Chapter 80 Having a Husband Who Was Supporting You
"I discovered Jonathan bullying a girl at school."
"That girl was very well-behaved and had the best grades in the class."
"He dragged her into the sports equipment room, and fortunately, I happened to pass by and found them, so I rescued the girl."
"After learning about Jonathan's despicable actions, I talked to him several times.
"I was trying to figure out how to change him and make him realize that bullying others is wrong."
"I even tried reaching out to his parents privately, but the results were minimal."
"Then one day, I found that girl being forcibly taken by Jonathan to a hotel. I chased after them, wanting to save her, but turned out..."
Adeline covered her face in agony as if recalling a terrible nightmare.
"At the end, Jonathan pulled me in as well and locked me in the closet. Then he... raped that girl."
"I was inside the closet at that time, listening to the girl's cries for help, one after another, each one piercing into my heart like a knife."
"Then... Then, the girl stopped crying for help and started begging in extreme agony..."
As Adeline spoke, her breathing became unstable.
Curtis wheeled over and embraced her, saying, "It's okay. It's not your fault. Don't think about it."
Adeline buried her face in Curtis's shoulder, shaking her head.
"No... If I hadn't thought that Jonathan was still a child and believed that reporting him to the police would ruin his life, I would have reported him without hesitation. Maybe such a tragedy wouldn't have happened."
"I can never forget the heart-wrenching cries of that girl. After that, Leon came."
"His friend saw me being taken into the room by Jonathan and told him about it. He came and took me and the girl away."
"Jonathan wouldn't let me go and insisted on teaching me a lesson. But Leon stood up for me. He repeatedly promised him that I wouldn't report him, wouldn't testify, and that I wouldn't step foot in the Western District ever again. Only then did Jonathan give up."
"I never dreamed that an underage child... Could be so cruel to that extent!" NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Curtis stared at Adeline and said firmly, "You don't seem like someone who wouldn't report the incident."
Adeline was momentarily stunned by Curtis's understanding of her, then she sarcastically smirked.
"I did report it. I took that girl to the police station to report the incident. Leon was so angry he almost cut ties with me."
"And then what happened?"
"After that, that girl was probably threatened, and her family was bribed, so she voluntarily went to the police station to withdraw the case."
"The girl's family said that she was in the room watching a horror movie with Jonathan. Since she couldn't pursue a relationship with him, she resorted to falsely accusing him."
"As for me, I was locked in the closet and couldn't see what was happening outside. I could only hear the voices and making me unable to be a witness. That's how the case was closed."
"Then did you become an elementary school teacher because of what the Morris family does under the table?" Curtis's eyes turned cold as if Adeline said "yes," he would immediately go and take revenge on that family!
Shaking her head, Adeline replied, "It was because of Jonathan, but not because of the Morris family."
"After that incident, I realized that I couldn't change the mindset of a high school student."
"It takes time for someone to change deeply ingrained beliefs. Many high school students' values and personalities have already formed and are difficult to change."
"So, I want to teach in elementary school and nurture their personalities and values from a younger age."
Curtis nodded. He gently held Adeline's arms and said solemnly.
"You can do whatever you want, regardless of which district it is. I will support you!"
"Okay," Adeline nodded in agreement.
Curtis then asked in a gentle voice, "Is seeing a psychologist also related to that incident?"
Adeline's expression turned bitter, and she hesitated as she bit her lip before finally speaking,
"Because of the experience of that day, for a long time, I found that action was dirty, frightening, and resisted it."
"Logan had asked me a few times in that regard, but I always refused."
"However, I knew it wasn't healthy to continue like that, so I sought counseling from a psychologist."
Curtis's eyes dimmed, "So when we were together and doing that, you were nervous and tense, right?"
