The Merman, My Man novel Chapter 94

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 94

The wound on my back was rather severe. Luckily, Gary found a first aid kit on the ship. I had wanted to treat the injury myself, but it was too inconvenient for me to reach it. I didn’t want to ask Laura for help, so I had no choice but to ask Gary to help me.

I laid face-down on the bed as it was not only convenient for Gary to apply the medicine, but it also prevented me from revealing too much skin.

“Your clothes are stuck onto the wound. I’m going to lift your clothes up, so bear with it for a bit, “ Gary said strictly.

I nodded and buried my face into the pillow. I was aware of the situation of the wound on my back, so I bit the pillow and prepared myself mentally for what was to come.

But the pain was so unbearable it felt like my flesh was being torn apart. It was so intolerable that my body involuntarily tensed up, and I clenched my fists. I couldn’t help but yell, “Go easy on me! F*ck! “

Gary’s face darkened, but he didn’t reply. He just hastened his movements and tore the clothes off my back. He then used a saline solution to clean my wound before wrapping it with bandages doused in medicine.

The pain was so intense that my teeth became numb, and my mind went blank. I could only let Gary have free rein. After he had finished treating my wound, he let out a long sigh as he covered me with a blanket.

After hesitating for a while, Gary finally said, ” Linda, I’m sorry. That day in the cabin, it was because of me that you… ”

Gary’s apology actually sounded quite sincere. Since I had known him, he always seemed like the type who loved joking around so that all the students would adore him. This was the first time that he had ever apologized to me genuinely.

However, our relationship was not as innocent as just a professor and a student. He had cooperated with the government behind my back, and not to mention he had also attempted to rape me. With that in mind, I felt very awkward and hid my face partially within the blanket.

Gary took in a nervous breath and remained silent for a while before he finally said, “To a group of islands called Lemenland.“

I was stunned and couldn’t help but blurt out in response, “What?“

“Legend has it that the islands are the place of rest for merpeople. Have you heard of it before?“

I furrowed my brows. There was no way they were headed there just to sightsee. I asked, “What are you going there for?“

I recalled the American military emblem that I saw that day in the cabin. Alarmed, I pressed him further, “Gary, are your plans in accordance with the Japanese government? Why were there men from the American military disguised as pirates to attack your boat? And why has Henry been tailing us since the beginning?”
