Hour Chase

Sit down.

There was no rubbish in the trash can at the foot, not even a trash bag.

Did you just go out to throw out the trash?

Feeling bored, Ellie took a good look at everything in Karen's house.

In addition to the kitchen, toilet, bedroom, and study, there is another room where the door is closed.

The living room is connected to the balcony, which is very conducive to lighting.

"I don't know what you want to drink, black tea is okay?"

Karen returned to the living room with two cups of black tea, and put one of the cups in front of Ellie.

"I also forgot when I bought this. But you don't have to worry. Even if it expires, you won't be taken to the hospital."

Karen drank alone, ignoring Ellie's helpless expression.

But it seems that the color of this cup of tea is not bad.At least not giving off weird colors.

Ellie picked up the glass and took a sip casually.The taste is average, and there seems to be no problem.

"So."

Karen spoke, setting the glass aside.

Hearing the sound, Ellie turned her head to Karen, and the two looked at each other.

However, more and more obvious drowsiness crawled into Ellie's brain, and even her vision became blurred.

Drowsy, the whole person passed out on the sofa.

☆ ★ ☆

The scene in front of me is completely incomprehensible.

dark room...

Ellie came back to her senses and widened her eyes desperately, in order to confirm where she was.

Remember when it was...

"Oops! Damn..."

That cup of tea!She was drugged...

He was given sleeping pills by his friend.

Sure enough, I let my guard down too much towards Karen, and I didn't expect her to attack me at all.

The left hand propped her body up on the ground, but because the medicine was still in her body, her right hand couldn't use it, so Ellie had to stand up slowly with her back against the wall.

Perhaps because it was too closed, the musty smell in the room made Ellie frown.

Suddenly, an unexpected thing broke into sight.

"This... this is!"

Despite being in a dimly lit room, the red color completely out of proportion to the surrounding atmosphere stimulated the nerves of the eyeballs.

On the floor, the circular pattern recorded in the book unexpectedly appeared.

Ellie squatted down slowly, gently touching the marks on the floor with her fingertips.

The circular diagram is very complicated, and in the most conspicuous position among them is a clock pattern marked with Roman numerals.

The surface of the floor is covered with fine dust, and even the paint that draws the pattern is inevitably stained with dust.

It seems that this thing has been around for a long time, and even the color has become uneven.

Ellie observed carefully, and even touched the floor with the tip of her nose.

"It doesn't look like paint."

Compared with the pungent paint, the almost dark red trace is more like...

Blood stains.

Looking at the entire room, apart from the weird pattern on the ground, there are still a few violins in the empty room.

Three violins are neatly arranged in a locked glass cabinet on one side of the room.Although she doesn't remember whether Karen can play the violin, Ellie has no idea that Karen's home will have these things in her collection.

Unfortunately, Karen does not seem to maintain them very well.Not only that, but one of the violins is a little special.It was a violin with an old appearance and no strings.

Suddenly, the sound of turning the key came.

"... "

"It took you so long to wake up?"

Seeing Ellie standing in front of the glass cabinet, Karen thought of something, and her expression was a little unnatural.

Holding the book in her hand, she stepped on the red mark on the ground and came to Ellie.

"Are you even aware of what you're standing here for? This,"

Karen turned the book to the page with the circle drawn on it, and unfolded it in front of Ellie.

"And the one on the floor, that's what you drew. Don't you even know what it does?"

"What does this have to do with me! This ghost book is all your masterpiece!"

Unfortunately, Ellie's excited appearance made Karen feel even more ridiculous.

So funny.

☆ ★ ☆

"That's it... that's all right? Karen..."

Blood drips continuously from the wound on the neck.Looking at the summoning circle that she drew little by little with blood, Ellie panted and squatted on the side.

Karen smiled secretly as she witnessed all this.

"Ah, at this point, most of the work has been completed. The remaining step..."

"I see... Ha, give me the book."

