When Melinda arrived at home, it started to rain again. She felt weak and it was very difficult for her to
get off the taxi.
When she came out, although she did not bring anything else, her cell phone was still with her. She
called her father, and it was picked up after ringing for a while.
When Melinda heard the voice of her father on the phone, her nose became much sourer. She almost
choked, "Dad, I'm downstairs. Can you come down and pick me up?"
"I miss you, Dad."
Hearing what Melinda said, Vern raised his eyebrows in an instant. Yesterday, Jonas called him, which
made him feel that the young couple were at odds, but now it seemed that she was not in the right
state.
But, in any case, Vern would not refuse Melinda. He told her that he would go downstairs very soon
and told her to wait and not to hang up.
Melinda could almost hear the sound of her father's anxious running and the movement of changing
shoes at the other end of the phone. Her father had been waiting for the elevator for a long time. He
could not help but tell her that the elevator was a bit old and slow.
She could no longer hold back her tears. The driver wanted to say something, but he shut his mouth.
The girl in the back seat looked very sad. She seemed to have just come out of the hospital. Was she
seriously ill?
While the driver was still lost in his thought, Vern had arrived downstairs. The window was open, and
he saw his daughter with tears on her face.
After paying the fare, Vern took Melinda home and finally noticed that there was something wrong with
her. She looked very haggard, without any vitality.
"Is it because Jonas has mistreated you?" Vern was very angry and asked directly, but Melinda did not
answer this question.
She calmly said to her father, "Dad, I want to divorce him. I am really tired. I want to have a sleep.
When I wake up, I will be fine."
As Melinda spoke, she felt dizzy again. She walked into her bedroom and shut herself inside.
Although she didn't come back often, the bedroom was still neat and tidy. Melinda knew that all this
was the care and missing of her father.
She lay down on the bed and fell asleep. She even wondered why she was so silly to leave this selfless
man who loved and cared for her, to come to Jonas and suffer all of these.
Vern saw that Melinda was not very calm, so he gave her room and time to calm down. But he was
surer that it was Jonas who made Melinda suffer.
Seeing that Melinda was asleep, Vern made an appointment with Jonas, who followed Melinda all the
way, and appeared soon after he proposed to meet.
Jonas thought it was okay to meet with him at Vern's home, but Vern thought his appearance would
affect Melinda's mood. In the end, they met at an entertainment club outside.
It was a room belonging to Jonas. When Vern came, Jonas was sitting upright and poured him a cup of
tea. It was a flesh and wine club, but there was such elegant tea in this room.
Vern had once again realized the power of the Gu family.
"We don't need to drink this tea, nor do you need to be so hypocritical in front of me. Are you still a
man? You can't even protect your wife. What's more, you made her feel wronged and treated her
shabbily. I have a very good daughter to give to you, and now she come back to me like that."
The more Vern said, the angrier he became. He could not help but pour a cup of tea on the handsome
face of Jonas. If it was someone else who did it, it would absolutely come to no good end. But this
person was Vern, and Jonas would not make any reaction, but accepted it in silence.
He thought he deserved it.
Thinking of the pitiful look of Melinda, Vern felt his heart ached. He yelled at Jonas, and finally stopped
as if he was a little tired.
"Father, I didn't want you to worry about it. Now that Linda has gone back, I'll tell you what happened in
these two days." Jonas didn't interrupt Vern all the time because he thought he deserved it.
Vern stopped and Jonas told the whole story. Vern felt a little embarrassed, but said nothing.
He still looked angry. No matter what, his daughter suffered all these because of this man.
"If you can't handle these people well, how can you say that you can protect Linda?" said Vern, still
unhappy, for he had a very bad impression of Emily.
The woman was the source of Melinda's nightmare. And the person who brought her was Jonas. In the
final analysis, it was all because of Jonas.
"I know. I'll take care of this. But Linda is not in a good mood now. Dad, please take good care of her
first."
Jonas didn't retort to Vern. He even thought that it was all his fault. Now that there was something
wrong with Melinda and his presence would only stimulate her, he thought it would be better not to
appear for the time being.
