In the darkness, Hetty was squeezed strongly from all directions, and her chest seemed to be tightly strangled by several iron hoops, unable to breathe at all. Even though she felt uncomfortable, she breathed a sigh of relief. This feeling meant that her first phantom moved by accident.

When she opened her eyes again, the scenery in front of her was very different from what she had just happened. Although it was still dark, after looking up and seeing the bright moon in the night sky, Hetty was so excited that she wanted to cry, and she finally escaped!

After the spirit was relaxed, the pain in her body was magnified. Hetty wanted to sit up, but when she tried to move her right hand, she heard a biting pain. It would be fine if she didn't move. When she moved, it hurt so much that her tears were spinning in her eyes, most likely she had a fracture.

There was only half of the magic wand left in her hand and the ring was stolen. Her face was probably ruined, her back was still hurting, and her forehead was swollen again. She reached out and didn't touch any liquid, so she shouldn't have bleeding.

But after Hedy sat up with difficulty, she was dizzy and almost fell down. After slowing down, she got up with her hands and feet. As a result, she felt nauseous and nauseous, and didn't vomit anything, but she obviously tasted the smell of blood, probably because of the reason why the black wizard kicked her stomach.

This is a forest next to it, and there is a downhill next to it. You can't see clearly if you go far away. Hedy didn't know where the phantom moved her, but she didn't dare to stay for a long time, for fear that the dark wizard would come over again, so she dragged her heavy body down step by step.

Fortunately, Hetty was not injured in his leg, otherwise she would have died here. Thanks to Merlin for giving her a chance to survive. As long as she encounters a Muggle, she will be saved.

But when she thought of Stoke who died to protect her, Hetty wanted to cry every step she took. She gritted her teeth and held back her tears and was careful to go downhill. No matter how painful her body hurts, she must be strong and must go out!

How strong can a person's willpower be? At least after experiencing black magic erosion and physical abuse, she could still walk home with the idea of ​​going home on her legs for a whole night.

Hetty never felt that the night was so long, let alone the coldest moment of the winter day was at night. That night she was so cold that her hands and feet were almost unconscious. She wrapped her head with a scarf to warm up.

At first, it was fine, but the pain in her body became a refreshing agent that stimulated her to stay awake, but the longer the time passed, the less she could not hold on. She was extremely painful, tired and hungry throughout the way, but she didn't dare to stop, for fear that she would never get up again as soon as she fell down.

Later, Hetty persisted with her tenacious willpower. She wanted to go home every moment, like the delicious meals her mother cooked, like her father sitting in front of the TV to discuss recent news and current affairs with her, and even when she couldn't bear it, she had the idea that she might be able to go back if she died again.

But the dawn saved her. When the darkness was dispelled by the white whitening of the east, she seemed to be awake again, no longer thinking about it, but only firmly walked towards the increasingly flattering front.

Merlin still favored her. After walking for nearly an hour, Hetty finally saw several houses and the rising smoke from the cooking stove. After seeing hope, she had more motivation. Her spirit was on the verge of collapse and her body had reached its limit.

But after being accidentally tripped while excited, she did not hold on to fall down again, before hope, and could not stand up again.

Stoke, who was found lying deep in the paradise, was sent to the hospital in time. Fortunately, the person who used the killing curse on him was not so proficient in such an unforgivable curse and was not fatal. However, since he had been hit with a very vicious black magic before, he had to lie in the hospital for half a month.

But after waking up, Stoke found the Dark King right next to him, his first reaction was to struggle to salute and said in panic, "I deserve to die, I can't protect the lady, please punish me."

Even though Stoke was seriously injured in protecting the girl at this time, he failed to complete the task, so he was very sure that the man in front of him would not let him go just this.

But what he didn't expect was that the man with a gloomy face only waved his hand, "You should indeed be punished the most severely, Olin, especially when she is missing, but I don't think she hopes that after this, as a tutor, you can't go back to teach her courses on time. A half-baked killing curse is enough, right?"

I thought that everything had been solved successfully when this adult appeared here, but Stock didn't expect that the girl would disappear. He immediately raised his head anxiously, "Sir! I'm fine, I can go and find a lady!"

However, the Dark King had arrived at the door. Before leaving, he only said, "Your current task is to recover from injuries, Olin, you know very well the consequences of disobeying the order, right?"

Then he could only hear the sound of the door closing, but Stoke remained kneeling on one knee. He stared at the hospital gown and couldn't help but recall the girl's anxious expression before she lost consciousness.

After a long time, there was a dull sound from the quiet ward and there was no movement.

The medic who came to patrol the room as usual knocked on the door three times and pushed it in. She lowered her head and stared at the patient's information in her hand and did not find anything wrong. It was not until the latest examination result was reported, and no one responded for a long time. She looked up and the patient was gone.

After a deep sleep, Hetty opened her eyes and found that she was lying on the bed. Although she was not as comfortable and soft as at home, she was better than on the ground. She also had a quilt cover and the room was warmer. I don’t know how comfortable it was than the night she hiked.

Just as he was about to turn over, Hedy noticed that his clothes had been replaced, and his right hand and head were wrapped in gauze. Although it still hurts, it was much better than before he fell into a coma.

Maybe she was rescued by the Muggles nearby. Hetty breathed even more relief when she thought about it. Although she wanted to continue sleeping, her hungry belly did not give her this opportunity. She felt like she had been hungry for hundreds of years. As long as she had a piece of bread, she could swallow it in one bite.

