"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 saved my life that you suffered a mild envenomation. How could I possibly let you pay for your expenses?"
Eevonne was slightly embarrassed. "But I'm afraid that you're not doing so well in terms of money as well. Aren't you here to ask for your payment? You still haven't gotten your payment. Do you have money?"
"I'm slightly better than you, " said Kingston, "Don't worry."
Eevonne nodded. "Thank you, Kingston." "Rest well tonight. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. You should spend a few more nights here in the hospital, and discharge when you have no more toxins left in your body. In any case, your relatives would never expect you to be staying in the hospital. Just let them be anxious. Let them be all eaten up by anxiety," Kingston smiled and said.
Eevonne burst out laughing as well.
"Get some sleep," said Kingston.
