"Are you out of your mind?" Luna frowned and said, "Angela..."
Angela continued, "Please don't say anything, I'll take the blame for the mistakes I 'made'.
I want a moment for myself. Please go back, Luna."
Angela interrupted her in a hoarse voice.
Luna wanted to say something, but she hesitated for a moment and cut it short,
"OK."
She paused for a moment and added, "You can have half an hour, if you're not back by then, I'll come and find you."
"Yes."
Angela answered and tried to force a smile, but then she failed and said, "Thank you, Luna."
Luna sighed lightly and shoved her phone to Angela, "Don’t forget the time."
Angela nodded and said.
"I'm twenty years old, Luna! Don't take me as a three or four-year-old kid who could be abducted at any moment."
"You're a lot more worrisome than a child,"
Luna said.
Angela pursed her lips and played with the phone in her hand, silent.
"I'll leave you alone."
Luna waved at Angela and left. She turned and looked back several times.
The dark sky had no stars and no moon. Angela could only feel the fresh air after the rain and a few lamps on the grass. This place was frighteningly empty.
But for Angela, it was the only place that would allow her to relax for a moment.
She let out a long breath and stood in a daze for a moment. She had the feeling that someone was watching her.
She glanced back around, only to see a blur figure disappeared at the entrance to the inpatient unit.
Maybe it was weird that a woman stood here in the middle of the night, and passersby cast a glance at her out of curiosity.
Angela smiled to herself, after two years in prison, she was a bit overly sensitive.
"Angela?"
A man called her name, and the voice sounded familiar.
Angela's body stiffened and she frowned in disgust. She didn’t turn around or make any response.
The person who call her names got no response. So he called out again, "Is that Angela?"
Immediately afterwards, Angela heard footsteps approaching.
Angela pursed her lips. She didn’t wanting to see this person, so she lifted her feet to walk towards the opposite direction.
Seeing her leaving, the footsteps behind her sounded a little faster. Then the man surpassed her and stood in front of her.
Under the cold incandescent light, the man's handsome face was so lear, and his amber eyes were tinged with a bit of fatigue and anger at the moment. He asked, "Why didn't you answer me?"
Angela looked at him indifferently. Her heart, which had been softened by the empty silence, had more disgust and hatred at this point. She replied, "Is there any rules saying that I have to answer Mr. Smith every time?"
"Angela, why do you have to talk to me like that?"
Danis grabbed her arm. There were anger and disappointment in his eyes.
Angela, however, only found his look disgusting. She shook off his hand and said coldly,
"I told you a long time ago that I hope you could stay away from me. I don't want to hear your mother and your sister say that I seduce you!"
She finished speaking and was about to leave, but her was suddenly clutched by Danis. Then he pulled her into his arms.
"You know I can't let you go. Why are you doing this to me?"
Danis' voice was full of pain, and he questioned as he held her tightly.
"Why can't you forget James after he broke your leg and sent you to prison?" Dansi asked with a trembling voice.
Angela was a bit weak because she was recovering from a serious illness. She struggled for a while but at last, she failed to break free from his hug. She was so annoyed and yelled,
