Chapter 10 Entanglement

Standing behind them, Elli couldn't hear what they were whispering, but she could see that her father's complexion was getting worse. Elli immediately pushed Gregory away and rushed to her father's bed. "Dad, dad, are you ok? Dad? "

However, Steven couldn't speak clearly. He just pointed at the direction of Gregory and said weakly, "Devil! Devil Elli, run! Run away from him! " After saying that, Steven closed his eyes slowly.

Elli stared at her father in disbelief and shouted, "Dad! Dad! Doctor, where is the doctor? "

The doctor was in the emergency room. With her arms crossed before her chest, Elli stared at the door of the ward. The next second, Elli turned to Gregory. She said weakly, "You have changed. What did you say to my father?"

"Who could remain unchanged over years?" Gregory sneered with distain on his handsome face.

Two hours later, the doctor came out. He looked calm and said indifferently, "Miss Elli, I'm sorry."

Elli was stunned for a while, then she laughed with tears bursting out.

She looked towards the direction of the ward for a long time, but did not take any steps. She just kept stepping back. She smiled bitterly and said in a hoarse and broken voice, "Gregory! Now you are satisfied! You devil! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! " After saying that, she beat on Gregory's body hard.

He just held Elli tightly.

It seemed that Gregory was extremely tired. He rested his head on Elli's and murmured, "You hate me and I hate you...... Elli, we are destined to torture and suffer from each other. Just hate each other. Just torture each other like this. "

It was two months after Steven's funeral. Elli didn't care about anything about the funeral. Even if the outsiders kept scolding her for being heartless. Elli was just afraid. She didn't dare to look at her father, even a single glance.

In the past few months, she had been woken up from a nightmares almost every night. In her nightmares, her father looked at her dotingly. But the next second, her father became ferocious. He squeezed Elli's neck hard and said, "You unfilial daughter. How could you love your father's enemy!"

"Dad, I didn't! Dad, I'm sorry! "

Elli woke up from her nightmare again. Her back was wet with cold sweat. She stood up from the bed dejectedly. There was no one else in the bed except herself.

After taking a shower in the bathroom, the sweat was washed away together with her sleepiness.

Sitting at the corner of the bed, Elli wrapped her arms around her knees and curled up into a ball. It was said that this was an action of a baby, which often showed a lack of security in heart.

Just then, the door of the room was slightly opened. Gregory came in with a tired face and the smell of cigarettes, alcohol and perfume. He had been busy with social engagements recently, but he still came back every day.

In fact, Elli didn't want him to come back because she didn't know how to face him.

At the sight of Elli's posture, Gregory's heart ached, but he had no other way to change the stance of the two. Then let it be.

They would entangle with each other to death.

Hearing the sound, Elli didn't raise her head. She didn't show any expression on her pale face until he came over and gently held her in his arms.

Elli didn't struggle. She just found a comfortable posture and nestled in his arms. No one said anything to interrupt such a quiet and warm moment.

Elli lowered her head and took a deep breath of his scent, pretending the situation was the same as what happened in the past. However, in the past, there was only a clean and fresh smell of soap on his body. Now, she could only smell the mixture of cigarette, alcohol and strong perfume.

Then she realized that things had changed. Elli suddenly thought of what happened. She was like a frightened rabbit and quickly pushed Gregory away.

Gregory was pushed away by a sudden force, and his face immediately darkened. Meanwhile, Elli was like a quiet kitten, whispering, "I don't like the smell of other women on you." After saying that, she wrinkled her nose and looked disgusted.

Unexpectedly, Gregory seemed happy to hear that. He smiled dotingly and left a gentle kiss on Elli's forehead. Elli lowered her head shyly. He stood up and said in a soft voice unconsciously, "I'll take a shower."

Elli didn't answer, but nodded again with her head down. Then, Gregory entered the bathroom in a good mood.

Gregory didn't know that the shyness on Elli's face disappeared on the second he left. She quickly got up from the bed and walked to the table in the living room. She had been observing these days. Recently, Gregory began to let his guard down. She must seize the precious chance to leave him.

Elli grabbed the key on the table, gritted her teeth, looked back at the direction of the bathroom and finally made up her mind. She walked quickly to the door and opened it.

It was late and Aunt Li had fallen asleep. Elli escaped smoothly. It was not until the car drove out of the Mo clan that she felt a little relieved.

But she didn't know that Gregory had bought her a gift. He stepped out of the bathroom soon after she left as he couldn't wait to show her the gift.

