Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Alexander Summers laughed, “Disgust is useless, once I’ve given it to you, it’s yours.”

Purple Summers frowned and with her fingertips extended, she gently opened the gift box using just two fingers.

Thankfully, there was no blood inside the gift box; nestled on the smooth black velvet were two pink diamond earrings, sparkling and luminous.

“Do you like them?” Alexander examined her face.

“…Not bad,” Purple muttered vaguely, setting down the gift box, “I’m going to wash my hands.”

After cleaning the blood off her hands and returning, she saw that the earrings were now in Alexander’s hands.

He waved her over, “Come here, let me help you put them on.”

Purple was a bit hesitant, yet somewhat excited. She knew quality when she saw it, and those earrings were truly lovely…

She shuffled hesitantly to the edge of the bed, only to be pulled over by Alexander, who was sitting on it.

“I don’t have pierced ears,” she covered her ears with her hands.

Alexander, unceremoniously, pressed her head down onto his lap, swept aside her long hair, and gripped her ear, asking, “What are these then?”

It was Suzanne Saunders who didn’t have her ears pierced, but Purple did, and not just one or two—each ear had three or four piercings.

Alexander began to affix the diamond earrings to her lobes.

“Ouch…” Purple inhaled sharply, “Be gentle, will you!”

“How can it hurt? Are they too tight…” Alexander was puzzled; he had never put earrings on a woman before and thought it should be as simple as passing the metal through the piercings, but Purple was saying it hurt.

Could it be that the piercings had sealed up from not wearing jewelry for so long?

He said, “Bear with it a bit.”

The tiny metal pin in his hand prodded further into the piercing.

“Umm… no, can’t, it really hurts,” Purple’s voice sounded pitiful.

Alexander felt something wet and, moving his fingers away, saw a smudge of fresh red.

“You’re bleeding,” he said, surprised. The piercing really had closed up.

“I told you it’s painful!” Purple complained, “Hurry up and take it out.”

“But I’m almost done.” Alexander was reluctant to give up, how could he not succeed with a Valentine’s Day gift he was giving for the first time?

He coaxed in a low voice, “Be a good girl, listen to me, it’ll be over soon… Just endure it a little longer…”

Purple clenched her fists, thinking that since it was already halfway in, “Then hurry up!” she said.

Alexander indeed acted quickly, but Purple felt as if her earlobes were stung by something, it was very painful!

Although the pain was bearable, she felt irritated and fiercely pinched the inside of Alexander’s thigh!

“You hurt me!”

“But you asked me to hurry…”

…

Zack Wallace personally pushed the cart to the outside of Alexander’s room, where he saw two guards eavesdropping at the door, smirking sleazily.

“Have you had enough of living, daring to listen in on what’s happening in Master Xander’s room!” Wallace glared at them fiercely.

After scolding them, he couldn’t help but give in to his curiosity and asked, “What did you hear to make you laugh like that?”

“Master Xander couldn’t hold back his lust, he went and did Ms. Summers!”

“Nonsense!” Wallace frowned, “Master has just had surgery, what’s there to do! Maybe it’s your heads that need sorting out!”

“It’s true, Mr. King,” another person stifled a laugh, tears almost coming out, “Master Xander said that Ms. Summers was too tight and even drew blood. Do you think we should go in there and have a word? Tell Master to take care of his health…pfft…”

Upon hearing this, Wallace’s heart lurched.

It can’t be…

It’s only been half an hour since the surgery; is Master Xander trying to kill himself?

But listening to the two of them talk, it sounded so real, so detailed…

Wallace, standing at the door with the cart, hesitated—should he go in?
