After speaking, for fear that she would cry if she stayed for another second, she turned around and ran out of the office.
Her tears came down violently.
How ridiculous her love was. She was full of passionate love, but it was like seeking her doom she married a man recklessly, but she was wounded with blood, her soul hurt completely.
It was he who pushed his younger brother into such a miserable situation, but she was like a fool, casting away her dignity and begging him regardless of her shame, and she did not hesitate to become a vehicle for his lust, but in the end, the truth was so embarrassing for her.
He must have been very happy when he saw her begging him so humbly back then.
In front of him, she was humble like a grain of dust.
If she did something wrong in this marriage, then the only thing she did wrong was falling in love with someone she shouldn’t love.
If she hadn’t fallen in love with him, she would have no suffering, no pain, no grief…
Cynthia thought that she had been cornered to a dead end, but she did not know that what awaited her was a heart-breaking catastrophe…
During the time following, Cynthia sold all her dowry jewelry and borrowed money from friends she still had contact with, so that she could collect enough money for his brother’s surgery.
After the operation, because there was no money to stay in the hospital, her younger brother had to go home for recuperation.
During this period, she hadn’t gone back to Gray’s house for once and had been taking care of her ill younger brother at her house.
One day, when she was changing her brother’s medicine, there was a loud slam at the door.
Cynthia’s hand which held the medicine trembled slightly, and then she saw a group of people carrying iron rods and aggressively breaking into the door.
She put down the medicine in her hand, stood up, and said calmly, “Who were you?”
“Who?” The middle-aged man in the lead held a cigar in his mouth, squinted, and maliciously spat out fumes on Cynthia’s face. His face turned violent, and said fiercely, “I am your creditor! You Brother Andy owes me one million, so trembled.
All the money she could borrow was used to treat her brother’s illness. How could she have any extra money to pay off his debts, let alone one million.
” I don’t have that much money on hand now. Can you give me some time?” she pleaded.
“No money?!” The man threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it under his leather shoes. “Today is the final repayment deadline. Since there is no money, let’s smash here! Smash around!”
Following his order, the group of people behind him swang up iron rods and smash into her house.
In an instant, the coffee table, bookcase, TV, and refrigerator were all smashed by those people, and no furniture was spared from this spree.
“Don’t… stop! Don’t smash it… You guys stop!” Cynthia shouted, holding back the tears in her eyes. She rushed up to stop those people but was suddenly pushed back by one of them. She was caught off guard and pushed to the ground. Under her body was a coffee table that had been smashed into broken pieces.
Without protection, countless large and small glass fragments were deeply embedded in her palms, knees, calves…
Soon, blood seeped out.
She didn’t care about the pain in her body. She supported her body, got up from the ground, and rushed up again to stop those people.
“You’re violating the law! Stop it!” Her heart-wrenching shout only fueled the arrogance of those people, and they smashed even more fiercely.
For a time, the house was a mess.
He seemed to think the destruction they committed wasn’t enough. The man in the lead looked at Andy, who was holding his head and shivering on the bed. His gaze froze, and he grabbed Andy’s hair with one hand and pulled at his injured scalp. In the screaming sound, Andy was dragged out of bed fiercely!
“Andy!!!” Cynthia’s pupils suddenly shrank, and she rushed towards his younger brother.
Before she moved forward, a foot suddenly stuck out under her feet, tripping her to the ground.
The next second, her whole body was pressed by the shoulders from left to right, and then was pressed to the ground.
She struggled desperately but couldn’t move at all. Instead, her soft skin was rubbed against the ground during the struggle. Soon, the skin on her face was torn apart, blood seeping out and dripping on the ground.
The man dragged Andy out of bed and kicked Andy’s head fiercely. With his screaming in pain, his head which had not fully recovered was dripping with blood again.
Andy held his head in his hands, roared in pain, and rolled on the ground.
The man kicked him again. His leather shoes stepped on Andy’s face, and pressed hard, “You little beast, you owe me so much money but hide here and become a coward, don’t you?!”
“if you don’t pay off debts today, I will let you lose your life.”
After saying that, the man winked at the group of people behind him, and the group of people swayed iron rods and walked toward Andy.
“No!!” tears gushed out in Cynthia’s eyes. She struggled desperately and shouted, “Please don’t beat my brother… Please…”
“If you keep fighting like this, my brother will die…”
But her begging for mercy didn’t work at all. She could only watch the group of people wave the iron rod around her brother and hit him heavily on his injured head and chest.
Every blow was done with a lot of strength, and the sound of blows seemed to strike her heart, making her aching body spasm, and she almost suffocated!
Seeing that her younger brother was beaten all over the face, and there was no skin spared from wounds on his face, Cynthia’s eyes were red. The power that suddenly burst out from the depth of her soul freed her from the shackles of her body. She rushed in front of his brother and protected him with her body.
The iron rods landed on her back, and her body shuddered violently with each stroke. Her face was pale, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
She gritted her teeth tightly, but protected her younger brother even closer, enduring the heavier blow.
“Sister… you go away…” Andy’s eyes were filled with tears. He opened his mouth weakly and pushed her with his feeble hands.
“No, I’m not leaving. they could beat me if they want…” Cynthia defended his younger brother tightly, using her body as the last protection line for him. Tears as big as beans fell on Andy’s dry lips, making him burst out crying.
“Sister… It’s all my fault… I’m so useless…”
“No… don’t say that…” Cynthia shivered and covered her brother’s mouth with her hand. The hard blow from behind made her clothes soaked in cold sweat. Under the severe pain, her face was as pale as paper, to the extent of fainting.
Through the blurred vision, her sideways glance unexpectedly fell towards the open door, and her pupils suddenly froze.
