"I was truly such a jerk at that time. His mother was already willing to lend five thousand dollars to me and lend me a helping hand, but I just kept staying in his house and I didn't want to leave. In the end, his mother truly had no other way anymore, so she called the police. When I was thrown out of his house by the police, I truly was like a mentally insane person. The people in their neighborhood criticized me. However, nobody knew that I really didn't spend my boyfriend's money. I really, really didn't want anything from him. I just wanted a boyfriend. I needed warmth and I needed a family. What's more, I needed a good family in the big city to let me hold my head up high."
Hearing that, Kingston sighed emotionally.
"Actually, your family also has to bear a certain responsibility for the reason you became like that."
When Eevonne heard what Kingston said, she burst out in tears. "Do you know, Kingston? I needed warmth and strength too much. My boyfriend was all of my warmth and strength. Without him, it made me feel even more terrified than owing tens of thousands of dollars. Without him, I felt like I could die. After I was thrown out by the police, I was still unwilling to give up. I stayed at the entrance of their neighborhood to wait for him every day regardless of day or night. I didn't go find a job. I didn't do anything at all. I just relied on the money from my credit card to move back and forth repeatedly. The more I moved back and forth, the less money I had. I spent the entire year keeping watch at the entrance of my boyfriend's neighborhood with the hope of meeting him once. However, I did not see his figure for the entire year. For the entire year, my family had no idea that I actually did not have a job anymore. I didn't have a decent job working in an office in the big city. Instead, I was pacing back and forth like a beggar at the entrance of a residential neighborhood. I just kept pacing back and forth. It was one day when I've decided to give up, never to come to that neighborhood anymore, and to jump into the river and kill myself that I suddenly realized that my boyfriend has returned."
"Was it to avoid you that he did not return home for a whole year?" Kingston asked curiously.
Eevonne shook her head with tears streaming down her cheeks. "No." "Then he was..." Kingston said. "That day when I saw him, he was dragging a huge suitcase with wheels and was walking toward the entrance of the neighborhood like he had had a long journey. I saw him at once. I was so excited at that time that tears gushed down my cheeks. I ran to him like crazy." Eevonne recalled her past in pain.
Kingston could almost figure out the outcome. "Eevonne, he no longer recognizes you anymore, isn't it?
Eevonne's tears streamed rapidly down her cheeks. "He pinched his nose, looked at me with incredible disgust, and asked me,' Who are you?'"
