Queen Revenge

Chapter 123: All the Way North, No Turning Back



I looked out the car window and said in a normal tone, “Both.”

As the words fell, I could feel Walker Richter’s gaze lingering on me for a few seconds, after which he drove with his eyes leveled ahead, “In the future, you should stay out of big brother and sister-in-law’s affairs.”

Hearing this, I knew that the matter of delivering the letter for Tina Deross was exposed.

I pursed my lips and said, “I was moved with compassion because I saw my sister-in-law’s pity, and my big brother was domestically abusive to her, one time worse than the other, and since she got pregnant, her health has gotten even worse, and I’m worried …”

“That’s not for you to worry about.” Walker Richter interrupted me, “Big brother loves sister-in-law very much, there is no one in this world who loves her more than big brother.”

Love?

I seriously don’t see that love built on domestic violence?

I was very curious, “How did sister-in-law marry big brother in the first place?”

Walker Richter sighed helplessly, he had just warned me to mind my own business, but I couldn’t help but get to the bottom of it.

Walker Richter pondered for a while and said, “I’m not sure, back then, big brother brought Tina Deross back and directly announced to the family that the two were married, Alva, every couple has their own mode of getting along with each other, and the mode that you don’t agree with doesn’t mean that there is something wrong with their relationship, and if big brother didn’t know that Tina Deross didn’t mean anything to Leon Murphy, it wouldn’t have been a half-assed beating, it would have been straight up lifeless, don’t underestimate how much a man cares about a woman.”

Does Ben Richter really love Tina Deross as much as Walker Richter says he does?

I stared at Walker Richter and casually asked, “Did you and Tina Deross know each other at an early age?”

“A couple years.” Walker Richter answered somewhat ambiguously.

Perhaps he didn’t realize that Tina Deross had him in mind.

I didn’t want to continue on the topic of Tina Deross.

The road to the Great Wall is a bit far, I put the car seat down, lying down and closing my eyes to rest.

I didn’t actually fall asleep, I was awake the whole way, and I hadn’t told anyone about my decision to prepare to leave North City today, not even Fiona Croix.

After today, maybe a few hours, he and I would be scattered to the ends of the earth.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

The car drove gently down the road, and halfway through, Susan Su called, and Walker Richter answered, “I’m with Alva… I’m not available today… okay… contact me if anything comes up.”

A few short words and he hung up.

From the content of the conversation, nothing else could be heard.

But if I were to savor it, I would find something wrong.

I shook off the nonsense in my mind and adjusted my posture.

Two hours later, we arrived home at the foot of the Great Wall.

It was a particularly nice day, and there were more people coming to the Wall than I had expected, quite a few tour groups.

Walker Richter stopped the car, worried about too crowded accident, he has been holding me.

I stared at the ten fingers clasped hands, heart warming, I did not want to go on with this man, but I do not want to go on with this man, but I do not want to go on with this man, but I do not want to go on with this man, but I do not want to go on with this man.

Walker Richter carried a lot of things on his back, food and drink, every time I walk a distance, he will ask me if I am thirsty, hungry, take care of me, there is a feeling of love.

I stroked my belly, tilted my head and asked him, “Have you got a good name for the baby?”

He was honest: “Not yet.”

“Then think of one now.” I wanted our baby to be named by him.

He rubbed my hair, a smile overflowing from his brows, “There’s no rush, the child’s name has to be careful, not hasty.”

I’ve seen him sign several hundred million dollar contracts without this much hesitation.

Eyes gazing into the distance, blue sky and white clouds, clear wind, I looked at him and smiled, “Then I will first give the child a small name, no matter boy or girl, all called Tuanzi.”

In this life, our family may not be able to be reunited.

“Good, whatever you pick sounds good.”

Looking at his face, my heart sank, I inclined my head to gather my emotions, and I said, “Let’s walk further ahead.”

Walker Richter, the Great Wall is a long way, but I can’t accompany you too far.

After about two hours of walking, the wind picked up and it looked like it was going to rain.

When we got off the Wall, I went to the restroom as an excuse to separate from Walker Richter in the crowd.

He was waiting outside the restroom. I don’t know who called him, but he didn’t notice when I left the restroom quietly and didn’t enter the crowd.

Maybe it was God’s will.

Walker Richter, goodbye.

Walking out of the scenic spot, I immediately stopped a cab and left. In order to prevent Walker Richter from tracking my whereabouts from the cab driver, I asked the driver to stop at a camera-less road.

I had already checked the route of this neighborhood on the Internet, and after getting out of the car, I took a shortcut with my small bag on my back.

Walker Richter before will my ID card are collected, today out, Walker Richter with my ID card, I just took the opportunity to have gotten in hand.

