Lucy fell into a trance. She hugged herself tightly, but she forgot that she was carrying Buzz in her arms. Buzz felt uncomfortable and barked while struggling to jump off.She snapped back and realized Julian was staring at her, which shocked her. Then Julian started to walk toward her. Her face turned pale because she felt guilty as she knew exactly what Julian was going to ask her.'Wilfred is the one who pushed Nancy! It has nothing to do with me!' she assured herself. All she did was lie to Wilfred that Nancy was the one who was behind Ain's attempted drowning. It had nothing to do with her. Yes, she did not play any part in it at all!The conversation Nancy had with Lucy was not useless. At least, it proved that Wilfred did push her because of Ain. Because of that, she figured out where she could find Wilfred.She called Yaacob and asked him which hospital he sent Ain to. At first, Yaacob told her she did not need to go, but Nancy insisted on visiting Ain. It did not make sen
Ain approached them and showed Yaacob the message she typed in advance. It was a message to tell Yaacob how grateful she was to him for saving her."You're welcome. Rest well in the hospital. Try to stay at the hospital since you have difficulty walking," Yaacob said out of courtesy and not because he truly cared for her.Ain could tell he was trying to keep a distance from her, so she typed out a message.[I'm sorry for troubling you. I'll stay in the hospital from now on.]Nancy just stood quietly without interrupting, but she did not believe that was what Ain would do. How could she make Yaacob think of her if she stayed in the hospital and avoided trouble?Until then, Ain's plan was going smoothly. Nancy could not do anything to her because there was nothing out of the ordinary. No one would think she was the bad person if she kept on being the victim, and Yaacob could not just stand by the side and do nothing about it.That was the most brilliant part about her plan and the
"Hey, Yaacob, can you tell me about your past relationship?" Nancy leaned against Yaacob's shoulder. Suddenly, she had the desire to know about the old him."There's nothing to tell." Yaacob patted her back and tried to put her to sleep."But I want to know," Nancy insisted."Can you promise not to get angry after listening?" Yaacob asked."Yes, I can," Nancy answered."I don't believe that," Yaacob said.The next day, Nancy went to the police station to report on Wilfred. She refused to let Wilfred off the hook for the suffering she had gone through, but Wilfred claimed that he only did it because she made other people bully Ain. Now everyone, including Ain and her classmates, was involved in it too.Nancy was required to cooperate with the investigation. When she arrived, Ain and Wilfred were already there.As soon as Ain saw her, she stood up excitedly, limping toward Nancy, and handed her phone to Nancy to read the message she typed earlier.[Nancy, I'm sorry for causing t
After reading the text message, Anna got a chill. She looked around her. How did that man know she had already reached the hotel? Was he keeping her under surveillance?That was such a horrifying thought!She desperately wanted to go home. Since she could not get Nancy on the phone, she did not know who else to turn to. After hesitating for two minutes, she could not keep from wanting to run in the opposite direction of the hotel. However, as soon as she stepped away, her phone rang again."Hello, Nancy?" Anna answered without looking at the caller ID."No," answered a man. Anna did not recognize his voice.Anna's heart was beating faster, and she held her breath subconsciously. She took a look and realized it was a call from a stranger. Nervously, she was about to reject the call.However, the man on the other side of the line seemed to know what she was thinking and shouted, "If you dare hang up now, I'll make sure everyone close to you knows about that little secret of yours."
The man did not give Anna any time to react as he climbed onto her and pinned her down.Anna started to struggle and said, "Let me go!"The man was not one to show sympathy or compassion. He continued to press both of Anna's hands over her head and tied them with his shirt."Let me go! What are you doing?"Since Anna could not free her hands, she started to twist her body restlessly."You do know whatever you're doing now is not going to help. Stop it and you may suffer less."Sure enough, Anna stopped when she heard that.Like it or not, she knew she was not getting away from what was about to come tonight. There really was not much point in putting up a fight.She could already feel the man quickly removing all her clothes, and she closed her eyes as she gave up all her hopes."Get… get it done and over with!" said Anna."What? You can't wait, huh?" the man mocked her."I just want it over with, then I get to have those photos and go home!""Guess you're too inexperienced
Nancy returned Anna's call. The man answered the call and put it on speaker before placing the phone beside Anna."Hi, it's me, Nancy. You called?" Nancy asked.When Anna heard Nancy's voice, it was as if she heard the voice of someone dearest to her. If she were not tied up and she was being blindfolded, she would have jumped up, reaching for the phone."Nancy… " Anna sobbed incessantly."What's wrong? Is someone threatening you?" Nancy was spot on.Anna nodded and wanted to say yes, but the man suddenly grabbed her waist and pinched her to give her a warning."Ye…" Anna took in a deep breath before saying, "No!" "Then why did you call?" Nancy asked."Nothing really.""Really?" "Yes, I was bored shopping alone so that's why I called you. However, I ran into another friend so we went out together instead," Anna lied."Oh, I see. When you called, I was drinking at the bar, maybe had a few too much. It's good that you're okay and nothing urgent happened."'Something terribl
"Dad, what are you talking about? Why would you not be around? The average life expectancy has gone up with medical advancements. My grandpa was eighty-plus before he passed away, right? You are only sixty now, you still have plenty of time ahead!"Anna was timid by nature, and she felt Wesley was talking funny today."Besides, Xander won't bully me," Anna continued.Wesley exhaled deeply as he looked into Anna's innocent eyes. Then he patted her shoulders after a while and said, "Why don't you go outside and get Xander for me?" Anna got up when she heard this, but she did not head out immediately."Dad, what is it that you want to talk to Xander about that can't be said with me around?" "It's matters concerning the company. You won't get it," Wesley replied."Okay." Anna was more at ease after hearing that."Are you afraid that I'm going to give him a hard time?" teased Wesley.Anna stuck out her tongue, embarrassed, and left the ward to look for Xander.Xander was not out
Xander turned around and picked up a pair of silver heels for Anna. "Try these.""Okay."Anna, who was surprised by that, took the shoes and put them on immediately.The color was indeed a better match for her dress. She walked a few steps, deeply impressed by these gorgeous shoes, and turned to Xander happily. "I love the design and color."Only then did Xander notice that there was some space between the heel of her feet and the back of the shoes, enough to slide in a finger."Your feet sure are small," he said with a frown. He then turned around and ordered the store assistant to get Anna a smaller size.Some men, especially those who seemed unreachable like the gods in heaven, could make someone's day with a simple action.Anna was all over the moon when the store assistant passed her the shoes requested by Xander.Xander walked to the cashier and paid for her shoes without being asked.On the other hand, Nancy was getting more and more confused about their relationship.
