While wiping the rainwater hanging on his coat, he told the driver the address.
The lights on the front of the car were like two beams of bright mist in the heavy rain.
Charles turned his head and raised his eyes, looking through the hazy car window at the bedroom on the second floor where the lights were still on.
Several plants on the window lattice swayed slowly in the backlight.
He sighed deeply, his expression no longer as relaxed as when he faced Jessica just now.
Maybe he pretended to be so indifferent and didn't care about her so much that he could really make her give up...
He withdrew his gaze and started the car slowly.
Charles took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. It was almost twelve o'clock...
Alas! I wonder what happened to the little wild cat at home. Is he still angry with him?
Frustrated, I put away my phone. Unintentionally, I felt a faint tingling sensation on the inside of my elbow.
After suspiciously rolling up his sleeves to expose half of his arm, he strangely discovered that there was a small pinhole on the blood vessel on the inside of his elbow...
what happened?!
He frowned and looked at the almost invisible pinhole carefully with confusion. There were blood vessels under the pinhole. He did draw blood when he was hospitalized, but the pinhole had healed and this pinhole was new.
, based on the feeling of pain and swollen blood vessels, it can be concluded that the pinhole should have appeared about an hour ago...
Did Jessica use a needle to draw his blood? Or injected something into his blood?
With unexplainable confusion, Charles silently stayed away from Jessica's residence.

…………
The car stopped in front of Daniel's house.
The two lights on the front of the car were still shining brightly in the rain.
After getting out of the car, Charles hurried to the door and rang the doorbell several times quickly.
“Dingle bell…Dingle bell…”
The sound of the doorbell broke into the bedroom instantly.
Beside the window, the curtains were fluttering, the glass windows were wide open, and the rain mixed with the howling cold wind poured in.
I don't know how long he stood by the window, and I don't know how long he stared at the street scene outside the window. His legs began to go numb, and his eyes were constantly hit by thin rainwater, and his eyes were moist as if he was crying.
Until a taxi stopped at his door, and he saw that familiar figure that made him love and hate break into his sight. His heart suddenly jumped, and all the anger that he had finally suppressed suddenly disappeared.
With the appearance of that man, he was swept over again.
The five fingers were clenched into fists, the phalanges turned white, and the nails were almost embedded in the palms of the hands.
His indifferent expression held an indescribable coldness, and he listened quietly to the doorbell ringing one after another.
After Charles rang the doorbell several times and saw no response, he then retreated to the street and looked up at Daniel's bedroom.
Seeing the man raise his head, Daniel lowered his eyes indifferently and looked at him.
Seeing Daniel's dim figure standing by the window, Charles waved his hands and shouted to him: "Hey! Brother, open the door!"
The heavy rain poured down, soaking Charles to death in an instant, and his hair was wet and clinging to his forehead.
The cold wind rustled.
The rain is cold.
A biting chill instantly penetrated into Charles' body, and Charles couldn't help but sneeze.
Seeing the man on the street sneezing coldly, Daniel kept watching from the window, but there was no reaction, and the light in his eyes was calm.
"Hey! If you don't open the door, I will stand here until you open the door——!!" For fear that Daniel could not hear clearly, Charles put his hands around his mouth and shouted loudly to Daniel.
His voice reached Daniel's ears very clearly amid the majestic sound of rain.
Still expressionless, still standing in front of the window, letting the rain splash on his face and clothes.
His back looked lonely and cold in the rainy night outside the window.
After quietly looking at each other for a moment with the stubborn and determined man downstairs, Daniel turned around and closed the window without hesitation.
A mocking sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Hum, it depends on how long he can stand...
…
…………
It was almost one o'clock in the morning, lightning and thunder began outside the window, and the heavy rain was still pouring.
Daniel was lying on the bed, eyes closed, silently lying on his side in one position, without moving.
His eyes have been falling calmly on the phone screen beside the bed. Every once in a while, he will reach out and press the phone. When the phone lights up, the time on it is displayed.
Time jumped and disappeared in front of his eyes minute by minute.
Finally, at ten past one, he got out of bed and walked to the window. Through the closed glass window, he couldn't help but take a look at the situation downstairs.
The man who had been standing there downstairs had never left.
The black leather jacket made his wet blond hair stand out.
He lowered his head and his body trembled slightly.
In a strong storm, no matter how strong your body seems, you can't withstand the torture of being exposed to the rain for a long time.
Daniel let out a deep breath, then turned around and walked out of the bedroom, turning on the lights in the corridor and stairs.
…
…………
Next to the wall next to the door, wisps of gray-white smoke were slowly exhaled from the mouth of a wet man.
He casually scratched his hair with his hands, trying to shake off some raindrops hanging on his hair.
At this moment, when a ray of orange light shined through the window next to him, he was suddenly startled.
Quickly running to the man who was soaking in the rain, he took out a few bills, stuffed them into the man's hands, smiled and whispered, "Hey, thanks!"
The blond man had a haggard look on his face, he was probably over thirty-five years old, and even the rain-soaked rinse water could not hide the smell of alcohol on his body.
After he took the money, he nodded gratefully to Charles and said: "Thank you, sir. Remember to come to me if you have such good things in the future..."
"Okay, okay, please return my coat quickly. Let's go there. Don't let my lover see me!"
Charles hurriedly took off the leather jacket from the man, and then urged him to leave quickly.
After the man thanked him a few more times, he immediately ran away.
"Click——!!" The sound of the doorknob twisting jumped into Charles's ears.
Charles immediately stood where the strange man had stood, with his head lowered, pretending to look tired and weak as he had been standing there in the rain.
"Come in!" Daniel opened the door half open and shouted at him with a cold face.
Charles raised his head and smiled naively at Daniel with a wet face: "You are finally willing to forgive me..."
His expression looked innocent and heart-wrenching.
Daniel's chest froze, and then he immediately suppressed the annoying feeling, and whispered again emotionlessly: "Do you want to stand outside for a few more hours?"
As soon as he heard these words, Charles immediately regained his energy, rushed to Daniel, and said with a smile: "How can I keep getting wet like this? I'm almost sick!"
He entered the house and shook off the water droplets from his body on the dry floor without any hesitation.
Daniel closed the door and made a cold mockery: "If you find a substitute to help you get out of the rain, will you get sick just by hiding and watching?"
After shaking his hands for a few times, Charles suddenly stopped. Charles slowly turned his face, looked at Daniel in embarrassment, and said with a dry smile: "You...how do you know that person is not me..."
