Second Marriage

Chapter 394 Alice Got Injured

They arrived at the slum. When Alice and Yanis got off the car, the driver said to them, “Do you really

want to go there? Aren’t you scared? You can go back now and I sent you for free.”

Hearing his words, Alice gratefully looked at the driver and said, “Thank you, Sir. But we come here to

find our friend. It is urgent, so we have to go there now.”

“Okay. Be careful.”

“Thank you, sir. Bye!” Yanis said loudly to the driver and waved goodbye to him.

When Yanis was about to enter the slum, she was stopped by Alice.

“What’s the matter?”

Alice stood on the street and began to take off her coat.

Yanis was stunned. Then she said, “Alice, what are you doing?”

After taking off her clothes, Alice asked Yanis to take off her coat. After that, Alice wrinkled her clothes.

“What are we going to do?”

“It is the slum. We will look strange in it when we dressed up.” As she spoke, she looked at Yanis’ bag

and asked, “Have you brought makeup remover?”

Yanis just nodded and said, “Yes.”

“Give it to me.”

Yanis handed her makeup remover to her. Alice took the cotton pad and began to remove her makeup.

face. Seeing her action, Yanis said, “You really don’t care about your image now. I didn’t expect that

you would remove your makeup in public.”

Alice had light makeup today, so it was not difficult to remove makeup. After that, the two of them

looked much plain.

“I think it will be okay. Let’s go.”

Then they went into the slum together.

The place that should have been demolished was still kept for such a long time. It was because the

people here were fierce and not pushovers. Therefore, they must be careful when they entered this

area.

However, it was difficult to find Hugo’s home in this place.

Alice walked into the slum with Yanis. Although they had removed their makeup, they still stood out in

the crowd. And they attracted the attention of many people.

“Their eyes look horrible. Will we be safe?” Yanis was scared and subconsciously tugged at Alice’s

sleeves.

“It will be fine. They are just looking at us. They won’t kill you. Don’t worry.”

Alice was much calmer than Yanis. She opened the document and looked through Hugo’s profile.

Then she said, “We don’t have his house number. We have to find someone to ask where Hugo lives.”

Hearing what Alice said, Yanis immediately stared at her with wide eyes.

“Have I heard you right? You want to ask those people. They look very fierce. I was really scared when

I walked past them.”

Yanis was worried. But Alice walked towards an old woman, stoop and bent. Then Yanis came to her

senses and quickly caught up with Alice.

“Hello.” Alice smiled and asked the old man gently, “Do you know Hugo?”

The old woman was quite alert. After hearing the name of Hugo, she immediately took a step back and

shook her head. She said, “I don’t know him. Don’t ask me about him.”

Alice was speechless.

Yanis whispered, “It is obvious that she knows Hugo.”

Hearing what the old woman said, Alice smiled and said, “Don’t get me wrong. We meant no harm. I’m

one of the colleagues of Hugo. I heard that he had an accident in his family. We were worried about

him. I was entrusted to come with my friend to see what happened to him.”

Hearing what Alice said, the old woman became friendly. She looked at Alice and Yanis. They both

looked innocent and gentle. It seemed that they should not be malicious people.

Thinking of this, the old woman began to speak.

“Are you really Hugo’s colleagues?”

“Yes. We are very worried about him.”

“Well... I’ll take you to find him.”

“Thank you.” Alice was grateful and then she smiled at the old woman.

At this time, a little boy suddenly ran out of the house and shouted, “Don’t be cheated by them. They

are not colleagues of Hugo. They want to harm him.”

When the old woman heard his words, her face changed and she asked, “Is it true?”

Alice and Yanis also changed their face.

The little boy immediately came to the old woman and shouted, “Help. They come to make trouble for

Hugo again! They still want to bully my grandma”

His voice was so loud that everyone was attracted by his words.”

The reason why this place had not been demolished until now was that the people in this area were

united. All the people nearby came to them when they heard the voice of the little boy.

“What are you doing? Why do you bully her? Shameless!”

“Are you looking for Hugo? He doesn’t live here now. Just leave here, or we’ll drive you away.”

“You look decent. Why do you work for those guys? Do you like to be subservient?”

Alice looked at the people in front of her. Although they were dressed in plain clothes, she didn’t expect

that their words were so stabbing.

She was a little angry, but she didn’t explain to them.

On the contrary, Yanis lost her temper after hearing their words. She retorted, “What do you mean? We

are not bad people. We didn’t bully this lady.”

“You’re talking nonsense!” The little boy rushed forward and said loudly, “You treated my grandma with

a bad attitude just now.”

He snapped. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand to Alice who stood in front of him and pushed her

hard.

“Alice!”

“Gosh!”

Someone in the crowd exclaimed. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Alice didn’t expect that this little boy to be so strong and he would push her. She was wearing a pair of

high heels. When the boy pushed her, she fell back uncontrollably and fell to the ground.

Because it was a slum, there were broken sawdust and glass on the road. Her hand pressed on the

sawdust and glass next to her, and her hands began to bleed heavily.

“You’re bleeding!” Yanis turned to look at Alice with surprise. Then she quickly squatted down to help

her stand up. She asked, “Alice, are you okay?”

When people around them saw this scene, they looked at each other.

Yanis was so angry that she bit her lips and then looked around the crowd. She said, “This is going too

far! I know this area will be demolished. It is unreasonable for you to beat visitors indiscriminately!

Alice, can you stand up? I’ll send you to the hospital.”

Alice stood up slowly with her help. Her palm hurt and her ass was painful.

“I’m fine.” She endured the pain and looked at the crowd. She said, “It is true that we are colleagues of

Hugo. We meant no harm. If you don’t believe it, we will leave here now.”

“Wait. Do you come to find Hugo? I’ll take you there.” Suddenly, a young girl stood up and said to them.
