章節 13: Chapter 13 Kicked out
"Is it appropriate for them two to live under the same roof? After all, they're both single now and it might hurt Chloe's reputation." Nancy murmured. But her care was so obvious that she explained at once, "I mean, Chloe has grown up and she might as well learn to live alone."
"Live alone? You don't know about it, Nancy. When Chloe was a child, she often stayed with Daniel. Maybe she has forgotten it now."
Mrs. Vicky couldn't help chuckling. Back then, the Johnson family and the Bruce family still lived nearby and thus Chloe and Daniel used to spend a lot of time together.
Chloe didn't remember it, but she smiled when hearing the fun story.
Nancy glanced at Daniel who was sitting next to her as silent as a sculpture.
"Daniel, I remember that you like eating asparagus. Here." Nancy put some on Daniel's plate.
Daniel glanced at the food but didn't eat.
In fact, he wasn't feeling well. He had a stomachache again.
Seeing this, the strong discomfort came over Chloe at once as if what she had been longing for was taken away from her.
She wanted to keep a distance from Daniel, but there was an inseparable bond between them.
And at present, she felt a little upset.
"Mr. Bruce doesn't like asparagus," Chloe said in a cold voice.
All the people present felt she was unhappy, including Nancy who looked embarrassed.
Chloe felt that as well, so she quickly explained, "I am sorry, Miss Nancy. It's so considerate of you but I know he doesn't like it."
It might be too late to explain, but at least she tried.
Nancy responded with a gentle and graceful smile, "Not a big deal. It seems that you really know his taste. After all, you have been in love with him since you were a child."
Chloe didn't say anything although she thought Nancy was sneering that Daniel didn't love her back.
"Let's enjoy our meal then," Daniel said. He lowered his head so that no one would see his pale face.
Chloe looked at Daniel, thinking she could decide on living with him later. Maybe Laura would change her mind when she was in a better mood. And then she didn't have to move to Daniel's place.
Daniel didn't say anything about this. He left quickly after the meal.
In the Johnson's house.
Kevin barely came back, so Laura asked Becky and others to especially clean the room for him. She also emphasized that all servants should take good care of him.
Chloe pushed her wheelchair by herself in the end. Looking at Laura busy with welcoming Kevin, she couldn't help feeling sad.
But she didn't say anything and was about to go back to her room alone.
"Why do you come back?" asked Laura coldly.
Chloe raised her eyebrow, looking at Laura in disbelief.
"Mom, I know that you are still mad at me. But this is also my home. Can't I come back?" It never occurred to her that Laura would kick her out one day.
"What's the benefit of your coming back? All you do is make fool of yourself and disgrace your family. Sometimes I really hope you are not my daughter at all!"
Laura blurted out the cold and aggressive words, which hurt Chloe's pride so sharply.
Ashamed and angry, she turned the wheelchair around and left the house.
She didn't want to stay in the Johnson family for one more second.
But looking at the dark sky, she felt exhausted and lonely.
She had no choice but to go to Lisa's home.
She wandered alone on the dark street. Although she felt chilly and scared, she couldn't go home right now.
Going back home means abandoning her pride and apologizing to Laura, which was so humiliating. Besides, she wanted to show Laura the severe consequences of saying such harsh words to her own daughter.
She called Lisa several times but couldn't get through.
Seeing the phone power was gradually running low, Chloe felt more and more depressed.
At the same time, Daniel just came out of the hospital and Tyler was about to send him home.
At a crossroad, Tyler seemed to notice something.
"Mr. Bruce, isn't that Miss Chloe? I almost…" Tyler didn't finish the sentence. Through the rear-view mirror, he peeked at Daniel's expression. Daniel had just had an injection, and he was not in a good mood.
But as he heard Chloe's name, he subconsciously looked for her.
There were only ten seconds before the traffic light turned red, but Chloe was still struggling to get off the stairs.
That looked so dangerous!
If the wheelchair rushed down from the stairs, Chloe, whose leg was already injured, would definitely suffer more.
"Bring her here." Said Daniel in a cold deep voice.
Tyler took a look at the traffic light and stopped the car. Then he got out of the car and walked towards Chloe quickly.
Looking around, Chloe only saw a few lonely lights on the dark road and no other people, let alone asking someone to help her get down.
Unexpectedly, a group of frivolous young men staggered towards her.
"Hey girl, what are you doing here alone at night? Do you want to have fun with us?" One fat man of them smoked a cigarette and looked at her lustfully.
The others echoed, "That's right! It's not safe for you to be alone at night. How about we take you to have some fun?"
Chloe got nervous and said uneasily, "Leave me alone."
Then she turned around and left in the opposite direction.
But how could it be that easy? The next moment, she felt that someone stopped her by grabbing her wheelchair.
She felt cold, chilly, and dangerous.
"Beauty, listen to us, or you will be whipped later!" Suddenly someone shouted, and she could smell the disgusting alcohol far away.
Chloe tried to move her wheelchair, but it didn't work at all.
The man who grabbed her wheelchair burst into laughter and flaunted to his friends, "Look at her. She is being shy now!"
"Do you guys know who you are messing with?" Someone came over and blocked their way.
The fat man, who took the lead, roared ferociously, "Fuck you! Leave here now, or I shall beat you up!"