"Using the array as the foundation, the blood as the contract, and the mind as the guide, summon my name"

"One pair of eyes gazes at the past, one pair of eyes gazes at the present, and one pair of eyes gazes at the future. Lord of Hell, I pray for your coming through the medium of soul and spirit."

"...!"

The moment Ellie finished reciting the spell, a black mist-like shape slowly emerged in the center of the circle.

The black mist seems to change regularly.Gradually, it became a humanoid.

"...Did it work?!"

"what…"

Facing the things beyond her common sense, Ellie couldn't help feeling terrified from the bottom of her heart.

That obviously unknown figure...

I saw the black mist slowly drifting towards my eyes, as if the black mist on my head was moving slowly.

"What you wish, will be fulfilled."

"Who! Who's talking!"

"What's wrong with you Ellie?"

Ellie looked vigilantly at the strange black mist in front of her, too scared to look back.

Could it be that I heard wrong?Impossible, that strange grammar doesn't sound like my hallucination.

Could it be...!

"Anything you wish, everything else you ask for."

Here we go again, this time it's not an illusion.That was the sound that came from the ear.

Can't go wrong.The demon summoned by this magic beast recorded in that book is here.

He didn't hesitate to cut his neck and let out blood, but he gave up cutting his right hand just to complete the drawing of the circle.

Made up my mind and did it all.

Just for now!

Ellie glanced at Karen quietly, seeing her confused look, Ellie concluded that it was a voice that only she could hear.

Slowly, close your eyes.

In this case...

"Please grant my wish..."

Ellie slowly expressed the wish that could not be realized in her heart.Immediately afterwards, the ominous voice sounded again.

"Yun. Why did you try—?"

"I've lived twenty years, and I want to... use the memories of those years as a price..."

As an outsider, Karen watched as Ellie opened her eyes and returned to her usual look.

And the black mist slowly dissipated and gradually disappeared.

"How...? Did you see, or hear anything?"

Ellie didn't speak, just smiled slightly, and wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes with her palm.

A few seconds later, along with the black light radiating from his body, he disappeared.

The empty room smelled of blood.

Karen picked up the book on the floor and laughed ironically.

What Ellie didn't know was that just a few hours after she left, Karen completed the series of things she had just done by herself...

☆ ★ ☆

"It seems that the effect of the sleeping pills has not passed. Do you not understand what I just told you?"

After a pause, Karen continued.

"After you successfully summoned for the first time, you disappeared. However, I am different. I stayed."

Ignoring Ellie's suspicious eyes, Karen spoke alone.

"From the beginning to the end, you just want to go back to before the accident, to save Caroline, right. Again and again... I guess this is the only chance, right? You have nothing to entertain the devil gone."

"I'm different from you. I, use my own life as the price. Only once. If I fail, I won't survive."

"You actually..."

"Of course, I'm not like you."

Karen held up a hand, pointing her index finger at her head.

"The opportunity you prayed for, in the end, was destroyed by me..."

Karen looked directly into Ellie's eyes and put a hand on Ellie's neck.

"It's your fault. That time, you tampered with Neil's car and caused their car to break down. If it wasn't for you, no one would have died!"

Gradually exerting strength in her hands, Ellie frowned from the discomfort coming from her throat.

"I just want to save Neil's life. But, that woman must die by my hands."

"It's her...without her, Neil wouldn't..."

"let me go…!"

Ellie grabbed her wrists with both hands and pushed them away.There was only a sound, and the sound of glass breaking rang in my ears.

Ellie's elbow shattered the glass due to too much force.There was naturally a lot of blood on the fallen glass shards.

"I should have known you would be bad for Caroline! No matter how crazy your plan is, I won't let you go on like this!"

"Hmph, what do you use to stop me, poor bastard."

Just as Ellie was in pain, Karen took out a ball of white silk thread from her pocket.

"Ugh! You..."

Karen wrapped the silk thread around her hands, and when Ellie wasn't looking, she jumped at her and cornered her.

"It feels good to be cut on the neck by this, the strings I gave you! Hehe!"

