Chapter 169 Are You Awake I&##x27;m Here To Pick You Up

Polly quickly read the message from Hal. The more she read, the more thrilled she was.

Her guess was right. A few years ago, when she was forced to get married, the leading man was
Simon Shen, and the heroine was the woman on the celestial position, Ellie Chu.

They were a couple and had been engaged at the age of sixteen. However, no sooner had she
engaged than she drowned. However, the cause of death was not simple. There were many versions of
murder and suicide on the Internet. However, the most widely spread was that people were not fully
prepared before swimming, and they suddenly died with cramps and weeds after swimming.

Seven years later, Simon graduated from the University. Regardless of the strong opposition of his
family, he married with Ellie, who had been dead for many years.

She really couldn't understand what kind of unforgettable love was that made a living person willing to
marry a dead person, and that was seven years later. It was not appropriate for such a person to say
that he was not infatuated, but this love was too terrifying.

It was estimated that Simon Shen must have wanted to marry Ellie Shen a long time ago, when they
got engaged at the age of sixteen, or earlier. But he was too young at that time, so many things could
not be decided and the time was not ripe. So, he had waited silently for seven years!

After they graduated from the University, no one knew what the Shen family had experienced that
allowed him to do such a disgusting thing.

The words warning her when the woman in black left were still ringing in her ears.

"Miss Chu is the love of Mr. Shen. No matter how many women Mr. Shen will have in the future, her
status will never change. You, including those women who had been with Mr. Shen, can't compete with



them. If you want to spend the rest of your life with Mr. Shen, please don't mention Miss Chu in front of
him. "

"I thought Mr. Shen would never bring women back. Since you're the second one, it means there's
going to be a third, fourth one. It's nothing new from now on. You don't have to be complacent about it,
because that's why you think you can step into Mr. Shen's world. Let me tell you, this is far from
enough. Try your best to please Mr. Shen and stay with him longer is your duty. "

As far as he knew, she was the second woman brought back by John. The first woman should be Avril.
The woman in black misunderstood her relationship with Simon. Although she was taken back to the
island, there was another reason.

She had been here before and knew the affairs between Simon and Ellie? Did the woman in black
mean that Avril once wanted to interfere in their affairs, but ended up with a tragedy?

For example, now, Simon was not only insulting her, but also punishing Avril.

Poor Avril! Why did she meet this kind of abnormal man!

Her thoughts were interrupted by Hal's ringtone. She took a look at the screen and found that the signal
had come, although it was a few steps from the room door. The thousands of island was really a
dangerous place with numerous signal.

"Dear Polly, have you received the message I sent to you? It's the first time that I have typed in such a
short time. It hurts! " His voice was quite exaggerated. After going through so many things, now he
sounded quite refreshed.

"I got it. Thank you."



"We are best friends. You don't need to say 'thank you'." "Are you kidding me? Where are you and Avril
now? I didn't even see any Wi Fi. What are you doing! Do you want to take a field camping? " Hal
began to complain, "you're not taking me with you. That's not fair!"

Thinking that Hal was so stupid, Polly replied impatiently, "I'll take you with me next time! Okay, the sun
will wake up after two or three hours. You should get some more sleep. "

"Why do you wake me up? It's late! This is how I feel. It's easy to fall asleep. But when I'm woken up,
no matter when I wake up, I can't sleep any more. "

"Then I'm going to sleep!" If Polly was afraid to continue talking about this, Hal would ask where she
was and if he knew, there would be no good but one more person to worry about.

'my weak body doesn't allow me to waste my time. It's better for me to know nothing at all, ' he thought.

"Dear Polly, are you kidding? Do you take me for a fool! Now you can even let me check information
online. It means that you can't go to bed now! Tell me the truth, where have you been with Avril! I called
you many times today, but you didn't answer! Tell me, what happened? "

"Avril and I are fine now. You don't need to worry about us! What I care about is why you called me? "
"Why do you want to see me?"

"Nothing? Can't I miss you? "

"No way! It's not the right time! I said, I'm going to sleep! I'm really sorry to wake you up. If you have
any dissatisfaction, you can come to me tomorrow! If you really can't fall asleep, you can help me to
find out how the woman who had been married to Ellie died! Bye! " Realizing that it was not a good
time to talk, Polly hung up at once. She didn't care what Hal thought, as he couldn't go to bed now.



