Howard reached out to grab her ankle. Arya immediately got up. If he caught her again, she would have no chance to escape. There was a river ahead, not deep. Arya jumped down without hesitation.
"You can't run this time."
Then those men also jumped into the river one by one, following her.
Arya used all her strength to walk in the river.
Running ashore, they were still chasing after her.
After she went through the woods and got into a bamboo forest, she saw the lights. 'There must be people living there.'
Walking towards the lights, soon she saw a villa halfway up the mountain.
She ran towards that place, followed by those thugs behind her.
It was obvious that they would not let her go. Sooner or later, she would be caught, so she could only ask for help.
"Anyone here? Help me. Help!"
She pounded the door, but no one opened it.
"Got you. You dare to hit me. Today, I will let you b*tch know how to be obedient."
Those men surrounded Arya. This time, there was almost no chance for her to escape.
That fear and helplessness were the same as when she was framed and imprisoned four years ago.
She trembled.
Just as she thought she should give up, the door of the villa slowly opened.
The man was in a home coat, but his tall figure was still obvious.
His eyes coldly swept over those people, only one look, and no one dared to make a sound.
Finally, his eyes fell on Arya, who was also looking at him. The mottled lights reflected on his face, making it impossible to see his expression clearly. There was only his outline.
'It's him! That rascal!'
"She is my girlfriend. We just had a fight. I'm sorry to disturb you. I'll take her away." As he spoke, Howard was about to go forward and catch Arya.
"Did he tell the truth?" Suddenly, the rascal, Xavier turned to look at Arya.
Arya immediately shook her head and denied, "I don't know them. Could you help me call the police?" Her phone had long gone. Otherwise, she would have called the police by now.
"Come on, you don't even want your boyfriend?"
Howard didn't give up and wanted to catch Arya.
Arya stepped back, towards the villa. Xavier didn't stop her. He glanced at the man who was about to step into his yard and said coldly, "Do you know where this is? How dare you enter?"
After that, she took the towel from the bathroom and wrapped herself in it.
When she came out, she saw the man sitting on the sofa. This was the first time Arya had seen him in such a bright light. He had a sharp and deep outline, handsome features, and his imposing manner showed a mature charm all over his body.
He was looking down at the document. After a long time, he said, without raising his head. "There's medicine on the table. Take it and apply it yourself. You can stay in the first room on the right tonight."
From the beginning to the end, he did not look up at her.
Arya thanked him again but did not get the medical kit. She turned around and went into the room he mentioned.
Such injury was really nothing to her.
She huddled under the blanket and felt so cold that she could not help but shrink back. Her head was in a daze. Unconsciously, she slowly fell asleep.
She had a dream, not a sweet one.
In her dream.
The rain fell to the ground, like playing a sweet song, tugging at her heartstrings.
The baby's cries filled her ears. Then she heard the nurse tell her that the baby died. In her dream, she could no longer hear the baby's cry, instead, it was darkness that surrounded her. The nurse's words echoed in her ears.
The pain and the fear, like a knife cutting her skin, made her unable to breathe.
"No..."
