Jane escaped back to the hospital in the middle of the night.
Yes, she ran away!
Her heart was pounding. She was not sure if it was out of fear or something.
No matter what, she realized Louis was dangerous!
She really thought of Louis as a friend, but Louis actually wanted to sleep with her!
Anyone else would be freaked out under such circumstances!
There was a mirror in the hospital bathroom. Even though it was dimly lit, Jane could clearly see a hickey on her collarbone.
She rummaged through her bag and found a Band-Aid for kids with pink strawberries printed on it.
She was somewhat speechless after she put it on.
Well, though the Band-Aid looked childish, it at least covered the hickey and saved her trouble!
After adjusting her mindset, Jane went to Vivian's room where Vivian was reading a fairy tale book. When she heard Jane's voice, she looked up and immediately became overjoyed.
"Mommy!"
Vivian's sweet and lovely smile instantly made Jane's heart melt. Yet complicated emotions flooded her heart the next second.
Tomorrow, should she continue working for Louis? If not, she had quit all other part-time jobs and finding another high-paying job would take some time. Plus, she had to afford Vivian's medical bills!
But if she went to work...
"Mommy! What happened to your neck?" The thoughtful little Vivian reached out and touched the Band-Aid on Jane's neck.
"It's nothing! I just got bit by a mosquito..." said Jane with an awkward smile.
Yes! That's right! Just pretend like it's just one mosquito bite...
She decided that no matter what happened between her and Louis, she could separate work from private affairs.
Besides, Louis was often busy at work. There wouldn't be any unnecessary trouble if she finished the job before he went back home.
Jane built up her courage before smiling again at Vivian and telling bedtime stories.
In the next few days, Louis noticed that everything was clean in his villa with hot meals prepared every night he went home, but there was no sign of Jane.
Louis didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
