I didn't sleep all night.Until a little after 4 o'clock in the morning,I heard the sound of the door opening and guessed that Wendy was back.
But I listened carefully for a long time and didn't hear the sound of him entering the room.I put on my coat and walked to the living room curiously.When I turned on the light,I was shocked and screamed at the scene in front of me.
Wendy was lying on the living room floor like a dead person.Blood was still flowing out of his face continuously.His clothes all over his body were also torn to pieces...
I felt sorry for him and wanted to help him up,but he pushed me away roughly and said viciously,"I was beaten like this because of you!What are you pretending for now?"
"I'm calling the police now!"I said and picked up my phone to call the police.
Wendy snatched my phone and threw it out hard.Maybe it pulled some part of his body,and he grimaced in pain and let out a"hiss".
"Do you think I was beaten too lightly?If you call the police,neither of us will be able to live!"He staggered up and was about to walk to the bathroom.I supported him,and he didn't refuse.
The shower water slowly washed away the blood on Wendy's body,leaving large and small cuts on his fair skin.I carefully applied medicine to him,and tears of pain and regret couldn't stop flowing down.
If I hadn't run away,maybe Wendy wouldn't have suffered like this.But if I had stayed,what would have awaited me?
I didn't dare to think about it,but I knew that if I had to choose again,I would definitely choose to stay.
Wendy got up very late.His face was horribly swollen.But he still stubbornly refused to go to the hospital.I could only take a leave of absence to stay and take care of him.
"I promised Uncle Biao...to take you to Lingyunxiao the night after tomorrow..."Wendy said these words without looking at me,as if he was very guilty.
Lingyunxiao was the most expensive nightclub in the city and was also one of Uncle Biao's industries.
I knew that this Uncle Biao wouldn't let me go so easily,but I also didn't expect Wendy to agree to him so easily.We both knew what would await me if I went.
"Can't we call the police?I don't believe..."
"It's useless.That way we'll just die a worse death..."Wendy interrupted me impatiently.
"So you're determined to let me go?No matter what happens?"To be honest,I was full of expectations that Wendy would say no.After all,his family also had some influence in the city,and there should always be a way to save me from the fire and water.
But he fell silent.
My heart was like dead ashes.
"Zoe,just this once,okay?I promise you that after this is over,I'll take you to live in another city.Wherever you want to go,we'll go.We'll get married and have a bunch of kids..."Wendy looked at me with almost pleading eyes.
After being together for so long,this was the first time he had begged me and also the first time he had mentioned marriage to me.
I admit that the big"pie"he painted was very appealing to me.I softened my heart again and thought that even if I had to go through fire and water,I would do it without hesitation.
Seeing that I readily agreed,Wendy hugged me tightly as if he had grasped a life-saving straw,as if he had completely forgotten about his injuries.
I once again fell into the tender trap he had woven for me.
But if I had known what would happen later,would I have agreed to him so readily?