It was the strings from one of the three violins left by his father.

Although the string is not a murder weapon, if it accidentally cuts your finger, its power is no less than the sharpness of the blade.

That time, Karen removed the strings and was used by Ellie as a tool.

Now, the strings that were stained with Ellie's blood at the beginning are now left with a light pink color that is different from pure white.

Being restrained by hands and feet, I can't use all my strength.

The strings slowly penetrated Ellie's skin.The strings that can play a beautiful melody can also be used as a murder weapon one day.

No, let's go on like this...

In Karen's face, in those eyes with the dangerous gaze that only a murderer can have, reflected his own appearance, how weak he was.

Unexpectedly, Karen's strength was so great that she was completely at a disadvantage.

The throat is oppressed, and the oxygen that can be absorbed is getting less and less.Originally in the sealed space, Ellie's consciousness gradually became blurred.

Could it be... Today, I am going to die here...

Sure enough, Karen couldn't help laughing as she watched Ellie's body slowly sliding down.

I am not afraid of Caroline.However, only her good friend is the only obstacle that hinders her plan.

Removing Ellie was part of the plan.Yes, it was planned from the beginning.

Seeing that Ellie was unconscious, Karen pushed harder and wrapped the strings around Ellie's neck.

However, only a few seconds later.

"Oh! It hurts! Ha..."

Karen suddenly let go of her hands and covered her heart with one hand, moaning in pain.

"How...! How is it possible!... Uh...!"

The severe pain from the heart made Karen unable to kill Ellie anymore.However, this pain...

Suddenly, in Karen's line of sight, something that was absolutely impossible to appear today appeared.

That cloud of black mist.

"Impossible!...Impossible...!"

Ellie, who regained her freedom, slowly regained consciousness.But the way her friend was lying beside her in pain shocked Ellie once again.

She saw the same things Karen saw.

☆ ★ ☆

Beep!Beep!

The mobile phone that he carried with him was constantly vibrating, making a sound when it touched the key.

Just a few minutes before, the doctor had told himself that Karen had died.

That's when...

When the black demon appeared in front of him for the second time, his arrival seemed to indicate that a certain result in the future had arrived.

Watching Karen moan...until she couldn't breathe.

In just a few seconds, with the disappearance of the black demon, her life also came to an end.

An ambulance arrived shortly after.However, even if he was sent to the hospital, it was too late.

There was no way she would be saved.

With a cold body, Karen was lying on the hospital bed alone.

Karen, who still had the strength to kill her just now, now...

The teardrops in the eyes dripped on the sheets, and the vision was blurred in a mess.

Now, just look at Karen one more time, and those angry eyes will come back to me.

She still failed in the end.

Neil must also... Maybe it was because of Neil that she would pay the price with her life.

"This is the contract between the devil and you...too stupid!"

A contract at the price of life.Once it fails, it will be beyond redemption.

That thing called love hurts so much...

Perhaps, I am not qualified to say that Karen is a fool.Because, I was as stupid as her.

The next time I saw Karen again, I would be facing a cold tombstone with Karen's name engraved on it.

That was the end she ushered in.

No longer troubled by love and hate, no longer blinded by anger, and return to the embrace of God.

After saying goodbye to Karen, Ellie gently left the ward.

Outside the ward, because it was night, everything seemed extremely quiet.

The LCD screen in the corridor of the hospital was still playing the late-night news, but unfortunately, there were no viewers now.

After leaving Karen's house, he realized that he had been unconscious for several hours.

On the ambulance, Karen's last painful and unwilling eyes... Allie doesn't want to think about it.

everything is over.

The phone vibrated again.Ellie hurriedly took it out of her pocket, saw that it was David calling, and immediately pressed the answer button.

"Haven't slept yet? How are you? How are you doing these days? Did you find anything interesting?"

Although happy to be alive to hear David's voice, however, there is no joy in the mood now.

"I'm going to be back tomorrow. Well... tomorrow."

