Seeing the other party enjoying themselves, while we, as victims, could only hide like rats, I felt extremely aggrieved. But thinking back to the nightmare I experienced in my previous life, I decided to hold back my grievances for the time being and prepare to go back to my hometown to avoid the limelight.

In order to prevent any complications, we hurriedly packed our luggage, bought train tickets, and prepared to rush back to our hometown. However, as soon as we arrived at the train station, my father suddenly realized that he had forgotten to bring his work laptop. He had a design document that the client urged very urgently and needed to be submitted in the next two days. He had almost finished it, and only needed to finish the finishing work. He could have done it at home, but he couldn't do it without a laptop.

" Wait for me in the waiting room for a while. I'll go get the computer and come back soon." Dad sent us to the entrance, gave us a few simple instructions, and drove away. My mother and I dragged our luggage and finally arrived at the waiting room. At this moment, Horace suddenly called me on video. When I saw Horace 's head, I couldn't help but burst into tears. I wiped my tears and connected the video.

When I saw Horace in the video , I was shocked and stood up. I saw Horace lying on the hospital bed, his head was wrapped in bandages, and blood had seeped out. His eyes were swollen and blue, and he looked miserable, but what was even more miserable was the look in his eyes. His eyes were like a kitten abandoned by its owner, full of the sadness of being homeless.

"Anran, if you don't want me anymore, just tell me. Even if I can't let you go, I won't bother you anymore." Horace said bitterly, "But you don't have to hurt me like this, right?"

" Horace , what happened to you?" I asked with tears streaming down my face. "I never gave up on you. Who hurt you so badly?"

" It wasn't you?" Horace asked in astonishment. "But I clearly received your call. You asked me to come find you, but when I got there, there was no sign of you. There was only a man who said that I was the mistress who stole his girlfriend. He brought a group of people to beat me up."

"Horace, I haven't called you in the past two days!" I said in shock. It was Guilia! She must have done it! I now understand what she meant by that sentence she said this morning. She was actually going to threaten me with the people around me to make me obey!
