Chapter 17
Lena once again deleted the video sent by Hunter without even watching it, and wearily closed her email.
The mood that had already improved originally became gloomy again
because ofment.
When the first video came in, she thought it was from a good friend in America. But when she saw the sea in the picture and Hunter’s bruised face, she felt extremely disgusted.
And in the end of the video, he actually jumped down.
Lena was startled. That night, she was terrified because she was worried that Hunter would really commit suicide, and she didn’t get a good night’s sleep all night.
From then on, he kept sending places they had been to and food they had eaten together in the past. Watching Hunter, who was now looking affectionate, she felt disgusted and once again haunted by nightmares.
That day, after she finished class and was about to go to lunch with Nathan, she heard someone calling her name from behind.
When she turned around, she was surprised to see Hunter’s group of good friends appearing on the campus.
“How did you find your way here?”
Seeing this group
of people, memories of being bullied flooded back into
Lena’s mind, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.
“Lena, go back, Hunter needs you.”

At that time, the friend handed her the photos of Hunter being hospitalized with a broken bone.
not more
The person in the photo looked even more haggard and frail than in the video, but Lena didn’t want to look, nor did she care.
She was just thinking, why had she already sacrificed herself for him and Eleanor, yet he still lingered around her like a ghost.
Lena’s fingers were trembling slightly, but her face remained stern. “Ask Hunter for me, has he acted sentimental enough?”
“This is not a show! In order to find your matching lock, he climbed too high on the mountain top, accidentally fell into a tree, and also broke his leg.”
“Although I don’t know what happened between you two, he does know he was wrong and has broken up with Eleanor. Can you give him a chance? Go back and see him?”
“Opportunity? Lena chuckled bitterly.
“How many chances have I given him? If only he had trusted what I said, if only he hadn’t gotten involved with that woman Eleanor and abandoned me, maybe we still had a chance. But now, he has destroyed all those chances himself!”
Speaking of this matter, Lena was very excited, as if all the grievances from the past had gathered and erupted at this moment.
“In the future, whether Hunter is alive or dead, it has nothing to do with me. You can go now.”
Lena waved her hand in resignation and turned to leave.
They didn’t stop, and a friend was about to grab her shoulder, but was hit on the arm by a force.

“Damn it! Who do you think you are! he scolded.”
Standing by Lena’s side the whole time, Nathan, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, finally figured out the whole story behind
the incident.
Finally I understood why Lena always had a stiff face and looked so pained when we first met.
Seeing several men trying to block his way, he could no longer bear it and raised his hand to stop them.
“Me? Nathan wrapped his arm around Lena’s waist. “I was Lena’s boyfriend.“”
Lena was taken aback by the words, but quickly regained her composure and took the initiative to interlock her fingers with Nathan’s.
“Did you see that? I have a boyfriend now. Please go back and tell Hunter not to disturb my life anymore, and stop sending me those cryptic videos. I won’t watch any of them.
Several people did not expect things to turn out this way, so they could only leave dejectedly.
Seeing them leave, Lena finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the tightly held hand.
“Sorry, I took advantage of you again.
Upon hearing this, Nathan shook his head and smiled, “You can always count on me whenever you need.”
Watching his sincere expression, Lena was slightly stunned and lowered her head to hide her flushed cheeks.
“But can you tell me? What exactly did you go through in the past?”

Lena looked into the eyes of the man in front of her, she wanted to tell him everything, Lena felt she could temporarily soothe her wounds.
Under Nathan’s gaze, Lena recounted her past. Before she could finish, she was embraced by Nathan.
“I didn’t expect you to go through so much, but I believe everything will be fine, everything will pass.”
Lena listened to Nathan’s comforting words and silently cried on his
shoulder.
“Sorry, it was my fault for being rude.”
“It’s okay to cry, it means you want to walk out.”
“However, have you really let go of those pains?”
Lena heard his words, raised her head again, thought for a moment, and
did not answer.
That evening, Nathan’s words lingered in her mind as Lena stood on the balcony of her apartment, staring at Hunter’s number on her phone for a full ten minutes.
It’s time to put an end to all of this.
In the end, she pressed the call button.
“Hello, who is this? came Hunter’s weak voice from the other end.”
“It was me, Lena.”
Lena’s tone was calm but terrifying, yet he seemed to not hear at all.
“Lena! Is it really you, Lena! I miss you so much…”
Hunter’s voice was hoarse and excited, with the distinctive sound of

medical equipment dripping in the background of the hospital.
“Hunter, we were together for eight years. You made a promise to me that you would only love me. Even though you lost your memory and fell in love with someone else, I didn’t care about that past and chose to be with you. But how did you treat me?”
that
“Can one sentence from her make you forget everything between us?”
“Hunter, don’t send me any more messages in the future. The harm I have suffered is something you can never make up for.”
“I didn’t say goodbye to you before, but today I officially tell you that we have broken up. Please don’t
disturb my life anymore.”
Hunter seemed taken aback, b
I’m really sorry, I know
You are my only love…”
her words, stammering, “Lena? I’m sorry… was wrong… Can you give me another chance?
“Hunter, I don’t need your cheap love, I will never forgive you.”
The call was disconnected, Lena blocked the number. The night wind kept blowing on her, but she no longer felt cold.
