a bathrobe with underwear beneath it. Their closeness made her feel panic!
She tried pushing Daniel away, but he wouldnât let go.
It was just the two of them in the room, and the situation might get out of control! She couldnât resort to force for fear of angering him, but suddenly, Daniel pushed Cherish down onto the sofaâ
âDaniel, calm down! Donât do anything foolish! Look clearly, I am not your fiancée Abigail Johnson!â Cherish looked at Daniel warily, her hands tightly protecting her chest, which only caused his eyes to darken.
âCherish, do you really think Iâm that despicable and filthy? Are you afraid Iâll assault you?â
Cherish didnât want to argue with him, so she just turned her face away and said coldly, âLeave me alone!â
She didnât like his behavior, and she especially disliked his touch.
An idea that Daniel Peacock didnât want to face rose in his heart: had this girl really fallen for William Griffith?
But how could they be together? He wouldnât allow her to like him!
âI know youâre not Abigail Johnson. Youâre a thousand times better than her. How can she compare to you?â
The next moment, Danielâs lips unexpectedly came crashing down like raindrops hitting Cherishâs face, lips, and neckâ¦
Cherish was terrified and struggled with all her might, but Daniel had anticipated her resistance and pinned her arms above her head!
âCherish, youâve owed me for five years. Now, Iâm taking everything back!â As he spoke, he bit her lips and invaded her mouth.
Just in the nick of time, the hotel room door was slammed open! A resolute figure suddenly appeared!
Soon after, Cherish felt her body lightened as Daniel was pulled away from her and slammed against the wall, his bones almost shattered from the impact!
Before Cherish could fully recover, a cold yet familiar voice rang above her head, sending chills down her spine!
âDaniel Peacock, youâre courting death!â
It was William Griffithâs voice! He had come to save her!
Cherish clutched her clothes tightly and anxiously sat up.
After knocking Daniel down, William walked over to Cherish. Seeing her disheveled appearance, he decisively took off his own coat and wrapped her up entirely in it!
Then, looking deeply into her eyes while carefully cradling her face, he held her in his embrace, âCherish, donât be afraid. Iâm here; you donât have to be scared of anything.â
She didnât know why, but when she saw him appear in front of her, the tears Cherish had been holding back finally fell uncontrollably.
