Chapter 41 Taking him home! (1/2)

Ethan peered at Lexi's pair of scared yet determined eyes before he sighed in defeat. ”Alright… I'll get you home.”

”We're not reporting it to the police?” Lexi inquired hearing that he would personally drive her home. Yet, she didn't complain about it as her whole being was still trembling in fear and Lexi was also uncertain if she could drive safely with her current state. Moreover, it might be a shame to admit it but Lexi was scared out of her wits.

”Don't worry about that,” Ethan reassured not going through the details. After all, they must safely leave this establishment first or at least, get in his car as he deliberately left his phone inside it so no one could disturb him, which he regretted now. Seeing Lexi obediently nodded in agreement, he slowly opened the van and cautiously peeked outside.

Alas, to his surprise, they were still equipped men outside yet, they didn't pay attention to him even though they had seen him. 'Ah, I feel so gullible.' Ethan Lu mumbled inwardly.

”Don't worry, chu~! Tito is a man of his words, they won't chase you, chu~!” Churu cheered excitedly. She reassured Lexi based on her intelligence. Hence, seeing Ethan's reluctance, Lexi passed Churu's reassurance in her way.

The parking space that should be filled with car alas, now, it seemed like a war base with how many individuals, all geared up surrounding the whole floor. Some of them turned their heads to them yet, they didn't pay much attention to them -- just like what Churu said.

Now, even without Churu's advice, Lexi would die just to go home. She shouldn't be afraid of death as she already experienced one but, that's the whole point! She already went halfway the gates of hell and was resurrected by a stroke of luck -- gaining a somewhat useless system with a cute manual.

However, when Lexi recovered and witnessed how her parents bawled their eyes like little kids, hence, Lexi oath that she won't cause them any more pain. She was given a second chance at life and she wanted to use it to the fullest -- with a peaceful and happy life.

Recalling all those heart-wrenching memories she had whenever Morris Liu would shun her, how she painfully shrugged his obvious hatred towards her, and how he flaunted his power to her parent to the extent of her dear father sucking up to his words; right before her eyes. With that, somewhat, some ways, Lexi managed to get a grip on herself.
