[Comprehensive] The family has waste wood and is beginning to grow

On the streets of Palermo, it is the time of the day when the traffic is the most congested.

Sitting in the driver's seat of the car, Laura, who was driving the car, had gradually exhausted her patience, and picked up the mineral water on the side to relieve herself a little anxiously.

And the long queue of traffic ahead seemed to have no intention of moving forward at all.

After celebrating Dino's 12th birthday, she originally planned to return to the United States after a few days, but she stayed... in order to wait for an answer.

The day before she was due to leave, she went to find Enzo.Although many unexpected things happened in this return to Italy, she still did not forget her other purpose of returning to Italy this time besides celebrating Dino's birthday... to ask about the events of the year, the memory she had forgotten.

The result was the same as when she first asked about her memory, he refused to answer.

Just when she planned to deal with him patiently and get the answer she wanted no matter what, he suddenly said that it was okay to tell her, but she had to stay in Italy with him and Dino, maybe God, when he figured it out, he was willing to say it.

What if he has been wasting like this?Of course she is not stupid, she will not jump into a bottomless pit, just "bargain" for a deadline.

And he agreed, saying that it would be his birthday at the latest.

Enzo's birthday is in April, which means he will stay in Italy for more than two months at most.Thinking that she really didn't have any special announcements to rush recently, Laura agreed.

In fact, she agreed in this way, and she knew it in her heart... If she could, she really wanted to spend more time with the two men, one big and one small, and this was a good reason.

And it has been a month since that appointment, and in March, Sicily has just entered spring.

……

The car moved forward with difficulty in the long queue, and Laura looked at her watch again. There was not much time left until the time she had made an appointment with the magazine.Although she was in Italy, she still did not forget about her career. She accepted a fashion shooting job for a famous fashion magazine. Today, she made an appointment with the person in charge of the magazine to discuss the details.

Slowly driving forward, when she glimpsed a small road ahead on the left, after thinking for a while, Laura turned the steering wheel a little bit and decided to take that small road.After all, having lived in this city for so many years, she is quite familiar with all the streets.

The car drove into the lane that only allowed two cars to pass side by side. Laura drove the car very smoothly and didn't pay attention to the rearview mirror.As a result, just as they were about to cross this slightly dimly lit road, the sound of "呵——!"

He quickly turned off the engine, and hurriedly got out of the car to check.

I saw an ordinary-looking car from the rear crashed straight into the rear of her car, and the owner didn't seem to have a normal post-crash reaction, and didn't even get out of the car.

Just when Laura was thinking about whether to go forward and knock on the window, the door of that car finally opened from the inside.Then, a thin-looking man stepped out of the car.

The man was not tall, and his body was not so thin as it was sickly.I can't tell the age, because this man obviously gives people a vicissitudes of premature aging.The face has a kind of skinny feeling, and the expression is quite distorted and hideous, which is especially strange under the dark light of this trail.

The body instinctively gave birth to a sense of warning, and Laura felt that the man in front of her was definitely not a kind person, so she took two steps back unconsciously.

And judging from the man's actions just now... It is very likely that this man crashed into her car on purpose.

He couldn't help but clenched the phone in his hand, and silently entered a series of numbers, ready to press the dial button immediately if something happened.

The man didn't seem to be in a hurry, he even let out a low, hoarse laugh, and then slowly turned his head away.

When Laura saw the man's face clearly, her heartbeat speeded up suddenly, and she felt like she was about to be out of breath.She has never seen this man, at least not in the memory she has, but when she saw this man's face clearly, this feeling of panic and escape seemed to explode in her body instinctively .Even at this moment, pictures suddenly flashed in the brain.

She must have known this man in the past, for sure!It exists in the memory she lost!

And noticing that Laura seemed to be in a trance, and showed a state of fear, the man with a sick face seemed to be greatly satisfied, and said in a hoarse voice:

"I didn't expect it, big star, we met again... 13 years in prison, I just got out of prison two days ago, but I saw you on the street today by such a coincidence."

