Chapter 4 What Are You Laughing At

Lily squatted on the road for a long time until a truck passed by and almost hit her. The driver stretched out his head and scolded her for a few words that she didn't understand. Then he left angrily.

She stood up slowly. Her legs were sore and numb. She couldn't walk fast, so she moved slowly step by step.

It was not that she didn't love him, but that her heart had died.

She had sworn to herself that she wouldn't lower her head to this man no matter whether she would see Peter again in the future.

Absolutely not.

If a woman didn't cherish her dignity, and gave it to others as a sacrifice, she's wasting her life. She wouldn't give him a second chance to hurt her. She had been recovering for five years. That was enough. It was long enough. Lily had only lived for twenty-five years. She hadn't experienced so many wonderful things. She couldn't waste the good time and trapped herself in the whirlpool of love.

She had to go out.

Forever.

Lily slowly got into her car, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands. She blinked and felt something hot coming down from the corner of her eyes. Then she realized that she was crying.

She cried.

It was so strange.

In the first two years, she was almost dead. Her tears dried over and over again, and she had already been numb. After that, she never cried again.

But today, why did she cry again?

With a self-mockery smile, Lily rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand and wiped the tears dry.

"Lily, stop this It's not a big deal. Why are you crying? Is Peter still worth your tears? Don't be silly. Who else in the world will pity your tears except yourself? "

"Me."

A low and deep voice of a man came in from the half opened window. It was faint but very firm, without any hesitation, and with a hint of imperceptible pity.

She was stunned and suddenly looked back with red eyes.

"I thought you had a car accident. Now it seems that there is indeed a car accident. "

Joe sighed heavily, opened the door and took her out. He held her horizontally in his arms and squinted.

"How can you be so stupid? Won't you call the police if you have a car accident? Or, won't you call me? What were you doing in the car alone? Waiting for miracles? Don't blame me for scolding you, Lily. It's not so terrible that you are stupid. What's terrible is that you don't know you are stupid at all. Do you understand? Can you take good care of yourself? Don't always make me nervous? I feel like my heart is going to break down because of you. "

She curled up in his arms, like an injured little beast with her head bowed. She looked pitiful.

Joe clicked his tongue and said, "Hey, cheer up! Your father has woken up! "

Hearing this, Lily seemed to come to her senses. She looked up at him and asked in a hoarse voice, "when?"

"Half an hour ago. Lily. are you in a daze for more than an hour? "

She looked at him blankly, as if she acquiesced in it.

Joe cursed in his heart and pinched her shoulder hard, "you are really crazy."

Without saying a word, Lily frowned and loosened her eyebrows, and finally frowned.

She let him carry her into the car. Joe called to explain the situation, and soon the traffic police and the insurance company came to identify. She leaned her head against the car window in silence. Even when Joe asked her for the driver's license, her eyes were numb.

"Damn it!"

Joe glared at her and ignored her. He took out her driver's license from her handbag and handed it to the traffic police behind him.

"According to the surveillance video, this lady is fully responsible. After that, we will inform the owner of the other party to go to the traffic police team. At that time, you two will negotiate, and the compensation will be decided by yourselves." After the policeman said these words seriously, he suddenly changed his expression and whispered in Joe's ear, "is she your girlfriend?"

Joe was stunned at the same time. Somehow, he nodded and asked, "yes, what's wrong?"

As soon as the policeman heard this, he immediately looked at him sympathetically and sighed slightly. "Nothing. Just comfort your girlfriend well. She seems to be frightened. Besides, I kindly remind you to keep an eye on her Well, forget it. I won't tell you. "

His words made Joe curious.

Joe wanted to ask him what's wrong, but when he turned around, he saw the half dead look of Lily, so he had to give up.

"Your car was pulled back first. You can drive after the accident is settled. I think you'd better not go to the hospital now. I'll drive you home to have a rest. Tomorrow I'll go to the hospital with you to see your father. What do you think? "

Lily neither nodded nor shook her head. It took her a long time to say yes, but she didn't show any change in her expression.

Bearing the urge to scold her, Joe frowned and went into the driver's seat.

The car started slowly. In the darkness under the roadside, a tall and straight figure stood there still. The man's eyes were slightly cold. He narrowed his eyes deeper and deeper as the car went away. He still maintained that posture until the car disappeared after it turned into a small white dot.

Peter pursed his lips and darkened his look.

Holding her shoulder, Joe sent Lily upstairs. When they arrived at the door, he glanced at her and directly began to look through her handbag, not asking for the key.

"The key is over there."

Lily poked him on the shoulder and pointed at the top of the door.

Joe was stunned, "where?"

"Above the door."

"Ah!" he reached out his hand helplessly and took out a silver key from the crack of the door.

"Lily, you're smart. It's not a waste to put the key in that kind of place."

She turned her head stiffly to look at him and suddenly burst into laughter.

Joe pinched her face at the same time, "Why are you laughing? Do you think I'm praising you? How dare you put the key so casually? Aren't you afraid of thieves at midnight? "

"Impossible. I don't have anything valuable in my house."

"You are much more valuable than anything!" Joe was so angry that he glared at her and twisted her face with the hand pinching her face. "Lily, are you brainless? Are you trying to piss me off? "
