Love Is a Sweet Addiction

“You should remember the shame.” Betty snorted coldly.

Esther knew that Betty was talking about her losing the memory five years ago. Esther did not remember anything. And she didn’t want to know what had happened at that time. But judging from their reaction, something bad must have happened to her.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Seeing Doris blaming herself in front of Betty, Esther remembered the time when she suffered at the Cusack’s.

She remembered how arrogant Anne was. She remembered Anne had an affair with James.

So, Esther said faintly, “Alright, I’ll do it!”

Esther knew that Terence looked terrible when he got sick. She didn’t know how long he could live nor what he looked like. James had said that Terence was ugly, but Esther didn’t care about it as long as Terence was a Gibson. He could help her and her mother get rid of the Cusacks. He could make James and Anne lower their heads and address her as auntie. It was a tempting enough for Esther to marry him!

Marrying Terence was her only chance to get back at the Cusacks, so she should hold onto it tightly.

Betty heaved a sigh of relief when Esther finally agreed to marry Terence.

But Doris couldn’t accept it. She grabbed Esther’s wrist and cried, “Esther, you can’t marry him. Are you stupid? People said he’s a vampire! He marries you for your blood. He just takes you as a blood bank. They said he has a transfusion every time he gets sick. He will never get enough of blood. You’ll die in two years!”

Of course, Esther had heard these rumors. When Betty asked her to replace Anne and marry Terence, Esther had investigated him.

From the information she got, Terence was indeed a demon!

However, it didn’t matter. Not all demons were evil. She could never win if she didn’t take the risk.

Esther looked at Betty and sneered, “Grandma, you always said that you saved and raised me. You’ve been so nice to me. I’ll marry him if you want me to.”

Betty lowered her eyes and did not say anything. It was rare for her to look this guilty.

…

The morning lights shone into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. It landed on the big bed in the middle of the room.

The handsome man on the bed frowned slightly and woke up.

The lights might have shone in his eyes. He frowned and looked distressed.

“You’re awake? Looks like you slept well.” At the end of the bed, someone said with concerns, even though it sounded as if he was mocking Terence.

Terence lowered his eyes and glanced at the man. It was his attending doctor and friend Ross Hull. Terence sat up and said, “I had a dream last night.”

“What did you dream of?” Ross walked over and smiled meaningfully. “Did you dream of an affair?”

Ross was joking, but Terence looked at him seriously and nodded. “I dreamed of that woman again.”

“She’s preying on your mind.” Ross sighed and shook his head. He patted Terence’s shoulder. “Let’s have breakfast now. They’re waiting for you at the hospital.”

Ross turned around and walked to the bedroom door.

Terence was still sitting on the bed. Lots of strange images surged into his mind. He suffered an attack of his illness, and that woman came back. He missed her so much that he hugged and kissed her. He even bit her because he got sick and lost control of himself.
