Chapter 26 I Promise You
"That drug is mixed with a kind of herb which can temporarily paralyze her vocal cords. However, it usually does not last long. She should be able to speak soon."
Anderson nodded and asked David to send her out.
After they left, he went to the bedside and looked at Clarissa who was lying on the bed.
At this moment, Clarissa was much quieter. She was lying in the bed, motionless, as if she was asleep.
But her face was still red, which showed that she still felt comfortable and was controlling herself.
Anderson looked at her for a while, but he didn't say anything. He turned around and left.
A few seconds later, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Clarissa opened her eyes in a daze, then she saw Anderson walking to her.
"Do you want to soak in the cold water?"
She looked at him and nodded.
Anderson carried her in his arms and walked towards the bathroom.
The big bathtub was filled with water. Anderson put her in. The cold water made her body tremble and she held herself tightly.
"Can you sit firmly on your own?"
Clarissa nodded and wanted to say yes. But as long as Anderson let go of her, she lost her balance and fell into the water.
Anderson's helpless sigh sounded above her head.
The next second, he pulled her out of the water. She coughed painfully and spat out a mouthful of water.
When she was about to open her eyes, he wiped the water on her face with a towel not very gently. The next second, she heard the sound of someone stepping into the bathtub.
Anderson stepped into the bathtub and sat down.
He sat behind her, let her lean on his body and wrapped his arms around her.
Clarissa's back froze instantly. Anderson's body was so hot that she felt as if she was leaning against a rock from a volcano behind her.
Feeling his hot breathing, she was sexually aroused again.
She couldn't help but struggle and wanted to leave him, but Anderson's unhappy and cold voice came from behind her, "Don't move!"
Anderson's face darkened. He was already in a bad mood after being refused by her. If it weren't for the fact that he was worried that she would drown in the water, he would not sit here.
Clarissa was not the only one who felt uncomfortable because of such a posture.
Clarissa seemed to think of this, and her face changed. After making sure that he would not do anything else, she sat still.
It was quiet in the bathroom. They soaked in the water quietly. The original cold water didn't seem so cold because they held each other.
She was weak all over. If it weren't for Anderson holding her from behind, she couldn't even sit still.
When she thought of the one who drugged her, she felt that it was ridiculous.
She thought that no matter how bad her family members were, they were just partial to Lara, and they just wanted her to give up and help Elliot and Lara.
She didn't intend to have anything to do with Elliot, so she could help them lie to others.
But she didn't expect that they were more ruthless than she thought.
In order to let Lara and Elliot be together reasonably and not be gossiped by others, they actually framed her for having an affair with Matthias!
They even drugged her and wanted her to sleep with Matthias!
They were her father and her grandmother!
If she didn't grow up in the Chapman family, and if she didn't live a happy life with them before she was 18 years old, she would really doubt whether she was the biological child of the Chapman family!
She had complicated feelings in her heart. She felt sad but also angry.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
After a long time, she doesn't feel hot anymore and her mind seemed to have become much clearer.
She opened her eyes and felt that her throat was no longer as tight as before. She tried to open her mouth and said, "Anderson, I feel better."
Although her voice was very low, she could finally speak.
She let out a sigh of relief.
Anderson didn't say anything. He got up and carried her out of the bathtub.
Her body was wetted by water, and the wet dress was tightly attached to her body, revealing her sexy figure.
Clarissa blushed. She pushed away his hand which was trying to wipe her body. She snatched the towel and said in a hurry, "I can do it myself."
Anderson looked at her and didn't say anything. Seeing her lowering her head with a shy and embarrassed face, he suddenly smiled.
"Okay, since you've recovered, shouldn't you repay your lifesaver? For example, you can wipe my body for me."
Clarissa was stunned. She raised her head and looked at him in surprise.
Anderson stayed in the water with her, so his body was naturally wet.
The white shirt was attached to his chest, and his strong pectoral muscles could be easily seen. His pectoral muscles were attractive and sexy. His figure was perfect.
Her face blushed completely all of a sudden. She stammered and waved her hands.
"Well... I..."
Anderson was so commanding that she got so nervous and couldn't speak fluently.
She was clever and fluent in ordinary times, but at this moment, she couldn't say a word.
Anderson smiled and suddenly held her hand.
Clarissa was so frightened that she took a step back and leaned against the wall.
The next second, Anderson approached her. She could see his handsome and perfect face very clearly. There was an evil smile on his face, but his eyes looked so serious.
He supported himself against the wall with one hand and held her with the other. Then, he grabbed her chin and gently lifted it.
"I remember I told you that I would give you three days to think about it. Now that three days have passed, shouldn't you fulfill your promise?"
Clarissa was stunned for a moment.
She looked into his eyes. His dark eyes were deep and calm, like a piece of ice that had not melted for a thousand years. It was a great contrast to his gentle and elegant appearance.
Being stared at by him, she was so flustered in her heart and felt that her heart was in her mouth.
In fact, after thinking about it carefully, marrying Anderson would not cause a bad influence on her.
Although she did not know why he would marry her, she needed a husband and a marriage. It was a fact.
The reason why she attended Lara's birthday banquet was because Chloe had used her mother's effects to threaten her.
If those things were always in Chloe's hands, she would never be able to get rid of her control.
But if she got married with Anderson whom the Chapman family could not afford to offend, everything would change.
Furthermore, although Anderson was mysterious, as far as she was concerned, he meant no harm to her.
She had been hurt by Elliot once, so she did not think that she could fall in love with another man as unscrupulously as she used to be.
So, what was the difference between marring Anderson and someone else?
Thinking of this, her nervous mood eased a little.
When she looked at Anderson again, her eyes were complicated.
"Anderson, are you sure you want to marry me?"
Anderson raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I'm not sincere enough?"
Clarissa pursed her lips, hesitated in her heart for the last time and then nodded heavily.
"Okay, I promise you."
