★★★★ "Ahh!! Oh fuck! Blood!" Jerry felt paralyzed when he saw the red liquid on his hand and turned to Anastasia, who was also shuddering at the sight of blood. Ana began to feel suffocating because Jerry was bleeding profusely. "I will kill you tonight and then bury you in this room," Jerry howled menacingly, storming Anastasia to kill her, but Ana flung the lamp stick again as she got out of bed. She bent a little and picked up the bag off the floor before bolting from the room. Jerry removed his t-shirt and rolled it into a ball before placing it on the wound that was jetting out blood as he rushed out from the room following Anastasia, who could not be alive after today, and he was adamant to kill her tonight. An alarm switch that had been there for emergencies if a robber entered this residence as well as for other purposes was mounted on the wall. This button was also near the entrance, but Anastasia didn't know about it and didn't think that knowing about it would help her.
5 years later★★★"Can we anticipate that you will make New York your permanent home, Dr. Anastasia?" A redhead woman emerged from the automobile, prompting a reporter to ask out loud. She pushed the door closed and put on her sunglasses as she began walking. Her white skin glistened like crystal in the sunlight, while her hair appeared like a cascade magnified by the dawn. Even though the media representatives were there to conduct their duties, the breathtaking beauty in front of them caused them to gasp in awe."Doctor, who is your boyfriend? Are you getting married anytime soon?" Another reporter inquired as to when Anastasia crossed her path while on her way to the hospital with a guard shielding her from the mob. Though it was unusual for a doctor to be so renowned, Anastasia was a wonderful surgeon at such a young age, and as a result, she was well-known to people of all ages; also, her amazing beauty drew people to her. Despite her notoriety, Dr. Anastasia was extremely pri
★★"I am a doctor. I am here to check your health, Mister. Let go of my hand," Anastasia commanded with a scowl, her wrist throbbing with excruciating pain since the grip was more than just a grab.But the man continued to stare at Ana with wide eyes, until suddenly the grasp on her hand eased, and the man closed his eyes. Anastasia soon realized something was wrong, and she acted fast by reaching over the man and placing her finger under his nose, sensing he was not breathing."Nurse!" Anastasia yelled and began pumping his chest with both hands. However, this was insufficient to help the man breathe, so she pinched his nose opened his mouth, and began transferring air.Her mouth pressed against his, forcing air into his mouth to quicken his heartbeat.Suddenly a man burst into the ward and discovered a woman doing something to his boss."What are you doing? Who lets you in?!" The man raced to Anastasia in an attempt to fling her away from his boss, and she would later face severe pu
★★★"Meaning that I am no longer suffering from a specific ailment that I was unaware even existed until I experienced such a horrible reaction to a woman's touch," Richard contemplated the miracle he had been hoping for ages. Despite the fact that he had left no great doctor to examine him, there was always a dreadful failure he had to face till now. But today a woman touched him, and it was a proper touch, his condition did not trigger."Yes, it is one possible development I can conceive of, but how has your condition gotten better on its own, given that every doctor has informed us there isn't a cure?" George muttered, his forehead furrowed as he tried to figure out how this had happened.Suddenly, the ward door burst open, and a lady trudged in; her face was covered with worry as she hurried to Richard to the bed, but she halted her step at a proper distance because she did not want to make the same mistake of touching him as she had done years ago. She was still terrified as she t
*****With beseeching eyes and a hopeful heart, Jackson asked, "Ana, are you sure you do not want to eat because I was serious about bringing you out of a fine Italian restaurant?"He hoped she would answer 'Yes'"Despite my weakness for Italian food, I am unable to accept this lucrative offer. I am tired!" Anastasia said grumpily, "And you know I have a dog, so I need to train the maid how to manage Sky while I am away. Maybe some other day I would want you to give me such a tempting proposition again," completing her sentence, Ana exited the vehicle, leaving Jackson with a void in his heart that he smothered with a pursed lip."I need to establish a place in your home before gaining entry to your heart," Jackson reasoned while maintaining his good mood before exclaiming, "All right, Anastasia. Good night!"Anastasia gave him a soft grin and waved her hand before entering her flat, which was more akin to a top-floor penthouse. Though she was only in New York for a short time, she pre
****Anastasia arrived at the hospital around 1 o'clock. Her heels clicked on the ground as she made her way to that specific floor. However, when the lift came to a halt, she noticed the same man standing with whom she had spoken before. His expression gave away that he was waiting for her or someone else."I am grateful that you decided to return. While a doctor handled the problem rather effectively, we still need your watchful eye to ensure the boss is safe," George remarked, casting a sidelong glance at the attractive woman whose face resembled a bud ready to bloom. She did not use makeup, so one could tell she was extremely youthful, yet her aura was as powerful as that of a mature woman."It is not advisable to ask another doctor to treat a patient who has received excellent treatment from the first one. He is under the watch of another doctor, therefore I am not going to prescribe any medication," Anastasia stated sternly before dragging her heels towards the ward."I apologis
****"The point is, I am thinking of providing your people a doctor's name in Texas; he is a fantastic dermatologist, and your disease may be treated successfully," Anastasia offered with a soft grin.Richard felt as if Anastasia was seeking a way to brush him off, even though she had realized she could touch him, but was hesitant to treat him. A powerful irritation welled up in his throat as he spat, "I have gone everywhere, but none of them has been able to assist me. Tell me how much money you require."Not again! Anastasia's thoughts shouted as she said, "I am afraid I can not help you with this because I am a neurologist. I sincerely hope that you will not bring up the money again. I do believe you have plenty of money, but it cannot help the fact that I am unable to treat you."Anastasia considered such money-throwing men aggravating as if they believed that possessing money could buy anyone's head. She had met so many of them over the years, and now she truly believed this was a
****"You are spot on. Though I have never thought of hiding anything from you, I have also never considered bothering myself by telling you. You are going to remain until I figure out why you are the only woman who can freely touch me," Richard remarked casually, no longer attempting to be kind to Anastasia as he had in the morning. "You wish, sir! I don't work for you, and I clearly have no idea how you forced the dean to ask me to stay, but unfortunately, it won't happen tomorrow or any other day. If someone forces me, I will walk away," Anastasia responded calmly, not removing the grin from her face or giving him the impression that she was pushing herself to be strong in front of him.With a comfortable demeanour, Richard declared, "I murder people." His eyes lingered on Ana, taking in her gorgeous brown eyes and the freckles that dotted her face like beauty spots, giving her the appearance of an exotic flower. As his sight slid down, he saw her cherry-coloured, luscious lips, w
