Standing in front is Guido, the stepfather, a strong man with a shiny, slicked-back hairstyle like a Lego doll.
The hair looked like it could be put on completely and then taken off.
She started to have random thoughts like Gwen, but remained silent.
She hated her family and school, and it was this oppressive atmosphere that led her to leave.
For her, the most painful thing was a life without a future, so she wanted to exile herself.
I feel like I'm constantly going against the current in a river, gradually being submerged, not knowing who will pull me out.
"I'll be back soon."
"Do you still have any money?" her stepfather asked.
"Yes, I still have money."
She is lying.
Actually, she was short of money.
She's been staying outside for several days now.
The room fees, food costs, phone bills, and the terrible novels she kept buying (those tear-jerking romance novels suitable for women) had nearly bankrupted her.
“I’ve been through what you’re going through, Helen. I know how confused you are. I can help you, as can your mother and me.”
Her stepfather frowned and said to her.
"Sorry, I have to go. My friend is waiting for me outside."
As she spoke, she dared not look her stepfather in the eye and quickly walked outside.
After running out of the apartment, she gasped for breath.
Sitting on the steps of the flower bed, he lowered his head and rubbed his blond hair.
Is there anything I can do to help you?
A voice that sounded exceptionally warm to her rang out.
Looking up, Helen Grace saw a blonde girl standing in front of her.
"Um, if I say I'm a little hungry, could you give me something to eat?"
Helen Grace joked with her.
"Of course, when I'm starving and drooling, it feels as if my eyes are two mouths enjoying a delicious meal."
The girl with short blonde hair said to her.
Helen Grace looked her up and down.
She felt a strange sense of familiarity with the girl in front of her. "Have we met before?"
"should not."
Helen asked, "Hmm, do you have any money? Maybe you could treat me to a meal. Although I just ate, I don't mind having a meal with you."
The short-haired girl, Gwen, nodded.
Facing her younger version of her mother, she desperately suppressed the urge to cry.
This was the first time she had ever seen her mother.
My deepest memory of my mother is that funeral.
Besides that, my memories of my mother are of her smiling face in a photo frame.
Now, seeing her mother standing in front of her, she suddenly felt a sense of understanding towards Hei Qiyi.
When given the chance to change her fate, she desperately wanted to avert a future tragedy.
Tell your mother to stop her from dying later.
Just as Gwen was feeling sad, a guy with dyed blond hair slowly walked towards the two of them.
Helen Grace recognized him as one of Jack's cronies who was trying to sell to her fans.
She thought this guy had been eaten by the octopus monster last night, but she didn't expect him to still be alive!
The blond man's eyes turned black the moment he saw Gwen.
"careful!"
Seeing the strange aura emanating from the blond-haired man, Gwen immediately called out to her mother and then shot out a web to stop him.
While using her spider silk to entangle her opponent, she quickly moved in front of him and threw a punch.
Two streaks of blood, resembling mealworms, flowed from Huang Mao's nostrils.
"Come on!"
As she spoke, she gave Helen Grace a push forward.
After a moment of hesitation, Helen immediately ran forward.
They ran as far as they could, almost forgetting to catch their breath.
"Peter!"
She quickly thought of something more important.
Those who were taken away by the octopus tentacles have been resurrected, and Peter may be in danger.
After all, Peter defeated that monster, and it might cause him trouble.
With that thought in mind, she immediately quickened her pace and ran towards where Peter was.
Meanwhile, Richard stayed with his wife on the farm.
Richard bought a farm in the suburbs, and he would often accompany his newlywed wife there to relax.
"You should get more rest."
When Richard saw his wife come out, he went up to help her.
"I'm only two months pregnant, I'm not that vulnerable."
Mary chuckled and patted her hand. "Still thinking about that child?"
"Yes, I always feel like I have some kind of connection with him. It's a strange feeling, and I can't quite explain it."
Richard frowned and said, "Perhaps I've seen him before."
"Maybe you're just too tired. Aren't you currently researching bacteriophages?"
Richard nodded.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I was a bit annoying before, but it's just because... I was going through a tough time, and I know I tend to bring work into my personal life. Of course, most of the time we get along well, but other times I always end up making you angry..."
Mary stopped her husband from continuing, "Your life moves so much faster than mine, Richard. I'm just a slow bullfrog, while you're like a dragonfly flitting among the reeds, and—"
She suddenly stopped, sniffed, and said, "Have you been drinking, Richard?"
"I only drank a little bit. I felt a bit strange, so I tried some."
“Me too,” Mary said with a smile. “Me too, I feel like something wonderful happened today.”
"Really? How is Vanessa?"
"She'll have to stay in the hospital for a few days; the doctor said she broke her leg."
The two began talking about Mary's mother, who was Peter's maternal grandmother.
Richard exclaimed in surprise, "My God, it seems today is not a perfect day."
"Yes."
"I should give her a call."
"No! Don't do this, she just wants to use the evening... to rest, she said she wants some peace and quiet."
Richard sighed, "Yes, maybe you're right."
"I am always right."
"Is everything else at home alright?"
"It's all just... trivial stuff, I don't even know what it means."
Richard was about to say something more when he suddenly received a call from Ben.
My truck broke down.
"Oh, that's terrible, where are you, Ben?"
"I haven't delivered the goods yet. I'm near the barn on the outskirts of the farm. Wait, what's this? Oh my god!"
Ben seemed to have seen something terrifying and let out a terrified scream.
"Wait, I'm coming right away!"
Richard immediately hung up the phone and rushed outside.
"Stay here, Mary, I'll be back in a bit."
Peter sensed something when Uncle Ben was in danger.
Just then, Helen Grace came running up, panting, and told Peter what had just happened.
Peter immediately guessed that the short-haired girl the other man had encountered was Gwen.
Since the other party was able to find Helen Grace repeatedly, it means that the purpose of the Black Strange faction's tools is likely to harm Gwen's mother, or her own parents, Uncle Ben and the others.
Thinking of this, his brows immediately furrowed.
From the opposite direction of Gwen, the scent of the tentacle monster from last night also wafted over.
The other side may have already begun attacking the parents in this timeline.
And then he suddenly remembered that Uncle Ben had said he had experienced paranormal events.
When he was young, he was attacked by an unknown monster on a farm.
This further convinced him that Uncle Ben and his group were currently in danger.
Should we rescue Gwen first, or her parents?