"Alright. You've been out alone for so long, I'm too worried to concentrate on work. Do you need me to ask Tom to pick you up?"

"No! I can go home safely alone!"

Of course, you can't let Tom come to pick you up, otherwise... If Tom knows that you have come back long ago, wouldn't it be showing off!

He still thought that Ellie would accept his suggestion happily, but he didn't expect to be rejected so much, David could only sigh secretly.

The child I raised for 20 years has finally grown up.

"Then you must be careful, don't forget the way back, you know? Ellie, Ellie?"

Only hearing the beeping sound, the other party has hung up the phone.However, in the first few seconds before hanging up, David seemed to hear some strange sounds.

Outside the hospital, several police cars came in droves.Ellie heard the sound from a distance, ignored David's instructions, quietly hung up the phone, and went to check.

Although they were far apart, it was rare to see such a sensational scene. Even the other patients who were originally staying in the ward also came out to watch the fun.

I don't know the background of the patient who was sent to the hospital. Even the police came with him, as if his identity was unusual.

Unfortunately, after they entered the operating room, everything returned to a state of silence.

☆ ★ ☆

November [-]

All the media in London rushed to report the same sensational news on the same day and at the same time.

However, for the parties involved, after experiencing the shock of that night, no matter how the event was described exaggerated by the media, it has become a thing of the past.

The death of Neil Adams became one of the important triggers for the destruction of the Adams family.

The stocks of its subsidiaries plummeted, high-level personnel were arrested, and even companies that had cooperated with them were inevitably affected.

Among them, the Grona factory, which is the largest underground source of funds, which manufactures firearms, was also controlled by the police due to the death of the heir.

Judging by the results, the results of last night's raid were enormous.Of course, at the report meeting of the police station, Simon's report naturally became a reflection of the London police's ability to handle cases.

Since coming back from the hospital last night, Caroline locked herself in her room without seeing anyone.

The last gunshot still echoed in his ears, and what appeared in front of his eyes was the bloody smile on Neil's face when he finally fell down.

My own hands, those hands that were held tightly by Neil...

Neil committed suicide and was also killed.I was shot deadly by myself pressing the trigger...

The moment the bullet pierced his head, what kind of mood did Neil have...

Even if it was just for a moment, when he fell down facing himself, the smile still remained on his face and never faded.

So he would choose to commit suicide?That's ridiculous.

Caroline never wanted to admit it like this. For Neil, letting him commit suicide was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation to him.

he...

He must be hating himself.He wanted to use this way to make himself bear this indelible nightmare for the rest of his life.

Too cunning.

Caroline couldn't help smiling wryly.Perhaps it was after seeing the smile Neil left for him that he truly felt the pain of Neil being betrayed by his lover.

Finally, the matter with him has come to an end.The most important thing now is not to let Neil's death become a shadow that occupies his heart.

Shaking her head, Caroline took out her phone from her bag on the table.

Speaking of which, I haven't been in good contact with Mary these days, and I don't know if Ellie has caused her trouble.

Thinking of this, Caroline looked for Ellie's number on the contact list.

After dialing out the number, it takes only a few seconds for the other party to pick up the phone.

"Ellie, good morning..."

"You too, Caroline..."

Ellie's voice was a little hoarse, but it was not very obvious in the noisy environment.

The phone call came suddenly, and Ellie, who was taking the subway to go back to Karen's apartment, was not happy because it was Caroline, but unexpectedly sad.

Even hearing a short greeting from Caroline, the sadness of losing a friend cannot be erased in a short time.

"Well... By the way, things in London are almost done. I think, can I go back to accompany you now?"

"No. I'm back and I'm on the subway now."

"Is that so... Then, shall I pick you up?"

"I..." Ellie lowered her head silently, "Can you wait for me somewhere?"

Caroline was a little strange, but she agreed immediately without thinking too much about it.

Ten minutes later, Caroline drove to the address Ellie told her.

It was in front of an apartment.Judging by her eyes, the location here is not bad.If you invest in property here, you may have a pretty good return.

