The last bus had left.
Valerie sat on the bench in the bus shelter and watched the sun in the distance gradually turn from blood red to dark gray…
The street lights gradually came on. Valerie leaned back and stared blankly at the sky.
She placed her hands on her lap in frustration. The pain in her body exhausted her.
The stars were slowly appearing in the sky, and the street lights were getting brighter.
Valerie didn’t want to go home.
She could guess that she would be severely scolded if she got home.
“Alas…”
The cell phone in Valerie’s pocket suddenly vibrated.
Valerie knew it was Jayvion calling.
She took the phone out. Just as she was about to pick up the phone, it stopped vibrating.
“Oh, well, it’s dead.”
What Valerie bought on eBay hadn’t arrived yet, so she didn’t keep an eye on her phone. It hadn’t been charged for three or four days.
It made sense that her phone ran out of battery.

After glancing at the dark screen of her phone, Valerie put it down.
She looked at the dark sky in low spirits.
She was thinking, “It’s almost autumn.
“It should be quite cold at night.
“I guess I’ll have to find a place to sleep tonight.”
It didn’t matter to Valerie that she had to spend the night out. After all, she did it often.
In her last life, she had no place to stay after she was kicked out of the Horton’s house.
She could only go to some parks and find some buildings that could accommodate people to shelter her from the wind and rain.
She slept like that for almost half a month before she found the orphanage…
Valerie ached all over and tutted in disgust. She chose to continue sitting on the bench for a while.
Valerie gradually got sleepy.
She tried to keep her eyes open to keep from falling asleep…
“I think I’ll stay here tonight…” Valerie thought to herself.
“Valerie! You…”
Suddenly, there was a low male voice.
Valerie, who was about to fall asleep, managed to open her eyes and wanted to see who the speaker was.

She blinked hard, and Kieran’s angry face came into her eyes.
“Kieran…”
Valerie was shocked at the sound of her voice.
Her voice was extremely hoarse.
Kieran slammed the car door.
It was a sign that he was angry.
Kieran looked at Valerie in the bus shelter in the distance and was furious.
But when he approached the street light and got a good look at Valerie, his anger disappeared instantly.
Valerie was seemingly looking at Kieran.
But her eyes were lifeless.
She looked miserable. Her face was swollen and had finger marks on it.
All of her exposed skin was covered in bruises.
Kieran froze on the spot. He was shocked by Valerie’s appearance…
“Valerie… who hit you? Are you okay?”
Kieran came back to his senses and walked quickly to Valerie before frowning and looking at her seriously.
He carefully took Valerie’s hand and held her sleeve up.
Valerie’s arm was covered in bruises and a few cuts…
Kieran turned furious once again, but he wasn’t angry at Valerie this
time.
His heaving chest revealed his current mood.
Valerie remained expressionless as she observed Kieran’s expression.
It scared Kieran even more…
He was thinking, “She’s been beaten like this. Doesn’t she feel anything?”
Valerie seemed to have seen through what Kieran was thinking. She snorted in her mind.
“I was beaten worse in my last life than I am today.
“Did you ever care about me?”
Valerie was a little annoyed. She broke free of Kieran’s hand and pulled down her sleeve. She didn’t want Kieran to touch her.
“Valerie… stand up. I’m taking you to the hospital.”
Kieran felt a little sad because of Valerie’s indifference once again.
But the current situation didn’t allow him to be sentimental.
He took Valerie’s hand again and gently pulled her towards the car.
“Are you in pain? Do you want me to hold you?”
Kieran asked carefully. He unconsciously softened his tone.
Valerie suddenly remembered that when she was at the age of three or four, Kieran spoke to her in the same tone.
But everything changed later…

Nowadays, Valerie had mixed feelings as Kieran treated her gently.
But she could be sure that if Zoe were here, Kieran would still choose
Zoe.
Even if she needed more attention than Zoe, Kieran wouldn’t come to her first.
Valerie was a little heartbroken.
She turned her head to look at Kieran.
“Kieran, I want to go home.”
Valerie was calm and didn’t cry as if she were just saying something normal to Kieran.
Kieran’s hands went cold, his fingers started to tingle, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
All he could do was to reply.
“Okay, I’ll take you home.”
There was a family doctor at home anyway.
Kieran took Valerie to the car, carefully put her seatbelt on, and drove slowly home.
On the way, Kieran called the family to explain the situation, but Valerie didn’t hear him.
She was too sleepy…
Seeing that Valerie was asleep, Kieran slowed the car down a lot.
Earlier in the day, Jayvion popped in to see Kieran. He told Kieran that Valerie hadn’t come home yet. When he called Valerie, Valerie’s phone

was off. It should be that Valerie’s phone ran out of battery
“Where is the driver?”
“Mr. Kieran… from the beginning of the term until now, Ms. Valerie has been taking the bus to and from school alone.”
This news put Kieran out of the mood to work.
“Why didn’t you report it to me?”
“Mr. Kieran. Ms. Valerie said there was no spare driver for her. It was okay for her to go to school by herself. She told me not to tell you… I…”
Jayvion became anxious.
If anything happened to Valerie, he wouldn’t dare to face the Horton family!
Kieran’s heart missed a beat.
He realized it was his fault. After dropping Valerie off at school last time, he didn’t arrange a driver for her…
Kieran put on his coat quickly and picked up his car keys.
“Jayvion, I’m going to pick her up now. I’ll call you if anything happens.”
“Yes, Mr. Kieran!”
Kieran gripped the steering wheel.
He was thinking about what Valerie looked like just now
Valerie’s clothes and hair were disheveled.

The finger marks on her face were visible.
However, it was Valerie’s eyes that made Kieran break out in a cold
sweat.
Valerie looked vacantly at the sky, and her eyes were gloomy…
Even when Kieran called out to her, she remained frozen.
Her eyes were so clean.
But the look in her eyes was desperate.
She looked as if she were about to disappear, which was the same as she did when Kieran dropped her off at school before…
“Valerie…”
Kieran murmured.
The car quickly arrived home.
Valerie was gently picked up by Kieran.
“Er, are we home yet?”
“Yeah, don’t worry. I’ll carry you.”
Valerie was awakened by Kieran’s movements.
She rubbed her eyes.
After Valerie and Kieran entered the house, Reese’s loud voice of scolding reached Valerie’s ears.
“How dare you go home? You’re a member of the Horton family, but you were bullied so badly! You’re a disgrace to us! I don’t want to see you at home!”
