She felt uncomfortable and looked away, only to find that her hand was tightly held by him. His palm was sweaty, indicating that he had been gripping it for a while.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Harper wanted to withdraw her hand, but Preston grabbed her, preventing her from doing
1.
When Harper looked at him, he furrowed his brow and spoke, “Where else did you get hurt?”
Harper shook her head and her gaze fell back to Preston’s hand. “Can you stop touching me for now?”
After staring at her for a few seconds, Preston let go of her hand.
Harper turned her head and looked out the window, remaining silent.
Preston, on the other hand, looked at her, unsure of what to say.
While the two remained silent, Taya rushed in.
“Harper!”
Upon hearing Taya’s voice, Harper’s dull eyes suddenly showed a hint of life.
Seeing Harper’s swollen face, bruised neck, bleeding forehead, and bandaged hands, Taya felt heartbroken.
She rushed over and hugged Harper, gently stroking her back while comforting her.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s okay now. You’re safe now.”
Since the incident, Harper hadn’t cried. But in that moment, being embraced by Taya, her nose suddenly tingled and tears welled up in her eyes.
Like seeing a family, all the pent-up grievances rushed to her heart, causing her to unable to hold back her tears.
“Taya, I thought I would never see you again.”
When that middle-aged man dragged her into the bushes, she had already made up her mind.
At that moment, she thought that if she couldn’t resist and was raped by him, she would kill with the price of her life.
Fortunately, she had that kind of strong will, which made her to find a stone and smash it hard on the back of his head, saving
her own life.
Harper held Taya tightly, burying her head in her shoulder as tears streamed down her face.
Harper had always been strong. From pup period to adulthood, she always stood in front of Taya, protecting her. When had she ever cried like this?
Taya couldn’t imagine how Harper had managed to escape tonight, but she could feel her grievances, her fear, and her unspeakable pain.
Harper’s life had been quite bitter…
From a young age, because she was a little older, she always took on everything, earning money, supporting the family, taking care of them like the head of the house. Even though she was also a pup back then, she did whatever she could to shield her and Silas from harm and support them.
When Harper grew up, she saved up to buy an apartment, but then she encountered Damian, who deceived her for money and emotions, and even wanted to trick her into raising his mistress’s pup. If she hadn’t caught Damian cheating on her, she would probably still be in the dark now.
