The Vengeful Son-in-law

Chapter 53

"Tom, slow down. I can't catch up with you..."

Megan couldn't run fast in her high heels and chased after Tom breathlessly. Seeing that Tom didn't

want to wait for her, she quickly shouted.

Tom still didn't stop, so Megan had to speed up. When she met Tom tonight, she decided to seize the

opportunity no matter what. But she was wearing high heels, and she really couldn't do it. Unluckily,

she had just run two steps when her heel broke. With a cry of alarm, she fell to the ground.

Hearing the sound, Tom stopped and looked back. He saw Megan fall to the ground. Her knees were

bruised, and her eyes were filled with tears. She was looking at him pitifully.

Tom sighed, walked back, and squatted down in front of her. "Why are you running so fast?"

When Megan saw that Tom was willing to come over and care for her, she was secretly happy and

pretended to be even more pitiful. Tears fell down her face. "I wanted to catch up with you. You walked This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

so fast in front of me."

Her voice was full of grievances, and with her beautiful face, men would feel sorry for her. They couldn't

bear to hurt her and wanted to protect her from harm.

As a man, Tom also displayed such a feeling, but he quickly returned to normal. After examining her

injury, he found that there was nothing serious. He said angrily, "Why are you chasing me? Are you

mad?"

Megan said, "You just saved me. Can't I express my gratitude to you? My mother has told me to repay

people's kindness since I was a child. From today on, you are my savior."

Seeing Tom approaching her, Megan's heart raced and she became nervous. She had never

experienced this feeling before. Tonight, Tom showed too much charm, completely overturning her

previous impression of him.

"Put that away. It's no use to me." Tom was indifferent to Megan's seduction and said coldly, "Megan,

don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Put away your indecent thoughts. I didn't bother about you

because you're Phoebe's good friend. Otherwise, I would have kicked you out of ZQ long ago."

Megan gritted her teeth. Facing Tom's indifference, she was very depressed. Obviously, she was not

worse looking than Phoebe. How could Phoebe marry a rich husband, but she was alone?

"Tom, you misunderstood me. I mean it to you. I admit that I did treat you a little badly in the past, but

that's all because Phoebe treated you like this. As her friend, I don't know you yet. I can't go against

her, can I?" Megan blinked, looking pitiful.

Tom felt that Megan did have a point. Phoebe's attitude towards him was very bad before. All of

Phoebe's friends did not treat him well.

Megan observed Tom's expression and said cautiously, "Tom, can you take me home? I can't leave

now. I'm a little scared..."

Tom immediately frowned and refused without thinking. "No."

"Ah?" Megan's face turned bitter. She shook Tom's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Tom, please. I can't

even stand up now. Are you going to watch me being bullied by a bad man? There are so many punks

here. I'm scared..."

Her soft words made Tom shudder. Megan was too coquettish. A man like Tom couldn't bear it.

Tom looked up and saw that there were indeed a lot of people around him looking at this side. They

were thinking of Megan. If he left, Megan might really be in trouble.

"Call your family and ask them to pick you up. I can leave when your family comes." Tom said in a low

voice.

When Megan knew that Tom had changed his attitude and couldn't bear to see her being bullied by

men, she was overjoyed and had a great chance to persuade Tom to send her home! On the surface,

she looked disappointed and said pitifully, "My family has long gone abroad. They can't even protect

themselves now. How can they care about me?"

Tom fell silent. Since Megan lowered his head, he did not see the craftiness in Megan's eyes. "What

about your friend? You can ask your friend to come and pick you up."

"My friend?" Megan laughed at herself. "I haven't had any friends since my family was in trouble."

Suddenly, she thought of something and said, "Phoebe is the only one who will pick up me. But it's late

at night. It's not safe for her to come alone..."

That really stumped Tom.

After thinking for a while, Tom glared at her and said, "Just this once!"

Megan immediately cheered and nodded as hard as a chick pecked rice, "Definitely!"

Tom rolled his eyes coldly, then helped Megan up and said, "Can you walk by yourself?"

Megan tried to take two steps. She appeared painful. She couldn't put forth her strength with her

sprained foot. Her eyes were filled with tears and she said, "I can't walk."

Seeing that she couldn't walk for the time being, Tom said, "I'll take you to the hospital. You can go

back by yourself after you're cured tomorrow."

Megan didn't want to go to the hospital at all. It took her a long time to persuade Tom to send her

home. If she played her part better, she might have won Tom's heart. "I don't have to go to the hospital.

When I get home, I'll ice it. I'll be fine tomorrow."

"Okay." Tom took a look. She really didn't need to go to the hospital with such a small injury.

Fortunately, this was a street of bars. There were a lot of taxis parked on the side of the road, and it

was easy to get a taxi. Tom helped Megan into the car. After twenty minutes, he went downstairs to

Megan's residence.

With the driver's envious and curious expression, Tom helped Megan out of the car. "Can you leave

now?"

"No." Megan's eyes flickered.

Tom sighed and continued to help her forward. But after two steps, Megan was panting, her face was

covered in sweat, and her expression was full of pain. "I can't do it."

"What's wrong?" Tom asked.

Megan said, "It hurts so much. I can't walk anymore. You didn't even concentrate on helping me. It's

like I'm a plague. It hurts so much that I can't walk anymore."

Tom was a little embarrassed. He really didn't do much to help Megan. After all, body contact was not

allowed in handing over and taking over between men and women. He couldn't hold Megan in his arms

while walking, could he?

Tom coughed twice to cover his embarrassment and said, "Why don't you put your hands on my

shoulder and hop away? You'll be home soon anyway."

Megan widened her eyes and looked at him in shock. It seemed that she did not expect Tom to say

such a cold and cruel thing. She said with great grievance, "I'm so hurt. You still... Forget it. Go back. I'll

go back myself!"

She looked angry.

"Okay." Tom nodded without hesitation.

"Ouch!" Megan immediately stopped him and said flatly, "You really have the heart to leave?"

Tom pretended not to hear and continued walking. Megan felt very aggrieved. Her nose ached and

then she cried.
