My dear lawyer novel Chapter 313

William suddenly let go of Vivian, and turned his back to Vivian. She watched his tall and straight figure and heard him say with his low voice like the wind blowing on the cliff, “Vivian, you are bound to come back to me and beg me for help.”

He was assured.

Vivian’s heart trembled and fear puffed out from her heart like steam from boiling water. She had to leave regardless of what William said.

Vivian walked toward the door with her back straightened even though she was panicked to death.

She didn’t look back, and the door was closed quietly.

Right after the door was closed, William swept a pair of mugs off the table, which soon shattered into pieces on the floor. One of them had scars as they were bought from flea market by Vivian when she and William just moved into the apartment.

Those mugs are a pair. There was a time when Vivian accidently bumped a part off the mug, and cried secretly in the toilet.

He specially asked someone to get the mug fixed. He remembered the joy on Vivian’s face after seeing it intact again. From then on, she treated the fixed mug more carefully and didn’t use the mug anymore.

William took the mugs out again after she left, which was quite ironic. Why would he bother himself to take the mugs out?

Vivian heard some noises from behind the door, stopped for a while, and left with no hesitation.

She used to make her friends and loved ones worried, and she cannot be so reckless anymore.

When Vivian walked on the street, it was dark all around, except a few road lamps giving off dim light. Summer was almost over unnoticed. The wind blowing on the street was a bit cold, making Vivian’s shoulders shaking.

Vivian went to a convenient store to call Selina.

“Selina, I...”

Before she could utter a sentence, Selina already cut her off, “Vivi, Where the hell are you? Do you know we all are extremely worried about you? John is looking for you everywhere like crazy!”

“I am sorry for that.” Vivian paused for a few seconds. She was suppressing her bitterness and trying to cheer herself up. Finally she said in a light tone, “I... I am okay.”

“Let’s cut the crap out. Just tell me where you are and we will come to you soon.” She can hardly explain clearly on the phone, but if possible, she would like to cross directly from the other end of the phone.

Vivian held the phone, and looked around, trying to for some iconic buildings, but she failed. It was too dark outside. Vivian said to Selina, “I... I have no idea.”

“...” Selina take a deep breath, restraining the urge to yell at Vivian, “Ask someone!”

Vivian, probably just freaked out by William, didn’t realize what she could do until she heard Selina’s advice. Immediately, she asked the shop owner and told Selina where she was. She then realized that she was far away from William’s apartment.

“Selina, is John with you?”

“No, wait for me there. We’ll soon be there. I’ll call John.” Selina knew what Vivian was thinking.

Selina sighed and said, “He cares so much about you!” Even Selina who was stony felt sad for John when she watched what he did for Vivian.

Vivian held the phone tightly and answered in a low voice, “I know.”

Selina said, “Okay. Don’t go anywhere; we will arrive there in half an hour.” Selina hung up and called John. John hung up the second he knew where Vivian was.
