Kingston hung up the call immediately after he said that.
Eevonne looked concern. "Kingston, we've only met each other by chance. Don't get yourself involved in this mess. You have no idea. My aunt's daughter is even harder to deal with than my uncle’s daughter. My cousin, who is my uncle's daughter, is just a little vulgar at best. However, this cousin is different. She is still young this year. She is only twenty-four, which is six years younger than me. She also graduated from a prestigious college. Besides, she has been living very comfortably since childhood. Her father, who is my uncle, is quite capable. Ever since my cousin started going to kindergarten, my uncle and aunt would basically bring her and her younger brother abroad for travel every summer. Also, even though they are rich, my aunt had never spoiled her children. That means my cousin is very knowledgeable and also very hardworking. She has always been working hard since she was a child and she studied all the way till now by taking one step at a time. She is only twenty-four this year, but she is already working as an educator in a college in the provincial capital. She is truly a proper educator. The school's principal had even personally made a phone call to her parents. She is only twenty-four years old, but she is already a teaching assistant at a college. She is not just extremely dignified in the eyes of my relatives, she is also the pride and glory of our village. There's no need for you to argue with her. I'm serious, Kingston."
Kingston looked at her calmly. "What's the matter? You're already in dire straits yourself, but you're actually still concerned about my situation?"
"This has nothing to do with you, to begin with. You’ve already listened to me spilling my guts. To be honest, even for friends, there aren’t many who are willing to listen to the other party's complaints, let alone the fact that we've only met each other by chance. Actually, helping you to suck out the venom of the snake is something that anybody would do. It's no big deal, Kingston. You've already helped me a lot when you were willing to listen to everything I said last night. If I didn't spill my guts to you, I may truly have already become a psycho. I might have already given up on myself so much today that I would want to go kill them. I already have no other way out anyway, so who do I have to be afraid of? However, things are different now. After I've told you all about my sorrows, you've comforted me so much. You kept telling me that I’m not a psycho and I'm a very, very good girl. You even told me that you'll introduce your friend to me in the future. I'm serious, Kingston.
Because of you, I have hope for my life again. I was thinking that there isn't any obstacle in this world that can't be overcome. I'll be able to get through it.
Besides, it's just a debt that is about ten thousand dollars, I can pay it off. As for those matters in my family, it's nothing more than my uncle wanting my family's house. If he wants it, he can just take it. I don't have the ability to fight with them, so just let them be. Everything will be fine, Kingston."
When Kingston saw that the girl in front of him became strong and optimistic just because he comforted her, he could not help but feel emotional. He suddenly felt that there was only a thin line between kind and evil sometimes. Perhaps if someone were to fuel the flames when another person was already at their wit's end and beyond despair, that person might head toward the abyss from then on without turning back at all. If at that moment, someone could help that person out, there might be a chance that the person would have a bright future ahead of him. That was simply human nature. It has nothing to do with what was right or wrong.
However, a severe consequence could be caused by that one simple wrong decision.
