Chapter 1 of You Once Came Through the Light

An accident made me go back to the time of my boyfriend's childhood.

He was covered in bruises from his gambling addict father and curled up in a corner, eating a moldy pancake alone.

I told him, "Don't be afraid. I am your future wife. I will protect you."

He grabbed my sleeve with a pale face. His eyes filled with persistence, "Will you protect me forever?"

1

On the eve of my wedding, I had a car accident and went back to the time of my boyfriend's childhood.

In the dilapidated repair shop, Brian Grant was pinned down by a middle-aged man, who ruthlessly punched him in the face again and again.

"I have raised you for more than ten years, and you can't even come up with money to help me repay my debts. You are just a useless person!"

"You are just as despicable as your mother. I should have strangled you to death when you born!"

Brian curled up on the ground, silent, but the veins on his forehead showed his pain.

I had never seen him like this before.

I calmed myself down and quickly borrowed Auntie's phone next to me to call the police.

I met Brian in college, and it took us nine years from falling in love to marriage.

During these nine years, he was always successful and happy in front of me.

But I never expected that his past was so tragic, that was why he never mentioned his childhood to me...

Seeing the man smashing the bottle on Brian's head, I quickly rushed forward without thinking, using my arm to shield him from the bottle. The glass shards pierced my arm, and blood gushed out, causing intense pain.

Even so, I still protected Brian behind my body.

"I have already called the police just now. If you continue to hit him, you would spend the rest of your life in jail!"

As soon as Carney heard this, his eyes immediately turned dark.

"Stinky woman, it's none of your business. I discipline my son, get out."

After saying that, he pushed me to the ground fiercely.

My head was hit in the wooden table and I was dizzy. I looked at him holding a bottle of wine and approaching Brian step by step, tears of anxiety streaming down my eyes.

"Don't, don't hit him anymore."

"If you hit him again, he will really die!"

I shouted loudly at Carney, but he rushed forward like crazy, as if he wanted to kill Brian.

At the critical moment, the sound of police sirens came closer and closer.

"Police, put down the weapon, put your hands on your head and squat down."

The arrival of the police made Carney lose his arrogance. He squatted down with his hands on his head, with a hint of flattery in his eyes.

"Sir, I was just disciplining my son, I didn't mean to kill him, you misunderstood."

The police ignored his poor excuses and. After investigating the neighbors, Carney was taken back to the police station.

Soon, there were only two of us left in the repair shop.

I endured the pain in my body and stood up, only to see him curled up in the corner, eating a moldy pancake.

This scene deeply hurt my eyes.

I couldn't imagine that my beloved husband would have such a tragic life experience.

I walked forward and squatted in front of him after regaining my senses.

The young face in front of me overlapped with the person in my memory. I touched the wound on his face, filled with tenderness in my eyes.

"Brian, does it hurt? "

My voice made his pupils shrink, and then his eyes looked at me with caution.

The next second, he raised his hand and grabbed my neck, his gaze cold.

"Who are you? Why did you save me?"

"Also, how did you know my name?"

I was being choked and couldn't breathe. Just as I was about to explain, I realized he had loosened his grip.

Suddenly, Brian fainted and fell to the ground, dropping the pancake from his hand.

The sudden turn of events made me panic. I held him in my arms and shook his body desperately.

"Brian, wake up quickly, don't scare me!"
