Raymond touched my head to comfort me.
Before leaving, Nancy looked at me one last time, her eyes full of pride.
An hour after they left, Raymond's phone and text messages were disconnected.
I waited for a long time until an anonymous number sent me a few photos.
In the photo, Raymond was shirtless, and Nancy was lying on his chest like a little bird.
There are no words, but everything is said.
With trembling hands, I dialed the number, but still no one answered.
Raymond did not come back that day.
After a full day of being out of touch, he knelt on the living room floor.
"Wanda, I’m sorry..."
He moved towards me on his knees.
I squatted down and unbuttoned his clothes one by one.
His chest was covered with thick hickeys.
While waiting, I kept comforting myself that the photos were photoshopped. Now it seems ridiculous.
"Wanda, can you please pay attention to me? "
Without waiting for my answer, he suddenly began to fan himself, rubbing the skin on his chest vigorously, turning a large area red and even causing the skin to peel off.
The bigger his movements, the more painful my heart feels.
But I still dodged when he wanted to touch me.
"Nasty..."
One word separated the distance between us, just like The Mariana Trench.
The air was silent for a long time, and something on the table fell to the ground with a crisp sound, which brought the two people back to their senses.
His lips moved, they were bloodless and his face was pale.
Raymond said nothing and went into the bathroom silently. When he came out, I was shocked.
The area that was originally covered with marks has turned completely red, completely covering up its original flirty appearance.
Some of the deep marks were covered in blood.
"You..."
I looked at him, speechless with shock.
"Wanda, you can't see anything now. I've already washed myself clean. Please don't leave me. "
He looked at me aggrievedly and lowered his head again.
"She drugged me, I had no strength in my body, I could only let her do whatever she wanted, but I swear, nothing really happened between us."
He raised his hand as if swearing, his eyes filled with determination.
As soon as my hands touched his skin, he gasped.
Then he looked at me in surprise.
"Wanda, do you believe me? "
I nodded helplessly, and he started laughing. The wound on his body was affected and he grimaced in pain, which looked particularly funny.
Because of this incident, Raymond consciously distanced himself from Nancy and left all matters to the lawyers.
Our relationship gradually fixed up.
But when everything is going well, bad things are bound to happen.
Nancy climbed to the roof of the 26th floor.
Many fire trucks came and all kinds of measures were taken, but that was not the 6th floor, but the 26th floor. If she jumped down, everything would be in vain.
When I received the news, Raymond was making soup for me.
He didn't even turn off the fire and rushed out.
I followed him out after I had dealt with everything.
I was standing at the exit of the underground parking lot, watching him pass by me without even a glance.
I called a cab and followed him all the way to where Nancy was about to jump.
"It's such a pity that you can't talk about it properly at such a young age. "
"Why are there so many people gathered here? "
Unable to find Raymond, I turned around and asked a passerby.
"Didn’t you see the girl standing upstairs? She was about to jump off the building. "
I looked up, but the sun was too bright and I couldn't see anything.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but all the elevators in this building are out of order.
I climbed up step by step until I reached the top floor.
Nancy stood outside the fence with a calm expression.
"Raymond."
called out to him, but got no response.
Instead, Nancy became even more excited when she heard my voice.
"Wanda Wilson, what are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"
She laughed and then roared angrily the next second.
"Go away, tell her to go away. "
"Nancy, please don't get excited. "
After Raymond calmed her down, he turned around and yelled at me.
"What are you doing here? Do you really want to see her jump? Get out."
I was stunned by his yelling, and before I could react, I was taken out by the firefighters.
This is the first time he has been so rude to me.
I was just persuading myself. He was also afraid that Nancy would get too excited and do something stupid.
But soon, I couldn't comfort myself anymore.
The place where I was taken away was separated from them by a glass door. Nancy couldn't see me from his perspective, but I could see it clearly.
Raymond approached step by step, and Nancy just cried but did not refuse.
"Babe, come down, please. "
"If even you don't want me anymore, what's the point of me living? "
Today, she wore the white dress she used to wear during her school days, which was swaying in the wind as if no one could catch her. The scene looks bleak.
"Dear Ray, I haven't called you like this for a long time. When my mom left, she asked you to take good care of me, but I knew I was not worthy of you and that your parents didn't like me, so I left my hometown alone, thinking that I could let you go."
"But I can’t do it, I really can’t do it..."
