Seeing that Russell didn't bring up the Johnson family, Selena didn't continue the topic either.
"Alright, thank you," she said sincerely.
Russell replied, "She's my friend too. If she's in trouble, it's only right I help. Wait for my update." After saying that, he hung up the phone. Selena put down her phone and clasped her hands together in prayer.

"Another person means another bit of strength. You and Lucas are both unreliable!" Hearing this, Aaron's brows furrowed. "It's fine if you wanted to insult Lucas, but why draginto it?" Selena glanced at him, suddenly thinking about how the Fletcher family had always made things difficult for her. She felt wronged, and her face showed her frustration.
"You're all big jerks." "That's going too far." Aaron walked over, grabbed her chin, and looked at her unkindly, then leaned in to kiss her.

Aaron's brows tightened at her words. "What nonsense are you thinking?" Selena scoffed. "Isn't it true?" Every tin bed, he was like a ravenous wolf, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
Aaron reached out and playfully pinched her cheeks, puffing out her lips like a goldfish. "What's gotten into you, Selena?" he said. "Isn't it normal forto be interested in your body?

en Aaron sat down and pulled her into his arms. "I won't let anyone make you feel wronged." Leaning against his chest, Selena didn't respond for a while.

Wanda knocked and entered the room to see Aveline's eyes swollen. She let out a soft sigh.
"Miss Young, the weather is nice today. How about going outside to ΟΠ get sfresh air? Wanda suggested. Aveline, however, replied, "I'm blind. What difference does it make whether I go out or not?" Wanda was momentarily speechless.
After a long pause, she finally said, "I'll get your breakfast." Aveline fumbled her way to the bathroom, bumping into things along the way. When she finall the reached the sink, the search for counter began.
The whole process was painfully slow and exhausting.
By the tshe held the toothbrush and toothpaste, tears had already started to fall again.
