Chapter 244 A Deep Kiss. 
William leaned in. His breath was heavy with an alcoholic scent. 
Emelie turned her head away in avoidance “Have you been drinking?” 
Witam grunted in response 
Emelie’s brows furrowed. They were in the ICU at night, so their surroundings were silent. Emelie couldn’t help lowering her voice to ask, “Why are you here?! 
“I’m here to collect my reward.” 
“What rewar—mmph!” 
Halfway through her words, William found her lips and kissed her deeply. 

There was no gradual build–up of emotions or change in the atmosphere. The incoming kiss, which was tinged with the scent of alcohol, carried an overwhelming desire. 
Emelle’s hands were pinned behind her back, and her head was pressed firmly against the wall. They had never kissed in such a manner before. 
William stole her breath, leaving her gasping for air before he released her slightly. Only then did Emelie get the chance to breathe. 
“Are you crazy? We’re in the hospital!” 
William’s fingers brushed across her moist, flushed lips. He muttered in a raspy voice, “It’s 10:30 pm in the ICU. There’s no one around.” 
Emelie froze as a chill ran down her spine. “Who do you think you’re trying to mess with?” 
“You.” 
Emelie was fleetinglystunned before she started resisting. She said in anger, “Stop it!” 
William smirked. He was drunk, which added a touch of frivolousness to his usual cold self His Adam’s apple bobbed as he said flirtatiously, “I just want to kiss you,” Emelle lifted her gaze to meet his deep, dark eyes. 
What was that saying again? A man’s true character would be shown when he was drunk 
William’s gaze was so entrancing. It was as if Emelle was the whole world in his eyes. 
Of course, Emelle refused to believe in such an illusion. 

William’s presence was an enticing combination of his warm breath and refreshing scent. With his gaze fixed on Emelie, William leaned in for a second kiss Emelie clenched her hands, which were still pinned behind her back, tightly. Her fingernails sank deep into her flesh as she tried to endure the urge to resist. William continued his fierykisses for some time before finally letting her go, but Emelle could sense his growing desire. She feared that he would truly lose control. Noticing the wariness in Emelie’s eyes, William backed off slightly and asked, “When is the surgery scheduled?” 
Emelie steadied her breathing and replied, “In the morning on the day after tomorrow.” 
William gave a grant and then responded indifferently, “So, you’re available tomorrow?” 
Emelie was instantly reminded of his words at Eastbay a few days ago. He had said, “Just because I don’t want sex today doesn’t mean that I won’t want it tomorrow.” His threatening posture led her to snap. “I need to stay at the hospital with my mom tomorrow!” 
Wiliam frowned in displeasure. “ts Eliana not contributing financially or physically? Tell her to keep watch over her tomorrow.” 
“Eliana had stayed with her whenever I was on business trips. She’s had it tough. Her youngest daughter isn’t even a year old yet, and she needs her.” 
“Isn’t there anyone else in the family? Wam pondered “Mr. Haven..” 
“He has a fractured leg, so even if he’s released from prison tomorrow, he needs to stay home for recovery.” Emelie repeated, “So, it can only be me William brushed her lips with his tongue. “Are you trying to avoid me?” 
“No.” Emelie sotmed her tone, surprisingly giving in, as she said, “It’s just that I’m not in the mood for things like that Can’t you understand?” William paused, realizing that she had misunderstood. Still, he enjoyed her pleading tone. 
He then released her as he said, “Hurry up and get all the trouble sorted out. I’ve contributed, so I expect a reward.” 
Embe lowered her gaze with a hum 
William gave her one last look before leaving 
Enelle relaxed her grip only after William was gone. On her palms were deep crescent marks from her nails. 
She had to endure for just two more days. Once Greta’s surgery was over and everything was done and dusted, she would never return to his s
