Eisner left with Isabella.
Before leaving, he also left a sentence, telling her to reflect on herself.
Lucy lay back on the hospital bed. Her eyes were sore, but she couldn't shed a single tear.
All these were what she deserved.
It was she, Lucy, who had coveted someone who didn't belong to her. Compared with her previous life, this was already the best outcome.
She wanted to live well and go home, living a life without Eisner.
Lucy rang the bell and asked the nurse to come and bandage her wound.
While the nurse was wrapping the gauze, she asked, "Does your hospital have a plastic surgery department?"
On her chest, there was still a 'wolf - claw tattoo' representing Eisner, which had remained on her body until her death in her previous life.
That afternoon, Lucy entered the operating room.
On the operating table in the plastic surgery department, Lucy rejected the doctor's suggestion of "laser cosmetology" and the like.
She took out a dagger and put it beside her, and said coldly, "No anesthesia. Just cut off that piece of skin directly."
The pain of the scalpel cutting through the skin and peeling the flesh bit by bit made Lucy's scalp tingle.
But her heart felt an unexpected sense of peace.
Finally, she had no relationship with Eisner at all.
The last bit of their bond was abandoned by her in a foreign country on this ordinary afternoon.
In this life, she understood a truth: cause and effect are predestined by heaven. People should not forcefully keep things that don't belong to them.
She left everything here and just wanted to go home alone.
Go home cleanly.
On the second day of her hospitalization, Eisner came alone.
These two days, he had very complicated emotions in his heart. He always had some strange dreams at night. In the dreams, it was the broken Lucy.
And that sentence she had said: "It would be great if I hadn't met you."
It kept repeating, forming a nightmare.
It made him couldn't help but come to see her.
When he saw her lying safely on the bed, the tightness in his heart eased a little.
"Lucy, let's stop arguing, okay?"
"I only need one year to settle Isabella and her child. Why don't you believe me?"
"Go back and wait for me, okay?"
But Lucy closed her eyes and dodged his hand that was about to touch her.
Eisner's face darkened. Lucy no longer put him first in everything like before. This sense of losing control made him inexplicably irritable.
"Lucy, can you restrain your princess temper? You've made so many mistakes, and I've chosen to tolerate you. I'm busy taking Isabella to buy gifts for the little werewolf cub on one hand, and worrying about you in the hospital on the other."
"Can't you just let me worry less?"
Lucy opened her eyes and looked at him, speaking in a flat tone.
"Eisner, what else do you want me to do?"
Her cold tone suddenly tugged at Eisner's heart.
He suddenly didn't know what to say. He just leaned over her and hugged her waist.
The familiar scent of women's toilet water unexpectedly soothed the restlessness in his heart these days.
Eisner let out an almost inaudible sigh and said, "Let's stop arguing, okay, Lucy?"
"After we go home, wait for me in the Atlant family. After I've arranged things for them, I'll come to you."
Lucy's face was expressionless, but she sneered in her heart.
The corners of her mouth curled up in a mocking arc and she said, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"
Her words made Eisner breathe a sigh of relief.
The stuffy air in his heart dissipated. He knew that Lucy couldn't do without him.
"Then I'll take you back to the base. I've already submitted the application for you to leave the werewolf gang. After tomorrow's last mission is over, we'll go home together."
Lucy had no objections.
She got in Eisner's car and returned to the werewolf base.
As soon as she got out of the car, Isabella rushed over and hugged Eisner in her arms.
"Eisner, where did you go? Don't leave me alone, okay? It's too chaotic here. I'm worried something will happen to you."
Lucy pretended not to see and slowly walked towards her bedroom.
But when she stood at the door, her bedroom was no longer what she was familiar with.
Isabella said behind her, "Sorry, Lucy. I haven't been feeling well recently. I often need Eisner to take care of me at night. But he's been sleeping on the floor to accompany me. We haven't done anything. You can rest assured."
"I've packed your things and put them in a cardboard box."
Lucy walked towards the cardboard box in the corner, silently picked it up, and walked out.
"Lucy, Isabella is in poor health and needs someone to take care of her..."
Lucy raised her hand to interrupt his words: "I understand. I can sleep anywhere."
She didn't want any more complications. She just wanted to end all this and go home quickly.
After she found a random room to stay in, she took out her ID and kept it close to her body.
As for other things, when it got dark, she carried them outside the werewolf base and burned them to ashes.
She left all the people, things, and events in this foreign land behind and wouldn't take a single thing with her.
The next day, Lucy got in Eisner's car with a tightly - sealed stainless - steel box in her hand.
The task this time was to escort the items in the stainless - steel box onto the plane waiting to take off at the airport.
It seemed simple, but Lucy didn't dare to relax at all.
Both she and Eisner knew what kind of things needed the werewolf gang to escort.
Halfway through the journey, there was a noise in the pickup truck's rear compartment.
She and Eisner glanced at each other, stopped the car to check, and saw Isabella hiding there.
She greeted them somewhat sheepishly.
"Eisner, I'm sorry. Although you said I couldn't come with you, I'm really worried about you going alone!"
