I cover my ears but Whitney&#8217;s screaming still faintly reaches my ears.<\/p>\n<p>Frances also notices that I&#8217;m uncomfortable. He whispers to me, &#8220;If you&#8217;re uncomfortable, let&#8217;s go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I am indeed not feeling very well. As a woman, I cannot face such a scene calmly.<\/p>\n<p>I nod and walk out with Frances.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as we reach the entrance of the building, we run into Lawrence, who is rushing over angrily.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where&#8217;s Whitney? Where&#8217;s Whitney?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He walks over and pulls Frances\u2019 collar.<\/p>\n<p>Frances chuckles. He removes Lawrence&#8217;s hand and says, &#8220;You dare ask me. Why don&#8217;t you go in and take a look? Perhaps you will help her suffer less.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence is shocked and hurriedly rushes inside.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that this terrible nightmare should be over.<\/p>\n<p>However, for Whitney, it was unforgettable.<\/p>\n<p>For some things, there&#8217;s no difference between one minute and one hour.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s go in and take a look.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Frances holds me and we return.<\/p>\n<p>Before we reach the room, we hear a series of wailing sounds.<\/p>\n<p>Whitney sits on the ground. Her clothes are tattered into pieces that they couldn&#8217;t cover her beautiful body. Lawrence&#8217;s coat wraps her shoulders, but it can&#8217;t hide every place.<\/p>\n<p>She sits there lifeless like a broken porcelain doll, tears streaming down mechanically.<\/p>\n<p>Beneath her is a pool of bright blood.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s not a virgin. I know. It should that those men are too rude, so that she gets hurt like this.<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence seems to have gone mad as he desperately beats those hooligans.<\/p>\n<p>They are badly beaten and don&#8217;t even have the strength to fight back, but Lawrence still doesn&#8217;t stop.<\/p>\n<p>He roars as he fought, as if he wants to vent all his anger on them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Will he beat them to death?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence panics. He picks up Whitney and runs out.<\/p>\n<p>When he passes by Frances, he stops. &#8220;Frances, this is the end of our brotherhood. If anything happens to Whitney, I will definitely not let you off!&#8221; He says coldly.<\/p>\n<p>However, something has definitely happened to Whitney.<\/p>\n<p>It would be impossible for her to live a peaceful life.<\/p>\n<p>I look at Frances and worry about him.<\/p>\n<p>He takes me away as if he is fine.<\/p>\n<p>Later I hear that Whitney has been in the hospital for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Finally she gets back.<\/p>\n<p>As for her mental state, I really don&#8217;t know.
