Chapter 20
In the following days, Stanley was almost always by my side. I knew he wanted to keep an eye on me.”
But all I wanted to do was to leave. Especially at night, when I went to sleep, I could see Xenia’s eyes staring at me, looking extremely terrifying. For me, these days were like a nightmare. Every time, I felt fear and dread.”
Finally, since I made no moves for the past few days, Stanley relaxed a little.”
“Selene, I’m going out for a while, you stay at home and wait for me!” Stanley said as he looked at me.”
Hearing his words, I behaved extra obediently and quickly replied, “Stanley, you’d better go now!” Don’t worry, I’ll definitely wait for you at home!“}
My words made Stanley finally feel at ease and he hurriedly left after that.”
But as I watched his back while leaving, my heart was already panicking. Because when Stanley left, I even saw Xenia make a turn and smile at me. That smile looked especially sinister, which made me feel even more scared.
I pretended not to see her smile, but kept smiling as I watched Stanley leave, even obediently waving my hand at him.” Seeing my action, Stanley relaxed again and then hurried away.”
The moment he left, I immediately packed everything and rushed back to my hometown as fast as possible.
Stanley didn’t know that my grandmother used to be the most famous convent keeper in our place. Since I was little, I followed her and naturally learned some skills.
And this time, I had to leave quickly. As long as I returned to my hometown, I would be safe.
I got into a car, quickly booked a plane ticket and called my cousin in the village, hoping he would pick me up at the airport. My cousin didn’t waste words and agreed right away.”
Along the way, I was extremely nervous, afraid Stanley would notice something was wrong.
Not until the taxi dropped me at the airport did I finally relax. I knew that now, I was truly safe.
After a quick check–in, I gradually relaxed while waiting.
The moment the broadcast announced boarding, I hurriedly carried my luggage and got on the plane.
After landing, I saw my cousin wave at me and at that moment, I was finally at ease.”
“Selene, what happened? Why did you suddenly come back?” My cousin looked at me and asked.”
“Brian, I need your protection!” I gave him a look as I said that.”
After my parents died, the only one who truly cared about me was him. So I was sure he would protect me.
Hearing my words, Brian was instantly surprised, then quickly asked, “What happened?“”
“Stanley wants to kill me!“”
I looked at Brian and said, “If he takes me away, I will definitely be killed by him!”
Upon hearing that, he immediately spoke, “Selene, don’t worry. No matter who it is, it’s impossible for anyone to take you away from this village!”
His promise finally made me feel at ease.”
After returning to the village, Brian sent me back to the old house.
Since my parents‘ death, I hadn’t been back for a long time, but now, the place was still clean as new.
Brian told me that every once in a while, he came to clean it up, so my house stayed so neat.\
He told me to rest well and assured me that everyone in the village was our own people, so there was nothing to worry about.
