Can't Let Go novel Chapter 214

Laura was not feeling very well on her way back home.

She refused－－even resisted－－touches from Debra Huo.

“No!”

Once he tried to reach for her, she’d dodge subconsciously with extreme fear and anxiety in her eyes.

While Debra Huo frowned as he saw all of these.

Laura kept silent, closed around her arms and quivered with her eyes lowered.

What was picturing in her head was that scene happened some minutes ago.

How they could...?

Why they were...?

Well, well, it was her brother!

A brother and his sister...

Laura bit her pinky lip and held her arms with her eyebrows more and more twisted.

She heard her say no.

She heard her curse.

But that guy didn’t stop that sick deed...

Insane!

Brother Walter Nan was perverted!

Men were all disgusted!

————

The vehicle soon pulled over at the Huo family’s residence.

After the driver pulled the car door for Debra Huo, he was to do this for Laura.

But she opened her door beforehand.

And ran away the next second.

She even forgot taking her desserts with her.

“Miss, you...” Before Uncle Pan had the chance to finish his words, Laura dashed upstairs to her room like a whirlwind.

Uncle Pan was completely confused. And then there came the gloomy Debra Huo.

“Em?” What had happened?

————

Laura locked her door from inside as she got into her room.

For the next second, she jumped into her bed and tucked herself tightly into the quilt.

Sitting on the bed, she was clutching her quilt as her big eyes were full of terror.

She just couldn’t figure it out. Why? Why would it be like this?

Why brother Walter Nan, such a young man of unquestionable integrity, would...

“Nancy, you seem to tabid these days.”

“My brother is at home to spend his holiday.”

These dialogues echoed in her mind again.

She didn’t understand why Nancy would present a wan face when brother Nan was at home...

Now she seemed to have got the truth.

Torture...

That perverted guy must have done numerous torturing deeds to Nancy.

But...

Why she didn’t call the police?

She also didn’t have any idea how all of these happened.

“Ring——”

Her cell phone sang out of a sudden.

She was suddenly stuck as she took a glance at her cell phone screen. The phone was lying on her quilt.

This...

This was Nancy Xi .

She didn’t dare to answer it as she was clutching her arms harder and harder.

Nor did she know how to say anything.

She was completely mixed up at this moment.

————

2：00 a.m.

“No! Stop!”

Out of sudden, a screamed echoed from nowhere.

Laura sat up in the dark.

While a flashed light lightened on the night sky above.

“Boom!” The world seemed to be split apart by this shocking thunderclap.

Laura was scared to death that she screamed and moved to the bedside as she was quivering madly.

Lamp. Turned on the lamp.

She needed lights at this moment.

So, she came to switch on the bed lamp.

But she just failed to light up the room no matter how hard she tried.

No response?

The wind was blowing heavier and heavier that trees were waving and dancing in the storm and giving horrible noises incessantly.

Laura was trembling like crazy.

“Knock, knock, knock.” Someone was outside her bedroom door.

“Laura!” A familiar and gentle voice echoed from the other side.

She tried to answer him but then remained silent instead.

For she had had a nightmare just now.

In her dream, she was the one who was being forced.

She was performing all these dirty moves and carnal gestures.

Being extremely terrified, she wanted to scream but her mouth was tightly covered by someone’s hand.

This kind of desperate feeling was as killing as falling into hell to her.

“Bang!” The thunder roared above the sky, which seemed to break all these windows.

Laura’s body was as stiff as a rock, but her teeth were chattering. Under this awful weather, she just felt at lost in this dark room.

“Dad...”

Tears fell down from her little cheeks, “Dad...”

She had been afraid of the storm since she was very little, which just couldn’t be easily got rid of.

However, she could never have her dad to protect her again at present...

She was drowning in her fear and the darkness.

————

Debra Huo didn’t hear any response as he had been waiting by the door.

But he did hear her scream just then.

“Uncle Pan, give me the key!”

“Yes, sir!” Uncle Pan came to find and bring him the spare key with a torchlight.

The power was cut. And some helps were busy with fixing the electricity system of the mansion.

It might be caused by this storm.

Then Debra Huo swiftly opened the door.

The room was dark.

There was no one was on the bed.

“Laura...” He called her name in a soft voice.

But there was no reply.

“Laura...” The man uttered again.

Then Uncle Pan came in and scanned the room with his torchlight.

So, it was then that they found out that the girl was sitting on the floor, leaning at a corner, huddling herself up and quivering madly with her shoulders been wet by her tears.

For an instant, Debra Huo took pity for her. He walked to her and tried to reach for her arm, “Laura...”

