Chapter 56

Heather's POV:
After some thought, I decided to take the initiative to visit Aemon's parents in Reims City with Aemon. Since they gave me the ring, they should really be willing to accept me too.
When I returned to Reims City, I felt like I had just woken up from a dream, as if everything before was a dream.
While waiting for the traffic light, a familiar figure flashed in my line of sight.
I immediately looked in that direction and there were four men dressed as hoodlums pushing a seemingly unconscious woman into the alley.
Heather, what are you looking at? It's time to cross the street. Aemon whispered in my ear, while taking me by the shoulders and leading me forward.
Wait, Aemon, I stopped and looked up at him, frowning, "I think I just saw Tina, and she might be in danger right now."
So you want to go save her? Have you forgotten that she tried to kill you once? She's a vicious woman who can even kill her own father. Aemon looked at me helplessly.
Aemon was right. I lowered my eyes and struggled a bit inside.
But if not going now will keep you awake at night, then let's go! Aemon said again.
I raised my head in surprise and gave Aemon a kiss on the cheek, "Thank you, Aemon, let's get her to safety and leave, okay?"
Aemon led me towards the alley and shrugged, "It's okay, we didn't agree on a time to arrive anyway, they shouldn't know we're coming."
Wouldn't it be too rude of us to say that? It might make them more angry. I said with some anxiety.
No, they're expecting to see you at all, they're just running away to save face. Aemon said with a smile.
Coming to the entrance of the alley, I saw that it was a hooligan huddle, they were mouthing nasty words and seemed to be trying to bend down and do something, even though it was still daytime they didn't have any worries.
Hey, you bastards, what are you doing gathered there? I couldn't help but yell at them.
Damn, looking for death ...... The group turned their heads angrily, the originally violent expression on their faces turned into a frivolous smile after seeing me, "So it's a pretty girl, want to come over and have some fun with us? "
A bunch of impolite guys. Aemon's eyes turned into bizarre beast pupils for a moment, then sharp fangs also poked out from the corners of his mouth, and his face became somewhat distorted.
This was the first time I saw Aemon in a transformed state, usually he always becomes fast, and before I could see he had turned into a wolf.
I guess he must have done it on purpose.
Sure enough, when I looked at the hooligans again, they were all so scared that they had no expression left, their faces white as a sheet, their eyes staring at us in horror.
What the hell ...... muttered the leading hooligan .
The next moment, Aemon rushed towards them with an inhuman speed, those people did not have any chance to escape and resist, and already fell to the ground with their heads covered in blood.
I shrugged helplessly and walked over, "You're too fast Aemon, I haven't had time to strike yet."
Don't get your hands dirty. Aemon came over and wrapped his arms around my waist.
You're right, but it shouldn't matter if you get your feet dirty. I lifted my foot and stomped hard on the face of the rascal who had just been talking nasty.
He let out a weak cry of pain and passed out completely, and I used the sea scale to clear their memories and put them into a deep sleep.
Not far from these hooligans there was a girl lying, although her face was half blocked by messy red hair, but I could recognize her at once.
It was Tina.
Her jacket had been stripped off and the top half of her body was left in a single undergarment, and she was now huddled and shivering.
Aemon was looking at her too.
Hey, close your eyes and go out and wait for me. I stepped forward and covered Aemon's eyes.
Aemon only had half of his face left exposed. Hearing my words, he raised the corners of his mouth, "Honey, you're jealous of her? I'm glad you care so much about me, but you should misunderstand me."
Anyway, you go out first. I pushed on and headed out.
Aemon obediently took a few steps and stopped, "Well, I can't go far with my back to you guys, I'm worried she'll hurt you."
Don't underestimate me, I'm not the old Heather. I said disgruntled.
Oh, of course I know how good you are, but I think this woman is too cunning, it's always better to be careful, I don't want you to get hurt again. Aemon explained.
Okay, then you wait here for me. I padded over and gave Aemon a kiss on the side of the cheek before returning to Tina again.
I knelt down beside Tina, picked up the scattered clothes to cover her, and asked tentatively, "Tina, are you okay? They're all fainted, want us to take you home?"
The moment the clothes touched Tina, Tina's body shook violently, and it took a long time before she slowly raised her head to look at me.
Her wine red eyes contained this fear and doubt, like a frightened puppy, and I completely dropped my guard against her.
Don't you worry, I won't hurt you. I said sincerely.
Heather, will you help me? Tina made a hoarse sound and tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, "Please help me, my mother kicked me out."
She said and excitedly grabbed my hand, I sat down in some panic and tried to break free from her grip, "Don't do this Tina, I can't help you with this."
Let her go!
Aemon came to my side and shook off Tina's hand and pulled me to my feet. aemon tried to go up and teach her a lesson and Tina was so scared that she curled her body up again.
I'm fine, Aemon, I took Aemon's arm, "she was just asking me to help her."
Aemon frowned, still looking at her with a wary expression, "Don't get too close to her."
Okay, do you have any money on you? Give her some money. I asked Aemon.
Got it with me. Aemon said, taking his wallet out of his pocket.
Tina suddenly let out a sneer and I frowned at her, but the next thing I knew, she didn't move again.
It was the only thing I could do for her, and even though I was only trying to help her, it probably felt more like a handout to her.
Forget it, let's go.
I put Aemon's wallet back in his bag and prepared to leave the area.
Wait, Heather, don't go. Heather suddenly sounded again and lifted her head urgently.
She gave Aemon a frightened look before turning her attention to me, "Heather, I don't need your money, but can you give me a ride home?"
Sure, but didn't your mother kick you out? I furrowed my brow in confusion.
That's true, but that's the only place I can go, and I want to go back and beg my mother again, I am her real daughter after all. Tina explained with tears streaming down her face, completely devoid of her previous condescension.
She looked so pitiful now, just like me who was once kicked out by my adoptive parents.
It was winter and I kept knocking on the door with my frozen hands because I knew if I couldn't get in, I would freeze to death.
May I? Aemon, let's take her home first. I looked to Aemon, expectantly.
Aemon frowned at me and sighed helplessly, "Well, I hope she's not pulling any tricks."
I smiled at Aemon, "Thank you, Aemon."
Aemon raised his hand and rubbed my hair, then looked at Tina with a serious face and said in a command-like tone, "Hurry up and get dressed and follow me."
After saying that, Aemon forcefully pulled me out of the alley.
I told you, stay away from this woman, you're too gullible. Aemon squeezed my hand and said.
Got it, I'll be careful. And don't you always think I'm so stupid, I can handle her. I said carelessly.
It didn't take long for Tina to get dressed and walk out. We stopped a cab, Tina and the driver said the address and never spoke after that.
She buried her head very low, just like I did before.
The car drove for half an hour and finally stopped in front of a villa.
I was looking to Tina to confirm if this was the right place when Tina suddenly opened the car door and ran out, her movements seemed a bit hurried, and when I realized something was wrong, we were already surrounded by the police.
You are under arrest! Now put your hands up immediately and get out of the car!
