Chapter 57 The Struggling Woman
Stella squatted naked in the bathroom, her body curled up like a ball.
The hot water in the shower lasted for more than an hour.
And her tears flowed for more than an hour.
Thinking of Jack touching her neck just now made her feel extremely disgusting and dirty.
Extreme disgust.
Wash, wash over and over again.
There were red marks all over her neck, and she still found it not enough.
She couldn't help but want to rub the skin off her neck.
Once upon a time, she was also the little princess of the Turner family.
Once upon a time, she could dance gracefully and freely in her beloved skirt.
Once upon a time, she thought that when she was around twenty years old, she would reap her love and live happily ever after.
Once upon a time, she thought that life was full of beauty.
But the moment the Turner family collapsed.
All the beauty also collapsed.
The cruel reality shattered all dreams!
She was ripped from her beloved dress, and she was no longer a princess.
No love, no future.
Even, there was no freedom!
Around her were just pairs of wolf-like eyes emitting a coveted fierce light.
And she was just a piece of fat that was being fought over.
The saddest thing was, all in all, she had no power to choose.
She couldn't even choose to die.
Her final spiritual choice was also bound by the mission of her family.
Before her grandfather died, before her father was imprisoned, she nodded like a log and accepted the mission of the family.
A little woman took on everything in her family.
The most ridiculous thing was that the so-called family mission was not something earth-shattering.
Instead, she was asked to protect her younger brother, to pass on the Turner family, and to save roots for the Turner family.
It was ridiculous that she was only a woman and had no qualifications to inherit the Turner family.
The absurd mission was so heavy.
She struggled hard in the Davis family.
It was also because of this that no matter how many mistakes her brother made, she could only choose to forgive.
The end of forgiveness was to bear everything silently.
Even though she knew that her brother would always be a good-for-nothing.
Even though she knew that in many cases, her younger brother was no different from a beast.
She had no choice but to protect him.
Such a mission was too depressing.
And she was too tired.
How many times had she wanted to jump off a tall building and die?
She had also thought about letting go of the hand holding her trousers and letting those beastly men wreak havoc at will.
That way, there would be no worries, right?
But occasionally, she would hear that familiar melody.
And she couldn't help but stand on her tiptoes following the rhythm and hopping a few steps.
That's when she discovered it.
It turned out that the dream she once had was just hidden in her heart.
And it was never broken.
Not knowing how long she stayed in the bathroom, Stella came out in a daze, wrapped in a bathrobe.
It was still daylight when she entered the bathroom.
And now, the whole world was dark.
Only the dim light from the window came in lightly.
"Hey, what a shower! It's been so long!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.
Stella trembled all over and looked up.
In the dark living room, there was a vague person sitting there.
There was only a trace of red light on the cigarette butt, which was particularly clear in the air.
"Gabriel... Gabriel Edwards!"
Stella came back to her senses and hurriedly turned on the light.
When the lights came on, she saw Gabriel sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.
But he looked a little messy.
His clothes were torn and covered in blood, and there was a leaf on the messy hair.
"Are you surprised to see me? It's as if you don't know me!"
Gabriel exhaled smoke, squinted his eyes, and said, "I've been here for an hour and a half, and I've never seen anyone take a bath like this in my life. The amount of water you waste can save a
country in Africa!"
"Aren't you dead? How did you come here?" Stella asked in surprise.
She remembered that Jack told her earlier that Gabriel was dead.
Could it be that what she saw was a ghost?
"Dead?" Gabriel stood up and said angrily, "You expect me to die, right? You are so heartless. If it wasn't for saving your bastard brother today, how would I end up in such a mess?"
"No, no!" Stella waved her hands and said, "It is Jack who said you were dead, and that's why I think... Are you alright? You're covered with wounds. Let me take you to the hospital!"
She walked to Gabriel and gasped as she saw those wounds.
The wounds were wide open with soaked white flesh, looking creepy.
But Gabriel was very calm as if he didn't care at all.
It made her admire him but also guilty.
Gabriel was right. He was like this because he tried to save her brother.
Gabriel's eyes grew cold and cursed, "Fuck it. Don't bring it up. My car blew up and fell into the river. I should be dead, but Joseph Moore was not reassured. He searched for me all over in Silverwood, especially in the hospitals. He had his men everywhere. Once I show up, I will be caught!"
"Now I should be a dead man in Joseph Moore and others' eyes, so I can't go back home either!"
"I don't know where to go, and I choose here!"
"Joseph Moore and Jack Davis have to scoop their brains out before they figure out I am here!"
"By the way, Jack's camera, have you taken it off ?"
In fact, things were naturally not as tragic as he said.
He exploited the story and ran to Stella's place on purpose.
First of all, as long as he disappeared, Silverwood must be chaotic.
The more chaos, the more lively.
And he could hide in the dark to test Thomas's loyalty.
He could also test the ability of the Foster family and carefully observe the moves of the Davis family.
He was sure that as long as he disappeared, the Davis family must be as unscrupulous as the loose hoop.
In this way, he had the opportunity to get something on the Davis and get back at them.
In short, hiding in the dark, one could identify many things that were not clear on the bright side.
Secondly, he could lie down in Stella's gentle arms.
He thought he might be able to stir up some pity inside Stella. After all, all this was for her.
Women's hearts were the most soft, so maybe he would be able to sleep with her.
If it came true, all these scars were worth it.
"The camera was removed early!" Stella was a little upset, looking at Gabriel's injury, she said with guilt, "What to do? You can't go to the hospital, and if the wound is inflamed, it would be really bad!"
The wounds were not shallow but soaked in water, and it was easy to infect inflammation.
She took Gabriel's arm and started walking out, "Don't mind anything else now. You must go to the hospital first to deal with the wound. Other things could wait!"
"Are you worried about me?"
Gabriel grabbed Stella's arm and smiled.
Subsequently, he pulled her into his arms.
He took Stella's waist and whispered, "Walking me out like this? Aren't you afraid of the Davis would see us?"
"Let me go!"
Stella got angry and pushed Gabriel.
She pressed his wound.
Gabriel immediately released Stella and shouted, "Ouch!"
He covered his wound with his hands and looked in great pain.
"Sorry. I didn't mean that. Are... Are you alright?"
Shocked, Stella went up and supported Gabriel.
She helped Gabriel sit on the sofa.
Gabriel gasped and breathed hard, "How could you be so cruel? Do you want me to die in pain?"
"You touched me!"
Stella felt both wronged and guilty. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Gabriel was mad and said, frowning, "I was like this because of you, and what's the harm of letting me hold your waist as compensation?"
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. If you don't go to the hospital, how about these wounds?" Stella did not want to continue the topic just now, just thinking about how to help Gabriel deal with the injury.
She didn't like to be indebted.
She owed Gabriel 1.1 million and so many wounds.
Well, she didn't know how to pay for them.
"Going to the hospital will only jump into the trap! You go to the pharmacy or hospital, buy some disinfection gauze, alcohol, disinfection needle, etc., come back, and I will do it myself!"
Gabriel said, and there was still pain on his face.
In fact, his heart was holding an insidious smile.
This time, he must nail Stella down with these wounds.
Or they would be wasted.
Step by step, like boiling frogs in warm water, he would definitely nail it this time.
After listening to Gabriel's words, Stella hesitated for a while.
Finally, she returned to the room and changed her clothes.
Then she took the bag and went out...
