Chapter 784: People Who Are Afraid of Pain Should Behave Themselves

Seeing his attitude seemed to soften slightly, Summer Shawcross quickly spoke up to seize the opportunity.

"Noah Drexler, didn’t Sean Morgan say before that the second time the poison strikes, it will be more painful than the first?"

Listening to her, Noah Drexler frowned, already anticipating what she was about to say.

"You succeeded the second time, why can’t I even succeed the first time?" Summer looked at him, speaking seriously.

She remembered when Sean once said that when she accompanied Noah in that instance, it was a relapse of the virus, and the detoxification process would be more painful than the first time.

So logically, the pain she would have to endure this time would be much lighter than what he went through last time, meaning her chances of success should be greater.

"..." Noah Drexler stared silently at the determined little woman in front of him.

He furrowed his brow, watching her for a long time before suddenly raising his hand.

His slender fingers fell on her cheek, and then... he pinched hard!

His sudden action startled Summer Shawcross.

"That hurts!" She quickly reached out to remove his hand and widened her eyes, glaring at him with displeasure.

"Why did you pinch me?"

Why on earth would he pinch her!

Noah Drexler didn’t answer her question, but after a few seconds of staring at her, he suddenly pursed his lips and asked her.

"Does it hurt?"

"Of course!" Summer responded without a thought.

Who wouldn’t feel pain from being pinched?

"If you find that level painful, how will you endure that kind of pain?" He looked down at her, his face full of seriousness.

As his voice fell, Summer was stunned, not expecting to be caught in his trap.

Seeing her dumbfounded face, the man’s eyes unknowingly filled with a bit of doting affection.

"People afraid of pain should behave." His deep voice was also full of indulgence toward her.

Summer bit her lip and suddenly reached out, grabbing his hand, placing it back on her cheek, and then seriously said to him.

"Pinch me again!"

Upon hearing that, Noah Drexler furrowed his brow.

A few seconds later, he still extended his fingers, pinching the flesh on her face with force.

Unlike her reaction of pain just now, this time she calmly looked at him.

Ultimately, he couldn’t bear to press harder and released his fingers.

"It doesn’t hurt at all." She smiled and suddenly said to him.

It doesn’t hurt at all...

As she finished speaking, the man’s body stiffened.

"Silly woman..." Bitterness filled his throat instantly.

He thought, there couldn’t be anyone dumber than this little woman of his in the whole world!

"Noah Drexler..." Summer bit her lip, reached for his hand, and gently pleaded with a soft voice.

The man’s expression changed, and the next second, he suddenly raised his hand to check the time on his watch before abruptly getting up from the sofa.

"I have something to do, need to go out for a bit, I’ll be back later."

After dropping this sentence, he turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

Summer stood frozen in place, watching his swiftly departing figure, her face full of helplessness.

...

Outside the bedroom.

Noah Drexler walked out to find Sean Morgan waiting at the door.

He glanced up at Sean with a not-so-great expression, his handsome face now had an added touch of Liam Coldwell’s chill.
