Semua Bab The Brilliant Second Life of Doctor 'Vicious' Harper: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Chase finally spoke the words he had long wanted to say—he wanted to be with her forever.But the girl’s reaction was not what he had imagined.Could it be… she still didn’t feel for him?He gently pulled her closer, turning her to face him.The man studied her face, noticing the uncertainty swirling in her eyes.“What, you don’t want to?” he asked in a rush, his gaze still clouded with lingering desire.Harper’s heart wavered at his confession.Perhaps in this life and the one before, the man who had been best to her, above all, was Chase.Yet she had never dared to accept him.Though she knew Chase was not the enemy from her past life, there was still a deep imprint in his heart—a woman named Avery.Maybe he thought he had completely let go of Avery, but Harper knew better. Otherwise, why would he still struggle with the unresolved wound in his heart?At that thought, Harp

Harper was stunned. The first thing he said upon waking was to ask if she was hurt—when clearly, he was the one who had been injured.“The kitchen knife landed on you. How could I have been hurt?” Harper’s eyes welled up again.“That’s good.”Chase let out a long sigh and lay back down, his voice low, tinged with melancholy. “At the mall… I clearly saw you. Why did you leave?”Harper was momentarily stunned, her eyes red. She replied reluctantly, “I thought you were busy… and I didn’t want to disturb you.”“This bodybuilding competition is a BioL Headquarters series event. The GG Group is only a sponsor, so Avery and I are just guests. Nothing special… don’t misunderstand.”His voice was unusually gentle, patient—this was the first time he had explained something to her like this.Harper’s heart skipped a beat.

Late at night, pain is felt more acutely, and Chase was no exception.He lay on his side, his back wound throbbing, arms tingling, unable to sleep. Even the pain pump did little to ease it.“Does your wound hurt a lot?”Watching him toss and turn, Harper grew worried.Chase’s forehead glistened with sweat. He looked at her pitifully with his handsome eyes and nodded slightly.After thinking carefully, Harper realized that only the method she had practiced from the Reeves Codex manuscript could help him. She knew she had to act.Just as she was about to stand, he grabbed her wrist.“Don’t go. I can endure it.”“I’m not going anywhere!”Harper gently lifted the corner of his blanket, steadying her breathing as she positioned her index and middle fingers. She pressed against two precise points along his ribs—pressure points she had learned from the Reeves Codex, a

By the time he finally opened his eyes, the sun was already setting.Chase blinked groggily, only to find Harper leaning over him, arms crossed, watching him closely.“Finally decided to wake up?” she said, her tone laced with annoyance.Before she could react, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.His hand slid behind her head—and then his lips were on hers, warm and firm.Her eyes flew wide.‘Seriously?! The first thing he does after waking up is—kiss me?!’She shoved at his chest, cheeks flaming. “What are you doing?!”He smirked. “Didn’t you ask if I was finally willing to wake up?”She glared, speechless.His grin deepened. “My answer is… I wasn’t willing to.”He leaned in so close that his breath brushed against her ear, warm and teasing, sending a strange shiver down her spine.Harper gav

Chase watched her fleeing figure with a grin tugging at his lips. Her soft scent lingered in the air.The arm she’d been sleeping on was still numb. He rubbed it gently, wincing a little—but his eyes were full of quiet delight.In the bathroom, Harper looked at her flushed reflection in the mirror, still breathless. That was so embarrassing. She never realized she was such a restless sleeper—and why did she have to end up tangled with Chase of all people?She splashed cold water on her face, trying to calm her racing heart.When she opened her eyes again, she noticed a transparent glass on the sink with a sticky note bearing her name, along with a soft peach-colored toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste.He’d prepared those for her?She picked up the toothbrush awkwardly, squeezing out a bit of toothpaste. He really was… attentive.Seriously, what kind of world was this? Exhausted all day and still unable to get a peace
