“Dr. Smith, why are you acting so strange today?” Cameron couldn’t help but ask.
“Don’t bother about me. Answer my question first.” Tara was relentless.
“Uh… how do I put it?” Looking at the stubborn Tara, Cameron did not know what to think. He did not know how to answer Tara’s questions. After all, the things that he was thinking about were quite hard to describe.
He remembered meeting Tara for the first time at the hospital. Back then, Tara had teased him so much that his wounds had almost split open. Tara’s intention for teasing him had been obvious too. She had her eyes on his rapid-healing body, and she wanted to conduct experiments on him.
Even though Tara hadn’t brought this matter up for a long time, he still remembered it clearly.
He was afraid that if he got too close to her, she would treat him as an experiment and dissect him, even if it was just a small part of his body. The thought of it made the hair on the back of his neck stand up. “Hmph! You have no answer, do you?” Tara harrumphed lightly. She didn’t know what Cameron was thinking about at that moment, but she was sure that he was only trying to find an
excuse.
“No, Dr. Smith. I wanted to say…” Cameron looked awkward. He was conflicted.
“What did you want to say?” Tara’s cheeks puffed up.
“Well… Dr. Smith, y-you’re not interested in my body, right?” Cameron was forced to say it out loud.
“Interested in your body? Cameron, do I look that thirsty to you?” Tara blushed. Did Cameron think that she wanted to take him back to her place and sleep with him?
“What? You’re really not interested?” Cameron was stunned by her answer.
“Of course not! I’m not that unladylike to have the hots for your body!” Tara rolled her eyes at Cameron.
“Uh…” Cameron instantly realized that Tara had misunderstood him.
Indeed, what he had said had been rather misleading. He immediately explained, “That’s not what I meant. I mean, you’re not eyeing my body anymore, are you? That’s not right either… I mean to say, you no longer want to use my body for science experiments, do you?”
“Pfft!” Tara couldn’t help but let out a muffled laugh when she heard Cameron’s words. It turned out that he was apprehensive about this.
The annoyance in her eyes instantly vanished. She looked at Cameron and batted her eyes as she said, “So, you’re worried about this! Don’t worry. I’ve lost interest in your body a long time ago. You’re so handsome; it’d be a pity to dissect you. I’d rather have you alive!”
