Calvin curled his elbows and slammed backwards, hitting the man's stomach. There was a thrust of gasp, but his hand never let go of Calvin. And just as Calvin was about to make a second attack, the most familiar voice rang in his ears.

"It's me, damn it, Calvin, it's me. ”

Calvin's movements paused.

He looked back in disbelief and realized that the man was none other than Isaac.

And Isaac didn't give him time or opportunity to speak, and at the moment when Calvin gave up resistance, he carried Calvin down the tree with a superhuman dexterity. And almost at the same time, the curtain of the window that had been prying into it was ripped open.

The dim light poured out of the window, and in the backlight, Imogen Payne's emaciated face was a little blurred. He stared at the treetops, still swaying slightly, and frowned until a hoarse meow came from the night.

"I don't like the tree. ”

Imogin's fingers tapped on the window edge and whispered.

Anna knelt at his feet, gazing at him in fascination.

"I'll let the gardener take care of it tomorrow. ”

She responded unusually submissively, her voice overflowing with flattery and courtesy that could not be ignored.

Imogen stretched out a hand and stroked her hair, he liked Anna's position, because from this angle he could only see the top of Anna's head, the beautiful white blonde hair (even if it was only dyed).

"You're a good boy. ”

Imo Sands said hoarsely, but his gaze went beyond the oak trees, over the fence, and over the darkening night into the distance, and a frenzied flush appeared on his face at the thought of the news he had received earlier.

"May the Children of Light bless you. ”

He said. Then he put his fingers in Anna's hair, dragged her body, and rudely dragged her towards the narrow bed in the corner......

……

Listening to the moans coming from above, Isaac, who had been motionless against the oak tree for a long time, finally let go of Calvin.

Without having to speak, the two of them quickly slipped out of the courtyard of the shelter along the lovely shade of flowers.

Calvin saw Isha on the other side of the street the moment he jumped off the fence, and the little girl had a look of anticipation and worry on her face the moment she saw him. Calvin forced a smile and waved at him.

"That's a good cat bark, I never knew you had a talent for it. ”

After walking down the street, Calvin said to Isaac in a pretended nonchalant tone.

Isaac grinned, and an extremely ugly smirk appeared on the face that looked much older from the late night and tiredness.

"yes, I'm good at it. Guess what else I'm good at?"

The moment the words fell, his fist had already landed on Calvin's face.

"Bang-"

"Hmm. ”

The sound of his fists touching his flesh and Calvin's muffled snort rang out at the same time, and Calvin's face tilted to the side, and he staggered back two steps to stabilize himself.

Isha let out a gasp, but she immediately covered her mouth with her hands and quickly took two steps back.

"Hey, you scared Isha. ”

Calvin spat out a mouthful of bloody spit and said.

Isaac let out a disdainful sneer.

"Oh, that's weird, you can have an underage girl on the street late at night and be afraid to let her see herself beaten?"

“……”

Well, it looks like Isaac is really angry.

Calvin thought.

"Uh, actually......"

He licked his lips and tried to come up with a plausible explanation, but in the end he found that the only thing he could do was remain silent.

There was no reason for him to explain his reckless and rash adventure.

"You're infiltrating - I should have arrested you right now!"

Isaac shoved Calvin against the wall, grabbed Calvin by the throat, lowered his voice and roared viciously.

"I'm sorry. ”

Calvin whispered, and after a moment he repeated again, "I'm sorry, I just ...... There are some worries. ”

There was a dull pain in his fingertips, and his body was shaking.

He wanted to explain everything to Isaac - he wanted the little girl Isha to continue living with her loving mother, even if her mother was a serious bastard.

And yet that bastard loves her daughter.

Calvin didn't quite remember the woman he was supposed to call his mother...... He didn't know if the woman from fifteen years ago had ever loved his son, and whether the answer was "yes" or "no", it was all over on that rainy night fifteen years ago.

And now, he only hopes that there will be someone on this planet who will get the motherly love he deserves—even Calvin himself finds the idea a little silly and funny: the Holden family has protected him, and he has not escaped the Advent faction. What he was doing now did nothing but put himself and Isaac in a bad position, but it didn't really do anything.

Unprecedented frustration poured over Calvin's body, and he suddenly felt extremely tired.

He rubbed the tip of his nose.

"Can you please go there and get Madeleine out?" said Isha was not doing well. ”

He said.

The veins on Aisack's forehead cracked, and he could see that his anger was once again coming out because of Calvin's request. But under Isha's suddenly brightened gaze, the officer agreed to Calvin's request...... Of course, the results were not so pleasant.

Calvin hid on a street corner and witnessed the whole thing.

After seeing □□, the House of Refuge, which was exceptionally cold to Calvin, finally opened its doors to Isaac. However, the woman who appeared behind the iron door made Calvin's eyes widen in shock.

That's Madeleine.

