Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Chapter 401: Why Did You Kiss Me?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The sudden kiss caused Samantha’s eyes to widen. Her black pupils contracted fiercely and even her breathing seemed to stop.

Did Timothy actually...kiss her?

However, the man just planted his lips against hers without any more passionate movements.

Before Samantha could react, Timothy had already straightened up and let go of her.

Without his strength supporting her, Samantha’s body fell back on the bed and her wound was aggravated slightly. The pain made her body shudder and she instantly woke up from the shock.

She looked at Timothy in bewilderment but his handsome face was still expressionless, as if the brief kiss earlier was merely a hallucination.

What was the meaning of that?

Samantha gulped and finally asked, “Timothy, you… Why did you kiss me?”

Timothy stood beside the bed and lowered his gaze condescendingly at her. He did not answer her question but asked instead, “Didn’t you say you love me? Aren’t you happy that I kissed you?”

Samantha was speechless.

In that case, was that sudden kiss earlier simply to prove that she genuinely loved him?

Her master was right—Timothy’s second personality was a very sensitive type and even the slightest bit of hypocrisy could not escape his eyes.

Fortunately, she had done her utmost best to treat him as the main personality, so the words she said were actually true.

It was also fortunate that she was very familiar with his body so she was more shocked than repulsed when he kissed her.

Fortunately, he only tested her with a peck and she did not respond immediately to it. If he gave her a French kiss or something, she probably could not help herself from punching him in the head!

Samantha suppressed the little scheming plans in her heart and blinked before replying sincerely, “Of course I’m...happy.”

Timothy curled his lips in a half-smile but did not respond to her.

Although she could not tell whether Timothy believed what she said, she could feel that Timothy’s second personality no longer hated her as much as before.

Whenever the two of them met in the past, she could always sense his killing intent toward her.

That was a little less strong now.

Although it was a cliche for the hero to save the damsel in distress, it was a tried and tested method that was conducive to developing feelings!

Timothy finally spoke a few seconds later and he reverted to his usual cold and indifferent tone. “Take care of yourself.”

As soon as he said that, he turned around and left unhesitatingly.

Samantha was quick-witted and grabbed his sleeve. “Can you stay with me, Timothy? My wound hurts so much and I…can’t sleep.”

How could she let him go like that when the situation was simply perfect to enhance their feelings?

Timothy stopped and glanced down at her hand clutching his sleeve. He then turned his gaze to her pale face and smirked as he said, “I’m not a doctor. Your wound isn’t going to feel better if I stay with you.”

“If it’s that painful, I’ll call a doctor for you.”

Sure enough, he was the stereotypical, unromantic man.

Samantha complained deep down but maintained her pitiful look. “No. My wound wouldn’t hurt so much if you were here.”

Timothy sneered with a look that said, ‘That’s a really bad excuse’.

Samantha pretended not to understand and used her other hand to make a finger heart. “Because of love!”

It was obviously a very childish and pointless action, but when Timothy’s eyes looked at the finger heart that she made, his heart began to beat wildly.

He unknowingly answered, “Okay.”

When Samantha heard that, she smiled and said, “I knew you couldn’t stand to leave me alone, Hubby.”

She exerted a bit of force on his sleeve and pulled him to the side of the bed. She looked at him with a burning gaze and her voice was slightly hoarse. “It’s good that you’re still alive, Timothy...”

The light in Timothy’s eyes fluctuated and he repeated, “It’s good that I’m…still alive?”

“Yeah.” Samantha seemed to see through Timothy’s face and saw the still sleeping main personality. She nodded vigorously, “Yeah. It’s good that you’re alive.”

The only one who would save her in such a crisis was almost certainly the main personality and not the second.

In other words, she proved that the main personality had not yet disappeared completely and was still present inside of him.

She meant every word she said and she was happy.

Timothy looked at Samantha and felt his heart beat even faster...

He seemed a little unsure, whether it was the second personality’s heart that was beating or the main personality.

He was the personality that had been imprisoned in the dark, and he would not have been able to see the world if Harmony had not woken him up.

He saw everything that the main personality had, including how the main personality stood at the zenith, looked down on the entire world, and wielded such powerful influence over everything.

His ability was no worse than that of the main personality and he could even surpass the main personality’s achievements. Why, then, was he not the personality living within that body?

No one welcomed his arrival nor expected his arrival.

That was the first time he ever heard someone say to him, “It’s good that you’re alive.”

A touch of softness unknowingly appeared in Timothy’s ice-cold eyes. He held Samantha’s hand in return and put her back into the blanket.

“Go to sleep. I’ll be right here with you.”

Samantha was getting excited when she noticed his attitude and tone softening noticeably.

Things were moving in the right direction!

However, she could not get too excited and had to know when to stop, for he would get suspicious again if she was too enthusiastic.

Samantha stopped teasing and nodded with a smile. “Okay. I hope I’d still be able to see you when I open my eyes.”

Then, she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

The ward fell silent and only Samantha’s breathing was heard.

Timothy’s black eyes were fixed on her.

Harmony was right. He was not repulsed by his closeness with Samantha because he was being affected by the main personality.

He could also sense that his main personality was becoming harder to suppress after Samantha showed up again.

Once left to its own devices, the main personality would be completely awakened and he will return to darkness or perhaps even disappear.

Why should he be prevented from living?

He had done tremendously well during the past three years and there was nothing about him that was inferior to the main personality. Was it right and just for the main personality to occupy his body just because it was the ‘main’?

It was a dog-eat-dog world.

He wanted to live and become the one who controlled the body successfully! He would not let anyone affect him again!

No one was allowed to do that!

His eyes turned cold and he stood up. Without looking at Samantha again, he stretched his long legs and walked out of the ward.

Timothy then took out his cell phone and called Harmony.. As soon as she answered, he went straight to the point, “Make arrangements for that final hypnosis. I want to destroy the main personality completely!”
