When Kerr walked to the door and saw it was Eric, he was surprised too. "Eric?" How did he find here?
"Mr. Kerr." Eric took back his position and stood straight.
"You came for Lily?" Asked Kerr tentatively.
"Yes." Eric nodded.
Andrew gave him a glance and then looked at his father. He asked, "Father, do you know each other?"
Dad? He was the son of the school manager?
A tinge of surprise flashed across Eric's black eyes, and then disappeared. What he cared about was Lily.
"Yes." Kerr nodded, "He is a student of our school. Thanks to him, Lily was saved last time."
Upon hearing these words, Andrew couldn't help casting a glance at Eric. Only in this way could he treat him better, at least not as aggressive as before.
Kerr looked back at Eric and said, "You can't stand for a long time. Come in quickly."
Then he took Andrew's hand and made way for him.
"Thank you, Mr. Kerr." Then Eric walked on his crutch into the room.
Kerr smiled and said, "I told you last time. You can call me uncle Kerr just like Lily did."
"Okay, uncle Kerr." Eric corrected himself.
But Andrew, who walked behind them, was a little unhappy. He didn't feel good about Eric.
After entering the house, Kerr led Eric to the living room. "Have a seat. I'll go check if Lily got up." Then he turned around and went upstairs.
Eric did not sit down, but stood on his crutch, as if he was preparing for something.
While Andrew kept staring at him, with some kind of hostility in his eyes.
When Kerr walked to the door Tina's her bedroom, he knocked at it and put down his hand, waiting for the reply.
"Come in." He waited for a long time until he heard a sleepy reply from inside, and then he pushed the door open and walked in.
After entering the room, he saw only Tina, and did not see Lily.
"Where is Lily?" As he asked, he looked around subconsciously.
"Lily?" Tina was a little confused. She looked sideways at the bedside, only to find that there was no one there. Frightened, she immediately sat up.
When she saw the floor to ceiling window open, she heaved a sigh of relief and pointed at the balcony. "She's there."
Hearing this, he went to the window. When he was approaching, he saw Lily, who was squatting in the corner and crying.
"What's wrong, Lily? Are you feeling sick?" He squatted down in front of her and asked with concern.
With tears in her eyes, Lily shook her head and cried. She didn't want to disturb anyone, but she did.
Seeing her crying and shaking her head, he was worried, "Lily, if you don't feel well, tell uncle. I will take you to the hospital, okay?"
Lily still shook her head. She was not feeling well. How could she see a doctor?
"Lily..." Tina walked to her and asked anxiously, "Tell me, what happened?"
"Woo..." Lily suddenly let go of her hand and cried, but she still didn't say anything, but shook her head.
She turned around and looked at Kerr. They looked at each other. Kerr stood up and said, "I'll call Andrew up."
"Yes." Tina nodded.
They thought Lily was doing the same as yesterday, so the first thing came to their mind was to ask Andrew to come upstairs.
This time, Lily didn't cry sadly, but felt wronged and a little guilty.
Yes, she felt guilty. Even she herself didn't know why she felt guilty. She just wanted to cry as soon as she received Eric's call.
Kerr asked Andrew to come here, but Eric was followed.
Seeing them coming over, Tina stood up and gave way to them.
"Lily." Andrew walked up to her, squatted down and asked with concern, "Do you feel that..."
Before he could finish his words, Lily shook her head and burst into tears.
Seeing her so distracted, Andrew also didn't know what to do.
On the other hand, Eric's brows knitted in astonishment. He walked a few steps forward with his walking stick and said in a low voice, "How long are you going to cry?"
Hearing this voice, Lily suddenly raised her head and looked at him with her red and swollen eyes unbelievably. Then she cried, "Woo..."
All the people frozen. Only Eric was still awake. He bent down with difficulty to pull her.
Seeing his hand reaching out, Lily took a step back and slid to the ground.
"Get up." He ordered.
Lily shook her head, and then moved a few steps backward in this gesture.
"I say you should get up!" Eric frowned deeply.
As if she was frightened, Lily stood up from the ground, but she took a few steps backward to keep a distance from Eric.
Seeing that she kept away from him like this, Eric got angry as never before. With great fury in his black eyes, he ordered, "Come here."
"Tell me. I want to know everything."
Lily looked up at him sheepishly and then turned to the bedroom. "Come in and have a seat. Your legs will hurt if you stand for a long time."
He didn't refuse her proposal and let her lead him into the room.
"Go ahead," Just as she sat down on the chair, Eric said.
After taking a look at him, Lily, who was standing in front of Eric, bowed her head and tightened her lips. "I was kidnapped by a group of people and was rescued in time by Andrew."
"That's it?" He asked. Apparently, he didn't believe it.
"Yes." She nodded with a guilty conscience.
His black eyes fixed on her face. Eric pressed his thin lips and said nothing. He just stared at her, while the time seemed to be still.
After a long time, there was no response, so Lily quietly raised her head. But at the moment when she raised her head, she saw Eric's eyes. She suddenly had a feeling that she wanted to escape.
"I have told you that you will not lie to me." Eric said indifferently, "I know you're telling the truth, but that's not what I want to hear."
Without anger or prestige, this faint tone gives a sense of invisible oppression.
"The bad men have been caught." Lily said in a low voice.
Seeing that she had no intention to tell him what he wanted to say, Eric's face darkened. He spat out two words, "Come here."
"We… It's very close." Her voice was very weak.
Taking a deep breath secretly, as if he was trying to suppress something, he said again, "Come here."
Hearing his words, Lily stepped closer to him.
Eric suddenly stood up, quickly and accurately tore her clothes off without a crutch.
"What?" Lily was frightened and took a step back. She looked at him with her eyes wide open, "You..."
"If you're fine, what's going on?" Ignoring her nervousness, Eric asked her with a frown.
"I... I..." Lily didn't know what to do, so she held her clothes tighter and lowered her head.
"Don't you want to tell me?"
"I'm afraid you'll be unhappy if you know it."
"I will be worried if you don't tell me!"
Lily looked up at him and stammered, "Well… Those people want to do to me… I wanted to fight back, but four or five people were controlling me. I... I couldn't I had no choice but to give up. When they were about to succeed, Andrew came here with the police."
