Chapter 1019
Zephyr brushed his cool fingers across her cheek, his voice gentle.
“Kitty, you almost died because of me, so I must take even better care of you. I can give you whatever you want
except letting you go,” he promised.
Johanna's expression promptly darkened. Pinning her eyes on the loathsome countenance before her, she snarled,
“If I'd known earlier, I wouldn't have saved you!”
In response, Zephyr flashed her a smile. “Could you bring yourself to do that? You want to live. If I die, you'll also
die.”
Johanna sneered, “Why are you so sure? I don't believe there aren't any lecherous men among those who want to
kill you. They love whatever belongs to others, be it your company or your woman. As long as I behave, perhaps

To her, her body was nothing but a shell. She had long since stopped caring about it.
All she wanted was to go back alive.
“What a naive Kitty.” Zephyr stroked her hair gently as though he was really soothing a kitten.
At that precise moment, a door sounded at the door. Two housekeepers wheeled a serving cart with food into the
room.
“Wheel it to the study door,” Zephyr ordered mildly. Gently placing Johanna in the wheelchair, he wheeled her to
the study at the other end of the corridor.
After placing his finger on the fingerprint scanner to unlock the study door, he wheeled her in before doing the
same with the cart at the door.
The study was massive, but the colors weren't as vivid as those in the bedroom and the others. Instead, it had a
color combination of black and gray, looking cold and monotonous, perfect for work purposes.
The space had both a working area and a lounge area.
Zephyr wheeled Johanna to the lounge area. Grabbing the remote control, he lowered the projector on the wall and
clicked on a video on his laptop.
"Watch carefully, Kitty.”
Following his words, Johanna tensed up.
Regretfully, the pain from her shoulder in the next heartbeat had her frowning deeply. Having no other choice, she
could only relax her body as she gripped the armrests of the wheelchair hard.
Hah! He must have recorded some sort of video and wants to use it to humiliate me!
Soon, a video played on the projector, but it wasn't the type of video she had expected. The bloody scenes and
wails of agony reverberating in her ears had her trembling all over.
She felt as though she could see blood gushing out of the projector and scent the coppery stench of it.
Her stomach roiled. She turned her head to the side and threw up the water she had drunk that morning.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing that, Zephyr crouched before her and wiped her mouth with a piece of tissue.
He grasped the back of her neck, forcing her to look at him.
“Kitty, not every owner is gentle like me. Their methods are even more ruthless than you could ever imagine. Not
only are they afraid of me, but they're also envious of me and yearn to kill me. Alas, they don't have that capability.
Others might still survive in their hands, but you're my pet, so you'll only wish for death if you end up in their
hands.” Zephyr snickered softly.
Johanna's lips quivered, and she couldn't even utter a single word.
Sensing her body trembling in his hands, Zephyr found it amusing and somewhat pitiful. “You look as though you've
got some guts, daring to say anything, but why are you so easily frightened? Here, I'll show you something else for
a change of scenery.”
He proceeded to reach for his phone from the table.
Johanna turned her head away. “I don't want to see it. Take it away.”
“I thought you would like it.” Tapping on the video on his phone, Zephyr lamented, “She's quite cute.”
Johanna could vaguely hear Asel's giggles, and she thought she was hallucinating.
When she ascertained that the sounds were coming from Zephyr's phone, she promptly snatched it from him and
stared at the phone screen earnestly.
