At three o'clock in the afternoon, Viola and Jennifer returned to the villa.
"What's wrong?" Viola was hold by Jennifer.
"Look at the second floor." Said Jennifer, raising her chin.
Viola looked up and found that the study on the second floor was widely opened, which meant
To verify what she was thinking, Jennifer winked at Viola and smiled with full encouragement. "Now or never, go ahead."
As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed Viola upstairs.
Having no choice, Viola came to the door of the study on the second floor and knocked.
"What's up?" As soon as Maynard raised his head and saw her, he frowned without being noticed. "Come in," he said
Viola nodded and walked in.
She saw that his head was wrapped with gauze and his face was somewhat morbid white. She paused and asked, "Is the wound in the back of your brain okay?"
"I'll be all right in a few days." With his hands on his abdomen, Maynard casually leaned against the back of the chair and said, "You didn't seem to have told me why you came."
Viola smiled bitterly and suddenly tightened her left hand which held the amulet. "Actually, there's nothing serious. I just saw you yesterday at the temple."
"No, you are wrong." Maynard said coldly with an expressionless face.
"Yes, I may have a short sight, so it's natural that I make a mistake," answered Viola
Maynard wore a foxy smile and looked at her silently.
Hearing that, a thin layer of cold sweat was immediately shown on Viola's face, which made her hair stand on end. She forced a smile and said, "Mr. Chu, I'm at the temple..."
"You just need to give birth to the baby. Don't care about anything else..." Maynard interrupted her coldly, with an impatient expression on his face.
Viola held the amulet more and more tightly and rolled her eyes. "Yes, you are right!"
A gust of rage rose in her heart, and she turned around and ran out.
Maynard pressed the position near to his temple and went on with his work.
Thirty minutes later, he went downstairs.
When Jennifer came out of the kitchen, she saw Maynard and smiled unkindly. "Mr. Chu, what do you think about receiving the love token from Viola?"
"What the hell?" Maynard frowned.
"What?" murmured Jennifer with shock
He didn't receive it?
What happened?
A trash can was on the right side of the street two hundred meters away. Holding the amulet in her hand, she wanted to throw it but was not willing to.
She was furious as she thought of the fact that she was about to give something to Maynard, but before she could give it to him, he had already warned her.
"Come and catch me, but you can't!"
At this time, a seven-year-old boy with a schoolbag on his back made a face to the back of the boy who was eight years old.
When the eight-year-old boy rushed over, the seven-year-old boy ran past Viola, but his backpack accidentally bumped into her.
She staggered and almost fell down. When she steadied herself, the amulet in her hand fell into the trash can in front of her.
Viola looked at the two little boys running away, and touched her forehead helplessly.
She struggled for nearly a minute while looking at the amulet lying on the trash can. At last, she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet. She reached for the trash can and picked it up.
The passers-by looked at her strangely.
Noticing the stains on the amulet, Viola realized that she had spent a lot of money on it. She felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"Boom!"
A lightning tore the calm sky, and the rain began to fall.
It never occurred to her that it would rain. Viola got stunned.
