Kingston looked at Eevonne while feeling sorry for her. "Were you.Jn a wretched state at that time?"
Eevonne nodded, laughed at herself, and said, "I wasn't just in a wretched state. My hair was all knotted up and was in clumps. My face was so dirty that you can't tell what's the original color anymore. Also, I had a very pungent odor. Kingston, if you think about how I looked, you would find it extremely hilarious. However, I just appeared in front of my ex-boyfriend like that. I truly frightened him at that time. I wanted very badly to approach and catch him to tell me how I was."
"Did you catch him?" Kingston actually wanted to tell her that she could not pester him anymore.
Eevonne nodded. "I caught him."
Kingston was speechless.
"It took him quite a while to realize that it was me. At that moment when he saw me, he was very surprised. Immediately after, he became very disgusted. However, his disgust only appeared for a very short time before it went by. He calmly told me that he would first take me to a bathhouse to take a shower and then he would buy me new clothes."
"Well, he's considered a boy with a conscience," Kingston said.
"However, the more he was like that, the more pain I felt as if my heart was being sliced by a knife. It would have been better for him to just beat me up violently and let me give up on him," said Eevonne in tears.
"WelL.everybody is taught differently by their family. He has such a good character, he probably won't do such a thing as beating a woman up, right?" Kingston said.
Eevonne hung her head dejected. "He didn't beat me up, and he even brought me to the bathhouse for me to shower and bought me new clothes. He told me very calmly to return to my hometown or be an honest worker at a factory. If I truly didn't want to work in the factory, I would be a waitress in a restaurant as well. He kept advising me like that and did not care that I was crying. Later, my crying truly annoyed him too much, so he walked off. He walked in front while I followed him from behind. I just kept following him. He was tall and his legs were long. After I followed him for a few minutes and we came to an empty place, he sprinted off and disappeared without any trace. At that moment, I was so sad that I truly wanted to just bang my head against something and kill myself." “Wh-Why did you do such a thing? You guys were only dating. How could you keep pestering him?" Kingston asked.
What he actually wanted to say was that if he had met a devilish woman like her, he would also run away. However, he did not say anything in the end. The girl in front of him already cried so much that her eyes were swollen, and she looked incredibly pitiful in Kingston’s eyes. He did not see that her past was so tainted, he did not see the devilish behavior she had in the past. At that moment, he only saw a pitiful girl who was beating herself up. When he was facing a girl like that, even if she had never saved his life, he also could not bear to scold her anymore.
She was already badly beaten up by her cousins and despised by her mother. God has already punished her, has He not? She was repenting. There was actually still a part in her heart that was very pure.
Perhaps it was because her family had never given her any warmth, when she saw a lightbulb, she would think that it was the warm sun, let alone the fact that the person she met was handsome, goodlooking, and warm with a sunny disposition.
In that instant, all the bad opinions Kingston had of her went away with the wind. What replaced it was the pity and sorry he felt for her. For some reason, even though the girl in front of him had so many misdeeds and was so unlikeable, Kingston felt sorry for her from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps it was because her name sounds the same as his cousin. Perhaps it was
because he still had not found his only cousin, he subconsciously hoped that if Yvonne were to encounter such a difficult situation as well, someone would help her.
