Why don’t you come with me to the restroom first? I’ll buy you a new one to wear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burning sensation on her thigh was growing more intense. Chloe Reed got up and followed her to the restroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tossing the soiled pants aside, she saw that a patch on her fair skin had indeed been scalded red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"KNOCK KNOCK!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a knock on the restroom door. The waitress came in holding a skirt and said, \"Miss, you can wear this for now. I’ll be right back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt incredibly guilty, especially after noticing that Chloe Reed’s clothes were all from designer brands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed said, \"Could you also buy some burn cream?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waitress’s face grew even paler. \"Oh... okay. Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed offered a small smile. \"It’s not your fault. I don’t blame you. You should go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waitress looked like she was about to cry. She quickly turned and hurried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed grabbed some paper towels, wet them with cold water, and pressed them against the reddened area on her skin. The searing pain subsided significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a mall nearby; the waitress could be back in as little as ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rinsed the compress several times, and the skin finally started to feel less irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ten minutes passed, and the waitress still hadn’t come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s brow furrowed. Just then, her phone rang. She pulled it out and saw it was a call from Daniel Hayes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hayes’s anxious voice came through the phone. \"Miss Reed, where are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m in the restroom at the coffee shop,\" Chloe Reed replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay,\" Daniel Hayes said. \"I’m coming to get you. I’ll wait for you at the entrance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Chloe Reed hung up, she immediately caught a whiff of a faint, sweet scent. It clashed with the restroom’s air freshener, which was why she noticed it right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked around. She was the only one in the restroom. ’Where is that scent coming from?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her reaction was sluggish for a good ten seconds before alarm bells went off. She immediately covered her nose and mouth and turned to head outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men’s restroom was just opposite. A man stood at its entrance, wearing a hat and a mask, holding several lit sticks of incense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw her come out, the man immediately threw the incense sticks down, grabbed her, and started dragging her in the other direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was heading toward a corridor with a window, an escape route to the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed screamed, \"Who are you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she felt her limbs begin to weaken as a strange sensation flooded her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her struggles grew weaker and weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, they’re everywhere!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, she heard Daniel Hayes curse from behind her. Before Chloe Reed could even process what was happening, the man dragging her was sent sprawling to the ground with a single kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hayes dislocated the man’s arm without hesitation, ripped off his hat and mask, and frowned. ’Not one of theirs?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I was wrong! Please, let me go! I... I’ll never do it again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s face was pale and contorted in agony. He lay on the ground, unable to get up, and began to beg for mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed leaned against the wall for support. Her body felt limp, and her vision was starting to blur. ’If Daniel Hayes hadn’t shown up, I would have really been kidnapped!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tie him up first,\" Chloe Reed said, taking a deep breath. \"Something’s not right with me. Ask him what he used and if there’s an antidote.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hayes planted his foot on the man’s shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain. \"It’s... it’s just a little aphrodisiac incense! You just have to wait for it to wear off... If you can’t, then... then find a man...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hayes punched the man in the head. \"You filthy bastard! Who sent you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",667,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","136d1d24f7e3e5f83b90fb32dcb894150921a02cfc61a9a7fc396dd24786f03a","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-391","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-389",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
