Chapter 5 She Won't Sleep with Him
After Ursula and her daughters moved out of the Yates's and lost the protection of the Yates family, the debt collectors became even more unscrupulous. No matter where Ursula and her daughters moved, they would smash and destroy everything when they found Ursula and her daughters and took all the valuable things again after frightening them.
Gwenyth was beautiful, and they threatened to sell her to get the money back.
Ursula could only continue running away with her daughters.
Now, Ursula was no longer in good health as before. She was too tired to run away.
"I'm wondering if we should ask your father for help," she finally said.
She was not confident at all when she spoke.
Upon hearing that, Gwenyth gritted her teeth and said, "Don't ask him for help, never ever!"
Inwardly, Gwenyth added, "He's simply a bastard who abandoned his wife and daughters? How can we beg him?"
"Then what should we do?" Ursula looked tired with tears on her face.
She fell to the ground feebly and burst into tears again with her face behind her hands.
Gwenyth couldn't hold back anymore and tears streamed down her face. She wiped them with the back of her hand quickly and moved the sofa and the coffee table to their original positions. Then, she helped Ursula to the sofa and cleaned up the mess.
After cleaning the living room, Gwenyth looked at the secondary bedroom. It was an apartment with two bedrooms and one living room, which covered an area of sixty square meters. Gwenyth had been living in the same room with her sister.
Gwenyth hadn't seen her sister since she came back and walked towards the secondary bedroom. When Gwenyth turned on the light, she found a pair of bare feet hidden behind the curtain.
Gwenyth walked up and parted the curtain, only to see Susie huddling on the ground with her arms around her knees. Susie's hair was messy like Ursula's, and there were also palm marks on both sides of her face.
Tears welled up in Gwenyth's eyes.
Susie huddled up there, obviously frightened.
Susie had suffered from autism since she was a child, and she couldn't take care of herself. When she had an attack before, she had even hurt herself. Therefore, she was the one who needed the most care in the family.
Thinking of the ferocious faces of those debt collectors, Gwenyth immediately squatted down and carefully held Susie in her arms.
"Were you scared?" She patted Susie's back and comforted her, "There, there. I'm back. Don't be afraid."
"Our mother was bullied," sobbed Susie.
"I know. I'm here. Don't be afraid," whispered Gwenyth.
"Our mother was bullied so much that she cried," Susie continued.
Gwenyth almost burst into tears again. She took a deep breath and touched Susie's head. "Don't worry. I will protect you. Are you hungry, Susie? Shall I cook some spaghetti for you?"
Susie nodded.
Susie had a serious communication problem and spoke very slowly, but Gwenyth knew that Susie knew everything, and the girl was just sick and could not express her feelings like normal people.
"It is cold to sit on the ground. Sit on the sofa and wait for me," said Gwenyth.
Susie stood up as Gwenyth said with her help.
Gwenyth helped Susue put on the slippers and led her to Ursula.
Ursula was getting tired from crying. Seeing that Susie finally came out from behind the curtain, Ursula pulled Susie into her arms. Susie raised her head and wiped Ursula's tears, which made Gwenyth feel bad.
Gwenyth walked into the kitchen to cook some spaghetti, but the pots and plates had been smashed.
Gwenyth had no choice but to order takeout on the phone. After the food was delivered, the three of them ate something together.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Gwenyth lured her sister to sleep. Then he cleaned up the two bedrooms which were in a mess and went to clean the kitchen, getting busy until 1 a.m.
Her wet clothes had already been dried and gotten wet again because she sweated a lot.
Gwenyth wiped the sweat on her forehead, took a nightgown, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Since her mother and sister had fallen asleep, Gwenyth didn't use the hair dryer. Instead, she simply wiped her hair with a towel over and over again until it was no longer dripping. Then she lay on the bed to rest.
She was tired, but she couldn't fall asleep.
She thought about what had happened between Edison and Nancy, the agreement, and the group of annoying debt collectors.
She stayed awake until half past three in the morning and finally felt a little sleepy. Then she slept for a few hours, and when the alarm clock rang, she immediately got up.
After a simple freshen-up, Gwenyth went downstairs to buy some breakfast. After taking breakfast home, she grabbed some food and hurried to take the subway to the hotel.
She was on the day shift this week and had to work for eight hours every day from nine o'clock in the morning to five o'clock in the afternoon.
After entering the hotel, Gwenyth inquired at the front desk and learned that the man in the presidential suite hadn't checked out yet.
"Don't you know? That suite is not open to the public. Our president will come and stay there occasionally," the receptionist said in a low voice.
