Layla pushed the wheelchair alone and roamed about aimlessly on the street. She did not know what she was thinking or what she should do or where she was going.
Despite the strong objections of the doctor, Layla insisted on being discharged because she really did not want to see this person, Catherine.
Her heart ached so badly. Andre had undoubtedly been so gentle that night. Layla did not know why he would treat her that way.
Layla wanted to go home. She longed to lie in Susan's embrace and cry bitterly, as though her heart would not hurt so much after that.
However, Layla did not want to cause her parents to worry either.
Before she knew it, Layla had arrived at a small brook. The river water under the sunlight was sparkling and dazzling.
Through this scenery, she suddenly saw her old self on the sports field, her courageous and competitive self standing on the podium.
An indescribable sense of grief welled up in Layla's heart.
However, before she had the time to exhale that suffocating sigh in her chest, she felt something cold and sticky crawling up her chest, and it was even wrapping around her continuously!
This familiar feeling shocked Layla. She immediately realized that it was the red evil spirit's hair that was wrapped around her!
However, Layla was not that fearful anymore. She even thought that if she died like this, her heart might not hurt so much anymore, and she would not have to face that cold Andre again.
When Layla closed her eyes and prepared to accept her death, a warm scene of Andre hugging her in bed and calling her 'Lass' that day suddenly appeared in her mind.
"No, I can't die like this! I can't accept this. I don't believe Uncle doesn't have any feelings for me at all!" A strong force exploded in Layla's heart.
When the hair was about to wrap around her lips, she asked coldly, "Evil spirit, what's your obsession? Tell me, and I might be able to help you!"
After experiencing the incident with the evil boy spirit last time, Layla also gained some understanding of evil spirits, this category of beings.
They had become evil spirits because of their obsessions. They ignored the laws of the world and insisted on staying in this realm.
However, the hair clinging onto Layla's body did not stop because of this sentence. It continued to tighten more and more.
Layla was so suffocated that she could not breathe at all. When Layla was about to lose her consciousness, she suddenly felt the restraint on her body loosen. Copious amounts of fresh air rushed in, and Layla could not help but begin to cough.
After negotiating, Layla reached an agreement with the evil spirit.
The evil spirit in the red dress had been sick and had lost her life a week after her wedding. However, she could not let go of her boyfriend, so she wanted to see him.
This time, under the guidance of the evil spirit in red, Layla found her boyfriend's residence. As it happened to be near the hospital, everything went smoothly.
The evil spirit in red saw that there were still photos of their past happiness in her boyfriend's room. It turned out that after she passed away, her boyfriend had not been able to forget her and had not gotten married again.
When the evil spirit in red saw this scene, the resentment in her heart dissipated. Her tears—carrying black-colored resentment— hit the ground drop by drop.
"Layla, can you do me a favor?" the evil spirit in red cried.
"Go ahead. I'll do my best."
"Help me to tell him I'm fine. He doesn't have to worry. I hope he can find his new happiness."
Layla conveyed the words of the evil spirit in red. The female spirit came to her boyfriend's side and wanted to hug him, but the moment she touched him, she turned into specks of stars and scattered.
When Layla walked out of the evil spirit's boyfriend's house, she could not help but sigh at their feelings inwardly.
If only Andre could love her as much!
When Layla reached the street, she saw a group of men in black running over toward her with guns.
Turning around to escape, Layla used all the strength in her body to push the wheelchair as fast as possible.
However, a wheelchair could not outrun an able-bodied person after all, let alone these people who had undergone professional training.
A man in black raised the gun in his hand at Layla.
Bang!
In this dangerous and critical moment, Layla felt herself fall into a tall, warm embrace that bore Andre's unique smell.
When he finally got rid of Catherine and returned to the hospital, Andre realized that Layla was no longer there.
He knew that his words had definitely hurt Layla's heart. Afraid that something would happen to Layla, Andre hurriedly came out to look for her.
He had not expected this kind of situation. At that moment, Andre had no time to react. He could only use his body to block the bullet that was shot at Layla!
Although Layla had just had her heart broken by Andre, when he appeared, she could not help reaching out to hug him.
However, she suddenly felt a sticky feeling on his back. He was bleeding!
Layla hurried over to check, and sure enough, he had been shot in the back.
Upon seeing that they had shot Andre, those men in black were a little frightened and quickly dispersed.
Andre held his last breath and reached out to wipe her tears. "Lass, don't cry… Cough, cough. I'm sorry… Everything I said on the phone today was fake… Don't be sad, don't be unhappy."
"Sorry, lass. I want to protect you forever. I'm just… afraid that I won't have such a chance anymore…"
"Lass, I love you… Ever since we first met, I've felt that you're different… Lass…"
Before Andre could finish speaking, his hand could not prop itself up anymore and slid to the ground weakly.
Layla panicked instantly. She hugged Andre tightly and cried out his name repeatedly!
However, this tall and mighty man, who seemed like he would never fall in Layla's eyes, did not respond this time.
