Annie’s face was in gloomy, she pursed her lips after hearing the old lady’s words, and her hand gripped on the steering wheel hard, as if it wasn’t the steering wheel that she was holding in her hand, but rather Abigail, who was sitting behind her.
“Granny, you haven’t eaten breakfast yet.” Abigail was concerned about the old lady’s health and always felt that Annie was a little too eager.
“What nonsense, there are restaurants all over the street, are you still afraid that there’s no food?” Annie rudely interrupted Abigail and sped up the car.
As the buildings became sparse and the road became rocky, Annie drove onto a zigzag path.
There was a sudden braking and Abigail and the old lady were almost thrown up.
“Granny is everything okay.” Abigail was checking on the old lady’s body. She was relieved to know that the old lady was safe and sound. Abigail looked at the unfamiliar scenery outside, there wasn’t any temple that existed here.
“Miss Spencer, how far is it?” The area was sparsely populated, and everywhere was a barren wilderness. It was bringing a gloomy and miserable feeling.
“Can’t you see it? The car broke down!” Annie didn’t respond in kind, and her mood not affected by the car’s breakdown.
“Go! Go to the front and see if you can help, I’ll go to the back!” She ordered.
Abigail looked at the old lady and said, “But granny…”
“Just a minute, it won’t hurt, so hurry up! After the auspicious time, grandma won’t be able to draw a good one!” Annie interrupted her brusquely.
“That’s… okay.” Even if she wasn’t worried, she had to walk forward. “Granny, I’ll be right back.” After that, Abigail ran forward and had a check.
Annie grunted a few times and took a step towards the back of the car. Annie was dialing the phone fifty meters away from the car, “The woman has been brought, the rest of the matter is yours.”
She didn’t go looking for someone but went straight back to the car after hanging up the phone. “Grandma, the temple is in the wrong direction, I was just told it’s that way. So, let’s go first otherwise auspicious time will over.”
“Abigail… Abigail.” The old lady shook her head and looked at Abigail who was far away, Abigail could no longer hear the old lady’s call.
The car reversed and the old lady got into her position. With a nice spin, the car turned gracefully, and Annie hit the gas pedal, the car moving fast.
“Someone will be here to pick her up soon, the auspicious time will be reach soon, let’s go.”
Abigail ran far away, she was sweating, but didn’t even find half a person. She was worried about the old lady, so she turned around and walked back, but all she saw was a car rushing away.
“Granny, Miss Spencer!” She kept waving and calling out, but the car had already disappeared around a corner.
As far as she could see, there were no people in the middle of nowhere, not even a car. Abigail looked around, the grass was overgrown, it was impossible to find anyone.
Why was Annie in such a hurry to drive the car away? Didn’t her car break down? It’s fixed so soon. A series of questions floated in her mind until a couple of gangsters showed up.
“This is the woman, there’s no mistaking it.” The man of the group dewy gaze falling on Abigail’s skin. He spat a mouthful of saliva and rubbed it in his hands, stepping out of the crowd and walking towards her.
“Who… are you guys?” Abigail retreated backwards in fear, but to the way behind her was already blocked by two men, and she was quickly subdued.
The man wiped his saliva, his Adam’s apple rolling incessantly, and his lustful eyes stared at her and said, “You definitely won’t get a chance to know who we are.”
Reaching out to touch Abigail’s face, he chuckled in satisfaction. Abigail turned her face away in disgust, but she eventually pulled back by the man.
The man’s eyes were nasty and smug while holding her chin.
“Someone wants you dead, unfortunately…” In between the words, the other hand slid down her tender neck. Abigail tried to escape away, but her hands were controlled by two men, and her chin was held tightly by him again.
“What are you guys doing!” She asked in a trembling voice, her small eyes full of fear and despair. Could it be Annie meant it?
“We’ve been ordered to take your life.” The man-made no secret of the purpose of the trip, and with a cold flash of light, the sharp knife was placed around her neck.
“I… didn’t offend you.” No matter how Abigail thought about it, she couldn’t think that she had offended such a character. She was always gentle and kind and got along well with the people around her.
The knife slipped through her face several times, and the man said regretfully, “What a pity, it’s a beauty, but it’s okay. I’ll make you feel good before you die. Pull her in!”
The man was pointing to the wilderness, the man behind her directly racked her and retreated deeper into the grass. Abigail’s body was controlled, she was unable to resist at all, and she could only struggle as they dragged her into the grasses.
“Help!”
Abigail cried and asked for help, even she loss of hope.
“You guys go outside and guard, I’ll go first.” With a command, the drooling men were detached, and the man rubbed his hands and stepped forward.
Abigail didn’t have time to think, she turned around and ran, but she fell to the ground.
“No!” She caressed her abdomen, trying to protect the fetus in her belly as much as possible.
“Hey, stay with our brother for a while, then send you on your way.” The man laughed nonstop.
