Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 196

There were many people coming and going in the street. It seemed that everyone was smiling with joy and happiness. They walked side-by-side in twos and threes. Some of them put their arms around their friends' shoulders once in in a while, talking and laughing. Some of them looked sweet and shy with their arms around their lovers' waist. Some of them shared interesting stories in small groups. Adelaide was alone and therefore looked lonelier when compared with these people.

Adelaide sniffed and had a lump in her throat as if she were going to cry. She managed to stop herself from weeping, stumbling aimlessly along the way.

She knew neither where to go nor where she could go. Different from the last quarrel, she felt a little desperate after quarreling with Hanna this time. She had a strong feeling that she would lost the friendship with Hanna and she could never become reconciled with her.

"Beep!"

"Are you fucking blind?"

Fortunately, the driver stopped the car successfully when the car nearly knocked Adelaide down, but he was so angry that he put his head out of the window to scold Adelaide.

Hearing this, Adelaide gathered her wits. After she looked up and saw the red light on the opposite side, she retreated to the zebra crossing in a daze without saying a word.

Seeing the leading car stop when they were allowed to go, drivers all sounded their horns. Soon, there was a deafening sound of horn. The driver dared not stop here anymore and started the car after spitting out of the window. Before leaving, he was still cursing, "Why not jump off a building if you want to kill yourself? Fuck!"

Adelaide continued to walk slowly. However, she didn't learn from this lesson. She crossed several roads and different drivers reacted in the same way as the former driver, but she didn't care.

By the river, she took off her shoes and rolled up her trousers, after which she put her feet into the river and felt the wind and water. However, she could not calm herself down.

She was worried that the media would use the news as a weapon and exaggerate the details, causing irreparable damage to Hanna's reputation. What's worse, Hanna's boyfriend was really not reliable at all.

It never rains but it pours. Adelaide's mind wandered.

"Atishoo!"

Adelaide was no longer lost in thought after she sneezed. Then, she took a packet of tissue out of her pocket and wiped her nose. It was getting dark and it was cool, even cold here. Therefore, she buttoned her collar round her neck. With short sleeves, she had goose bumps on her arms because of coldness. To make herself feel better, she kept rubbing her arms.

When she felt less cold, she stood up and patted her ass. Remembering the bar that Richard took her and Hanna to, she decided to go to find Richard first and persuade him to break up with Hanna.

She took a taxi to the bar street. When she was about to pay, she remembered that she didn't take money with her when she went out. Immediately, she blushed. Knowing customers like her well, the driver quickly locked the door and said with a dark face before Adelaide could say anything, "You have no money with you, right? You can't get off before you pay me. You can ask your family to send money here."

Adelaide bit her lower lip hard. Since she married Antonio, she was seldom worried about money. Gradually, she had forgotten that she should take her wallet and keys with her when she went out. Damla would prepare all these things for her. Today, she left home in a hurry and parked her car in the hospital. After quarreling with Hanna, she left the hospital sadly, totally forgetting that she could drive her car.

She clenched the mobile phone in her hand and finally chose to make a phone call to Aadam.

Aadam was surprised that she called him. After seeing the caller ID, he looked in the mirror and cleared his throat before he answered the phone.
