Chapter 1961
Seeing that, Jared was ignited with fury. “What a load of nonsense.” Immediately, he realized that Ellen waking up late recently and her weak mental state seemed to be connected to this issue.
“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you.” Jared wrapped her into his embrace and led her back into the living room. Once they were both seated on the couch, he took her phone and dialed the number back, only to be notified that the number didn’t exist.
At the same time, he discovered that she had more than fifty missed calls, and some of them were made at midnight, making it clear that this was not just simple harassment. He then opened her text messages and was met with a pile of terrifying messages, which he deleted for her.
“Have you not been sleeping well for the past two days because these calls have been harassing you at night?” Jared asked, his eyes narrowing.
Ellen nodded. “Yes. I thought it was just a prank at first, but I didn’t expect them to go so far.”
“I’ll take care of it tomorrow and make sure that they pay the price.” At that, he turned off her phone and let out a sigh before pulling her into his arms.
“I told you to tell me immediately if anyone. picks on you, no matter what it is,” he said to her in a low and firm voice. With the warmth and security emanating from him, Ellen felt the fear dissipating from her heart, and she said with a nod, “Okay, I will!”
Jared headed to the car and retrieved her dinner while he sat next to her with his laptop, watching her eat as if he were her parent. With him beside her, Ellen felt as if nothing could hurt her anymore, and her mind was soon cleared of the horrifying thoughts that had been plaguing her.
Jared raised his head and asked, “Can you sleep alone tonight?”
After giving it some thought, Ellen nodded. “Yes.”
Jared coughed lightly at her answer. He’d hoped that she would be afraid, but she was surprisingly brave enough. In that case, there was nothing else he could say.
