Chapter 199 You&##x27;d Better Stay Away From Him

At about three o'clock in the morning, Polly woke up from nightmare. She was drenched in sweat all
over. She sat at the head of the bed, lost in thought for a long time.

It was pitch black outside. The light of the street lamps was dim and hazy. The moon in the sky was as
thin as a blade, and as sharp as an arrow stabbed into her heart.

In her dream, Bruce was hanging over the edge of the cliff and stretching out his hand to her. She was
scared to death and tried to pull him up, but somehow, she couldn't reach him.

In despair, he fell into the abyss.

She couldn't help but feel that there was something in the interior, small pieces of which seemed to be
broken by sharp scissors. The pain was unbearable, and the tears could not stop falling, like a stream
of mountain stream.

Just then, the phone screen near the pillow lit up. It was Avril.

After so many days' waiting and worrying, she finally received this call. The trepidation in her dream
had not gone away yet. Trembling, Polly reached for her phone. Her palms were sweaty. She grabbed
it for several times.

"Hello, Avril..." Her voice was trembling.

The girl did not speak. She heard a sound like sneer. She could not help but ask anxiously and irritably,
"is that you, Avril? where are you? Say something! "

There was no sound at all on the other end of the phone, but she didn't hang up. The deadly silence
had magnified the terror in her nightmares. She broke out in a cold sweat and lifted the quilt, almost
crying. "What's wrong with you, Avril? Why don't you say anything? "



She pressed her ear close to the phone screen as if she could hear the sound of dripping from the hair.
But in fact, it was useless. She was afraid of waking Fiona who was asleep. She put on her shoes, got
out of bed and walked out of the dormitory.

"Avril, say something! I'm Dear Polly! Can you hear me? " Polly was walking to the public toilet at the
other end of the dormitory. It was the farthest distance from the dorm. Besides, she didn't disturb the
other dorm except that she met one or two students occasionally.

It had been silent since she heard voice of sneer. Strangely enough, she didn't say anything or hang up
the phone.

She was thinking if Avril would call her secretly, but she was found and had to hang up. Then she didn't
hang up the phone, did this mean that Avril might be in danger.

But, Hal had said that all the signal on the island was blocked by Simon. If Avril was still on the island,
how could she call her? 'now that she can call me, does it mean that she has left the JC Island?'.

Her mind was in a mess, like she was in a big supermarket where millions of people went shopping.
The sound of buzz was buzzing.

She kept telling herself to calm down as soon as possible.

It suddenly occurred to her that she also made a call to Hal at that time. Did that mean that Simon's
blockade was a loophole? Avril had been imprisoned on the island by Simon for a long time, so she
must know it clearly.

So, where did she call that day?

That was the room in which Ellie was lying! Is that a place full of loopholes? So, was Avril in that room
now?



A picture came to her mind immediately. When Avril was about to call her, Simon broke in and
smashed her phone to the ground when they were arguing. So she answered the phone without a
word.

To verify her guess, Polly hung up the phone and called again.

It was a beep from the other end of the line. After only two rings, someone answered the phone. But it
was still very quiet on the other side. No matter what she said, the other party did not give her a single
response.

This was not the same as her guess before. In that case, Avril was always on the phone, but someone
didn't allow her to speak. Or she didn't have her phone now.

But it didn't make sense. If someone wanted to deceive her with Avril's phone, he should have said
something.

"Hey, I don't care who you are. Say something! Tell me where Avril is now. What do you want? Tell me
what you want me to do, or I won't know. " Polly stood by the window and the cold wind blew in the
early morning through the open window, which made her calm down gradually.

After that, there was some sound from the phone. Polly's heart was beating so fast that she held her
breath and listened carefully. But the next moment, she heard a sharp and sharp sound like metal
rubbing. She felt a burst of pain in her eardrum because of the shock. The scary sound lasted for about
ten seconds and then she heard a sentence.

"I'm Avril." In a disturbing sharp noise, Avril's voice sounded unusually weak and blurred. After being
stunned for a long time, Polly recognized that it was her voice.

"Avril, what's wrong with you?" Her heart was like being tied by a rope. Her weak voice reminded
people of a dying patient.



