Vivian was dizzy and felt pain in her arms, and her body was cold coming from the bone.
Nicole stared at the eyes of Vivian and said ruthlessly, “Vivian, Remember! Be obedient, or Ashton and I will not let you go!”
She snorted after that and walk away.
Vivian only felt pain all over the body, including arms, heart and stomach.
She held her arm, holding the edge of the bed, slowly squatted down, closed her eyes enduring pain.
She did not hang up with the phone to Lottie who was listening clearly to Nicole’s words. She was angry but she did not dare to say a word, afraid that Vivian’s phone would be found out.
She could only be angry holding the phone.
She knew that Ashton hated Vivian, but she did not expect he was cruel to this point, indulging a mistress to bully Vivian and even poured boiling water to her!
He was more vicious than a woman, Vivian sooner or later would die by his hand.
The more she thought about it, the more she was worried. Later she secretly made a decision.
She hung up the phone and made a phone call to Brandon…
The scald on the arm became more and more painful, like a cluster of flames on the skin continuously burning. Lingering deep pain let Vivian have a full head of sweat, she had an eagerness to cry.
She went into the bathroom to be bathed in cold water for half an hour, only to ease the pain a little, and her whole arm was horribly red and swollen, with huge, terrifying blisters.
This burn must be treated outside.
Vivian opened the door to the living room. After making sure Nicole had fallen into sleep, she was back to the utility room, took the phone to go pharmacy for medicine alone.
Her mobile phone vibrated at this moment, there was a message that Lottie asked her to meet in the woods.
Vivian looked at the ferocious wound on arms. She did not want Lottie to worry about her and found an excuse to refuse.
But Lottie had a firm attitude. She said she would come to her house if she did not meet her.
Vivian had no choice but agreed. She went back to the room for a long sleeve shirt to cover the wound before going out.
She first went to a nearby private clinic to deal with the burns.
The doctor looked at her injury, said worriedly, “You are seriously hurt, and you should go to a big hospital to deal with it. This is a small clinic, we cannot deal with it.”
Vivian did not dare to go to the big hospital, because she had no certificate.
“Please help me to deal with me it, I will go to the hospital later.” After the medicine was applied, Vivian put on her shirt and was about to leave when she raised her hand to cover her lower abdomen again. She hesitated for a moment and still said to the doctor, “Can I have a pregnancy test?”
Vivian was stunned when she came out from the clinic, standing at the street, with her fingers tightly pressed on her flat belly. She had no idea what she should do.
She was really pregnant…
What should she do about it?
To have it born? That was impossible!
Ashton hated her so much that he certainly would not treat her child well, so the child could not be born.
To abort?
No!
Vivian bit her lip hard. The child was innocent, she cannot just abort it…
But if she wanted to give birth to a child safely, then she could only… leave Ashton…
Looking at the deep dark sky, there was a determination in her eyes.
She took a deep breath. Under the pressure of the confusing thoughts, she raised her feet toward the woods.
Lottie had been waiting for a while. She shouted when she saw Vivian far away, “Vivian!”
Vivian could not help chuckling, quickly walked to her, but she stopped when she suddenly glimpsed a familiar figure.
The man was Brandon.
Brandon took a few steps forward. His face was gentle as usual, with tender feelings, he looked at Vivian gently.
“Vivian…”
Vivian froze, with complicated mood, she asked in a low voice, “Why are you here?”
“I asked him to be here,” Lottie said, “Vivian, did that scum Ashton mistreat you at home?”
Vivian’s eyelash fluttered which was caught by Brandon’s gentle but sharp eyes.
“No…” Vivian’s drooping eyes did not speak ill of Ashton.
“Vivian, don’t speak for him. I just heard on the phone that scum Ashton unexpectedly asked his mistress to pour hot water to you!” Lottie said and tool Vivian’s arm.
With such a touch, Vivian’s face turned pale because of pain, but she endured it silently gritting teeth so that Lottie did not notice it.
Otherwise, according to her temper, she would immediately rush to Ashton to argue with him.
She pretended to be missing Lottie’s hand, sat down on the chair. After taking a deep breath, she looked at Brandon calmly, “It is good to have you here. I want to leave Ashton, the sooner the better. So… I hope you can help me.”
Brandon’s expression was downy. Dropping his eyes to look at the eyes of Vivian, he said, “Vivian, I certainly will try my best to help you.”
Vivian was touched, she said to Brandon with a gentle smile, “Thank you.”
Brandon hook lips, smiled like the neighbor big brother, raised his hand gently to touch Vivian’s hair, “Vivian, I have said before, no matter what trouble you have, as long as you ask me for help, I will help you. It’s a promise that will last a lifetime.”.
Vivian was touched and guilty. She knew Brandon was good to her, but she had nothing to pay him back.
With Brandon, all the problems could be easily solved. He promised to find out the whereabouts of her brother in three days, and move him away. When the time comes, he would personally pick up Vivian to leave the villa.
She would leave Ashton completely after three days.
Vivian unconsciously raised her hand to touch her abdomen. She felt unspeakable pain instead of joy of freedom.
Brandon stared at Vivian with his deep eyes, he suddenly asked, “Vivian, can I talk with you alone?”
Vivian was stunned and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
She knew Brandon liked her. But that they talked alone was too ambiguous.
But As if on purpose, Lottie got up and said, “You guys talk. I’m leaving now. It’s getting late and I need to go back and get my beauty sleep.”
They were suddenly only the two in the woods.
Vivian was nervous and alert, trying to face Brandon with plain look. She calmly asked, “What do you want to talk to me?”
“Did your arm burned?” Brandon was right about the fact.
Vivian unnaturally moved her arm and said in a low voice, “It is just a small injury…”
Brandon darken his eyes, gently sighed a breath, suddenly stepped close, and picked up Vivian with no warning.