Infinite humiliation filled her body, she didn’t expect to get this result, the tears were rolling down her cheeks. She was deeply upset with the fetus in her belly.
“I’m sorry… baby… I’m sorry…”
With a strange sound, the hand holding on Abigail’s foot loosened.
Abigail shrank back, sat up, and held herself tightly.
It turned out that someone had come. Someone had stepped on the creepy man who had almost raped her and ruthlessly inflicted damage on his body, and she could hear it! The sound of bones cracking.
“Someone, help!” The man on the ground shouted and the response he gets from the person is a sneer.
“Don’t think about your brothers, they’ve all been killed by me!” The man’s said with relaxing, without the seriousness that should be expected in that situation, it was as casual as a walk after dinner.
What a familiar voice. Abigail swore that she had heard this voice before.
Abigail was raising her head, what she saw were those peach blossom phoenix eyes and that harmless smile on his face…
Winston Clinton!
“You…” she just murmured, and the man on the ground shouted another horrible scream and passing out as a dead pig.
“Let’s go.” Winston took off his clothes and draped them over her body, covering her scenery that was exposed due to her tattered clothes.
Abigail was clinging tightly to Winston; she hasn’t wake up from the shock just now. After crossing over a few limp bodies, she only realized that all the bad guys were beaten down.
“Are they… dead?” She asked with her trembling voice. Because of unsteady so she was falling into Winston’s arms.
Winston did not refuse but generously holding her back. “You’re injured, don’t move.” Seemingly he was kicking those bodies unintentionally, his eyes were filled with killing intent.
“Anyone who hurts you has to die! They’re the same.” His gaze became so sharp for the first time, and Abigail read a similar coldness and ruthlessness as Joshua. She struggled in fear and wanted to leave.
“Don’t move.” Winston’s gaze fell on her frightened face, and he was spreading a gentle smile that was enough to dissolve the high mountain ice.
What kind of a man is he? The apparent harmlessness and the ruthlessness she saw. It brings her two completely different feelings.
“Last night, I dreamed of a fairy was descending from the heavens, but I never thought I could pick up a fallen angel today, so it looks like my mother’s wish for me to get married soon is about to come true.” Even in a situation like this, he could manage to joke with Abigail.
There was a white sports car parked on the road, covered in yellow mud, the opulence of the sports car contrasting with the mud of the road, it was the same as Winston, a sudden intruder who was out of place here.
Winston put her in the passenger seat, carefully strapped her seat belt, then a slalom, he was driving away as fast as possible.
Abigail thought he would take her home; she was surprised that they came to his private residence.
It was a simple house, the white decor makes the entire room look clean and fresh. The floor-to-ceiling windows can enjoy the most beautiful scenery in the city. It was a mansion located in the city center.
Abigail was held by him and went upstairs.
“Let me… come down.” Abigail felt it was too embarrassing to be hugged like this. When he just walked by, many young boys and girls shouted, probably charmed by his outstanding appearance. The older ones just looked at them with weird stares.
If her ankle hadn’t been strained, she would have insisted on not letting him hug her.
Without giving her a hard time, Winston simply placed her on the couch and turned to pour two glasses of water. One cup was handed to her hand, and one cup was held in his palm.
“What? Does your foot still hurt?” He asked.
Abigail shook her head and her face still blush. It hurt a little, but it was still bearable, he was still a stranger to her, and she was never used to revealing her feelings to strangers.
Winston had placed her ankle in his palm.
“You…” this kind of posture was quite ambiguous, Abigail wanted to pull back, but failed.
Winston took out a bottle of medicine and poured some on her ankle, he was rubbing it rhythmically, and soon, a cool sensation came from the injury, and the pain gradually diminished.
“Thanks.” Abigail was drawing back her foot as he relaxed his grip.
Winston was looking at her full of love.
“Had sex with Joshua?” He asked directly. Abigail choked on his sudden straightforward question and coughed continuously.
“This… is my matter.” Only after a long time, she responded unhappily.
Winston had nodded and winked then he said, “It doesn’t matter, the women I like is enough as long as they’re pure inside.”
“You… “Abigail regretted not insisting that he send her home at that time. His peach blossom eyes were serious, but the words, they couldn’t be serious.
Unruly personality, outstanding looks, and of course, should have an extraordinary family background, how could such a man lack of girl?
Why would he say that? Was it because of Joshua?
Abigail turned her head and looked at the beautiful scenery through the floor-to-ceiling window. The below was a garden, there were an of lots of trees, the sun was shining, and it was reflecting a refreshing green light.
With the air conditioning in the room, it brought the beauty of a fictitious land of peace.
If the man in front of her hadn’t intentionally or unintentionally stirred her heart, she would have loved this place.
“Why did you go there?” It was only after the shock passed that she remembered Winston’s sudden appearance.
Winston stared at her, his handsome face was filled with smile, and his appearance couldn’t match to the man who was cold-blooded, ruthless and agile when he just saved her.
