An Unstoppable Force

"Tell me one thing," Lily paused deliberately as she stifled a yawn. "How did you remove the cuffs from your wrists?" she asked Zhuo Jingren, who was sitting on the couch just a few feet away from her. He was drinking a cup of coffee while reading some documents. Lily lazily stretched her sore body before she pulled the sheets up to cover herself.

"I broke them," he answered as he lifted his gaze. He placed  his cup and the documents down and walked towards the bed. "Next time, buy something more… durable." He sat next to her and kissed her forehead. "How are you? Do we need to take you to be seen by a physical therapist?" he enquired as he gave her a sly smile.