So in order not to starve to death, Hetty sat up and prepared to get out of bed, but she lifted the quilt and the door of the small room was opened from outside.

The one who came in was a blond girl who looked seventeen or eighteen years old, carrying a plate of food in. When she saw that she had already gotten up, she quickly spoke up and stopped her, "Oh! Your condition is very bad, you should lie down and rest! I'm bringing you food. You should be hungry after being unconscious for three days, right?"

However, the other party blurted out the language that Hedy couldn't understand. She opened her mouth and asked in English with a confused look on her face, "Sorry."

But as soon as she opened her mouth, Hetty was frightened by her hoarse voice. She cleared her throat but felt her chest and stomach hurt. It was even more painful to cough. She stared at her body in horror and continued slowly, "I don't understand French, can you please speak English?"

Seeing that she could speak and her face improved a little, the girl immediately put down the plate, "Of course, but my English is not very good, so I can only communicate simply. You drink some water first. I have prepared hot porridge for you, which will be good for your current health. Oh, I forgot that your hand has broken, I will help you!"

Although the girl's English sounded really bad to Hetty and had a strong accent, she still felt the other person's enthusiasm and concern, so she smiled, "Thank you, my name is Elaine, where are you?"

"You can call me Mary. A few days ago, I found you slumped in the field and took you back. My father is a doctor in the village. He has legal documents. Don't worry. Come, take a sip of water first."

While explaining, Mary came to Hetty with her cup in front of her, but was taken by the other party with her left hand. She continued, "My father said you have suffered a serious injury and should go to the hospital in a big city for treatment in time. But we are very remote here and rarely have cars passing by, so we didn't send you there as soon as possible, but we just had an emergency treatment first, but your burned face may not be able to recover. I'm so sorry."

Hetty, who had been listening quietly, saw that she even apologized and waved his hand, "Don't say that, I'm grateful that you were too late. If it weren't for you and your father, I might have died. Thank you, Mary."

Then she seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, I still have some money in my clothes. Although it is not a lot, I still have to take care of me in my house these days. Just think it is my thanks."

But when Mary heard this, she immediately refused firmly, "No, you are so pitiful. If we take away the money, how will you live in the future? My dad won't agree! Elaine, you must have encountered a fire, right? Do you still remember the phone number of your family? I can contact them for you."

Family members

The first thing that Hedy thought of was the Dark King. Is he looking for her everywhere now? But it has been three days, so she can only rely on herself this time? Coco really doesn't want to experience the feeling of jumping repeatedly on the verge of collapse.

Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but cry. Mary was so scared that she quickly changed her mouth and comforted her, "Sorry, sorry, don't cry, did I say something wrong? Oh! I'm really sorry if it's your family. I shouldn't mention it. Elaine, you eat something first. Don't be overwhelmed, I will look at you."

Then, with the help and supervision of Mary, Hetty finally stopped crying and drank some hot porridge to continue resting. But not long after she lay down, she heard a quarrel outside accompanied by falling things.

Just as Hedy couldn't help but stretch her neck and looked around, the door of the room was kicked open with a "bang". Mary was pushed in by a few young men who looked difficult to mess with, and one of them was still pulling her arm to prevent her from moving.

"That old guy Durand can afford medicine. The money must be hidden here. Search for me!"

The man at the front said in a irritable tone, then kicked the stool over, and the other few began to rummage the boxes and cabinets. Mary tried her best to stop them but there was no effect.

But Hetty couldn't understand what they were saying at all. He struggled to get up and shouted at the man who grabbed Mary, "What are you going to do? You are illegal to do this! Let her go!"

However, no one paid attention to her at all, except Mary reminded her in time in English, "They are just a group of robbers! Elaine, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

But the man holding him seemed to be annoyed by her constant struggle. He immediately slapped her and pushed her to the ground, and then threatened him fiercely in French that Hetty could not understand, "Damn woman! If you can't afford the money today, you will pay for it! You two throw me that ugly British guy out!"

After the man finished speaking, the other few changed their targets and came to the bed and lifted her up and threw her off. The fall seemed to trigger a switch. The pain in her body came violently like a tsunami. Something seemed to be surging rapidly in her body. She curled up on the ground and gritted her teeth and endured it.

But the man thought she was pretending to be dead, and walked over without saying a word and kicked her in the face. Fortunately, she protected her head with her arms in time. With her muffled a few times, she had been kicked to the edge of the table. Mary hurried over to protect her tightly.

As one of them shouted loudly, "Finished! There is a lot of money here!"

The man gave up and continued to torture them both, and took the money he had plundered from Hedy's clothes, but as soon as they stepped out of the house, several extremely shrill screams came.

But at this moment, neither of the two girls were in the mood to pay attention. Mary wanted to help the girl with pain onto the bed, but she watched her spit out a mouthful of blood as she sat up.

"Oh my God! Elaine, are you okay? I'll go find my dad to come back now, you must hold on! I'll help you lie back first!"

But just as Mary tried hard to pick up the thin girl, she caught it with her hands in time, easily picked up the girl, went straight to the bed and put it down carefully.

"Are you?" Mary immediately followed, stared at the handsome but unfamiliar face of the man, and asked with great caution.

But the man didn't seem to want to pay attention. His face was quite bad, and his dark eyes were also staring at the lying down girl. At the same time, there was a slender stick on his hand.
