Ying Yue didn't know what went wrong that triggered him. He was dangerous and scary, and she knew that, but something felt different to her this time.
"Say that again," Rodey growled.
*Cough cough* She frowned and felt gagged at her throat.
"Y-your mom-"
Rodey took out his gun and pressed it hard on her temple. "Since you helped stay the night and treated me, I will not fucking kill you. But forget about whatever you heard. If you dare open your mouth and spit it out to others, then this time, I would not hesitate to shoot you through your head."
Ying Yue stared at him with a complicated gaze. To her, he felt akin to a wounded wolf. He seemed lazy and indifferent until now, but now it felt as if something had stirred him from within. She lowered her gaze, nodded, and said, "I am sorry."
