“Franklin, we have to look for the students who were in Fiona’s class ten years ago to understand the situation better.”

Since they could not get an answer from Fiona, they could only look for an answer from somewhere else.

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements,” said Franklin.

Franklin graduated from there, so he knew a few people in the school.

He would try his best to find someone when the time came.

Lauren nodded, but her heart did not calm down. She just hoped that this ghost would not continue to cause trouble after leaving the school.

After leaving Thomas Johnson High School, Lauren followed Franklin home with a worried heart.

Everything was normal when they got home. However, there was a small incident when they were watching TV at night.

Local news was being broadcast on the TV, and one of the news caused a huge commotion today.

There was an accident that involved two cars on the main road.

The two cars overturned at the same time. The owner of the car in the back dragged his family to safety first. The owner of the car in front was alone in the car, and the car exploded before the people around him had the time to save him.

He died as a result.

Such accidents happened from time to time. There were always people who were distracted while driving, and full responsibility was placed on the owner of the car at the back.

Although the members of the Torres family were sad when they heard of such accidents, there was nothing they could do.

When Mr. Hayes saw the news, he began to remind Franklin to be careful while driving.

Every time he saw a news report about a traffic accident, Mr. Hayes would nag and everyone was already used to it.

The news soon reached the next segment, but Ruby, who was standing at the side, suddenly spoke up.

“These people who only know how to protect themselves and do nothing to save others are really disgraceful!”

Everyone heard what Ruby said as she did not speak softly.

Lauren asked in a low voice, “Ruby, what’s wrong with you?”

Lauren looked at Ruby and saw that she was staring at the TV. She was clutching her pants with both hands, and her fingertips were turning white.

She called out to Ruby again, and only then did Ruby come back to her senses. She shook her head and returned to normal.

At night, Lauren did not fall asleep earlier than Ruby. They were both lying on the bed.

Franklin had already turned off the lights for them, but Lauren was not sleepy today. She was lying in bed with her eyes wide open.

Lauren could feel that Ruby was not sleeping either, she was tossing and turning.

“Ruby, can’t you sleep?”

Lauren suddenly felt that this was a good time to chat. At this time, Ruby happened to be unable to sleep. Moreover, it was night. It was the easiest to let one’s guard down at night.

“If you can’t sleep, let’s talk.”

“What do you want to talk about?”

“Don’t be angry with what I am about to ask.”

Under the faint moonlight, Lauren saw Ruby nodding her head. “I won’t be angry.”

“Why didn’t your father come to visit you even after such a thing happened to you? I saw a lot of photos of you and your father at your house before, and he seemed to love you very much.”

After a moment of silence, Ruby said something that made Lauren fall silent.

She said, “But love can be shared with a lot of people. He has someone else he loves, so I’m not important anymore.”

Judging from what Ruby said, it seemed that she knew the truth.

Her father had another family.

“Do you hate him? Though he gave his love to someone else, he loves you too,” Lauren said.

“In my world, love is unique and exclusive. Even if he still loves me, once he gave his love to someone else, the love he gave me is reduced. It’s also mixed with impurities. I don’t want this kind of love.”

Unique?

Exclusive?

Lauren was confused. “So love is such a complicated thing?”

“Love is not complicated. It’s only complicated by people. People’s greed and desires are always infinite. Once you have one, you will want another.”

Lauren felt that Ruby tonight was more mature than Ruby in the past. Sometimes, Lauren could not understand what she was saying.

“Then…Ruby, why did your mother hit you? Doesn’t your mother love you?”

Ruby remained silent for a long time when she heard the question.

Lauren was so sleepy while waiting for an answer, she even thought that Ruby would not answer. While she was half asleep and half awake, she heard Ruby say, “It should be love. After all, it has been so many years. It should be love.”

But at this time, Lauren’s eyelids were already very heavy, and before she could answer Ruby, she fell asleep.. In her mind, she was pondering what Ruby meant when she said “it has been so many years”.