Looking at the shining necklace in his hand and the empty bed, he quickly walked out of the room. The key on the table was gone, and she just left. Leaving her fragrance in the room.

When he saw the necklace at the party, he thought that Elli must be very beautiful wearing it as she had fair skin and slender neck. So he bought it unconsciously. At the same time, he told himself in his heart, 'That's all for hurting each other. After tonight, I would give her best things and simple life'. However, the empty room seemed to laugh at him and his pride.

Sitting on the sofa, Gregory dialed a number, "I want to see her before tomorrow morning." He knew that Elli was in this city and she couldn't escape from him.

The red light on the car suddenly rang. Elli was shocked. Was the fuel tank empty? She watched as the tank was completely empty. Leaning her head on the steering wheel dejectedly, Elli knew that she couldn't escape any more

At this time, someone knocked on the window of the car. Elli looked out of the window with a miserable face. It was not Gregory, but she had seen him before. He was his fellow man.

Well, you came so soon.

Twenty minutes later, Elli was taken back to Mo clan. Aunt Li had already woken up. She was looking at Elli worriedly, seeming to say something but stopped on a second thought.

Gregory sat cross legged in the middle of the sofa, looking extremely handsome. His deep eyes were staring at Elli coldly, but he didn't say anything. He just smoked.

Elli didn't say anything either. She looked at him stubbornly. The clock in the living room rang, and the sound of two "clang" was shocking.

She suddenly smiled with self-mockery. Yes, it was only two. It was really ironic that she had been hiding for more than two months and escaped for only an hour.

Finally, he finished his last cigarette. He pressed the cigarette end on the ashtray and blew out a mouthful of white mist. Then he threw a necklace gently in front of Elli, making a crisp sound.

In silence, Elli looked at the necklace on the table. She didn't understand what he meant. She just took a look at it and quickly looked away.

"Do you know what it is?" Gregory felt a little sad, but he didn't show it. But when he saw that Elli didn't even raise her head, he felt himself more like a joke. He couldn't help but walk to her side, pinched her delicate chin, forced her to look up at the beautiful necklace, and continued, "This is the necklace I bought for you!"

"Necklace? I'd rather call it a chain. "

Hearing this, Gregory's eyes darkened and he paused, "Anyway, it's meaningless now. You should ran away from me! "

At this point, Elli suddenly raised her head and looked at the necklace. After a long time, she looked away. No one noticed that Elli's eyes were slightly red, and she was about to collapse. "Even if you bought me the necklace, so what? Does it mean you like me? Don't you think you are hypocritical now? Or have you thought of some interesting ideas to fool me? Young master? "

"You really think so?"

"Or what? How should I see you after you pushing my dad to death? " Elli cried out in pain. Her watery eyes were no longer happy. At this moment, she was full of sadness and desperate, "Gregory! If you really loved me, please... Please let me go. "

Elli said powerfully, but her soft voice was shocking, which made Gregory tremble slightly. A moment later, he suddenly pulled the corner of his mouth and stared at Elli, "Let you go? No way! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Elli seemed to be blinded by the dark curtain.

In the morning, when Elli woke up, she found herself sleeping in the quilt.

"Rat-a-tat!" There was a knock on the door all of a sudden. Elli didn't respond. Aunt Li's voice came from outside, "Elli, it's noon now. Get up, wash up and have lunch, okay?"

It seemed that Elli didn't hear what she said. The curtain was tightly drawn. Anyway, what was the difference between opening it and closing it? For a person who was imprisoned, the day and night were the same.

Since she escaped and was caught that night, Elli had been locked up by Gregory. She couldn't go out of the Mo clan at will. Two people followed her closely even when she went to the garden for a walk. And even Aunt Li paid attention to her movements unconsciously. What was the meaning of such a life?

With her eyes closed, Elli turned around and tightened the quilt, completely letting herself go.

The voices of Gregory and Aunt Li came from outside the door. Although they were a little vague, they could still be recognized.

"Young master, what should we do? No one could stand it. The young madam has only drunk a little water since yesterday, and she hasn't eaten anything. "

"It's none of your business. Keep bringing the food."

"Well, well, I see." Aunt Li was frightened by his tongue. Even though she knew that the dishes wouldn't be touched, she still went back to the kitchen and made some new dishes.

Gregory opened the door of Elli's room and walked in, while Aunt Li whispered behind him, "Alas, it's all the sins from the previous life."

'Well, she really got to the point.' Gregory thought to himself.
