Chapter 2977: Chapter 167: She’s Just a Shield, He Has Someone Else He Likes (3)

Harrison Lucas also didn’t know why she had to run away.

Since childhood, she had always been Ben Lucas’s person, even saying that in life she belonged to Ben Lucas, and in death, she’d be his spirit.

She never dared to defy or resist Ben, but this time, Harrison boldly chose to follow her heart and fled in embarrassment.

Unfortunately, she grabbed her luggage and passport and left in the middle of the night, only to find she didn’t have a single penny at the airport.

Harrison had never felt such defeat.

When she left the hospital, she went straight to the airport without a wallet or even a cell phone.

Harrison thought of the day she left Eastonia with Ben Lucas, never imagining she would end up in such a disheveled state one day.

She sat in a corner of the airport lobby, somewhat forlorn, wrapping her down jacket around herself.

By this point, Harrison finally laughed at herself.

Fortunately, she wasn’t a truly fragile young lady but a ’man’ who grew up in the Military Academy; at least she wouldn’t break down and cry like a fragile young lady would at times like these.

Harrison planned to curl up on the airport seats for the night and see if she could find a kind soul to make a call tomorrow morning. If no one was willing to help, she’d find some temporary work to earn some expenses.

In any case, she’d find a way to contact her brother and have him come to pick her up.

Though her heart was already in tatters, her will remained strong. Clutching her down jacket and luggage, she coaxed herself into falling asleep quickly in the airport seat.

She had to rest well to have energy for tomorrow.

But as she slept, she fell into a nightmare.

In the dream, she seemed to hear Ben Lucas’s voice.

Then, she saw Ben’s silhouette appear far away; he stood on the opposite side of the street.

Dream-Harrison was very happy to see Ben; she thought he had come for her.

But as Ben took a step forward, another voice emerged at the street corner.

It was a woman’s, seductive and gentle, calling Ben affectionately as ’Ben,’ standing at the other end of the street and waving with a smile.

It was the same woman she saw tonight at the French restaurant.

A woman with long wavy hair, wearing a red dress, with a graceful posture.

In the dream, Harrison desperately wanted to stop Ben, she panicked and tried to call out to him, but for some reason, her throat felt hoarse, and she couldn’t make a sound.

She fearedfully wanted to rush over and grab Ben, but suddenly, many cars surged into the middle of the road, obstructing her path like a weaving river of traffic.

Thus, Harrison could only watch helplessly as Ben turned and walked toward that woman.

He walked so resolutely, not looking back, not even willing to spare her a glance.

No, Ben, no, don’t...

Don’t—don’t—Ben!

Harrison was finally overwhelmed by immense sadness, tears poured out like a breached river, and her heart hurt so badly, an unprecedented pain.

It felt like her body was being torn apart, her heart shredded into pieces.

"Debby, Debby..." Harrison knew she must be hallucinating. At this moment, she was still hearing Ben call her by the nickname from their sweetest times together.

How could it be, how could it... Ben already couldn’t tolerate her anymore, he had given up on her.

"Debby, Debby... wake up!"

However, the man’s voice was so real, it was as if it was right next to her ear.

Harrison’s body was shaken, and within a familiar enveloping scent, she suddenly awoke—
