"As long as you're able to not take things to heart," Kingston said gently.Eevonne wiped her tears while looking at Kingston. "Do you think that I will really take a knife and kill my cousin?"Kingston laughed. "No. You're not that silly, aren't you?"Eevonne sighed. "My reputation in my village is ruined anyway. There's no going to be any man that wants me anymore. I'm already in this state, so I might as well just treat myself as a laborer. The first thing to do is to clear my debt. As for everything else, I'll just wait and see. Oh, Kingston, the payment for the hospitalization, could you…"She looked at Kingston in embarrassment while biting her lips. All she had on her was only a thousand dollars at best. She had to use that money to travel to her temporary jobs and also to find a permanent job. She also had to use that for a month's living expenses. Therefore, she truly has no money to pay for the hospitalization expenses anymore.Kingston smiled. "Eevonne! It's because you
Eevonne threw herself into Kingston's arms immediately and cried in extreme fear. "They beat me up. I'm in pain all over my body. My head was rubbed on the concrete pavement and it hurts like hell. It's so painful…""I know. I know it all," Kingston said while feeling heartbroken.When the doctor was administering antivenom to Eevonne, he did a full body check for her as well. Her organs were fine, but there were quite a few soft tissue injuries. There were injuries all over her scalp. Kingston could not help but feel emotional that both parties are families, they were cousins, but her cousin unexpectedly could beat her up so violently. However, when he gave it another thought, was this not how it has always been? Master Sebastian's brothers had also exhausted all the ways to kill him back then, had they not? Humans have always had an evil side."Get some sleep. Nobody would come and beat you up again," Kingston coaxed Eevonne gently. She then closed her eyes again. This time, she s
"Kingston, we actually barely knew each other, but I…I truly have spilled my guts too much to you yesterday. I am sorry, Kingston. I've embarrassed myself. Also, I am actually fine. I just…owe a little money. I am able to clear it. Just pretend that everything I've said yesterday is nonsense. Don't put it on your mind. After we've both recovered, you should…hurry up and look for your cousin. Don't have your business delayed."Kingston nodded. "I got it. I will. Hmm…"After he thought about it, he said, "I'm very honored that you treat me as your friend. I'm even more honored that you spilled your guts to me. I feel that I can carry out another profession in the future.""What profession?" Eevonne asked in confusion."Agony aunt," Kingston said very seriously.Eevonne laughed extremely happily."Hurry up and eat or it won't be as tasty anymore.""Mm-hmm." The girl lowered her head and wolfed her food down.Both of them were hospitalized for a week. It was after they had complete
Eevonne's face turned as white as a sheet when she saw that it was her mother calling. Her hand was shaking like crazy and she did not dare to answer it for a very long time."Who's calling? Is it those relatives of yours again? It's fine. I'll follow you home today and resolve this matter. Even if we can't resolve it, we're in a society that's governed by laws now. Nobody would dare to blatantly do anything to us," Kingston said to comfort her.With tears in her eyes, Eevonne handed her phone to him. "Kingston, it's my mother who's calling.""Just answer it." He encouraged her.Eevonne took a deep breath, and after she clicked on the answer button. "Mom?"The voice on the other end of the call was miserable and cold. "So you'll still pick up my phone!"Eevonne laughed miserably. "Mom, you didn't call me either, did you? Aren't you curious at all if I am dead or alive?"Kingston, who was standing next to Eevonne, pulled the order of her clothes. "Don't talk to your mother like t
"How could I be so blind to marry this damned son of a bitch back then? I've even given birth to such despicable things! Gosh, I truly deserved to be damned!" Eevonne's mother shouted angrily at the top of her lungs over the phone.Kingston was stunned when he heard over the phone. Eevonne was not lying at all. Even at that moment, after her daughter was badly beaten up by her family, not only did she not feel sorry for her, but she kept saying that her daughter was a despicable thing. Kingston was so angry that he did not know what to say anymore.Before he said anything, he heard noises coming from the other end of the phone call."Aunt, don't waste time talking to that jerk! Ask Eevonne, that damned thing, to get the hell away from us as far as she can, and don't come back anymore in this life! We find her so disgusting!" It was a woman's voice.Kingston could figure it out without thinking much that she must be Eevonne's fat cousin."I don't mean to criticize you, but I've tho
Kingston hung up the call immediately after he said that.Eevonne looked concern. "Kingston, we've only met each other by chance. Don't get yourself involved in this mess. You have no idea. My aunt's daughter is even harder to deal with than my uncle's daughter. My cousin, who is my uncle's daughter, is just a little vulgar at best. However, this cousin is different. She is still young this year. She is only twenty-four, which is six years younger than me. She also graduated from a prestigious college. Besides, she has been living very comfortably since childhood. Her father, who is my uncle, is quite capable. Ever since my cousin started going to kindergarten, my uncle and aunt would basically bring her and her younger brother abroad for travel every summer. Also, even though they are rich, my aunt had never spoiled her children. That means my cousin is very knowledgeable and also very hardworking. She has always been working hard since she was a child and she studied all the way til
He was very relieved that he had done something right and had saved a girl. The reason he did that was none other than to help his cousin, Yvonne, earn some good karma. He hoped that she could be living her life very well somewhere on earth."There's really no need, Kingston. If I were to handle my family's matters myself, I would just be beaten up by them at best. Besides, they don't really have the guts to beat me to death. No matter what, these are still my family's matters. If you were to go, it would become a big problem. It's better for me to handle it myself," Eevonne said sincerely.Kingston thought about it and then he nodded. "Alright. Go ahead then. After you're done with your business, remember to call me.""Alright. See you, Kingston." Eevonne closed the car door and left.Within a minute, a car stopped behind Kingston. The person who came down from the car came to the back of Kingston respectfully and said, "Mister Yates, you don't let us follow you, so we don't dare
There was a brief moment of silence inside the house."Who is it?" Kingston heard someone from the inside of the house ask with slight concern. "Open up! The police are here!" Kingston shouted sternly.It was wrong to impersonate a police officer, but at that moment, Kingston could not care so much anymore. He knocked on the gate very quickly and loudly. Some of their neighbors came out of their houses to watch."Gosh, this family has been causing disturbances for a few days. When the hell are they going to stop?" There was a slight disgust in the tone of the neighbor on their left.Their neighbor on the right immediately said, "Eevonne truly deserved to be beaten up by her grandparent's family. I've always thought that this girl is nothing good since she was a child. She lied and misbehaved at such a young age. She lied to her family for more than ten years. She said she has a boyfriend from the big city, has an office job in the big city, and was earning about five thousand dol
