449 I was Swinging on the Road (1/2)

Su Changhe helped Yue Chongyang get admitted into the hospital and returned to his office. He felt sorry for Yue Chongyang and Lu Xiaomei, who used to be a happy couple.

That was life. Once people had one step wrong, it could be hard for them to go back.

…

It had started to get dark outside. The night was bustling.

”Mom, where is Dad going?” a young girl asked.

”I don't know, probably traveling for work,” Lu Xiaomei said gently to her daughter.

She used to have a happy family. Now, it was breaking into pieces. Her daughter was affected the most by it. The only thing she could do was minimize the negative impact on her daughter.

”Aye!” Lu Xiaomei sighed.

”Mom, what's on your mind?” her daughter asked.

”Nothing, let's have dinner,” Lu Xiaomei said.

…

It was very cold in Zhu.

”Hey, what's wrong with Baozhan? I called him numerous times. I hope nothing bad happened to him,” a young woman said.

”What could possibly happen to him?” a young man asked.

”Maybe we should check on him at his place. We'll be in trouble if anything happens to him,” the young woman said.

The young man agreed. The two of them drove to their friend's house. They had been friends since the beginning of middle school and stayed in the same school until college. They had been able to stay close during college, which they all had just graduated from.

They were happy they could now spend more time together. They never expected that after going to a pub together they would become drug addicts or that drugs would be so easily available in the small town where they lived. They had regrets, but it was too late. They thought the people who offered others drugs deserved the death penalty.

They soon arrived at their friend's apartment. They went up the stairs and knocked on the door. A middle-aged woman opened the door.

”Hello, Ma'am,” the young woman said, who looked quite cute.

”It's you,” the older woman said.

The two young people didn't see the familiar smiling face on their friend's mother. She looked stern and unhappy. They had interrupted her nap. They had never seen her act like this.

”Ma'am, is Baozhan at home?” the girl asked.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”No, he's not at home,” Baozhan's mother replied.

”Where has he gone? We tried to call him, but he didn't answer,” the girl said.

”He has gone to his grandma's and will stay there for some time,” Baozhan's mother replied.

”Oh, I see. Sorry to disturb you, Ma'am. See you later,” the girl said.

The two of them left with confusion.

”Hey, did you notice that Baozhan's mom was a bit weird today?” Sun Honglin asked.

”Yes, she's always smiling and nice to us when we visit. Even when Baozhan is not home, she usually invites us into the apartment and gives us some treats. We were apparently not welcome today,” He Xiaofeng said.

”Do you think she knows about the drugs?” Fang Honglin asked.

”What?” He Xiaofeng was surprised. ”What are you talking about? Are you stupid?”

”No, Baozhan wouldn't have told his parents,” Sun Honglin said.

”But, what if he has an episode at home?” He Xiaofeng asked.

Sun Honglin didn't answer. The two of them got back into the car. They sat in a while before starting the engine.

”Where are we going now?” Sun Honglin asked.

”Go home,” He Xiaofeng said.

”Mom, did they leave?” Du Baozhan asked as he walked out of his bedroom.

”Yes,” his mother replied.

”Stop hanging out with them,” his father said.

”Okay, Dad. Are you going to tell their families about the drugs?” Du Baozhan asked in low voice.

”Go back to your room,” his father said grumpily.

Du Baozhan said no more and returned to his bedroom.

”Darling, Baozhan reminded me. We are friendly with Honglin and Xiaofeng's family. I know you are upset, but we still have to socialize with them from time to time. Maybe you should give them a call. I don't want those two kids to be in trouble anymore,” Du Baozhan's mother said.

After thinking for a while, he grabbed his phone.

A car was speeding down the road. Sun Honglin was driving.

”Oh!”

Sun Honglin suddenly shivered. He was overwhelmed with an uncomfortable feeling.

No!

His heart jolted. He knew he was about to have a withdrawal, and he was still driving.
