The night in the middle of the night is almost fading away, and the horizon slowly begins to become clear.
Florence parks the car aside.In order not to attract attention, she sneaks into the Su House from the grass fence.
A floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the first floor of Su House is glimmering, which makes Florence very confused and she turns her head subconsciously to look around.
She sees a figure at the window with a long skirt and hair slightly curled, whose back image is very like Tabitha’s. But look at it carefully, Tabitha sill wears straight hair during the day, is she so idle at night to roll her hair?
Suddenly, it occurs to Florence it is like Antonia’s figure, and four years ago she was so slender and had her hair slightly rolled. She and Tabitha are sisters, and their looks are very similar,except for this change of hair. Now this back image happens to be a simple distinction between their differences.
Thinking about that,Florence can’t help but be in a cold sweat. If Antonia did not pass away four years ago, then…
Before Florence is given more time to think about her,the people at the window seem to have found her, and quickly goes into the house.The lights in the room are quickly turned off.
She see her?
But why doesn’t she catch her,instead, hides herself first?
Florence’s deep doubts seem to have an answer, but there is no time to think about it. She turns to look at the gate of Su House and runs over.
During the day,Florence has already known about the layout of Su House, so she goes inside soon and creeps to the second floor.
But as soon as she comes to the second floor, her face turns white, and her thin lips are tightly closed. She doesn’t know what to do.
The entire second floor is full of rooms, and the door of each room is closed. There should be more than a dozen rooms when she counts carefully.
Florence turns to look at the time, and she can not delay.Taking a deep breath, she sneaks into the first room.
Open slowly… darkness.
After opening seven or eight rooms in a row, there was only darkness, but she is not discouraged and continues to move forward to open room at the corner.
“Bad guy… bad guy… I want my mother, I want my mother.”
Just as soon as she opens the door, Nelson’s voice comes through. Florence’s melancholy face changes instantly, her mouth rises slightly, and she runs to the bed.
The little boy on the bed curls up with both hands clasping the quilt tightly. In his sleep, he keeps muttering for his mother.
Florence stretches out her hand and slowly touches his delicate face. Her heart is like being squashed by someone, and it hurts as if stifled.
He is so little, he should have fallen asleep in his mother’s arms every night, but now he is crying even in his dreams.
She is not a good mother.
Florence wipes off the tears in her eyes, and is more determined to take Nelson away. She wakes up Nelson.
“Nel, Nel?”
“Well~ Mom? Mom!” Nelson opens a pair of bright, dark eyes in confusion, says in a clear voice.
“Hush…” Florence slowly picks up Nelson and dresses him up. She says softly, “A moment later Mom will play a game with Nel, can you finish it?”
“Of course.”
After all, Nelson is a little kid. He is interested in it when listening to the game, not to mention the person who plays with him is Mom.
Florence smiles and says softly in Nelson’s ear. “Later I will take you out of here, you can’t make any sound all the time. We have to leave quietly, understand?”
“Do we intend to be agents who can’t talk?”
Nelson looks serious.
“Yeah.”
Florence takes Nelson out of bed, holding his hand tightly and begins to move toward the door.
The two smoothly walk out of the gate of Su House and the distance between them and the car is closer and closer.
Seeing that hope is in front of them, Florence smiles and squeezes the small hand of Nelson, while continuing to run and says, “Nel, this time we must be far from this place, never come back.”
“Yeah.” Nelson nods with loveliness and follows her mother to continue to run forward, step by step.
“Rattle.-”
Suddenly, a bunch of headlights on full beam shoots their back , which is about to tear the sky in the early morning.
Florence’s heart is tight and she lifts Nelson and strides forward without hesitation.
The light from the back is always on them, which is hard to get rid of like a ghost.
“My home is not the easy place for you Florence to come or leave at random!” Tabitha’s hands grip the steering wheel tightly, with her black eyes glaring straight ahead, which are full of viciousness.
She increases the accelerator. What Florence saw at night must be a secret. Only the dead will shut up forever.
Tabitha considers like that, and she loses reason and looks like the incarnation of the devil.
Florence outside the car is completely unknown. She just thinks about taking Nelson away. Anyway, she will try her best.
Seeing that they are very close to the car, Florence does not get on the car but continues to run forward.
Florence is smart. At this time, if she gets on the car, she will only be cut off by the car behind. Besides,Nelson will be taken away by them.
“Nelson, don’t be afraid, Mom is here.”
Florence runs while touching the child’s head, panting but comforting him.
The car is approaching. Florence rushes forward and opens the back door of a white car that is parked on the side of the road, leaving Nelson there.
“Master… trouble you, trouble you to send this child to No. 32, Haibin Road, please be sure to send him there!”
Florence has no time to look at the driver. In a rush, what she can do is to guarantee the safety of Nelson.
“Good boy, Mom will look for you in a while, go with the uncle first.”
She hurriedly finishes her speech, closes the door with force, and continues to run forward.
In order to bring attention to herself, her motion still maintains holding child’s posture and struggles to rush forward.
However, how can people run against a car?
Soon, Florence’s physical strength begins to be used up, and her speed slows down. The rear car is also chasing her up, but there is no sign to slow down.
The sky has been completely bright, and Florence clearly sees the driver is Tabitha until she is hit to the ground by the car.
Tabitha closes her eyes and steps on the gas hard. Suddenly, a violent crash sound appears in front of the car.
Florence is knocked out straight, and her body is thrown straight out with a small parabola.
At that moment, in addition to Nelson in her mind, there should be so many memories relevant to that person.
The strong impact behind her makes her fall straight backwards. The whole body instantly feels like being torn apart. Florence wants to stand up, but her arms don’t work anyway. She is lying on the ground, and even blood is flowing out of the corners of her mouth.
The pain is unbearable.
Florence feels that she herself is about to fall apart,lying weakly on the ground with her hair scattered and face pale.
Is she dying?
Nelson has not grown up, and is she going to disappear in this way?
There is more haze in front of Florence’s eyes , and her strength is lost. She is not reconciled, but the reality is that she can’t regard herself strong.
Florence takes it for granted that Tabitha does not want to stop driving, because the sound of the engine continues.
She has no strength to jump off, simply closes her eyes and waits for another impact.
As long as Nelson is safe, what if her life ends here?
She waits for a long time in confusion, but she does not expect that the final impact is delayed.
Her mind becomes more and more faint. Before she faints away, she hears a cold and feminine male voice sounding, “You decent second Miss Su,should do this kind of morganizing!”
This voice is familiar but strange, her heart moves, is he…?
