With Howard's narrow eyes squinted, he was too heartbroken to say a word.
He didn't dare to use the disinfectant. He simply put some powder on the blood soaked pool, and then adjusted his posture to put a pillow under her feet.
"Beggar, tell me, who is that woman, and those pictures And what happened? " Nina frowned and seemed to have something on her mind.
Feeling a little surprised, Howard bent over and asked in a soft voice like a beggar, "honey, which woman? What are those photos about?"
"Beggar?" All of a sudden, Nina opened her eyes and sat up. When she saw that it was Mr. Howard, she said angrily, "Mr. Howard, don't peep at me. Go to sleep!"
While speaking, she moved a little bit towards the bed, leaving most space for Howard.
Howard lay down beside the bed and thought, 'Nina must have been instigated by someone to look for a beggar, or there is something he doesn't know in it.
But Nina was so defensive that he could not get anything from her.
He slowly approached Nina and gently held her in his arms. "Honey, what on earth have you known?"
Hearing Howard's reply, Nina breathed evenly.
The night was as dark as ink. After Howard fell asleep, their door was suddenly locked. Then a fat figure came in.
It was a dark night. The black figure murmured, stretching out his hands.
He was the owner of the hotel.
Since he saw Howard's wallet, he became evil. He secretly opened the door with the spare key in the dark and came in.
However, he stood quietly in the room for a while, but the light was still dim. He could only reach the bed by memory.
When he opened the door, Howard woke up. As a cultivator, he was extremely sensitive to voice at night.
When the fat man put his hand into his pocket, Howard took the opportunity to grasp his wrist. Then he kicked the man and he fell to the ground with a howl.
"Who?" Nina jumped off the bed in horror.
The light was on. Howard stepped on the man's head and reached out to take off his black hood.
"So you mean that you own a secret shop?" With a sneer, he continued, "it's just that you are unlucky to meet me today. You have broken up with a gangster."
"Yes No, I can't. sir, I swear it's really my first time. I never did it before. I saw so many gold cards and lost my mind in money. That's why I did such a stupid thing. Please forgive me! " The fat man was shivering, with water stains all over his body.
"Since you don't have the guts, don't do such a dirty thing, understand?" But he was kicked away by her.
When Nina saw the urine stained on the ground, she couldn't help retching.
She put on the bloodstained socks and put on her high heels. "Mr. Howard, let's go!" Disdaining to look at the man on the ground again, she limped out.
Suddenly, there was a thunder in the sky and it began to rain.
Without hesitation, Howard ran out and cried, "Nina, it's going to rain. Where are you going?"
"Where are you going? You can't stay here. B city is too dark, isn't it?" Nina's foot was so painful that she couldn't help taking a breath at every step.
The rain was growing heavier.
Howard took off his shirt and covered it over Nina's head. "Let me carry you, okay?"
Nina shook her head, "No."
She didn't want his pity and sympathy. She wanted to go alone.
Even so, her shoes got wet by the increasingly heavy rain. Her feet were so painful that she could hardly walk.
Finally, Nina stopped. She looked at Howard and said, "Mr. Howard, can I borrow your phone?"
Howard hesitated. It seemed that Nina was going to call the beggar.
But the call was unanswered.
Once the call was answered, the identity of a beggar would be revealed.
Actually, Howard had turned off the phone of the beggar already.
"I'll borrow it for a while. It won't cost you much." Nina kept crying.
Without saying anything, he put his phone in Nina's hand.
"Thank you." With these words, Nina showed the beggar's phone number.
But his phone was switched off.
Lying quietly in Howard's trousers pocket, the beggar's cell phone suddenly created a lot of hard thorns, pricking his skin.
The pain spread all over his body with Nina's desperate eyes. His voice trembled.
"Honey, maybe your husband is asleep. He didn't hear your phone call." Howard tried to comfort Nina, but could not find appropriate words to say.
Nina smiled sadly, "Howard, my beggar husband never turned off his phone at night before. But recently, he seemed to be different. He did not answer the phone and was indifferent to me. Do you know why? He is outside... "
