Chapter 57 Eric’s Past
Seeing the complex in George’s eyes, Kate gestured with her eyes for them to quietly leave, not to disturb Eric any further.
She had just managed to calm Eric down, and at this moment, Eric couldn’t afford any stimulation. Otherwise, he would definitely fall into a more agitated state.
George and his men quietly left. Before leaving, he gazed deeply at Kate.
For Mr. Eric, Kate is indeed different. She could actually soothe the out–of–control Mr. Eric!
Just for this reason, George silently decided to treat Kate better in the future. After all, this young lady seemed to have truly changed.
As long as she doesn’t provoke Mr. Eric, everything will be fine!
After George and his men left, there were only Eric and Kate remaining in the room.
Eric held Kate tightly, pressing her body against the corner of the wall, burying his head in her neck, and his breathing gradually calmed down.
Although there was still thunder and lightning outside, Eric seemed to be less afraid, only emitting a sound similar to a beast’s growl from his throat.
Feeling the warmth from Eric’s body, Kate whispered in his ear, “It’s okay, Eric. Those things are all in the past. You are not alone anymore.”
Eric’s rigid body gradually relaxed. His mind was unclear, but he was subconsciously holding onto Kate tightly.
Kate felt a sharp pain in her heart.
In her previous life, she had witnessed a situation where Eric went mad on a rainy night. He would uncontrollably fear and tremble, attacking indiscriminately. Each time, George would bring numerous bodyguards over and forcibly inject Eric with a sedative to calm him down.
During that time, she only perceived Eric as even more terrifying, like he was truly a complete lunatic.
So Kate wanted even more to escape from Eric’s side, and her disgust towards him deepened. She also learned from George why Eric would lose control on stormy nights,
It was related to Eric’s childhood experience.
His family was targeted by enemies on a stormy night like that. Young Eric hid in a cabinet, witnessing his loved ones being slaughtered before his eyes amidst the lightning and thunder.
Apart from Eric, the entire Davison family perished, almost completely wiped out.

ruins for three days. It was only after the enemies left that he finally got out of the cabinet.
When Kate first heard this news, she felt no emotional response because she despised Eric so much. She was indifferent to everything about him. But now, reflecting on it, she feels a pang of pain in her heart.
She couldn’t imagine the harrowing scene that left Eric with a psychological scar for fifteen years.
Kate shut her eyes tightly and gently patted Eric’s back, her voice softer. “It’s all in the past. They will pay for what they have done. They will.”
Perhaps it was due to the comforting presence emanating from Kate that Eric murmured and closed his eyes again. After the thunderstorm outside subsided, he drifted into a deep slumber.
Meanwhile, Kate still maintained the posture of embracing Eric, and both of them leaned against the corner of the ground, closing their eyes and falling asleep.
The next morning.
Eric’s eyelashes quivered slightly before he slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he was startled to find the peaceful sleeping face of Kate so close
to him.
With a slight headache, Eric recalled the events of the previous night. He only remembered it was another stormy night, and he was out of control once again.
It seemed…
Kate was the one who comforted me.
Eric’s gaze slowly shifted from Kate’s face, and when he noticed the bruise on her neck, his pupils suddenly dilated.
