Chapter 712 Death is Your Reward
"I won't force myself on you, Emma. Don't worry. I have all the patience in the world. Slowly, you will see how kind I
am. And you'll fall in love with me."
"Why would I fall in love with you? I don't even know what you look like."
Adam was left speechless. "I am a handsome man. Come. Touch my face."
Emmeline withdrew her arms. "I will not touch you."
Adam felt a bit disheartened. Emmeline was right. How could she fall in love with him when she couldn't see him?
No matter. It was but a matter of time until Emmeline gave in. When that happened, he could restore her eyesight.

"Yes. Forever."
"My family will get me out of here. I will leave soon," Emmeline uttered.
"But I know many ways to make them fail." Adam then patted Emmeline's head. "Stay here, my love."
"Go away!" Emmeline swatted Adam's hand away and moved further. She was drugged. She couldn't see. She had
no way to fend off the pervert that imprisoned her.
"Mr. Anthony, the doctor said it's time to change her dressing." A voice came from outside the door.
"Let him in," ordered Adam. "Behave now. The doctor is here to change your dressing. It won't hurt. I'll be here."
"Okay." Emmeline nodded. Her wound needed to be treated.
Moments later, Henry came with a medical kit.
"Be gentle with her. I don't want to see Miss Louise wince from pain here," instructed Adam.
"Yes, Master," answered Henry. Almost instantaneously, a strong grip seized his throat. Henry wanted to scream but
Adam already covered Henry's mouth with his hand. That was when Henry noticed his fatal mistake. Adam had told
him to address Adam as Mr. Anthony, not "Master". Adam shot an angry look at Henry. Henry nodded frantically, to
apologize and to beg for mercy.
"I meant to say Mr. Anthony." Henry corrected himself once Adam removed his hand from Henry's mouth.
"Do your job now."
"Miss Louise, I'll change your dressing now."

a frightened expression.
"I am the owner of this estate. My servants, they call me 'Master' at times." Adam tried to dismiss it.
"But it sure reminded me of someone."
"Who?" Adam probed.
"The owner of Imperial Palace. His servants call him master too. You're just like him."
Adam threw another glare at Henry. He would love to tear Henry apart. But not now. He had to play it cool in case
Emmeline found out.
"Come on now, Miss Louise. You think too highly of me. I could only wish I was the owner of Imperial Palace," said
Adam as Henry changed Emmeline's dressing in silence.
Once Henry was done, he bolted out of the room as if his life depended on it.
Adam left the room too. He then made a throat-slitting gesture before his servant. "Reward the doctor, please."
