Second Marriage

Chapter 395 Get Lost Now

“Cindy? What are you doing?” Someone asked in bewilderment.

“Uncle Chan, they didn’t get mad at us even after such severe injury, so obviously, they are not with the

group we came across. They are good guys!”

Thereupon, the girl called Cindy went to Alice, “Your hand needs immediate treatment before you go to

Hugo with us, and I could help you if you don’t mind.”

Yanis, after a pause, looked to Alice’s scary palm, “Such a severe injury, we’d better go to the doctor.”

She worried the wound would worsen, then that would be knotty.

The girl named Cindy dared not to speak, her eyes staring at Alice with sincerity. Alice thought for a

moment, then a faint smile flickered across her lips, “Then I’m counting on you.”

Hearing that, Yanis suddenly went blue in her face, “Alice ....”

Yet Alice was already striding forward, following the girl named Cindy. Reluctantly, she went along.

After they left, a group of people stayed in situ.

“Shaw, how can you give others such an unprovoked push? Never do it again.”

Shaw, the child who just pushed Alice over, pouted instantly in annoyance, “She is a bad person!”

“As your sister Cindy said, they are not bad people! Did you indeed see them bullying your grandma?”

Shaw nodded.

The senior apparently could neither bear her grandson under fire nor watch the two girls get

misunderstood. At last, she sighed, “They haven’t bullied me, but just talked to me. The boy probably

got a misunderstanding.”

“That is to say ... We were all mistaken about them? They are Hugo’s workmates indeed?”

“We are indeed Hugo’s workmates. We heard from Chloe there’s something wrong with his family, so

we are coming around.”

Hearing Chloe’s name, Cindy's hands froze for a second before going on dealing with Alice’s wound,

and she nodded, “I believe in you. Chloe often visits us, and she is familiar with us all. She ... She likes

Hugo, and pops in his home all the time.”

With that Cindy cast timid eyes on Alice and whispered, "Doesn't it hurt?"

Hearing that, Alice had a short dumb, and then asked, "What's up?"

"Why there's not even one peep from you while I'm treating your wound?" Cindy glanced at the action

of her own hands in confusion, "Some splinters of glass had got into your palm, as well as these wood

craps, which need to be picked out by a needle."

Alice darted a look at her palm without saying anything.

Yanis, standing beside them, spoke with resentment, "How could she not feel any pain? I can feel the

grave pain even by watching. Her silence is out of her toughness."

Over the years, Alice had always kept all only to herself.

She still remembered when Alice was new abroad, yet to become a designer, she once got bullied

during that kind of work and was badly hurt. However, she hadn't said a word until the work was

finished.

Yanis still felt distressed for her at the thought of this.

Hearing that, Cindy didn't say a word and kept treating the wound with her head down.

She also noticed that the woman in front of her appeared to be amazingly tough. She herself could

hardly bear the cruelty from the start of the treatment, while Alice, with drops of sweat oozing

constantly from her fair-skinned forehead, remained without a slight frown.

Having bound up the wound, Cindy whispered, "Remember to keep your hand away from water in the

coming days. And you'd better go to the hospital when you are free, since what I gave you today is just

emergency treatment."

Alice turned to her with a slight smile, "Thank you."

Cindy's cheeks were always rosy, setting off her innocence and kindness. "Let me lead you to Hugo

right now."

"Thanks a lot." Alice and Yanis, led by Cindy, headed to Hugo's home.

Cindy told them a lot about Hugo out of trust on the way. Alice and Yanis now learned that Hugo had

been living a tough life. His mother had been a business girl before marrying his father.

Hugo's father had been a hardworking and self-motivated young man, handsome and charming, Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

adored by a lot of beautiful girls. Somehow or other, he fell in love with a business girl. The two

developed a romantic relationship soon. Then Hugo was born.

They did have a sweet time at first, and little Hugo had been enjoying a happy family life.

However, a few years later, Hugo's mother showed her unchanging nature by returning to her joyhouse

to make money, dreaming to restore her luxurious and indulgent life. She resented Hugo's father for his

incompetence in providing her a life of ease.

Afterward, the silent treatment alternated with quarrels, and even a fight could be possible.

Later, Hugo's father became addicted to alcohol. Seeing him going mad with drink, Hugo's mother

insulted him by calling him a drunkard not able to make money before she finally left home without

Hugo and never came back again.

From then on, Hugo's father remained drunk all day long, making little Hugo got along in fear and

uneasiness day after day.

What was worse, Hugo's father became a heavy gambler with mounting debt from the usury, which

now fell on Hugo as a matter of course.

Usury.

It was utterly awful.

The more you owed, the faster interest expanded. With only one day overdue, the interest

compounded for one more day.

With one month overdue, the interest compounded for one more month.

As it continued, the payment could be unaffordable.

Cindy stopped in front of an old house.

"Hugo always appears indifferent, yet ... It's not that he isn't willing to make friends. He just wants not to

get others in trouble. Those people, often knock on his door demanding repayment. And they will

harass anyone they find closed to Hugo."

Upon hearing this, Alice paused for a second. She couldn't help giving a glance at Cindy.

So was that why the teen was so solitary?

She had presumed it's for his upbringing, but she hadn't expected that ....

"You can wait here. Let me go in first."

Cindy stopped and then began to enter the house.

On her stepping in, Chloe came out with tears streaming down her face, running across them right face

to face.

The four froze for a second, then Chloe approached Alice, and said indignantly, "What are you doing

here? Don't imagine that Hugo will accept your flattery. Get lost now."

Alice looked at her neglectfully, without any reply.

Yanis got dumbstruck, then said, "We are coming just to visit him. It has nothing to do with you, doesn't

it?"

Chloe gave a sniff of anger before turning on her feet.

After she left, Yanis said she thought Chloe’s behavior unaccountable.

At that moment, a mighty bang came out from the house, sounding like something had been smashed

hard against the ground. Soon after, a slim teen in a white shirt walked out.

"Get out, you jinx. Get lost now."
