hapter 13
This class was a torture for Harley, she always felt Joaquin’s gaze lingering on her, she didn’t dare to look up at all.
As soon as the class ended, Harley dragged Harold out of the classroom, but they were still caught up by Joaquin..
וה.
Harley then noticed that Joaquin looked much more haggard than before. His eyes were now bruised, and there was stubble of a blucish color on
his chin.
“Harley, don’t misunderstand, I just wanted to apologize to you.”
The previous matter was me and Myra apologizing to you, I have always wrongly blamed you.
Joaquin’s eyes were filled with apologies.
Harley thought she had already moved on, but when she saw Joaquin again, there were still ripples in her heart.
Apologies are not necessary, it’s better to stay away from my life. I don’t want to be involved with any of you anymore.
After speaking, Harley wanted to leave, but Joaquin blocked her way with a pleasing smile on his face.
“Harley, didn’t you come home to take a look?”
As if hearing a joke, Harley couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Home? I haven’t had a home since my parents passed away.”

“Joaquin, I was doing well now, if you truly repent, you should let me live freely.
Joaquin looked at Harley in front of him, carefree and reckless, and then glanced at his own weathered hand, letting out a bitter laugh.
“Harley, I was just a little worried about you, it’s just… it’s been so long. since I last saw you.”
Upon hearing his words, Harley felt a shiver run down his spine.
“You and Myra had already gotten married, right? Considering the time, she should have been a few months pregnant. I don’t want her to misunderstand and frame me again.”
Joaquin hurriedly explained to Harley.
“I did not marry Myra, and she deceived me by bribing the doctor to fake her pregnancy.”
After you left, I investigated the truth of the matter.
Joaquin lowered his gaze, feeling somewhat awkward.
“Harley, I still want to apologize to you. While Myra was indeed at fault, I was the one who made a bigger mistake.”
My thoughts about you have never been just the concern of an elder for a younger person, other emotions have long been mixed in.
“It was me who has always been unwilling to admit, trying to wake myself up by hurting you, everything was my fault.”
Harley calmly looked at Joaquin in front of him.
“What’s the use of saying all this now? Are you trying to seek my forgiveness with just a few words?”

Joaquin shook his head quickly.
“No, I didn’t ask for your forgiveness. Apologizing is something I should do. I only ask for a chance to make it up to you,”
Harley sighed..
“I couldn’t forgive you either. For me, the best compensation is to never appear in front of me again.”
Harley pulled Harold and left, no longer wanting to be entangled with Joaquin.
On the way, Harold, who used to be very active, became unusually silent.
Harley hesitated for a moment and then decided to take the initiative and speak up, “Harold, don’t you have anything you want to ask?”
Harold nodded and then shook his head.
“Yes, but that’s your personal matter. I’m waiting for you to speak up.”
“What if I don’t want to say it, aren’t you curious?”
Harold laughed heartily.
“Not curious, huh? Everyone has secrets. Instead of being curious, I would rather you be happy.”
Upon hearing Harold’s words, Harley’s mood slightly eased.
“The person just now was a former sent–down youth who used to stay at my house, and also… someone I used to have feelings for.”
Harley told Harold the ins and outs of the matter, but she concealed the fact of her reincarnation, fearing that he wouldn’t be able to accept it. She only recounted the events that had occurred in this lifetime.

After Harold listened, his eyes were filled with heartache.
“Harley, it was really not easy for you to come here.”
Harley genuinely smiled from the heart.
“It’s all in the past, but at least now I am very happy.”
Perhaps Joaquin had listened to her words, and she didn’t see Joaquin. again for the following week. The previous subject teacher also returned to continue the classes.
I thought nothing else would happen, but I didn’t expect that after she came out of the library after studying, she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her head and then lost consciousness.
On the other hand, Joaquin and Harold both received a letter, which had only one sentence written on it.
“Harley was in my hands, if you want to save her, come to the cold storage to find me.”
Tick, tock, tick, tock…
When Harley woke up, she heard the sound of dripping water, which was very close, right above her head.
She lifted her head and a drop of liquid fell right onto her face, with a faint smell of blood, not like water.
Harley’s body stiffened, and he immediately looked around.
The surrounding environment was very dark, with a cold air. Harley didn’t know where he was, so he had to shout out.
“Is anyone there?”

The light on top of her head suddenly lit up, and only then did Harley see the surroundings clearly. It was an abandoned cold storage, but the equipment was still functioning, so that was why she felt the chill.
The liquid that just dripped onto her face was probably blood that had melted and seeped out from the fresh produce placed on the shelf.
“Harley, long time no see. I wonder if you missed me?”
When Harley saw the newcomer, he almost didn’t recognize them.
She had become much thinner than before, with a pale–yellow complexion. She was no longer arrogant, but her expression had become even more sinister.
“Was it you who brought me here?”
The beautiful woman chuckled softly twice.
“Surprised, aren’t you? If it weren’t for you, my father’s position would not have been dismissed.”
Harley frowned.
“This was already something you did wrong…”
Her words were interrupted by the woman before she could finish speaking.
“It’s not true. Harold clearly stole my spot. I was much better than him. Why didn’t Professor Galvan choose me?”
Harley ignored her hysteria and retorted with a question.
“What did you bring me here for?”
The woman pulled out the dagger that was tucked at her waist, a hint of
Chapter 13
madness flashed in her eyes.
“What are you doing? Of course, it was to make you pay the price.”
Anyway, I didn’t have anything worth cherishing, so today you and the person you care about must leave one behind here.
After speaking, the woman rushed towards Harley, seemingly wanting to hold him hostage, but Harley was already prepared and dodged to the side. running away.
The terrain inside the cold storage was somewhat complex, and Harley circled several times but couldn’t find the exit.
“Don’t waste your energy, without me leading the way, you wouldn’t be able to find the exit.”
Harley ran into a dead end and saw a woman approaching her. Harley slowed down and tried to calm the woman’s emotions.
“Perhaps we could sit down and have a good talk.”
But the woman didn’t fall for it at all, waving a dagger and pouncing towards Harley.
“There was nothing to talk about between you and me.”
Harley closed his eyes, but the imagined pain didn’t come.
She opened her eyes and found that the woman’s wrist had been grabbed. and the dagger had been knocked to the ground.
The person in front of her looked at her with a concerned expression on
their face.
“Harley, are you okay?”
