Chapter 25 I’ve Come Back

Bang! A loud noise sounded as the truck slammed into the taxi. The taxi was instantly dented and deformed. Then the taxi flipped, rolled a few metres on the road, and finally hit the fence heavily. Black smoke rose from the deformed taxi A bloody arm came out of the window. It trembled a few times and stopped moving altogether. The truck slid forward a few meters and finally stopped. A man in black got out of the truck. He slowly walked towards the taxi, squatted down, and looked inside. He lowered his cap to cover his face. He froze for a few seconds, took out his phone, dialed a number, and said in a hoarse voice, "The woman, Lesly is not in the taxi... the driver is dead." The man listened silently for the person on the other end of the phone. He stood up and said, "It doesn’t matter. I can go to her house to kill her. The two children can be considered a free gift. Now tell me where she lives." As he spoke, he heard some movement behind him. So, he looked back with his phone in his hand. Behind him was an empty dark street. The man looked around a while and didn’t find anything suspicious. Then he said, "Ok, tomorrow night, I will go to the hotel and kill her and her children." After the phone call, the man started the truck and left the scene in a hurry. When the truck was far away, Lesly walked out from behind a tree. Because she drank a lot of alcohol, she suddenly felt sick halfway in the car, so she paid for the taxi and got out. She wanted to take a rest after vomiting then go home by car. Unexpectedly, soon after she got off the car, the taxi was knocked over by the truck, and there was a mysterious man, who said on the phone that he would kill her whole family. Lesly clenched her fingers and frowned. This matter could not be solved in an ordinary way. She could only go to Allen. A few days ago, when her house was set on fire, she asked him for help. If she asked him for help now, she would use up two favors. When she used up all three favors, Allen would appear beside her. Just thinking about it gave Lesly a headache. Allen was also troublesome. Lesly was feeling helpless when her phone vibrated. It was a call from Harry. "Harry." Lesly immediately answered the phone. "What’s wrong? What happened?" After divorcing Gavin, Harry had been taking care of Lesly and her children. Even Lesly’s surgery was done by Harry himself. Lesly cared about Harry very much. She answered the phone very carefully and nervously. Harry chuckled and said in a gentle tone, "Can’t I just call you?" Lesly lowered her head and looked at her lonely shadow. She smiled and said, "Of course, did you call me tonight just to chat?" "No, I’m here to tell you that I’ve come back," Harry said. "I’m still worried about you raising the two children alone. So, I came back to help you." Lesly was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "In fact, you don’t have to give yourself so much trouble, I..." "It doesn’t matter," Harry said gently, "Lesly, don’t feel stressed. Taking care of you, Lucca, and Lulu is something I enjoy doing. I do not have other purposes, so you don’t have to feel burdened." But even so, Lesly still felt a lot of pressure. She owed Harry enough. "Where do you live now? I’ll come to see you tomorrow and take Lulu out to play." "I..." Lesly found it difficult to speak. "I’m staying at a hotel now." Harry became serious. "A hotel? Lesly, have you met some trouble recently?" Lesly looked at the car accident not far away, and her eyes darkened. After thinking for a while, she changed her mind. "Actually, it’s a good thing for you to come back. I’m... in big trouble."