It's just, what is her purpose for letting herself here.

While guessing, Caroline saw Ellie's figure from a distance.

It was the familiar blue sports car again.Ellie quickly ran in the direction of the sports car.Sure enough, Caroline was waiting for her.

Caroline got out of the car with an unconcealable smile on her face.Seeing Ellie's panting appearance, she couldn't help laughing softly.

However, Ellie didn't say anything, and pulled herself into the elevator with a sullen face.

The hand I was holding was weak, but I didn't even intend to let go.Until she was pulled to a door.

She took the key out of her pocket, opened the door and entered.

"here is?"

Caroline couldn't bear the doubt in her heart, and asked.

She didn't know whose home it belonged to.However, Ellie has the key. Could this be her home?

"This is Karen's home. I took this key when I was sorting her belongings. She will never come back."

To be honest, Caroline didn't quite understand the meaning of Ellie's words.

Furthermore, this is also regarded as trespassing on a famous house, and such behavior is indeed not correct.

Ellie came to the door of that room alone.There, the red circle is still there.

"Ellie..."

Following Ellie's figure, Caroline came to that room together.

A dark room with broken glass scattered all over the place.There is also an unbearable strange smell that fills the whole room. No matter how you look at it, something must have happened here.

However, something that suddenly appeared in the line of sight completely overwhelmed Caroline.

"This…!"

Seeing that she had already stepped on one foot, Caroline hurried out of the room in fear, not knowing how to resolve the fear in her heart.

Perhaps no matter who saw that strange totem, they would be afraid of it.

However, Ellie was not afraid at all.Not only that, but she picked up a book that was lying safely on the broken glass, and opened it.

With a hiss, she ruthlessly tore off the pages of the book.

Caroline didn't dare to hinder Ellie, so she had to watch her behavior outside the room.

"You've killed both of us...!"

Ellie tore off every page, regardless of the tears in her eyes dripping on the back of her hand.

Maybe it was Karen's familiar handwriting that reminded me of her again. Seeing things and thinking about others, Ellie suddenly cried.

It wasn't until all the pages were torn off that Ellie squatted on the ground weakly, wiped away her tears, and slowly picked up the pages on the ground.

Ellie came to the kitchen with all the papers and pulled out the brand new aluminum sink from the cupboard.

He took the lighter out of his pocket and set the paper on fire.Black ashes fell into the basin one by one.

"Just burn it. It won't show up..."

Ellie was talking to herself, but the movements in her hands never stopped.

Those words crossed out by Karen don't matter anymore...

Myself, I remembered everything.

The contract with the devil has been declared successful, at the moment Karen fell.

Caroline survived, but Neil died.Karen also paid the price with her life.

Now, it's all over.

Life and death, everything follows one's own choice, and it is useless to regret.

Caroline silently watched Ellie's movements, feeling sorry for Ellie but not knowing how to comfort her.However, she knew in her heart that what she was doing now was not as simple as it seemed.

The white pages of the book turned into black ashes, and the deceptive demonic thing was finally destroyed by himself.

From now on, no one will know the existence of this book, and no one will be harmed by it.

After destroying all the pages, Ellie found all the cleaning agents from the kitchen and brought them to the room.

The red circle on the floor has faded due to the passage of time.Therefore, even if it needs to be cleaned, it is not cumbersome.

The rag touched the blood on the ground, wipe it hard, and the blood gradually disappeared.

Ellie couldn't help showing a wry smile.

After all, this is also the blood shed from his own body.At that time, it was a miracle that I bled so much but survived.

After completing the last step, the sweat on his forehead has already wet his cheeks.

Ellie sat on the ground, sighing softly.

"You've also seen...what I did just now was actually caused by me."

Ellie smiled wryly and said slowly.

"Because of my irrationality, I caused you to have a car accident. Of course, it is impossible for you to predict this. But, in fact, this car accident will happen today..."

While speaking, Ellie quietly wiped away the tears on her face.

