Eric's lies couldn't fool Tiffany. She and Teresa relied on each other in this city, and they didn't have any friends.
Tiffany felt something was wrong, so she decided to visit Teresa to ease her mind. However, no one came to answer the door after she rang the doorbell for a while.
The passcode for the house had been changed, but Teresa had informed Tiffany in advance to ensure she could enter the house anytime.
After hesitating for a moment, Tiffany entered the passcode and went inside.
The house was filled with a strong smell of herbal medicine. Tiffany walked barefoot into the house and immediately saw the scattered glass shards in the living room.
She felt that something was wrong, so she quickly walked to the master bedroom door.
The scene inside the bedroom shocked Tiffany to the core.
The room was in a mess. The bed was disheveled, and there was an overturned suitcase next to it, with clothes scattered all over the floor. There were also scattered cigarette ashes and butts on the bed and floor.
It was clearly a scene of domestic violence!
Teresa had been beaten again!
Tiffany's heart ached terribly witnessing this scene. She took out her phone, took several photos, and recorded a video.
Then, she left Teresa's house and took a taxi straight to the hospital.
…
Teresa slowly regained consciousness at the hospital, but she closed her eyes again upon seeing Eric.
Her body ached, and her heart ached even more.
Eric held her hand. "Teri, you're awake. I've been watching over you for a long time. I was really worried about you."
Teresa closed her eyes, unwilling to respond to him.
"I'm sorry, Teri. I'm a bastard. I shouldn't have laid my hands on you!"
