Actually Venus wouldn’t be able to hear anything even if it didn’t rain.
It was very late when the meal was over. Kerry drank lots of wine, and he went to sleep the moment he got back home. And the next day, when he woke up, he began packing the things Venus asked him to bring to her.
He took a few coats, and then he opened a drawer in which Venus kept her panties, and took four of them. He also took a black bra.
“These should be enough. Oh, right, her toiletries.”
He packed all her stuff in a big bag of hers, and when he was dragging the bag out, a piece of paper dropped out. He looked at it, and his face darkened in an instant.
“She wants to go to France as an exchange student? Without letting me know? She will need my permission to do that!” Kerry thought to himself.
His good mood was utterly ruined by this paper. Doctor Han arrived at the villa and put his luggage on the car. He noticed Kerry’ s darkened face, and he asked John: “What’s with him? Why he looks so angry?”
John shook his head and answered: “I have no idea. He looked pretty happy last night when he came back. You should be careful. Don’t talk too much when you are on the way.”
Doctor Han said: “Why would I talk? I’d rather sleep.”
And that was what he did. Doctor Han slept the whole way there.
It had been raining hard all night. There is a pond in front of the hotel, and louts flowers burst into blooms, which glistened in the early-morning dew.
Venus and Kevin took a walk along the pond after breakfast, and then they went to Doctor Hua’s place for treatment.
The treatment process was long and torturing. When Kevin walked out of the room in which the treatment was carried out, his face was ghostly pale, and he couldn’t even walk steadily.
Venus grabbed his arms to support him, and noticed his lips were bleeding. She felt saddened. Her eyes went moist and she said: “You can scream if you are in too much pain. It will ease the pain a little.”
Kevin was too weak. He leaned against Venus for support, but he was still smiling. He said: ‘I’m a man. It is so humiliating to scream and cry like a girl.”
“You are so stubborn.” Venus said.
“Kevin.” A cold voice was heard. They looked up and found it was Kerry standing at the door. The sun was shining brightly behind him so they couldn’t see Kerry’ s face clearly.
Doctor Han knew how badly Kevin’s hand was injured, and he thought there was no way to cure his hand, and that was why he admired Doctor Hua so very much when he said he could cure the hand.
Kerry brought Kevin back to the hotel, and then, he grabbed Venus’s hand and dragged her back to her room.
“Hey, you are hurting me!” Venus protested.
Kerry took that document out and threw it at her. He looked so angry. “What the hell is this supposed to mean?” He asked.
Venus looked at paper and understood why was Kerry so angry. “There is nothing to explain. It just means I am going to be an exchange student. That’s all.”
Kerry pushed her against the wall and glared at her: “You want to go to France?”
“Sure. Every designer wants to go to France.” Venus answered. She knew what she said would only serve to fuel Kerry’ s anger, but she said it anyway.
“You are daydreaming!” Kerry cupped her neck and looked at her murderously. “You are my possession, and you can’t go anywhere without my permission. Besides, where do you think you can get enough money to go to France.”
