[Aunt Lily never touched my phone or my computer. My throat...] Jenna thought for a moment, then began typing. [She went to Fabell City to see her grandson and returned after two days. A few days after that, I began to feel a constant sting in my throat. All this time, I assumed my vocal cords were damaged by that man strangling me.] [When I went to the hospital for an examination, the doctor told me that the damage done to my vocal cords was not serious and that I would recover in time. Even when I got back to Hevedburgh, my voice still hadn’t returned.] “Aunt Lily must have tampered with your food and damaged your vocal cords that way,” Kevin determined. "It's alright. You’ll never have to eat her cooking again. I’ll take you to the hospital when we get to Yendrow.” Jenna stared at Kevin for a while, which made him self-conscious. He touched his face, “Is there something on my face?" Jenna shook her head. [Thank you, Kevin.] “I just hope what I said wasn’t too harsh
It was the first time Jenna had ever held an object like this. Its weight rested against her hand, and her fingertips were trembling. She quickly composed herself and held it firmly before giving Kevin a nod. She watched as Kevin opened the door and got out of the car. He immediately confronted those men charging at him. His movements were sharp and agile. He swiftly jabbed a punch at one of the men charging at him and knocked him out cold in an instant. A hint of fear appeared in the eyes of the others. However, they soon gritted their teeth and charged at Kevin again... Meanwhile, a few others decided to take advantage of the window while Kevin was being mobbed. They wrapped around to the other side of the taxi so they could get Jenna. As soon as they approached the car, Jenna quickly loaded the gun. She lifted the gun and fired at the car window. The recoil of the gun made her hand throb with pain. Meanwhile, the bullet fired through the glass and hit one of the m
“I'll do it myself.” Kevin got slightly flustered. Jenna eyed him and said in a humorous tone, “You’ve been sharing a room with me for a few days and now you’re getting shy?” Kevin opted against getting two rooms, in case someone broke into the room at night and he could not get into the room in time to protect Jenna. In the end, he could not fend off Jenna and obediently took off his clothes. When they were in the car, Kevin seemed unfazed, mentioning that it was only some minor scratches. Jenna believed him. After he removed his clothes, she saw countless new wounds and aggravated old scars riddled across his lean chest. There were even fresh knife cuts. She took a deep breath and looked at the wounds without blinking. Then, she felt like she was going to tear up. She gently touched the wound with her finger. “Does it hurt?” “They’re just flesh wounds. During my military training, we could even handle having several ribs broken. Those hurt way more than this.”
After drinking several spoonfuls of soup, Kevin’s eyes glowered. “Wow. You’re a great cook, Jen! This has got to be one of the best fish soups I’ve had in my life! “I could eat this for a month if I had to!” “Really?” Jenna cracked a faint smile upon receiving the compliment. “If we’re still here tomorrow, I’ll cook the same thing again. I hope you meant it when you said you won’t get sick of it.” “Sure.” Kevin smiled and made a look. “Why would I get sick of your cooking? If anything, I’d want more.” He had truly meant it. Jenna’s cooking was far better than the food in any restaurant. After lunch, she washed their clothes. Then, the hostess told Jenna she was going to the supermarket and asked if she wanted to tag along. Jenna decided to go with her. While shopping, the hostess asked Jenna if she was in town for work. Jenna could tell the hostess was merely asking out of curiosity and had no malicious intent. So, she answered with something she came up with on th
She was the only person in the study when Old Madam Forester passed. Even if she said she had nothing to do with her death, nobody would believe her. If they did, she would not be wanted by the police across the country. Without warning, she suddenly recognized a familiar figure in one of the shaky but otherwise clear pictures. The man did not avoid the camera like the other Foresters. He kept his head held high and seemed completely indifferent to the presence of the reporters. There was an invisible and intimidating aura around him that made people tremble with fear. Jenna had been relatively calm the last few days. However, the moment she saw him, she felt a throb in her heart as if someone plunged a knife into her… She quickly turned off the phone, her expression haggard. She did not turn on the phone again after that. Instead, she turned on the TV in the living room to find something to watch. The child seemed to grow curious when she saw Jenna and proceeded to g
“Yeah, I heard about it.” Jenna noted with a brief smile and watched as they left. When she turned off the TV and turned to return to the room, she saw Kevin leaning against the door and nearly jumped. “How did you not make a sound when you came out?” “I just did.” Kevin formed a fist and coughed against it before suggesting, "Let's go and have some fun as well.” “Is your body fine?” “It's just a flesh wound. It’s not like I was shot.” Kevin shrugged and seemed quite at ease. “We’ve been staying in hotels and hostels ever since leaving Hevedburgh. It’s getting pretty boring.” Since it seemed like Kevin was desperate to go out, Jenna was not against it. With that, the two headed out together. The light show was an annual tradition of the locals in the area. While they were walking down the street, they could see all the local men and women dressed up in their traditional clothing. They all had bright smiles on their faces, seemingly very happy because of the ligh
The man took advantage of the chaos in the plaza and dragged Jenna through the crowd before shoving her into a car parked by the road. The door was barely shut properly before the car drove off. After Jenna collapsed into the seat, she wanted to pull herself up. However, she was easily overpowered by the man who was a trained professional. As soon as she tried to move, the man who got into the car with her immediately threw himself at her. He promptly strapped her hands behind her with a rope and tied it with a unique knot. He did the same thing to her feet, keeping them strapped tightly. Then, he shoved a cloth into her mouth. “So this is Jenna?" The driver glanced in the rearview mirror and grew suspicious when he looked at Jenna’s appearance. “Don’t get the wrong person, especially since we’ve put so much effort into this.” “There’s no mistaking it, it's her!" The man sitting next to Jenna was confident. He eyed Jenna up and down before telling his accomplice, "
Jenna sneered. "Ivy, you should know better than me how Grandma died. As soon as I entered the study, you came in right behind me. Was that a coincidence?” Ivy's face darkened immediately, she clenched her jaw. They were on the phone and many other parties were listening in on their conversation. The more Jenna rattled on, the more disadvantageous it was to Ivy since there were other people present. She decided to stop bickering with Jenna and ordered severely, “Strip her and take pictures!” "Ivy, are these cheap, disgusting tricks all you know?” Jenna began to wriggle the moment the men touched her body, she cried out, “It was Quinn's grandmother who died! If it’s anyone who should deal with me, it should be Quinn himself since I’m his wife! What makes you think you are in the position to punish me?” After a pause, she said with a scoff, “Do you still think you are his ex-girlfriend? You are only pregnant with his brother's child. Have some decency and mind yourself!