“Ah...” Laura screamed as she was suddenly touched by someone.

“Don’t fret. It’s me.” Debra Huo hurried to hold her into his arms.

“No, don’t touch me...” Laura was ultimately scared. She resisted and pushed him away with all her strength.

“Miss, this is Mr. Huo!” Uncle Pan was worried, “Miss, calm down. This is Mr. Huo! This is Mr. Huo!”

“It’s me! Laura! Don’t be afraid!” He persisted to keep her in his arms and tried to calm her down no matter how hard she shoved him and how odd she acted.

Maybe it was because that she was exhausted or his voice was soothing, after Laura struggled for a while,

she gradually tended to be in a more stable mood.

“Boom!”

Another thunder echoed on the sky.

“Ah...” Laura was greatly scared that she tightly held Huo’s waist and was weeping and trembling.

On seeing this, Uncle Pan hurried out of the room and closed the door.

“Everything’s alright. I’m here!” Debra Huo patted her back and tried to console her.

Laura was turning stable in her sobbing.

So Debra Huo held her up and laid her gently on the bed.

Unexpectedly, her body, which was relaxed just then, became stiff again as it touched the sheet.

“Relax. I won’t touch you without your permission. Don’t fret!”

As Debra Huo knew, she was ultimately shocked by the scene tonight.

She was overprotected since she was very little that she had never seen love making, so it must be really hard for her to witness that.

And finally, Laura calmed down as she was held in his arms and been consoled by his words and promises.

A moment later, the room was lit up.

Debra Huo turned on the bed lamp. He was really hurt as he noticed her reddened eyes.

“Why...” Finally, she spoke, “Why her brother forced her to do what she didn’t want?”

She looked up at Debra Huo, “She didn’t love him, right? She was screaming and refusing him!”

While Debra Huo gently kissed on her forehead and said, “We cannot judge their relationship－－it is hard to tell. But you ask me whether he loves Nancy or not and whether he was forcing her, both of which could be explained by Nancy or her brother. Besides, I need to tell you that there are things that cannot be explained. After all, the word love is just over complicated.”

Laura frowned for she didn’t figure out what he just said.

“Everything has its reason. If you worry about her, you may just talk to her. If your friend needs any help, you could bring her to me. I can help!”

Laura was astonished with her mouth opened, “Really? Uncle Huo, you can really get her out of this?”

“As long as she wishes. But I have to tell you, if she’s not sure what to do, I’d suggest you not to follow your heart, do you understand me?”

Although he didn’t know that guy, he did a research on him as soon as he got home.

He was a very excellent man who had great achievements in army－－personal best grades in all five subjects at the competition. He was also honored the title of captain and Intermediate Special Talents in Anti－terrorism, second－class merit for three times and third－class merit for twice, and more.

So as for this man,

Debra Huo was sure that he had his reason for his behavior.

In this way, he was assured that the guy loved Nancy Xi .

However, as for the reason why Nancy would have the concept that he forced her or she refused or resisted him,

it must be the improper connection between these two young people.

And Huo felt that he’s going to have a conversation with that guy in the future.

Laura nodded although she didn’t have any clear idea of this issue. And then she just fell into sound sleep.

————

The next morning, when she woke up, her Uncle Huo had already left her.

She checked her watch－－she was going to be late for school. So, she hurried to wash her face, brush her teeth and dashed downstairs.

“Miss, you overslept again.” Uncle Pan frowned.

If it was not for Mr. Huo had noted that she needed a nice sleep, Uncle Pan would have taken her up an hour ago.

“Sorry, sorry, sorry.” Laura apologized, hurried to grab her backpack and dashed outside.

Uncle Pan waved his hand, a maid rushed to hand over a lunch box, “Miss, this is your breakfast. Remember to have it!”

Laura took the exquisite box, jumped into the car and waved to Uncle Pan, “I get it! I’m going to school!”

Uncle Pan smiled and waved back.

Then the vehicle was heading toward her school.

Laura opened the cover and was about to have a sandwich. But she was suddenly stuck.

Nancy Xi !

What she saw last night was playing in front of her eyes.

For an instant, she frowned and put the food back into the box.

She just lost her appetite.

————

“Have a nice day, Miss.” The driver opened the door and said to her politely.

And Laura took a bow to him and said “Thank you” as usual.

Then she just grabbed her backpack and entered the school.

Last night, Uncle Huo had stated that if Nancy needed any help, he would help her.

Her fists were tightly clutched.

She’s going to pull her out of this misery!

Yes! Fighting!
