novelxo Chapter 401
"Dr. Smith, why are you acting so strange today?" Cameron couldn't help but ask.
"Don't bother about me. Answer my question first." Tara was relentless.
"Uh... how do I put it?" Looking at the stubborn Tara, Cameron did not know what to think. He did not know how to answer Tara's questions. After all, the things that he was thinking about were quite hard to describe.
He remembered meeting Tara for the first time at the hospital. Back then, Tara had teased him so much that his wounds had almost split open. Tara's intention for teasing him had been obvious too. She had her eyes on his rapid-healing body, and she wanted to conduct experiments on him.
Even though Tara hadn't brought this matter up for a long time, he still remembered it clearly.
He was afraid that if he got too close to her, she would treat him as an experiment and dissect him, even if it was just a small part of his body. The thought of it made the hair on the back of his neck stand up. "Hmph! You have no answer, do you?" Tara harrumphed lightly. She didn't know what Cameron was thinking about at that moment, but she was sure that he was only trying to find an excuse.
"No, Dr. Smith. I wanted to say..." Cameron looked awkward. He was conflicted.
"What did you want to say?" Tara's cheeks puffed up.
"Well... Dr. Smith, y-you're not interested in my body, right?" Cameron was forced to say it out loud.
"Interested in your body? Cameron, do I look that thirsty to you?" Tara blushed. Did Cameron think that she wanted to take him back to her place and sleep with him?
"What? You're really not interested?" Cameron was stunned by her answer.
"Of course not! I'm not that unladylike to have the hots for your body!" Tara rolled her eyes at Cameron.
"Uh..." Cameron instantly realized that Tara had misunderstood him.
Indeed, what he had said had been rather misleading. He immediately explained, "That's not what I meant. I mean, you're not eyeing my body anymore, are you? That's not right either... I mean to say, you no longer want to use my body for science experiments, do you?"
"Pfft!" Tara couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh when she heard Cameron's words. It turned out that he was apprehensive about this.
The annoyance in her eyes instantly vanished. She looked at Cameron and batted her eyes as she said, "So, you're worried about this! Don't worry. I've lost interest in your body a long time ago. You're so handsome; it'd be a pity to dissect you. I'd rather have you alive!"
"Phew! You should've told me that, Dr. Smith." Cameron was instantly relieved too.
"Well, you didn't ask." Tara smiled. She was in a much better mood now that they had cleared the air.
"I didn't dare." Cameron shook his head.
"Why? Am I that scary?" Tara asked, surprised.
"Not only are you scary, but you're also a monster..." Cameron smiled bitterly, thinking back to his encounter with her in the hospital.
"A monster?" Tara looked perplexed. Maybe she would seem a little aloof to other people, but she was no monster, right?
"Dr. Smith
h we should go." Cameron
did not want to linger on that topic. If
he made her unhappy and she decided to go after his body once more, he wouldn't know what to do.
"No! You have to explain it to me!" Tara insisted.
How was she scary?
"Well... it's not that important anymore. Anyway, you're totally different now!"
"How was like in the past?" Tara
wasn't just going to let it go. She
wanted Cameron to tell her the truth. She wanted to know what
Cameron's impression of her was in the past.
"Uh... I'm not at liberty to say that."
"No, you have to answer me!"
"Are you sure you want to know?"
"Yes!"

"Alright then." Cameron raised an eyebrow. He braced himself and said, Do you remember the things you did to me when we first met at the hospital?"

Tara suddenly thought back to that time. Her heart started beating slightly faster. She said gently, "Yeah. What about it?"
"What about it? Well..." Cameron said apprehensively.
"So, your impression of me in the past was that I was a rude and loose woman?" Tara looked at Cameron, feeling both embarrassed and angry. After all, no one would want anyone to think of them like that.
"Um... I don't think you're rude."
"Just a loose woman, then."
"J-Just a little," Cameron answered.
Tara blinked before asking, "What about now?"
"Now? I think that you're great! You're graceful and intellectual!" Cameron instantly tried to salvage the situation.
"So, do you like the version of me in the past or the version of me now?" Tara asked, looking at him eagerly.