His attitude made Vern feel that it was a waste of time to say anything. The young man in front of him
knew everything, but there were countless setbacks in some things that seemed simple.
"That's enough. You go and deal with these messes. I will take good care of Linda." With these words,
Vern stood up and left straight away. Seeing that Vern listened to his words, Jonas felt secretly
relieved.
During Emily's recovery at home, she met Jerry. It was rare that he came to see her early in the
morning. When he saw her look, he even asked about it and gave her some ointment that could
remove the scars.
"You look like a drowned mouse." Looking at Emily, Jerry could not help teasing. Thinking of that day
they cheated her in the name of Jerry, Emily could not help complaining in her heart.
"Jonas's not silly, but don't take him for a fool. You see what happened this time, don't you?" Jerry had
seen it with his own eyes. When the accident happened to Melinda, Jonas looked like suffering from
shock.
Melinda was his life. As long as Melinda felt bad, Jonas would be no better.
The best thing he could do was to let Melinda die, completely ruining Jonas.
"You weren't that indecisive when you were in the past. How come you let Melinda go? You want her to
snitch on you?"
While saying that, Jerry's anger made Emily more excited. At the thought of the badly reproachful
words and beats to Melinda by herself, Emily felt a sense of relief. However, the wound on her body
reminded her of the fact that it was all brought by Melinda.
"You'd better do the same thing as before to make her disappear in this world. Isn't it a good idea?"
The corners of his mouth were full of evil smile, and he said something that would make people
tremble. But after listening to it, Emily thought it made sense.
It would be the greatest punishment for Melinda to make her disappear in such a way.
After resting a few days at home, Melinda received a call from Emily. Emily asked her to go to the
beach. Although Melinda did not know why Emily called her, she knew that there was absolutely
nothing good about it.
If it was in the past, she would definitely find a way to refuse, but this time she didn't want to avoid. She
agreed.
"Okay, I'll come over then."
Melinda felt that not only did she need to make a clean break with Jonas, but also between her and
Emily. It was just that the relationship of her and Emily was not as peaceful as it seemed.
She recovered well in the past two days and Vern was finally relieved a lot. Melinda did not hide
anything from her father and told him that she was going to see Emily.
"Dad, she is a nightmare in my heart. I have to find a way to get rid of it. Otherwise, I can't be happy
forever,"
Melinda said in a deep voice. Her father didn't know how to stop her. She looked gentle, but she was
stubborn.
She had sworn again and again that she would be fine, so Vern had no choice but let her go.
However, he didn't know that Melinda had hidden a knife in her bag. She wanted to cut off the
relationship with Emily, and this was doomed to be a miserable one.
Emily was a cruel person. She did not expect that the so-called kindness could make her back to the
reality and get redemption. Emily's heart had been distorted.
In her world, others were just stumbling block.
Today, she, the biggest stumbling block, would definitely drop her to death, even if they would perish
together.
After Melinda going out, Vern was still worried, so he called Jonas, telling him that she would meet
Emily at the seaside.
He had overheard their conversation by accident. He thought that Melinda would hide it from him, but
she told him directly that she was going to see Emily to make an end.
Hearing this, Jonas's heart missed a beat. His intuition was not good when he heard about the place by
the sea. A person like Emily had a history. She led Melinda to the sea before, and Jonas thought that
she was going to push Melinda into the sea.
"Dad, I see. I'm going to find Linda now. Don't worry. I promise I will keep her safe." Jonas's voice
became unstable. He quickly took the car key and left.
He was racing along the way to the seaside, and he must stop Melinda before she got there.
Melinda took a taxi to the seaside. The vast sea gave her a temporary relief. She simply parked the car
and slowly walked on the coastal road.
Not far away, Emily stood there and waved at her. The smile on her face was as same as before, but in
her bones, it was already dark.
"You came so early." Emily looked at Melinda and said with a smile. She hadn't had time to make any
further arrangement.
Just as the words fell from her lips, they heard a sound of emergency brake. Then a familiar figure
appeared in front of them.
