"Miss Sally, get ready. We are leaving now." Martin looked like a chauffeur.
Sally didn't know much about Martin. But she knew that he was Oliver's friend and was relieved.
She had been too full in the restaurant and it was warm in the car. She leaned on the back seat comfortably. Soon she was sleepy, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Martin looked at Sally, who was sleeping soundly in the back seat, thinking, 'She is so indiscreet. If she is kidnapped, she won't know it.'
Suddenly, he smiled slyly and turned to drive out of the city.
...
Jessica also drove out of the city that night.
She got out of GrandVille Apartments on the night of the first snow. The weather was poor in the early morning. She staggered in the snow and couldn't see a taxi along the road.
When she came out in a hurry, she didn't even bring a spare battery of her phone. Soon, her phone ran out of battery. She had to go to the nearest convenience store to charge it.
She knew that Oliver would find her soon by checking her phone records and the surveillance video of the convenience store, so she bought a new phone card.
When she came out of the convenience store, she didn't know who to call. The people she was currently in contact with knew Oliver. So Oliver would ask someone to pay special attention to them. Maybe she would be found before she arrived.
Oliver once whispered in her ear, "The more you want to escape from me, the more I won't let you go."
It was like a thunderbolt, which made her stop fancying him. They couldn't break up peacefully. She couldn't believe him, who was temperamental. She was afraid that she might be tortured to death before the appointed date.
Jessica walked in the snow. She couldn't move for her stomachache. She walked too fast to leave GrandVille Apartments and rested in the warm convenience store. And she left again. She was unable to hold on due to the change of temperature. She squatted down, covering her stomach and rolling in the snow in pain.
She took out the phone card she had just bought and put it in her cell phone. If she didn't ask for help, she would die in the snow. But she couldn't call an ambulance. Otherwise, her whereabouts would be exposed. She looked at the phone and called James without hesitation when she saw his name.
He answered the call after a long time.
Jessica could hear that he said irritably, "Who's that at this time?"
"Help me, James, help me."
James was just sleepy and was surprised by the familiar voice, "Jessica, what happened?"
"Please help me find a doctor, preferably a gynecologist. I'll explain later."
When James heard how weak she was, he guessed that she was probably sick. He asked, "Where are you now? I'll take you to the hospital first."
"I can't go to the hospital. I just need a doctor to check my body."
Soon, they arrived at a private hospital. The doctors were prepared at the door and Martin stood in front.
The doctors in the back immediately carried the stretcher to carry her out of the car.
It was accidentally Martin's hospital. And he and James were friends. When Martin noticed the person who was sent to the hospital in the very middle night was a woman, he was quite shocked. Her face was covered by the long cony hair hat of the down jacket. He couldn't see her face clearly, but he saw there was blood under the white down jacket.
"James, how did you harm the girl? She looks so miserable." Martin had been a doctor for a long time and had seen many things. At this time, he could still tease James.
"Martin, don't talk nonsense. She's my childhood friend. Treat her quickly. If anything bad happens, I won't let you go."
"Don't worry, I've arranged for the best gynecologist." Martin handed a cigarette to James, "What exactly happened? She lost a lot of blood. Which bastard was so cruel?"
"I don't know either. I just got a call from her to ask me to pick her up. She was lying in the snow with blood all over her body. She has been poor since she was young." James took a deep puff of his cigarette and was unable to continue to speak.
"It's her fate. It's good to be alive. If you go to the hospital often, you will see through everything."
"Don't curse me for going to the hospital." James put out the cigarette in his hand and said nervously, "Would you see her yourself? I don't believe other doctors."
"It's most likely that she would have a miscarriage. What can I do?"