As Isa had said, she had a wound on her neck—but it was well bandaged. She seemed to be a little over-excited, but compared to the previous one who drank too much and went crazy, Madeleine at this moment could even be said to be quite normal.

"Oh my God, where the hell have you gone?!"

She screamed at the sight of Isa, and then she hugged the girl, crying out about her worry and anxiety.

Isaac glanced in Calvin's direction from a distance, Calvin couldn't see his face clearly, but even from such a distance, he could still feel the gloomy aura on Isaac's body.

By the way, Isaac never liked Madeleine.

When Isaac finally left the House of Sanctuary, his face blank, his eyes filled with a storm. Calvin sat silently in his police car two blocks away, the atmosphere in which it was as solemn as a frozen pork leg.

Calvin pulled a cigarette out of his pocket, his fingertips tingling again when he touched the fabric, and he looked down at his hand, and saw that the edges of his nails were stained with brown blood, wounded by the bark of an oak tree. The scene he had seen again in his mind was refreshed, and he quickly lit the cigarette, the *spicy smoke pouring into his respiratory system, suppressing the intense feeling of nausea again.

"Look at the good things you've done...... That damn woman was just a broken piece of skin!"

Ten minutes later, Isaac parked his car somewhere away from the shelter, turned off the fire, and said to Calvin.

"I heard the people in there, a man and a woman, saying they were going to 'deal with' Madeleine. ”

Calvin said with some dryness.

However, Isaac did not have any emotional fluctuations after hearing this.

"Oh...... It sounds scary, but I don't really care about it. ”

Aysaac suddenly reached out and snatched Calvin's cigarette, he pressed the window, and threw the orange-burning gizmos straight out of the window.

"Hey, calm down, man. ”

"So you're going to do something so I can calm down?!Fuck you're still in the mood to care about that mouth spew-spewing bitch at this point?Did you forget about the bounty you offered at the advent party?!Or do you actually want to go back to that goddamn place and be that fucking angel?!"

"Hell, Isaac, Isha told me how seriously she was when she came to me, and from what I heard, the mentor and priest there were raping the women......"

"Shut up. ”

"Isaac ......"

"I'm telling you to shut up. ”

Isaac's voice suddenly rose as he glared at Calvin with that somewhat bewildered gaze.

He looked angrier and more tired than ever.

"Calvin, I want to protect you. "I know there are a lot of people in this world who are suffering, a lot of people who are being hurt, and I would help them if I had the power to do it, but the only one who can make me pay with my life to protect it is you—all because you're my fucking brother! You're in danger, I can't do it all, I'm not a superman, I'm not a superpower, I'm just a fucking cop who didn't even make it to my father's funeral - I just fucking want to do what he told me!" And you're desperately trying to burden me, you're just trying to die-"

"Isaac, I-"

"Get down. ”

Isaac unlocked the car, and he shoved Calvin.

Calvin was eventually kicked out of the car.

"If you want to be a savior, then go for it. Through the window, Isaac yelled at him angrily, "I'm quit." Calvin, I give up, I can't protect you and still have to reach out to deal with the affairs of the Adventists, that's not my job at all. I can't do this, really, Calvin, I give up. ”

Calvin stood there with a pale face.

He didn't say a word, he just stood by the unfamiliar street and watched as Isaac drove away.

He felt a little sad, but he didn't know if it was for Isaac or for himself who was so embarrassed.

He walked numbly through the street for some distance, perhaps for ten minutes, or for a longer period of time. And as he slowly calmed down, he was somewhat surprised to find that the building in front of him seemed familiar.

Oh yes, he should have felt familiar—he thought as he gazed at the carefully built hedges of plants and the beautiful houses behind them.

He's been here today, oh no, just yesterday afternoon.

As if controlled by some mysterious force, he involuntarily took a turn around the corner of the street, and then stopped in front of a small brick-red two-story building.

Here it is...... Victor's apartment.

And now, the light is on in the bedroom window on the second floor of this apartment.

Oh, he told me he didn't live here anymore - a sentence crossed Calvin's mind, and he frowned and stood downstairs in Vicili for a few minutes.

His phone was in his pants pocket, next to his injured finger. An impulse squirmed on Calvin's fingertips, and he always felt like he would pull out his phone and make a call to the boy who was clearly crushing on him. But he quickly restrained the impulse. He shouldn't be too close to that guy, between him and him......

It doesn't matter at all. That's right, it doesn't matter at all.

Calvin furrowed his brow tightly, and when he realized that he was thinking about the eccentric multi-personality patient, he quickly turned around and prepared to leave the damn high-class villa complex. But at this moment, a figure appeared in the window soaked in warm light, and he seemed to be leaning against the window inadvertently, and also inadvertently, staring at Calvin downstairs.

"Damn—"

The moment he met those minty-green eyes, Calvin couldn't help but mumble. 166 Reading Network
