NovelApexThat night, my phone abruptly started vibrating. It wokeup while | was sleeping soundly.
| forgot to mute it again.
| looked at the time. It was two o'clock in the middle of the night. Who could it be?
I took a closer look, and it was from Marius.
| sat up, switched on the small light, and answered the phone. "Don't tellyou're still outside?"
Marius' drunken voice cfrom the receiver. "Sis Wan, I-I feel a little confused now. C-Can you cand pick
"Why are you drunk again?" There was helplessness in my voice. | got out of bed, grabbed my phone, and took
out sclothes from the closet. "Tellwhere you are." | went downstairs after changing my clothes.
The lights in the living room were still on. Drover was sitting on the sofa, and | was startled by his motionless
appearance. "Oh my God, why are you still here?"

Looking at me, Drover frowned. "Why did you cdown so late?"
"Because of Marius. What else could it be? He got drunk and calledto pick him up."
Hearing this, Drover stood up and picked up the jacket on the sofa with one hand. "It's late. I'll go. You stay
home."
Did they not just have an argument? Could it be that...
Not daring to think further, | said, "Let's go together so that there's one other person there to take care of him."
"Alright." Drover did not reject me, probably because he was worried about Marius' bad temper.
We got into the car and went to the
bar together peeked at Drover several times while we were in the car. | wanted to ask him what was going on,
but thinking that neither of them had wanted to tellanything before this, | no longer wanted to ask.
Seeing that | was hesitant to speak, Drover smirked. "Wanda, | know you're curious, but now is not the time. It's

His words puzzled me. | looked at Drover and suddenly felt that he was a very deep person. He had a lot of
things hidden in his heart.

thoughts.
Drover stopped the car at the red light at the intersection.
His hands were on the steering wheel. He grasped it tightly before releasing it again. He looked as if he was
making a decision. Drover
looked at me. "Wanda, if you fiol.ne

one day that someone isn't as good as you thought, what would you do?"
| was stunned by this question. "Why do you ask that?"
"For example, he did something that disappointed you very much. It had an even greater impact, which affected
many people." Drover's voice was indifferent even when he was talking about serious
Consequences.
My heart trembled as | looked away. "I might hate him if he inflicted pain on innocent people."
One could probably tell that Drover was stunned when he heardsay this.
He did not say anything for a long time.
We continued to our destination.
We walked into a noisy bar, and the dazzling lights made it difficult to see faces.
There were a lot of people around me, making it difficult to move forward, but Drover found me. He cover
and broughtforward. | was able to escape then.
It took us a while to find Marius, who was paralyzed on the sofa-drunk and unconscious.
"Marius, Marius," | called him loudly, but it seemed futile as we were in a place like this.
| watched as Drover poured a glass of cold water on his face...