She asked him to investigate the cause of Ellie's death, for two reasons. One was that she was worried
that he would do woolgathering; the other was that she wanted to know. Simon's hatred towards Bruce,
his relationship with Avril, and her being involved made her feel that this matter was very complicated.
She must know clearly about the whole thing.

For the sake of Avril, he needed a psychiatrist to cure his mental illness. If something must happen
between Avril and Simon, or if Avril was no longer in love with that man, then Ellie's death would be a
huge push.

Hal called her several times, but she rejected every time. She could imagine how furious that
gentleman must be at the moment.

At last, he gave in and sent her a message.

Dear Polly, I don't know what you are going to do. But since you want me to find out the cause of her
death, I will do it. Wish you and Avril safe and sound. If anything happens, do let me know.

There was some light outside the window, and the day was coming soon. At the eve of the coldest and
dark dawn, Polly felt warm in his heart.

It was enough for a person to meet a friend who really cared for him in his whole life.

When Polly woke up, she found herself lying on a soft and comfortable bed. Without any time to
scream, she immediately sat up and checked her clothes. She was all dressed up and there was no
trace of being touched, just like last night. But she remembered she rested at the stairs last night. She
didn't know when she fell asleep, let alone the reason why she went to bed now.

Looking around, she found this room was the one she escaped last night, which was where Avril was
with Simon



Then how did she come here? At that time, she was in a sound sleep and had no impression of her at
all.

"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a slight knock on the door from outside.

She nervously grabbed the quilt and covered her upper body, asking warily, "who is it?"

"Dear Polly, it's me. Are you awake? I'm here to pick you up. " Outside came the gentle voice of the
man like the warm spring sun.

"Bruce!" Without any hesitation, she lifted the quilt and rushed to the door without even putting on her
shoes. "Bruce, is that you? Are you here? "

"It's me. Come and open the door."

She opened the door abruptly. When she saw the man standing at the door with a gentle smile, she
couldn't believe her eyes. Why was he still standing there.

"Why... Why are you here? Where's Jean? Have she been rescued? " After hesitating for a while, this
sentence was out of his mouth. Polly felt humiliated.

"Dear Polly!" As if a glimmer of hope flashed across his eyes, Bruce directly ignored this question. He
strode into the room and pulled her into his arms, stretching out his arms to embrace her tightly. But
soon he let go of her and carefully looked at her with a pair of concerned eyes.

He looked from head to foot and then took her in his arms. He smelled salty and cold, making her skin
painful.

"Dear Polly, did you sleep well last night?" Bruce whispered in her ear, like a stream of ocean sparkling
with the golden sunlight. "Do you miss me?"



She hadn't been with him for a long time. She was not used to the way he treated her. In fact, even
when she was most intimate with him, she was also shy.

As if he didn't intend to hear her answer, a hot kiss fell on her neck, and his hands grabbed her back
and pressed her into his arms.

"Dear Polly, I miss you! I miss you so much!" As he murmured, his soft lips moved up along her ear, to
her cheek, then to her lips.

Instead of a deep kiss, they were so close that the tip of his tongue slid across her lips and teeth.

The arms he put around her were so tightly that she was almost out of breath, but she was also
reluctant to push him away. She just let him embrace her, both sweet and painful.

After a long time, Bruce finally let go of her. He stretched out his hand and raised her face, laughing,
"you have dark circles under your eyes. You must miss me so much that you can't fall asleep when you
are hungry."

"Of course not!" She was taken aback by her own voice, and wondered why such a normal person
would look so coquettish at the sight of him.

Holding her red cheeks in his hands, Bruce lowered his head to give her a light kiss on the lips, and
said with a smile, "you still don't admit it? If you don't believe me, just look at yourself in the mirror! "

"No way!" It was not easy for her to see him, so she didn't want to waste her time on those
meaningless things.

"Then I need to get dressed! There is a saying that a woman will doll herself up for her lover. I'm not
here to see the old lady! I don't like Smoked makeup, either! " Then he pushed her into the bathroom.

"I'm done. Let's have breakfast together."



Half dreamy and half awake, she looked like she was not in a dream! From being kidnapped at the
banquet to being forced out of the room by Simon last night, these days seemed to be an unreal dream
for her.

It was just a nightmare. Now she woke up, would she be all right?

But when she saw the messy hair and sallow face in the mirror, she was almost scared to cry out. Was
she still her?

She took a closer look at the two black shadows under her eyelids. Not only her makeup, but also a
vampire that had just climbed out of the grave.

When Bruce ran all the way over here, he saw her in such a bad condition at first sight. He must be
very disappointed?