The path did not go far, the rain fell.

I didn’t have an umbrella, and there was no place to hide from the rain around me, not to mention no vehicles coming and going, so I could only brave the rain and keep going.

I had to leave North City as soon as possible, otherwise Walker Richter would find out that I had escaped and it would be difficult to leave.

Just after I had walked for half an hour, drenched to the skin, a van drove up from behind, blocking my way and stopping in front of me.

My heart thumped, thinking I was in trouble, but then I heard a familiar voice coming from the car, “Alva, get in the car.”

I thought I had misheard the voice, but when I looked through the window, it was really Ulysses Will.

Ulysses Will pulled open the car door, the rain was too heavy, I didn’t think about why he appeared here, and got into the car first.

The rain was soaking the car down my pant legs, Ulysses Will told the driver in front of him to drive and brought me a towel, “Wipe it off, don’t catch a cold.”

“Thanks.” I wiped my hair haphazardly, there was no way I could dry my clothes, and looking out the car window at the pouring rain, I asked, “Why are you here.”

I hadn’t told anyone I’d left today, and how Ulysses Will had found me in the middle of nowhere.

His leg wasn’t healed yet, and the plasterboard hadn’t even been removed.

“I wasn’t sure about you, knowing that sooner or later you’d leave and wouldn’t willingly stay with THE Richter family, I asked Bella Hill to keep an eye on you for me, and knowing that you were going out with Walker Richter today, I figured you might choose to leave today.”

“Lately I always feel like there is a pair of eyes watching me, it turns out to be Bella Hill, she also knows that I am leaving today?”

With Bella Hill and I feuding, how could she possibly help me.

Ulysses Will knew my concern and said, “She’ll keep her mouth shut.”

He said it with such certainty, but I was uneasy.

Ulysses Will asked me, “Where are you planning to go? Walker Richter will find out soon and you won’t be able to leave then.”

“Take me to the bus station.”

Only the bus station is not now a real-name ticket holder, and it still hides your tracks.

“You can think it, Walker Richter can think it just as well, it’s better if I send you away.”

He was right, so much time had passed that Walker Richter was afraid he had people guarding the various bus stations.

After some thought, I agreed with Ulysses Will’s suggestion.

“Head south.”

Ulysses Will told the driver to turn right and head south, after which he asked me, “What’s the plan going forward?”

“One step at a time.”

I had no specific plans; once I left the North Side, Pear orchard, and Walker Richter, everything was new.

Ulysses Will spent six hours driving me out of North City, and when I stepped out of the dividing line, I told Ulysses Will to pull over, “I’ll need to walk the rest of the way on my own, thanks.”

It would be unsafe for him to give me another ride instead.

If I disappeared, Walker Richter would be looking for Martin Mo, Ulysses Will, and Fiona Croix, all of whom were familiar with me.

Ulysses Will didn’t force himself on me and gave me a black handbag, “Inside are clothes for you, take care of yourself on the way.”

I hesitantly took the handbag, I really didn’t think he had thought of me so well.

I couldn’t possibly pack my things in front of Walker Richter, when I left, I only had my ID card and a few hundred dollars in cash on me, I didn’t take my bank card, and I couldn’t use it.

I looked at Ulysses Will sitting in the car, always thinking he was a little too calm today.

“Ulysses Will, are you okay? You and Bella Hill…”

“We’re getting married.” Ulysses Will said, “The sixth of next month.”

Getting married was obviously a big deal, but there wasn’t a hint of joy on his face.

“Is that the condition of Bella Hill’s promise to keep her mouth shut?”

Ulysses Will gave a smile, “Alva, I can finally do something for you, and I wish you the best of luck on the road ahead.”

His words made my throat hard.

I stood still with my umbrella and watched Ulysses Will leave, the rain never stopped and it was getting dark.

There was no car at all now, so I just had to find a place to stay first.

I don’t trust Bella Hill, so after Ulysses Will left, I didn’t continue south, but went west.

The journey was uneventful, I stopped a van on the road, got a ride, and found a hotel to stay at in a small county.

This hotel doesn’t require real-name registration, so you can muddle through by paying an extra hundred bucks.

I stayed at the hotel, took a hot shower, and when I changed clothes, I realized that Ulysses Will had put tens of thousands of dollars in cash in his bag for me.

Cash was the last thing I needed right now.

I sat on the edge of the bed and looked out the window, the rain tonight was like that night I stayed at the hotel with Walker Richter on the way back from the cemetery.

That night, we slept in each other’s arms, and with his body heat, my body was warm.

And tonight, I have only the baby in my belly with me.
