Chapter 13 Part 13 The next day at work, Tyler asked if everything was alright after the previous evening’s incident. I shook my head and replied, “It’s fine. ” As he turned to leave, I hesitated for a moment and then said, “Doctor Graham, thank you for yesterday. We’re in the process of divorcing, but don’t worry, it won’t affect my work. ” His expression seemed to ease up a bit, but he only nodded. ” In the days that followed, Adrian would pick me up from work every day and cook dinner for me.

He’s my mentor. ” However, he would not let go. “The last time I saw him, I felt like he was looking at you the wrong way.

Looking at it now, I was indeed hysterical and unreasonable. Adrian grabbed me, trapping me in his embrace, and forcefully kissed me. I tasted blood on my lips. In my struggle, I grabbed a glass vase from the dresser and smashed it over his head. Blood streamed down his forehead as he leaned against the wall in pain. I seized the moment to run out.
