Chapter 1078 What to compare with others?
It was late at night and the night was extraordinarily cold.
All she had on was the thin, tattered cotton jacket and trousers that the group of father and sons had given her to change into.
The cold wind has long since blown through.
She shivered in the cold.
She was still holding on, not daring to stop for a moment.
Because she knew that she wasn’t really safe as long as she didn’t actually leave the place.
Her Robert is waiting for her.
She must hurry back.
She really regretted now that she had listened to the threats of the two Moore family elders.
If she hadn’t listened then, she would have had a different outcome.
Biting her lip hard, Zoe continued on, not daring to stop.
It was a long walk until dawn, when Zoe just couldn’t walk any more.
This time, she saw the road.
It was a tarmac road, except that on the road, there were no cars at all.
In the distance, there is a road sign.
It says, directions to M City.
This is a hundred kilometres from it.
This place, which she knew, was a poor city far away from Flento City.
So, she had been sold to the mountain village below this city.
At this point, she was hungry and tired.
Grab a handful of dried grass at a random roadside and hold it in her hand.
She eats as she walks.
Trying to maintain their stamina.
She knew that she was not, as yet, absolutely safe to sit down and rest.
The intense exhaustion made her eyes giddy and her feet heavy as if they had been filled with lead.
The skin of the bruised foot is completely bloody and dripping with pus.
Still, Zoe didn’t dare to stop and had to hold on.
Her feet have frozen numb and the pain is not so obvious when she walks.
This is what she feels most relieved about.
On the edge of the empty road, Zoe has been following the roadside cues towards the location of M City.
Even if she doesn’t see anyone on the road, if she can get to a busier downtown area, she’ll have a way.
Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario.
She was sure that she would be able to meet someone.
As we walked until sunrise, Zoe saw a truck passing by.
As if she were floating in the sea and saw the rescuers, she waved towards the truck with all her strength like a madman.
But the truck didn’t stop.
Immediately, Zoe was once again lost.
Trying to compose herself, she continued to take one step forward.
It was only exhaustion combined with the cold that made her steps more and more difficult.
At this moment she was, as it were, an old man with a hobbled gait.
After a few steps, she saw another black Santana car coming not far away.
She instantly rushed to the middle of the road towards the car, and opened her arms.
At this moment, her heart was once again hopeful and she kept praying.
Hopefully the car will stop.
Soon the car stopped in front of her, as expected.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She instantly walked to the car, tapped on the window and said with an eager face, “Can you do me a favour? Take me to M City.”
Once she reached M City and found the police, she was not afraid that she would not be able to return.
The car glass was dirty.
Through the dirty glass, she saw a female driver sitting inside.
The woman is middle-aged, but looks like a nice person.
Soon the woman nodded.
She got straight into the car at once.
The woman subconsciously sized her up before asking with a disgusted look on her face, “How did you get into this mess?”
At the woman’s question, Zoe began to tell of her experiences.
When the woman heard this, she then became angry, “Is that so hateful? Let’s go, I’ll take you to M City right away to call the police.”
At the sound of this, Zoe’s heart burst with joy.
The woman in front of her was her only hope in her despair.
It is like a beam of light in the darkness of the night, illuminating the whole world.
Zoe was instantly more aggrieved.
Her tears flowed more and more frantically.
Soon the woman started the car.
With one kick of the accelerator, the car was further and further away from where she was suffering.
When the car arrived in M City, the woman took Zoe to the police station.
After Zoe explained the situation to the police, a police car was dispatched to take Zoe all the way to the location of Flento City.
The journey was emotional all the way.
Although, unbearably dark things had happened to her before, thankfully, God still had some mercy on her.
At least she was allowed to escape.
The car kept driving for two whole days and nights, and she was finally brought to Flento City.
Following her directions, the police officers made their way, taking her to the entrance of the Dream Garden.
At the sight of the luxurious Dream Garden, the policeman driving the car, let out a gasp, “You actually live in such a nice place?”
Zoe nodded, “Yes, thank you for sending me back, come with me, go in and have a cup of tea.”
She wanted to thank the police officer properly.
Only the next moment, she suddenly changed her mind.
Suddenly she didn’t want to go in.
What would Robert think if he saw her at this moment?
Will Robert accept her?
Will he be uncomfortable for the rest of his life?
When she was in danger, she didn’t think that much about it.
Later on, she was so absorbed in the joy of escaping danger that she didn’t think about it.
But now that she’s completely calm, she can’t stop thinking about it.
Between thoughts, she once again set her sights on the Dream Garden.
Looking far through the hollowed-out iron gate, she saw large red wedding letters posted all over the Dream Garden.
It looked like a happy event had just taken place.
Immediately afterwards, she saw a woman who was walking inside the small garden.
The woman, in a white duffle coat with a long white skirt, looked immaculately clean.
Who is that?
Could it be that the Moore family had arranged a bride for Robert?
She’s only been gone for a month or so and Robert is getting married?
The Moore family can be really swift.
She knew that it must be the two Moore family members who threatened.
But, from a distance, that woman knew very noble.
A million times better than the raggedy mess she is now.
She has even less courage to go near Robert.
The bride the Moore family has arranged for Robert must be a rich girl.
And what about her?
What does she have to compare with that girl?
Now she was left with nothing, tortured by the four men and covered in filth.
What nerve does she have to compete with that girl?
Even if Robert now chooses her, is there any guarantee that he won’t really think about the disgust, dislike her and regret it later?
“Didn’t you say you wanted to sit down? It’s just as well I haven’t seen such a nice mansion yet, so I’ll go in for a tour.” The policeman looked at the Dream Garden with interest and said.
At those words, Zoe’s heart, at once, throbbed hard.
She snapped back to her senses and shook her head, “Forget it, let’s go.”
