Chapter 559 I Will Only Act If It’s Your Wish or What You Want Never before had there been a moment when Joe felt his willpower tested to such an extreme. He knew that Charlotte’s condition was off and loathed himself for being acutely aware of it. Without hesitation, Joe plundered the air between Charlotte’s lips and teeth, only releasing her reluctantly when she frowned uncomfortably. Perhaps momentarily satisfied, the current Charlotte obediently leaned against Joe’s shoulder and gently nuzzled against it. Joe lowered his gaze, looking at his unrestrained impulses, and with a bitter smile, he dialed Vincent’s phone number. Vincent seemed to have anticipated the situation long before as he answered the call leisurely, “Do you need something?” Joe rubbed the space between his eyebrows. “I think you’re not interested in continuing to run your clinic.” Vincent exclaimed in a playful tone, “You said your girlfriend was in trouble, and I rushed over in a hurry to save her. In the end, why do I still get complaints? Truly, a man’s heart is as fickle as the sea.” “I’ll contact the lawyer right away,” Joe sneered. Vincent quickly called out to him, “You really don’t know how to appreciate favors! I helped you, and you’re repaying me like this? Isn’t it just that she’s unusually ‘eager’ for you right now?” Joe narrowed his eyes, “So you really did something to her.” “I’m innocent!” Vincent denied quickly, “I’m a legitimate doctor. How could I do something like that?” Joe clicked his tongue, and Vincent realized he couldn’t drag it out any longer. He had to explain, “You should know what that special drug was originally used for, right? Besides making people addicted, it also has intense side effects, like a certain impulse being particularly obvious…” Enter title… Joe suddenly tensed up all over. He could no longer make out what Vincent was saying by his ear; his astonished gaze was fixed on Charlotte’s face.
Perhaps feeling neglected as Joe talked on the phone, Charlotte pouted and glared at him, then with a growl, she bit onto Joe’s Adam’s apple. The warm sensation against his cold skin left Joe stiffened, his fingers hovering on Charlotte’s shoulder, attempting to push her away. Yet, at this moment, Charlotte seemed utterly insatiable as she licked his Adam’s apple sensually. Joe’s tightly strung nerves finally snapped with a resounding snap. He abruptly hung up the call, flinging his phone aside. The phone rolled twice on the ground, its screen shattering instantly. Joe didn’t spare even a glance at the phone. His gaze remained locked onto Charlotte, his voice now hoarse with exasperation, “Charlotte, do you even realize what you’re doing?” He had assumed that Charlotte wouldn’t respond, so he was taken aback when she suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze brimming with boundless, watery intention. “Of course, I know. Joe, will you endure it?” Joe lowered his gaze to meet hers, and only Charlotte’s figure was reflected in his deep, dark pupils. He spoke earnestly, “Charlotte, the choice has always been in your hands between us. I am no longer the fool who hurt his loved one in a moment of impulsiveness. I will only act if it’s your wish or what you want.” Joe’s expression was so serious that it seemed to momentarily clear the hazy thoughts in Charlotte’s mind. She carefully scrutinized the man before her. Five years had passed, and Joe’s demeanor had drastically changed. He used to be like a sharp dagger, always piercing the enemy’s heart quickly and accurately. Now, he resembled more a sheathed sword, with its edge concealed, composed, and stable, delivering a lethal strike. Perhaps the time they had spent together in the past was filled more with reluctance, sorrow, and hearts as lifeless as ashes.
