Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 47 He Is Fine

| jumped out of bed abruptly. My tone of voice was a little provocative as | had gotten shocked for no reason. “Mr.

Hartnell, why are you not sleeping yet at this late hour? Why are you doing here? You scared the hell out of me,”

I uttered.

However, little did | know that Dominic was way more aggressive than | was. “You do know that it’s late at night.

Why did you laugh so loudly? Are you crazy?”

Well... Nicholas tolda joke just now. That's why I couldn’t help but laugh.

Knowing that | was in the wrong, | cleared my throat and said, “I'll be more mindful next time.”

“Is there even going to be a next time? Who are you talking to at this hour? You look so happy.” Dominic's eyes

darkened as he looked at me.

Subconsciously, I hid my phone behindand answered, “Nobody. | was just laughing at sreality shows.”

The man evidently didn’t believeas he proceeded to askfor my phone.

| refused his request without hesitation. “It’s my phone. Why should | give it to you? | have the rights to my own

privacy.”

His voice grew colder as he barked out, “Hand it over to me!”

“I'm not giving it to you. Cand get it yourself if you want it so badly!” | purposely stood up from the bed and

raised my hand in the air while saying that.

| stuck out my tongue provocatively. Serves him right for threateningall the time. I'm just going to make fun

of him a little. Hmph! He can’t even walk. Let's see what's he going to do!

“I'll give you one last chance. Give it to me,” he said every single word through gritted teeth.

“Dominic, let's be reasonable. This is my phone. Why do | have to give it to you? Who | chat with is none of your

business.”

Is he out of his mind? Usually, he only goes crazy once in a while. | have never seen him act like this before.

Anyway, | would never give my phone to him.

Despite having my mind made up, Dominic's gaze was too invasive. | couldn’t stand it. Therefore, | turned my

head and looked out of the window.

Suddenly, | saw an extremely terrifying scene through the reflection on the window.

Dominic stood up! More surprisingly, he even started walking towards me.

My heart skipped a beat. When | turned around to see if my eyes were tricking me, | lost my balance. Stumbling

wildly, | fell on the bed.

| pointed my finger at him, stuttering as | did so. | couldn't seem to form any words properly.

“Y-you... Dominic, your leg...”

| rubbed my eyes several times in shock. Dominic was really walking.

What's going on? Am | dreaming? Or am | seeing things?

“Why? Are you not happy to see my legs working properly?” The man walked towards the bedside and sat down.

That is not the main point!

He has been sitting in a wheelchair all this while. How is it possible for him to have recovered so suddenly?

“No. But, you... Your legs are fine?”

The smile Dominic flashedsent chills down my spine. “Aren’t you seeing it with your own eyes now? Should |

drag you to a five thousand meters run?”

| instantly waved my hands when | heard him saying five thousand meters. | was embarrassingly bad at sports.

The recovery was a really strange feat. How is it possible that he’s recovered so suddenly? That kind of thing

only happens in ! Does he have superpowers? Did he meet a divine physician? It's just too unrealistic.

Unless...

Suddenly, | realized something, and my eyes widened in shock.

“Dominic, were your legs all right all this while? You've been lying tothis whole time?”

“I didn’t lie to you. | was injured. | didn’t say | would beccrippled for the rest of my life. That's just your

wishful thinking.”

Well... I didn’t remember him saying that. But why did he have to sit in that wheelchair every day if his leg has

already recovered? He looks alright to me!

“Were you bored and wanted to play tricks? Why did you pretend to be crippled all this while?” | yelled at him in

frustration.

The man sizedup a few times with a thoughtful expression and said, “If | was indeed crippled, would you feel

sad? Would you be heartbroken?”

I would never feel sad for him, not to mention being heartbroken. He can dream on!

| whipped my head around and ignored him.

Such a reaction fromcaused him to smile indifferently. It seemed that he wasn’t about to insist on hearing

my answer.

“Let's see who my caregiver is chatting with in the middle of the night... Which guy made you so happy?”

Upon hearing that, | hurriedly turned to face him. However, he had already bent over and picked up my phone

from the ground.

| wished to reach out and grab it, but Dominic's leg was fine now. He towered overwhen he stood up. When

my phone was in his hands, | couldn't touch it at all.

“What the hell are you doing? Return it to me!”

He ignored me, proceeding to scroll through my phone. His actions and his countenance madehopping mad.

Why couldn’t he respect people's privacy?

“Brilliant, Liliana!” he exclaimed in a cold tone. His facial expression gradually darkened as he did so.

“Are you done looking? Give it back to me!”

| tiptoed and tried to get my phone back.

Dominic! You're such a crazy a*shole! Before | could stop him, the man had thrown my phone to the ground,

smashing it into pieces.

| moved forward to pick it up, but Dominic grabbed my hand and pulledback forcefully. | fell back on the bed,

and before | could get up, he pressedunderneath him with his entire body weight.

I was about to scold him, “Dominic, you... Mmm...”

However, his sudden kiss prohibitedfrom doing anything like that.

After five years, he had finally kissedagain.

In an instant, my eyes widened in disbelief, and my mind went blank.

He... How could he kiss me?

His kiss was incredibly forceful to the point where | could barely breathe. | might have passed out if he hadn't let
