Chapter 250
After saying this, Raegan turned around and ran into the subway station when Henley was distracted.
Since the station was bustling with people, she thought Henley would find it difficult to catch her.
Raegan had already gotten on the train, but she couldn't relax yet.
Her heart still beat abnormally fast.
She didn't expect to see the other side of Henley.
He was so paranoid that it frightened her.
Soon, the train reached the station.
Raegan mixed with the crowd to exit the station, following the people in front of her.
This subway station was less than two kilometers away from her apartment building.
If nothing went wrong, she would reach her apartment in no time.
When she was already near her apartment building, the group of people in front of her turned in another direction and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Raegan felt so uneasy that she quickened her pace.
She could hear the rustling sound of nearing footsteps behind her.
Raegan became wary.
When she felt the footsteps hastened, she quietly clenched the pepper spray in her bag.
Then, she turned around and raised the spray.
The person who passed by her gave her a look as if she was a lunatic.
It was just a passerby.
She was paranoid.
Raegan felt a little relieved.
She put the pepper spray back into her bag.
She started walking again.
But after taking a few steps, she heard someone call her from behind.
"Raegan..." Raegan’s heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously trembled.
She had the urge to run away, but she was forcefully hugged from behind.
Henley's voice sounded gentle and elegant.
"Raegan, I don't want to hurt you.
Just get in the car, okay?" No matter how gentle his voice was, Raegan was still startled.
Her eyes caught sight of a security office nearby.
She shouted at the top of her lungs, "He...” Her voice suddenly stopped because she felt a needle pressing against her waist.
Then, Henley said lightly, "If you run away, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your child.” Her child? Henley knew she was pregnant? Raegan asked in a trembling voice, "What do you want from me?” “Nothing.
I only want to talk to you," Henley replied. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“No, I don't want to," Raegan refused in horror.
The corners of Henley's lips twitched slightly.
“Why? Raegan, I won't hurt you.” Raegan had no choice.
She was forced to get in Henley's car.
She didn't dare to confront him directly, fearing he would hurt her child.
Henley was in the driver's seat.
Suddenly, he leaned over.
Raegan was so startled that she covered her chest and asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do?" “Fasten your seat belt,” Henley gently explained.
He reached out to fasten her seatbelt tenderly.
After fastening her seat belt, he sat upright, started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove forward.
Raegan looked at the dark night outside the window and asked nervously, "Where are you taking me?" ‘Just wait and see for yourself.
We'll be there soon.
If you are tired, you can rest first," Henley replied mysteriously.
But Raegan didn't dare to sleep, let alone close her eyes.
She forced herself to stay awake, watching outside as the car sped through the night.
She noticed they gradually left the populated area, and the surroundings became more and more desolate.
It seemed they were entering the suburbs.
Both sides of the road were pitch black, and there were no signs of living things in the surroundings.
Raegan noticed that the road became increasingly bumpy.
She felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to throw up.
Her face turned pale.
When she could no longer hold back, she pleaded, “Henley, can you stop the car? I am feeling unwell.” But Henley didn't seem to hear Raegan.
He didn't even glance at her.
He just continued driving with his eyes on the road.
After a while, the car finally stopped.
They were in a dark and dilapidated area.
Raegan didn’t think about it anymore.
She hurriedly got out of the car, ran a little farther, and retched up a stream of vomit.
Henley walked over to Raegan and handed her a bottle of water.
But she didn’t take it.
She didn't dare to drink anything he gave her.
In an instant, Henley's face became sullen, and his eyes turned cold.
He pulled Raegan to the side of the house and asked, “Raegan, do you remember this place?” Raegan shook her head.
She really couldn't remember the place.
A trace of sadness flashed through Henley’s eyes, He reminded her, "You once gave candy to a boy here.
You even talked to him.
Don't you remember?" Raegan looked at him with confusion written all over her face.
She explained, "Actually, I don't remember everything about my childhood.” When she was twelve, she had an accident and hit her head.
Because of this, she had forgotten many things, especially her childhood memories.“You lost your memory?" Henley asked.
The usual disguised smile disappeared from his face.
Henley suffered maltreatment and abuse from his crazy mother since he was born.
She blamed him for her failure to become the man's legitimate wife.
She cursed him for coming too late.
For her, he was destined to be a shameful, illegitimate child forever.
When she could no longer bear the suppression of that family, she fled to the countryside with him.
She began to destroy herself, abusing drugs and alcohol.
Then, she always vented her anger on him, beating him with a stick and leaving him hungry for days.
Finally, the day when he gained the ability to fight back against her came.
He even watched her die without a ripple of emotion in his heart.
He thought he would live in the dark for the rest of his life.
But one day, Henley met Raegan.
She was the little girl who gave him candy in the darkest moment of his life.
It was his most unforgettable memory.
But she couldn't remember it.
Raegan looked at Henley's ever-changing expression.
She asked tentatively, "That boy was you? And...
And you thought that girl was me?” From the beginning, she always felt Henley didn't genuinely like her.
His particular obsession with her had to have some special reasons.
Henley corrected her, "No, I don’t only think it is you.
I am certain it is you." He became more and more certain about Raegan’s identity.
Aside from the pendant Raegan wore, her scent and eyes resembled the girl in his memories.
Raegan didn't dare to refute Henley.
Instead, she said, “If we've been friends since we were children, then you shouldn't be hurting me, right?” The pale moonlight poured on Henley's handsome face, making him look gentle and calm.
He stared at her, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Raegan, why do you think I will hurt you? Didn't I promise you I won't hurt you?” “Then...
Can you send me home?” Raegan asked tentatively.
“Of course, I'll take you home,” Henley agreed gently.
Raegan was so nervous that she had no time to distinguish the meaning of his words.
She returned to the car obediently and fastened her seat belt.
A smile appeared on Henley's face while watching her.
He leaned over, making an intimate posture.
He fixed his eyes on her beautiful, rosy lips and said warmly, “Raegan, I like it when you are well- behaved." Henley was really giving Raegan goosebumps now.
She didn't expect him to lean too close to her.
His breathing became uneven, and his thin lips almost touched hers.
Raegan became even more vigilant.
She instinctively moved away.
Not wanting to provoke Henley, she pretended to be shy and said, "Let’s go...
Start the car first." Henley looked at her flushed face, feeling warm in his heart.
He really liked it when she blushed.
He smiled contentedly and started the car.
When the car returned to the highway, Raegan couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief.
But the feeling of relief didn't last long.
Immediately, she noticed that the direction they were heading became increasingly desolate again.
Raegan had a feeling they were going away from Ardlens.
“Henley, this is not the way back.
Do you have trouble remembering the right way?” Raegan commented.
“No,” Henley replied, looking straight ahead with a smile.
"This road is a shortcut going to your home." Raegan was rendered speechless.
Finally, she realized he was talking about taking her home, not sending her home.
"So, where are we going?" Raegan tried her best to remain calm.
But her trembling voice betrayed her.
“Melver," Henley replied with a smile.
Raegan's face instantly turned pale upon hearing this.
