Chapter 227 Who Yielded First (1/2)

Since they got back from the hospital, Mark took off the handcuffs from Tina. However, if Tina refused treatment, Mark wouldn't hesitate to lock her up again, even if it would make Tina hate him more.

Tina did not utter a word, but the resentment was clear as crystal in her eyes.

Tina hated feeling like a prisoner! She never imagined her life would come to this!

Before long, Mark brought another bowl of ointment and applied it on Tina's wounds gently.

”When do you intend on setting me free?” Tina asked, coldly.

”Doesn't it feel good to be home? No one can hurt you here and you won't have to see the faces that you don't like either,” Mark answered, with tongue-in-cheek.

In the past few days, Mark's parents made several attempts to visit Tina, but every time Mark would send them back with some kind of excuse. Mark's parents felt guilty assuming that Tina did not want to see them because they wanted to welcome Emily back into the Tao family. Therefore, they decided to give Tina some time on her own, instead of constantly pestering her.

Besides, they trusted their son to take good care of Tina, so they did not have to worry about anything at all.

Frustrated and annoyed, Tina screamed at Mark, ”You've kept me locked up here, against my will, Mark!”

”No, I'm protecting you,” he said.

”Hypocrite,” she replied.

”I don't care what you think of me,” he retorted. Mark didn't hold any grudges against Tina. He just smiled and said, ”But my love for you is unconditional.”

Tina warned, with contempt, ”You cannot keep me locked up in here forever.”

Mark did not take Tina's threat seriously until night time, when he really understood what she had meant by that.

When Mark left her alone for a little while, Tina used a piece of broken glass to cut open her wrist. The blood gushed out from the wound and dripped all over the ground.
