Victor lay down slowly, like a mechanical doll. He clutched his mobile phone and refused to let go, looking at the ceiling with his eyes open. It was unclear what he was thinking of.
It's impossible. Elinor won't leave. She doesn't dare to do so.
On the next day, Victor got up early to visit the Sue house instead of going to school.
He arrived at the Sue house with two black circles under his eyes. Obviously, he didn't sleep well last night. It was unclear why he was so tired.
When Wenny went out to throw the garbage, she saw Victor was about to ring the bell and walked forward to greet him. "Victor, why did you come here so early?"
He immediately greeted her. "Good morning, Wenny. I'm looking for Uncle Quincy."
He actually came to Elinor, but he changed the goal before he spitted it out.
Wenny was so amicable when she smiled. She held his hand and took him in. "He left early in the morning by air. I don't know his schedule. It is said that he left for an urgent matter."
"Ah, Uncle Quincy is not here?"
Victor thought for a while and asked carefully, "What about Elinor?"
Wenny was going to clean the kitchen when she heard his question, and she paused.
Aware of her reaction, he frowned slightly. "Was there anything occurring at home?"
"No, Victor." Wenny sighed, "In fact, I'll go back to my hometown after days."
Go back to her hometown?
His eyes widened. "Why? You take care of us well here. We all like you... Is Elinor driving you away?"
"No." She waved her hand. "She has a good heart. She won't drive me away. She seemed to have suffered from something recently, so she didn't come back. But when I asked Quincy about her, he said she was fine. My relatives were about to build a factory and asked me to help them, so I decided to go back."
"Don't you care about Elinor?"
Before, when Elinor lived with Victor, she took care of him. Later, he drove her away. After she went back to her house, Wenny took care of her. If Wenny also leaves, then nobody takes care of Elinor.
He was anxious when imagining she stayed at home lonely. "Where's Elinor now?"
"She hasn't come back for a period of time. I thought she lived back with you." Wenny was surprised. "Quincy didn't say anything, so I thought you buried the hatchet."
Bury the hatchet?
Their elders all thought Elinor just quarreled with Victor. They were childhood sweethearts. Although they argued with each other, they would bury the hatchet soon.
But in fact, it was not the case at all.
Victor hated Elinor most. But he didn't know why he still was worried about her safety now.
He suddenly stood up. "Wenny, I'll call Uncle Sue. If you are tired, go back to your hometown and rest for a while..."
"Well, if you have something to say, just call me. I will send you some special products later." She touched his hair and didn't notice his anxiety. "Are you here to find Uncle Sue this time?"
"Hmm..." He didn't want to tell the truth, so he echoed. He was so good at acting.
"Then I'll go first." He waved his hand, and she sent him to the door. He arrived here a few minutes ago, but now he had to leave again. He went out, stood on the road at the door watching cars whizzing by, and suddenly felt lonely.
On the other end of the phone, Rankin took off his glasses and supported his chin with one hand, imagining about Victor's expression.
What expression will Victor have now?
Will he be shocked or sad?
Will he be regretful?
Rankin shook his head. No, he won't. Victor said he didn't care.
Thought of this, Rankin added, "Elinor agreed to the school's suggestion."
"Is this the school's advice?"
Victor raised his voice. "I never heard..."
"Because you're the victim, so the school didn't ask for your advice." Rankin pretended to be cold. "Elinor was beaten by girls for these photos taken secretly. Later, it went viral, and the school knew this gossip."
The school Knew it.
Victor turned nervous.
"So it punished her according to the rules and regulations." Rankin patted the table. "First, the school violence was mainly attributed to her. Second, her behavior brought much effect on the reputation of the school. After consideration, it decided to expel her."
Expel her.