After a long while, there was no sound from the other end of the line. Polly kept asking a few more
questions. Suddenly, there was no more sound on the other side, as silent as before.

"Avril, what's wrong with you?" Polly was so agitated that she was about to stamp her feet. Right at this
moment, a girl came in to go to the toilet and saw her almost driven crazy. She couldn't help staring at
her curiously.

Polly was not afraid to be seen as a monster, but she was afraid that what she heard on the phone
would have a bad impact on Avril. She was the focus of the whole school and almost everyone knew
her except some bookworm who read only the read-only and knew nothing about the outside world.

Because of her, Avril became a public figure in the campus. As long as they were not careful enough,
they would be gossiped and one or two person who embroidered the news, and the gold would also
become the straw.

"Dear Polly, I just want to tell you one thing. We can't trust Bruce. So you'd better be together with
Owen. " Avril paused for several times when she was speaking, and it was very difficult for her to finish
it.

"But why?"

Sweat broke out on Polly's forehead out of anxiety. Even if she stood at the window vent, she couldn't
dispel the heat that was constantly emerging from her body.

She didn't know where Bruce was now, but at this critical moment, Avril told her that she couldn't trust
him. Avril might know something, but she couldn't say anything seeing her like this.

"Don't ask why." Avril's breath was very heavy, and it took her a while to make two syllables. "You just
need to remember my words. You'd better stay away from him. He used to Dear Polly, it's better for you



not to know anything about it. Otherwise, you will make me sick. Anyway, you have to listen to me. You
have to trust me! "

The last sentence was stressed. It was not that Polly didn't believe in Avril, but the relationship between
her and Bruce couldn't be broken up so easily. She must know the reason. Even if he wanted to be
cruel, he wouldn't let her go through the pain which she went through a few years ago.

"Dear Polly! Promise me! Don't hesitate!" Avril stressed, "I finally got a chance to slip out and tell you
this. Now I have to go back. Dear Polly. I need you to do me a favor. "

"What is it?"

"Dear Polly! I'm in a rush. Don't disturb me. Listen to me all the time. I beg you to take care of grandpa
for me. Although Hal is there, Grandpa will be worried if he can't see me for a long time. You can only
pretend to be me in front of grandfathers. "

Avril's grandfather not only had a bad heart, but also had poor eyesight and hearing. He also had a
poor memory. The only thing he could distinguish was that it was a man or woman. He mistook young
female nurses for Avril many times.

"The day I left, Grandpa said he wanted to eat the green bean cake and I didn't get the chance to buy it
to him. He must think I lied to him." Avril sobbed in a low voice for a while, and then said intermittently,
"when you get there, buy some green bean cakes for him."

"Let me tell you, grandpa likes the fresh cakes with a sweet flavor which is steaming. There is a long
way from here to the hospital, you have to take a taxi, otherwise it will be cold. "

Tears welled up in Polly's eyes. She tried her best to hold back her tears.



"Grandpa was tough and strong when he was young, but now he's old. If he wants something to eat,
you have to buy it for him right away, or he will make trouble with you. He afraid of being alone. You
have to visit him often and talk with him... "

"Avril!" "Avril, what are you doing?". She turned her head to the side, avoided the microphone, and
wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

Just now, the girl who went to the toilet just came out. Under the influence of her gossip, she came over
and asked curiously, "excuse me, are you Polly? What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Polly shook her head and made a gesture of "please" to her, saying, "classmate, you'd better
go back to your dormitory to sleep now. Thank you very much."

That girl was snubbed. She rolled her eyes and murmured, "I offered to help? but now you turn me
down! No big deal. Even a fool can see that she has been dumped by Bruce. "

By tomorrow morning, the news that she was dumped by Bruce and hiding in the bathroom to cry
would spread all over the campus. It was hard to say. Fortunately, she was used to it.

When the girl's back disappeared in the hallway, Polly managed to make her mood clear and speak in
a bright voice, "Avril, stop talking nonsense. I'm experienced in taking care of elderly people. Don't
worry. But you have to take good care of yourself. Otherwise, Grandpa will feel sorry for you. "

Deep in the cemetery, Grandpa's lonely tomb was flashing in front of her eyes.

Tears not only blurred her vision, but also plunged her heart into a deep mud.
