    Chapter 1 Stay Alive!


    It was so painful that all the bones in lict body seemed to live shaltered.


    in the abandoned factory in the suburbs, girl was lying on the dusty concrete floor.


    Scarlet blood Ilowed out from 111c botlom ollier head, sind hier delicate litile face was so


    paleihat there was not atrace of blood underneath the skin.


    Another girl, who was also lifteen or sixteen years old, ran down the shabby stairs. Looking at


    the girl on the ground, she said with a guilty conscience, de, you fell down yourself. I didn’t


    push you. Don’t me me!”


    Jade Herring moved her iliin lips and wanted to speak, but she couldn’t make a sound,


    Lilly York was looking at the dying Jade on the ground. The fear and guilt in Lilly’s eyes were


    gradually reced by cruelty and satisfaction


    Lilly put on a freedy smile. A ne with a blue pendant hunt from Lilly’s fingertips. Lilly


    stared at the blue pendant on the nechace with greedy cyes.


    It‘s so beutiful! it looks like it has a sea of stars inside it must be a treasure


    Aller ad?niring the ne, Lilly nced at Jade and said, “My family adopted you out of kindness and


    provided you with food and clothing. It’s fine if you don’t know how to repay us. How can you keep


    bothering us because we’re taking this stupid ne from you? You’re so ungrateful!”


    Jade looked at the ne in Lilly’s hand.


    It‘s not a stupid ne. It was left to me by my parents!


    It was Jacob York who had made Jade’s parents die and took her family’s property and fortune. Jacob


    even pretended 10 adopt Jade. He treated her well in front of everyone, but he treated a dog better


    when there was no one around.


    Lilly liked to steal Jade’s things, and now Lilly even wanted to take away the only thing left by Jade’s


    parents, or course, Jatle was unwilling to let Lilly have it.


    Lilly smiled and approached Jade. Lilly was holding the ne above Jades’ face. Lilly swayed it


    back and forth. Lilly said, “Do you want it? If you want it take it yoursell.”


    Jade tried hard to raise her hand to take back her thing, but her bones seemed to be broken. Except for


    the slight movement of her fingers, Jade could not move her arms.


    Lillyughed happily. “Since you don’t want it, it belongs to me! Don’t ask me for it in the future.”


    Lilly look back the ne and put it on her neck. Lilly took out her phone and took a selfie.


    Looking at the selfie and touching the blue pendant, Lilly smiled with satisfaction. Lilly nced at Jade


    lying next to her feet and snorted. Lilly said, “Just wait here and die!” Alter that, Lilly turned around and


    capered away.


    Aller some time, Jade rradually became unconscious, and her soul seemed to be pulling way from her


    body bit by bit.


    No, I can‘t die like this. / ust live!


    As Jade iliouyhi of that, her body seemed to sueldenly receive a powerful forcede siruled to mover


    and lie on the ground. All the strength in her body rathered inler arms.


    Jade moved her petile and iliin body forward lintle by little, leaving blood everywhere she passed. Even


    if her wliole body hurt so much that Jadelelt numb, she did not stop at all.


    Aliering out of the abandoned factory and climbing over the prass, Jade nally crawled to ile side of


    the road. It


    was already nichtfall, and there were very few cars on the cumply road.


    Time passed by. Wlici Jade was in endless despair, a ck jeep finally drove over from a distance


    Jade’s dimeves shed with a gliminer of licht. Jade tried to raise lier slender arms and wave


    them in the air


    Finally, the car stopped by the side of the road. The backseat window slowly opened, and a


    cliscled profile appeared in


    front of Jade


    Jade raised her head and used thest of her strength to speak with difficulty. “Save me. Plcase


    save me.”


    The man looked down at the little girl who was in a sorry state on the side of the road with his


    long and narrow eyes. Jade was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Her body was stained with


    blood, and her pale face was covered with dirt. It did not make her look ugly. Instead, under the


    moonlight, Jade looked miserable and beautiful.


    Jade nced at the intermittent bloodstains behind her that extended all the way to the shabby


    factory not far away. Obviously, Jade climbed out from there. Jade looked like she was dying,


    but she looked tenacious and the light in her eyes was brighter than the starlight.


    Valentino subconsciously opened the car door and got off to approach her. He stood against


    the moonlight. With his tall and handsome figure, Valentino looked like a god. Only then did


    Jade see this man who had appeared in time like a cod. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Valentino’s facial features were chiseled, and he was extremely handsome. Jade had never seen


    such a good-looking man before. Valentino was a hundred times, a thousand times more good-


    looking than the male lead inic books.


    Jade watched as the man gradually approached her. She thought, he is going to save me,


    right?


    Jade opened her mouth and wanted to say thank you, but when the perfect face was close to


    her, Jade cked out.
