The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 28

I began feeling uneasy about this project, so I asked, “Doctor Laura, is it really okay for us to be doing

this?“

“If the mating is successful, that is, when the mermaid becomes pregnant, can we successfully raise

the child with the current technology and our limited understanding of merpeople? This mermaid is

naturally from a warmer climate and Die… I mean the merman is from a colder climate. How can we

know which climate their offspring would be more suited for? Where would we release them?“, I blurted

out my thoughts.

Laura just coldly shrugged her shoulders. She walked to me and expressionlessly said, “I’m sorry, our

little researcher. We do not have the intention to release their offspring into the wild. We’re not like you,

we have different objectives.“

“What do you mean you’re not like me? What objective?“ I was confused by Laura’s words, wasn’t this

a biology research facility?

But when I wanted to pursue this matter further, Laura signaled the men behind her.

I heard a splash.

“Wait!“

But it was already too late. Alice was already thrown into the water. Her long silver hair scattered in a

mess while her pale skin glistened in the water, her appearance was so graceful.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

My eyes anxiously followed her, I had a bad feeling about this… As she sank down from the water

surface, she began to maneuver herself with her tail. She quickly adapted to her surroundings, and

started to swim freely.

My heart rate suddenly became more rapid. I had a bad feeling about this and it was making me panic.

I clenched my fists in an effort to calm myself.

Alice seemed to have sensed the fragrance that Dicken had emitted and so she started seeking the

source.

I called out in my mind, ‘Dicken, where are you? Your mate is looking for you.’

I anxiously waited for Dicken to appear and the uneasiness I had been feeling grew worse.

Finally, Dicken’s dark silhouette appeared in the water. I suddenly felt shaken and my legs trembled to

the point where I almost fell.

Gary immediately came to support me and shouted, “ Linda, stop watching! “

I escaped from his arms with annoyance and walked to Laura’s side and asked, “Doctor, you have

cigarettes right? I’d like to have one.“

I saw the pack of cigarettes in her breast pocket. Laura smiled and handed me a long and thin cigarette

from it.

I took it and steadied myself mentally. I didn’t have a nicotine addiction but I would occasionally smoke

when I was stressed or frustrated. Right then, I needed one to calm myself.

I squatted down, lit the cigarette, and took a long drag. The smell of tobacco overpowered the

merman’s fragrance and it calmed my nerves.

Alice was slowly approaching Dicken and she seemed enthusiastic. She waved her tail in front of

Dicken several times as if she was dancing. This was a good start, many creatures would do this to

attract potential partners to mate with. I really hoped the mating process between them would be

successful.

The aggressive Dicken from before was calm now. He wasn’t as fierce as when he was with me before.

He was just floating peacefully in the water. He then extended both his arms, like a king welcoming his

concubine.

This was also pretty strange however, because it was usually the male who tried to attract the female’s

attention. Dicken’s behavior was the opposite, it seemed like the roles were reversed.

Dicken! What are you waiting for? Go on!
