Chapter 5 No.5

The phone of Rylan rang. The Bluetooth was connected automatically.

I heard the sound of Zoe clearly echoing in the car.

"Rylan, I have sprained my ankle."

All of a sudden, Rylan stepped on the brake and stopped the car at the roadside. Because of inertia, I leaned forward a little and my forehead was injured.

Rylan just glanced at me with disgust.

"Can you be more stable? You are not a child anymore, Stella."

I was stunned. I wanted to say something, but suddenly I felt that it was useless to say anything.

"Zoe has sprained her ankle," sighed Rylan.

When he saw that I didn't say anything, he became much unhappier.

"Get out of the car. I'm going to see her."

"Who is your wife, Rylan?"

"Stella!" Rylan seemed to be so angry.

"Zoe just came back. She has no relatives here. She is different from you. She needs someone to take care of her."

"She needs someone to take care of her. Don't I need it?"

At this moment, I lost my temper. I didn't want to be angry with him, but I couldn't help it.

I didn't want to cry, but I couldn't help crying out.

Rylan fell into silence.

He looked even more irritated.

"Stella, you are an independent woman. If you are afraid of darkness, you can turn on the light. If you are lonely, you can keep a dog. If you can't cook, you can order the food delivery. If you are sick, you are a doctor yourself. You can take care of yourself, but Zoe is different. She can't live without me."

She couldn't live without him...

What Rylan said lingered in my ears.

I looked at him. At this moment, I suddenly felt that he was very strange, and it seemed that I had never really known him.

I sighed. Then I opened the door and got out of the car.

Rylan didn't even look at me.

The moment I got out of the car, he stepped on the gas and sped away, disappearing in an instant.

It could be seen that he was really worried about Zoe.

He had never taken me seriously.

I looked around and found it was so dark now that I couldn't even get a taxi.

It was so cold that I wrapped my arms around myself, hoping that I could dispel the coldness in this way.

The five-year marriage between us was like a big joke at this moment.

I walked along this dark road, hoping to get a taxi.

Maybe God heard my pray. A car suddenly stopped in front of me.

The car window was rolled down, and the man's gentle voice came.

"Stella, it's not easy to take a taxi here. Where are you going? Let me drive you there."

I looked at the man in front of me in a daze and almost forgot to breathe.

He seemed to... He seemed to be an old friend of mine.

"Stella?"

I came to my senses, simply thanked him and got in the car.

The man told me his name was Wesley Harris and I had rescued his grandfather.
