After Vera helped her up, she slowly lowered her hands from her face. When Vera saw that her forehead was bleeding, she was frightened.
God, this man was so cruel. He had beaten his wife to this extent.
Vera was so angry that she took out her phone.
'TH call the police for you." This was domestic violence. It was against the law! However, just as she was about to call the police, the man's expression suddenly darkened. He tried to pounce on Vera and cursed, "B*tch. Why do you care that I hit my own wife? If you dare to call the police I'll kill you today... Ugh..." Before the man, Austin could finish his words, there was a cracking sound; Quill had dislocated his arm. He was in so much pain that he cried out and broke into a cold sweat.
Quill's face becgrim. "You can try." His voice was not loud, but his tone was inexplicably cold.
It was obvious that the man was resentful, but Quill had dislocated his arm easily. Not only that, the coldness he emitted made him scared to make another move. Vera was also taken by surprise. She didn't expect Austin to be so ruthless. She was even more determined to call the police. She looked at him with contempt. "Domestic violence is also against the law. Even if she is your wife, she is a human being first." She quickly called the emergency line, but before she could dial it, the woman rushed over and held Vera's hand, crying, "Don't call the police, please... don't call the police..." Vera was frozen on the spot. She looked at her in confusion. "You..." Seeing his wife's behavior, Austin sneered, "Don't meddle in other people's business. This b*tch has done something wrong. Call the police? She is more afraid than I am!" "Shut up! Shut up! I didn't do anything wrong!" The woman glared at him indignantly and turned to Vera, tears falling down her cheeks. "Thank you very much for helping me, but please don't call the police, okay? If you call the police, he...he will beateven harder." Vera paused and glanced helplessly at the woman.

In the beginning, many women chose to endure it, but their husbands would beceven more violent. The men would say that it was their mistakez and that they would change, but later, they would hit and scold their wives as they pleased. If the police were involved, they would get an even worse beating. Because of that, many women did not dare to call the police or do anything. They would just continue living like that.
Vera couldn't stand it anymore. There was a great difference between the strength of men and women. Besides, even if he didn't pamper his wife after marrying her, there should at least be mutual respect, shouldn't it? A man should never treat his wife as a punching bag.
Hence, Vera insisted on calling the police. The woman pounced on her and hugged her tightly. She cried out loud, "Please, don't call the police. Don't call the police. Please." Vera didn't know what to say.
She hadn't expected the woman to be so stubborn. She frowned and said, "Believe me; it can only be solved by calling the police." "No, don't!" There was deep fear in the woman's eyes.
Vera looked at Quill, asking for his opinion. She naturally wanted to call the police after getting involved, but the woman wouldn't allow her. What was the purpose of her interfering then? Quill's eyes met Vera's. He pursed his lips slightly and finally said, "Do what you think is right." Do what she thought was right? Vera wanted to call the police and let them handle it. But she knew that Austin would at most be let off with a warning, let the couple resolve, and she still had to leave with him in the end. After that... Thinking of that, she frowned.
She didn't regret intervening, but since she already had... She should do it till the end.
What followed would be quite troublesome, but she definitely was not going to leave the woman alone to fend for herself. Vera looked at her and said, "Call the police first and let them settle this. As for you, we take care of your safety. What do you think?" The woman still shook her head and insisted on not calling the police. She grabbed Vera's arm tightly. "No, don't call the police. If... If you are willing, can I follow you first? I'm really scared..." "B*tch! You dare to leave me? You better believe I will kill you!" Austin shouted.
The woman hid behind Vera in fear after being threatened.
"Young lady." Austin stared fiercely at Vera. "Do you know why I hit her?" Vera wrinkled her nose as she glared at him.
"If you take her with you, you will definitely regret it." Vera didn't know if she was imagining it, but the man seemed to be glancing at Quill meaningfully. There was an unreadable emotion in his eyes; it was strange.
Just as Vera was about to take a closer look, the woman suddenly screamed and fainted, falling onto Vera.
Vera called the police in the end, as well as the ambulance. They took Austin away, and then Vera took the woman to a nearby hospital.
She was seriously injured. Vera stayed close by while the doctor treated the woman. There were all kinds of wounds on her body, and even her private parts were... full of scars.
She could tell the man was not only abusive but also a brutal person in their private life. Vera suddenly felt sorry for her; she was so pitiful.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the doctor finished treating her wounds, he looked at Vera and shook his head. "There are too many serious and minor injuries. Besides these new injuries, there are countless old ones. And these wounds are new. What kind of environment does she live in?" A chill went down Vera's spine.
How did she manage to live with such an unpredictable man?
As the police had taken Austin away, Quill followed them to give a statement.
After all, he was a om witness. Seeing that he hadn't returned, Vera sat in the ward and waited for him to cback. The woman slowly regained consciousness.
Vera forced a smile at her. "You're awake?"
When the woman saw Vera, she glanced behind her and asked, m "You're alone?" The question was a little odd, but Vera did not give much thought to it.
She thought that the woman was worried that her husband was there. She explained, "Yeah, I'm alone the doctor had just finished treating your wounds, and... I called the police in the end." X
