Tera still closed her eyes and refused to open them. Although the car's speed was high, she slipped back and forth a few times but it didn't affect her.
What just happened was quite horrible for a girl who had always lived a peaceful life like her. She had never encountered such a terrible condition of firing away at each other right on the highway like that.
Furthermore, what did that prove? One thing was clear, normal people didn't have the guts to fire each other at midnight like that. Only the mafia could do that. Then, she realized that Yan Jiang was real, he didn't lie to her, he was the famous mafia boss.
She was still drunk, but she was half awake. Just thinking that just before, she was teasing Young Master Jiang, she easily scarred a lot. She imagined that if she sneaked around him for a few more sentences, she would get a bullet right away.
That was why she didn't dare to open her eyes. Never mind, just pretended to sleep.
But when the car stopped suddenly, she was carried by Yan in his arms and was put down, Tera kept finding it strange. So, it was back to his house? Why was it like being in the middle of the road, the cold wind rushing to her face?
She slightly opened her eyes, only to discover the truth that: She was lying in the middle of nowhere!
Did Yan Jiang intend to leave her in the middle of nowhere?
Seeing him turn his back to prepare to get back in the car, showing signs of leaving, Tera quickly got up, rushed to hug his leg, quickly burst into tears:
“Are you planning to leave me here?”
Yan was held tightly by her and could not move anymore, his eyes in the dark emitted a dangerous light, he replied:
"I thought you were so scared that you fell asleep, didn't you?"
“No, I didn't sleep. But even if I did fall asleep, you wouldn't just throw me in the middle of nowhere, would you? Don't you have any pity on me?"
Yan was sober: "No."
Mother! Yan was very decisive!
She swallowed, and stammered: “I… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pretend. I just a bit panicked before I opened my eyes, please don't leave me in the middle of nowhere like that."
Just a while before, Yan seduced her so much, why did he suddenly become so cruel? It was true that men's hearts couldn't be trusted.
Yan's voice resounded as if from the darkness:
"I'm trying to let you go. Aren't you afraid of the mafia like I am?"
Tera didn't think anymore, quickly shook her head, and said:
"No, I am not afraid. I just want to follow you to your house."
Her voice is very soft, naturally saying "I just want to follow you to your house" as a matter of course. After saying that, she suddenly realized that she had made a mistake. She quickly stood up, from hugging his legs to hugging his arms, her eyes filled with tears:
“You… don't leave me behind. I volunteered to follow you, not because you forced me to follow. So you don't have to say "let you go."
She knew that Yan Jiang was a dangerous person, but if he left her at midnight, she would be the bait for unscrupulous thugs who specialize in deserted places to do depraved things. She reached for her phone in her pocket and sighed. Her phone's battery has been dead for a long time, so if she didn't follow him, in a place where there isn't a mouse running across the street like that place, could she call a car to pick her up with faith and hope? Of course, the answer was "no".
Remembering the terrifying memory of her childhood, she secretly trembled. She was very afraid, very afraid if she was left alone. The obsession that she tried to overcome, she did not want to face again.
Her foster mother's dying body appeared in her mind, her last smile before her departure was the endless pain in Tera's heart. Mom tried to tell Tera:“My dear daughter… I’m sorry… for leaving you alone…”
Tera still remembered, her foster mother died because of being beaten. That year, she was too poor. Because she had to raise a baby girl - Tera, she had to do various manual jobs. Once, while she was doing housecleaning for a wealthy family, she stole a gold bracelet that was on display in the living room. After discovering that the bracelet was stolen by her, the owner sent someone to her house to beat her. Tera was only 10 years old at that time, she could only terrorly watch her mother was beaten and then cried loudly. It wasn't until her mother was bleeding that they stopped and left.
At that time, she was not dead. She was still able to pull her up and hold Tera. Originally, those people did not beat her too hard, just considered it to teach the ignorant janitor. But because her body weakened from being hungry for so long, she didn't last long and collapsed. Before she died, she patted Tera's head and taught one last time:
"Tera, no matter how hungry or miserable you are in the future, you can't steal other people's things like me. This time, it's my fault, so I have to be punished. My dear daughter… I’m sorry… for leaving you alone…”
Then she closed her eyes forever.
Since then, Tera was tried to live alone. She used to try to forget the obsession of her mother's death and the difficult days of living alone. She had to tried hard to get over it, so she didn't want to have to face them again. She just wanted to follow Yan home. She hoped he didn't leave her alone like her mother did.
"Yan, please don't leave me alone!"