Trying to suppress the turmoil in her heart, Laura pretended to be calm and said, "Have you been following me?"

"Of course, I was very excited and excited when I saw you..." The voice was so light and creepy, like a ghost floating in the mortal world, "I heard that you are doing well now, it seems You are finally no longer pretending to be noble, how many benefactors have slept along the way... No, you are not a noble saint in your bones, otherwise you would not have climbed into the bed of that bastard Gabriel .How many men have you changed since then? After more than ten years, he hasn't slept enough with you."

Hearing the other party speak so rudely, compared with the anger in her heart, what shocked Laura more was the frantic flashing of images in her mind, which made her whole brain feel like it was on the verge of collapse.

The man smiled secretly again, then sat back in his car, ignored Laura, and drove his car out of this trail.

Just before leaving, he sneered and left a sentence "Looking forward to our next meeting...".

……

Laura, who sat back in the car, was shaking all over her body, and she completely fell into the driver's seat.After a long while, he couldn't start the car, his hands and feet were cold and stiff.

The bright spring light shone in through the car window, but she couldn't feel any warmth.

She kept reviewing the clips that had just flashed in her mind. Those clips flickered so fast that she couldn't catch them in time. It's just that there are a few scenes that even if they only appear in her mind for a moment, they are enough to be deeply engraved in her mind.

There are extravagant feasts, decadent and nothingness.

There was the man just now, or he with a younger posture, who showed her an expression that made her sick.

There was also a look at her, which was extremely cold and cruel like a sharp knife quenched with poison, and there was an undisguised sarcasm in it.And this look of lingering fear, she will not admit that it is Enzo's.

Compared with the other scenes, Enzo's look made her more frightened and chilled, her whole body throbbed like a spasm.

"Laura, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tell you...you don't want to know."

"The years before... If you look back, maybe you won't be happy."

In Japan that night in the hot spring pool, what Enzo had said to her came back to her heart again, deepening her confusion and fear.

……

After sitting alone in the car for an unknown amount of time, the car door was suddenly opened, causing Laura to twitch all over, and suddenly raised her head to look at the person coming.

As soon as she raised her head, she met the pair of eyes looking down at her... the pair of eyes that shocked her in the brain fragment just now.

For such an instant, fear instinctively appeared on his face, and his whole body shrank back obviously, trying to protect his posture.

It was only at the next moment that the worry in those kite eyes dispelled the subconscious vigilance in her brain, and she seemed to finally come to her senses.

Enzo, who was standing outside the car, noticed Laura's series of strange reactions, and asked eagerly, "What happened?"

"You...how did you come here?" Laura asked in a daze.

Enzo shook the mobile phone in his hand, but then gestured with his eyes to get off the one in the car that Laura had just casually discarded aside.

Laura picked up her mobile phone in a daze, only to see that the screen showed that she was still on the phone, and had been "on the phone" for a while.

It was only then that she realized that when she first met that man, she had already entered Enzo's number on the phone just in case, but then she must have held the phone firmly under high tension, and then accidentally pressed it. Dial the key, and just like that, a call was made to Enzo's cell phone.

"What happened? Why didn't you talk after you called my cell phone?" Enzo said while stroking Laura's cheek with his fingertips, feeling the obvious coldness.

After realizing that something was wrong with Laura, Enzo didn't ask any more questions in consideration of Laura's emotions. Instead, he suddenly bent down, leaned into the car, picked up Laura from the driver's seat, and put him on the passenger seat.

Then, Enzo got into the car by himself and sat on the driver's seat, "You can't drive in your current state, go back first."

Just when she was about to start the car, Laura suddenly hugged him, her body trembling and her expression numbly hugging him.

Enzo also froze, Laura seldom took the initiative to hug him, and still hugged him in this state.But he could feel that she needed him.

Hugging her back, stroking her back, comforting her one after another.

After a while, finally——

"Enzo, I just... met someone..."
