The next day, as soon as Lucy woke up, she dragged her sick body to find Eisner.
"Leader of the werewolf clan, my last mission is in four days. After this mission is over, I want to leave the team and go home."
"Here is my report for leaving the team."
Members of the werewolf clan don't ask about their origin or destination and their lives are not guaranteed.
However, there must be rules for coming and going. Leaving the organization without permission and ignoring the organizational discipline will result in a global hunt by the Werewolf Alliance.
Eisner stared at Lucy expressionlessly for a long time. Finally, he waved his subordinates away and let out a soft sigh.
He reached out his hand to hug Lucy, but she dodged.
"Lucy, why are you so stubborn? You've made such a big mistake, but you won't even admit it?"
Mistake? Lucy couldn't figure out what mistake she had made.
The only mistake was that she had kicked Isabella too lightly yesterday. It wasn't satisfying enough.
Eisner sighed, "Forget it, I won't argue with you."
"Since you've come to your senses, go home and wait for me. At most one year, after I've arranged Isabella and her child, I'll come to you. Whenever you want to be together, I'll agree."
The irony in Lucy's heart showed on her face, "Leader of the werewolf clan, there's no need to mention the matter of being together again. My family has already arranged a marriage partner for me. I'm just waiting to go back."
Because of her words, Eisner felt as if needles were pricking his heart. The pain and anger made him tightly grip her hand.
"Besides me, who else can you marry? You've loved me since childhood and chased after me. Do you have to make me unhappy like this?"
"Can't you understand that I need time? If you keep forcing me like this, you can't go anywhere these days. You must go home with me."
Before Lucy could say a word, the door was pushed open by Isabella.
There was a hint of moisture in her eyes, as if she was about to cry.
"Eisner, am I interrupting you?"
The expression on Eisner's face softened.
"No, we're talking about work. What's wrong?"
"Well, you promised to drive me out for a spin today and buy a gift for the little werewolf cub. If it's inconvenient, forget it."
As if suddenly remembering this, Eisner picked up his coat.
"It's not busy. Let's go."
Lucy had no intention of watching them flirt, but Isabella insisted on dragging her along.
"Lucy, come with us, okay? You can help me with the selection."
Eisner stared at Lucy's unresponsive look with a deep - set gaze. The familiar irritability and pain in his heart welled up again.
He said coldly, "Lucy, I order you to go with us."
As the car drove out of the werewolf base, Isabella sat in the front passenger seat in a good mood.
"Sorry, Lucy. Since I get carsick, I have to trouble you to be the driver."
Lucy pretended not to hear. But as soon as the car drove onto the mountain road, an accident happened.
"The car's brakes are broken. We need to jump out of the car."
There was a rare look of panic on Eisner's face. "Lucy, keep the car on course. Isabella has a weak heart. Don't scare her."
"Jump out of the car?" Isabella started gasping again. "Eisner, I've never jumped out of a car before. It's very dangerous at this speed, isn't it? Will I die?"
Eisner comforted her, "Don't be afraid. I can take you with me. Hold onto me. I won't let you get hurt."
"Lucy, don't unbuckle your seat - belt. You must stay and control the direction of the car. Isabella has no experience. I'll take her out of the car, and then you can abandon the car."
Lucy's broken hand was still wrapped in gauze, and there were wounds on her back from the army - stick beatings last night.
The wounds that couldn't be soothed even by painkillers were so painful that she couldn't breathe as long as she moved slightly.
Her silence made Eisner's heart skip a beat.
"Did you hear me, Lucy? Buckle your seat - belt back on. I order you to stay and control the car's direction."
"I have to take Isabella with me. She's never experienced this before. You have experience."
After hearing the sound of Lucy buckling her seat - belt back on, Eisner pushed open the car door, used his body as a cushion for Isabella, and the two of them rolled onto the ground and landed safely on the shoal.
Lucy was sitting alone in the speeding car.
She was in pain all over.
Clearly, she had been abandoned countless times in her previous life, but why did it still hurt so much every time?
She smiled faintly, unbuckled her seat - belt, and told herself, "Lucy, even ants try to save their own lives. You shouldn't die here."
After saying that, regardless of the bleeding on her back, she unbuckled her seat - belt, pushed open the car door, and jumped out.