"I...I want you to be alive, so...I did some things that can't be seen. But my goal has been achieved, isn't it. As long as you live, I will not regret doing those things, this is my own choose."

The life after waking up from that moment is the deadline to complete the contract.From that point on, nascent memories start to take over the dominance of the brain.

And the fragmented part of the memory left in the corner of memory is only about the closest relatives and friends around me.

Why do I not remember anything after waking up;

What did I do before this;

Now, what am I going to do.

All the questions that kept popping up at that time were solved in this way.

Ridiculous!

He did something irreparably stupid because he believed Karen's words.Under her deliberate guidance, he almost died by her hands.

She directs the play where the protagonist is her own, watching everything happen alone.

Then put on the appearance of a good friend, accompany me when I am in the most pain, play with myself, and finally get rid of myself.

How ironic...!

However, he couldn't even have any reason to hate her.

If it weren't for Karen, if she didn't come forward to bail me out, it would be impossible for me to be here now.

Instead, stay in prison and slowly live out your life...

From the beginning of this scene, her plan included herself.

It's ridiculous that I only think about it now that I'm so stupid...

Looking closely at Ellie, although she couldn't fully understand her words, she must have gone through pain that she couldn't bear.

Caroline walked towards Ellie silently, and sat down next to Ellie regardless of the remaining water stains on the ground.

"I'm sorry, Ellie. Actually, I, I also hid a lot of things from you."

Caroline didn't know how to confess.Even she, after facing the death of her former fiancé, still couldn't let go of her heart.

"You probably don't know. Just yesterday, Neal... committed suicide."

"I know."

Ellie's answer surprised Caroline a little.When looking at Ellie with both eyes, the other party didn't seem to feel a little bit of curiosity because of the news.

"Did you read today's news?"

"No. Last night, when Karen died, I knew."

After a pause, Ellie lowered her head and clenched her fists.

"That's what I want to tell you. Karen's death, for some reason, tied her own life to Neil's. Once Neil's life is threatened... such as death, Kay Len will die with him."

"There is such a thing..."

Perhaps Ellie's remarks were too impactful, and Caroline couldn't imagine such a bizarre way of death.

"As for the reason." Allie said, "The book just now is one of the reasons. There is also the floor we are sitting on now, and the red circle just now, those are all necessary conditions."

Saying that, Allie sighed.

"Maybe you won't believe it. Even that seemingly ordinary book can summon ghostly things."

"if…"

"Ok?"

"If Neil didn't die, then Karen would be fine. But if you die, then I will become a living dead. How? Isn't it amazing?"

At this point, Ellie couldn't help laughing.

That is inevitable.Once the contract with the devil fails, retribution will naturally come to him.

Compared with life, a walking corpse without memory, whose origin and whereabouts are unknown, is a worse thing than death.

"Why? What the hell are you talking about! Why did you become a living dead because of my death? What did you do without telling me? God,,,"

"You don't have to believe me, but... I will never lie to you."

"I borrowed a chance from the devil and used my ten years of memory as the price. Let me go back to ten days before you and Neil had a car accident. However... I failed because of Karen's obstruction. This is the second time Chance, that is, trading that remaining decade of memory for a second chance."

After a pause, Ellie smiled slightly.

"It's worth the price to keep you alive. At least, I succeeded this time. I kept half of my memories, and all the memories of being with Caroline came back. That's enough..."

Unfortunately, as a price, all the memories from birth to ten years old were lost.Thinking of how sad David would be because he couldn't remember the fun of his childhood, Ellie had no choice but to feel sorry.

"It's okay! Although I can't remember clearly when I was a child, I think... as long as you cherish the future from now on, everything will be fine!"

"What are you talking about..."

Tears fell from Caroline's eyes like a dike, and the emotion called sadness continued to spread in her heart, and the remaining rationality in her mind collapsed.

"I…"

Perhaps sensing the change in Caroline's attitude, Ellie dared not explain any further.

