I didn’t notice.
After a while, the man said: “Stop under the banyan tree ahead.”
I said: “Okay.”
The car stopped steadily by the roadside. The man’s gun was still pointed at me. As he got out, I retrieved my bag and calmly searched through it in front of him, aying: “I have medicine for wounds here.”
Juring this half hour, the smell of blood in the car had grown stronger. I knew the other party was probably seriously injured.
he man paused but didn’t acknowledge me, getting out of the car directly. His figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
ince the other party wouldn’t accept this goodwill, I didn’t force it, turning the steering wheel to leave.
few minutes later, the man boarded the boat that was waiting for him, removing his hat and mask.
t this moment, his phone rang. While having someone treat his wounds, he answered the call.
efore he could speak, Ethan urgently said: “Evan, are you okay? My people said they didn’t pick you up. Where are you?”
There was an accident, but I’m at the dock now.”
That’s good. How did this happen? You scared me to death!”
fter hanging up, Evan looked at the tall banyan tree in the distance, lost in thought.

is considerate side of Ferris was something I had never seen.
stood there, motionless.
shley looked at me with surprise: “What a coincidence, you’re here too. Today Ferris said he’d let me have dinner at the villa. Surely you don’t mind, do you?”
instinctively glanced at Ferris, but he showed no reaction.
is coldness was more hurtful than any words.
his villa was bought when we were newlyweds. I never thought he would bring Ashley here too.
ow much he must yearn to be with her all the time.
this were before, I would have made a big scene, absolutely refusing to let another woman set foot in our love nest.
ut now, I no longer cared.
Ve returned to the villa. As soon as the door opened, Ferris immediately sensed something was wrong–many familiar furnishings were missing, and items sually placed in the cabinets were gone.
le frowned slightly but then resumed his cold expression, as if this had nothing to do with him.
he butler came out to greet us. Seeing me, he couldn’t help asking: “Luna, why are so many things missing from the house?”
1 paused.
Even the butler noticed the abnormality, yet he remained silent.
His indifference couldn’t be more obvious.
“I threw away some old stuff,” I smiled gently, “nothing important.”
