Elaina and Joyce then went on eating without saying anything more. There was an awkward silence in the air
After their meal, which neither of them seemed to have enjoyed, the two walked out of the restaurant. There was serenity in the night sky But Joyce was not in the mood to feel it at all.
“Elaina, can you walk with me a bit?” Joyce turned to look at Elaina, hoping that Elaina could be her company That way, she could feel less lonely
“Okay” Elaina nodded.
The two of them walked along the river The wind blew their hair.
“What are your plans for the future?” Elaina started the topic of conversation, wanting to schmooze with her
Joyce thought that Elaina was asking about marriage, so she smiled bitterly, “I don’t have a plan. I think I’ll just pretend that he doesn’t exist and do what I need to do.”
I’m asking you if you intend to continue your studies in medicine?” Elaina asked.
Elaina could tell that Joyce had a passionate interest in medicine from her internship, so Elaina asked her the question.
Joyce was stunned and then embarrassed. Then she smiled, “I had planned to take the postgraduate entrance examination before, but now..
The Wallace family going bankrupt like that had disrupted all her plans.
“Now what? Married or not, you can always do what you want to do.”
Elaina stopped and looked at Joyce with a serious expression. “Joyce, it would be nice if you could hold on to your career, which I can tell that you love so much.”
Looking into Elaina’s eyes, Joyce was touched. Then Joyce nodded. “Okay, I won’t give up. I hope that one day, I will become someone as badass as you.”
Elaina had been Joyce’s idol before Joyce even met Elaina. And after having worked with Elaina, Joyce felt that she worshiped Elaina even more greatly.
“You can do it,” Elaina said encouragingly. Due to that, Joyce smiled, the sight of which made Elaina let out at sigh of relief Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
As the two were talking, a figure emerged from the forest.
In its wake, a shiny knife was pointed at them. Then, Jason’s face appeared in Elaina’s line of sight.
“Jason, what do you want?” Elaina pulled Joyce behind her back subconsciously, trying to shield her Elaina didn’t seem to feel worried.
After all, Jason was simply not Elaina’s match in terms of fighting skills.
Jason sneered and pointed his knife at Elaina, “Bitch! You’ve destroyed me. And now, I will destroy you!”
Jason had been on the news since this afternoon. As a result, netizens started to reprimand him for what he had done. Some even showed up at Jason’s door, wanting to hit him. And since Jason couldn’t find Kent, he decided to vent his anger on Elaina.
Right now, he wanted to kill Elaina very badly
“Put down the knife and get lost. And then, I’ll spare you. That’s the sensible thing for you to do now.” Jason was Kent s father Elaina didn’t want to take measures that were overkill.
Sending Jason to prison would do no good to Kent at all.
But Jason found Elaina’s words amusing, thinking that Elaina was afraid. Therefore, Jason gave a smug smile.
“Then I will let you do the sensible thing as well. Kneel and beg me. That way, I will let you go,” he said with a smile, his face full of pride, as if Elaina had knelt before him already
Elaina’s expression changed slightly. She knew that it was no use saying anything more.
Then Elaina swiveled around to look at Joyce. “Stay put Don’t run around.
“All right,” Joyce answered. Then she added, “Elaina, how about we run?”
“Run?” Jason sneered coldly before approaching them with the knife in his hand. “I wonder where you guys can run to!”
“Elaina, be careful!” Looking at the knife Jason stabbed over with, Joyce shouted in horror
