She had been away for a day and night. If the ship only docked for a night, it must have left by now. There was no signal on the sea.
Renee tried to call Luke, unexpectedly, the phone was connected.
"Hello." Hearing Luke's voice, Renee was tearful. She had only been with Luke for a month, but obviously, this man had entered her heart.
"It's me." She said cried. Luke recognized her voice at once. He was anxious.
"Renee, is that you?" Since Renee left, Luke's heart had gone with her. He had been dreaming to get Renee's phone call and to take it as the last contact between them.
He had not expected that Renee would call him so early. Would she arrive so soon?
"Yeah, Luke, can you pick me up?" Actually, in addition to Luke, Renee had nobody else to turn to.
"What happened? Tell me slowly." As soon as hearing Renee's voice, Luke knew that something was wrong. Obviously, Renee was in trouble.
"Luke, when I arrived in Yunnan, I planned to order a private car to go home, but I encountered human traffickers. I was almost sold by them.
Fortunately, I was smart to see through them. Last night, I sneaked out, but I'm injured."
"How could this happen? Where are you now, Renee? Are you safe?"
"Temporarily. There is an old woman helping me, she allowed me to stay at her home. I don't dare to go outside alone. I'm scared."
"Tell me the address, don't cut off communication. I'll come to you right away." Luke was badly anxious.
Certainly, he knew about human traffickers. They not just sold kids but also sold single ladies.
He appreciated that the ship docked one more day. Otherwise, he would definitely miss Renee's call.
"I'll ask granny." The phone in Renee's hand was an outdated machine and couldn't send a location.
The old lady told Renee the detailed address even the very accurate location of the mountain area. After all, such a thing happened to a young girl, her family should be anxious to death.
"Renee, I'll be right there. Don't be afraid." Luke said and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Renee was suddenly safe. Although Luke was not the president of any company, he offered Renee plentiful security.
When Renee was Rocco's girlfriend, she was worried if Rocco would break up with her all day long. After all, he was too perfect, and she was too ordinary.
Due to being over-worried, she finally lost him.
Thinking of Rocco, Renee wanted to call him. She just wanted to know how he would react to her story.
The phone rang a few times before it connected. "Hello."
"Rocco, it's me."
"Miss Xia, I think I have made it clear that we've broken up. I hope you don't bother me anymore. I have a lot of things to do every day, so I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
"Rocco, I was nearly being sold..."
"Beep beep..." Before she could finish her words, Rocco hung up the phone.
Renee held the phone with a helpless, bitter smile. She remembered that on the night of New Year's Day, they listened to the bell chimes together in the square. Rocco bought her a balloon.