She has never experienced anything, let alone understand what her destiny will be.Even if he gets angry, he is mentally prepared to be scolded by her.

yes.These words are like stories that lie to children.How could she believe that you will die soon.

However, even now, I have always firmly believed that if she stood here properly, that would be the best result.

Nothing else matters.

"You hurt yourself just to save me from dying...now I'm not dead. Do you think I'm happy?"

Caroline turned slowly to Ellie, stroking the oozing scar with her right hand.I saw that the fingers were slightly hard, and the nails were pressing on the blood vessels, which made Ellie extremely painful.

"You torture yourself like this, have you ever thought about my feelings? If you destroy yourself, I will only suffer more than you..."

Seeing Ellie in pain because of what she did, Caroline bit her lip lightly and chuckled.

"Does it hurt? What's a hundred times worse than this pain is my current mood."

"Why don't you understand..."

It's not that I don't understand.

Ellie didn't know how to explain to her why she made these stupid mistakes.

Do you want to tell her, "I don't want to see you wearing a wedding dress as someone else's bride, so I'd rather destroy that man than marry you to him!" Such nonsensical words?

Still need to explain like this, "I can't be sure about your feelings for Neil, so I must make a decision to save everything before I see you make a wrong choice!" Such a selfish reason?

However, these ideas are not completely absent.

For Neil, his existence cannot be ignored.

Thinking of this, Ellie couldn't help laughing at herself.Laughing at the ordinary and humble self.

Perhaps all of this happened by fate.If there is no appearance of myself, Caroline and herself will only be like two parallel lines, and there will be no day when they meet...

If I hadn't seen her three years ago, and hadn't pestered her desperately to demand compensation because she bumped into me...

If there is no business dealings with the Prince Group...

If I hadn't confessed to her because of a momentary fever...

If you know that she already has a fiancé...

If... hadn't forced her to die, persuaded her to make a decision to get engaged to keep her life from being threatened...

There is no if.Everything that happens cannot be stopped.

Even the inexplicable crazy ideas that grow in the brain are silently thriving with their own acquiescence.So much so that he planted the evil fruit with his own hands.

Caroline could not be subjected to a tragic marriage that ended badly.Even if he didn't choose himself, he must never choose a dangerous man like Neil...!

Hiding Caroline, doing everything for her sake...

Could it be that I did all this wrong!

Marrying a man with such a filthy background, wouldn't life be easier like that!

impossible…!How could there be such an option...

For a while, the two felt grievances in their hearts, but they couldn't find a better language to vent it out.

Suddenly, my right hand felt warm.Ellie put her own hand on the back of Caroline's.

"I'm not going to do stupid things anymore...and you too, stop being mad...Caroline."

Seeing Ellie frowning and enduring the pain, Caroline couldn't do anything else, and let go with a soft snort.

She always does.She always knew that as long as she obediently admitted her mistake, she would forgive him unconditionally.

Helpless, her move was extremely effective for herself.

just this time...

"no!"

The sudden bad idea made Caroline's mind flash.As he spoke, he slowly approached Ellie.

"You were so wrong this time. I need your sincerest apology..."

The soft touch from the lips is the best answer.

The long-lost kiss came too late.

"You may not know."

Caroline slowly opened the distance between the two and said.

"Neil is just wishful thinking. From the beginning to the end, I never had the idea of ​​what would happen to him. Even my father, after he knew that Neil's father just wanted a large enterprise that could launder money for him, did After including me as a candidate for the future daughter-in-law, my father also... tried his best to help me get rid of this marriage."

"But I really didn't expect it. You were willing to push me to Neil..."

"No! That's not my intention!"

Ellie was so excited that she opened her mouth to refute, frantically trying to express herself clearly.

Blame only herself, Ellie couldn't help but secretly helpless.

It turned out that he had no intention of explaining clearly about Neil to Caroline at all.At one time, she thought that Neil must be the one Caroline liked, and she was afraid that she and Neil would fall in love with each other.
