Chapter 21 Bentley! Listen!
When one was humble to a certain extent, he only thought about one thing. That was to live.
She looked at Madison, whose young and immature face, vivid and lively life she could never reach in her life.
"You! I can't believe you are laughing!" Madison stamped her feet and said, "Caroline, I tell you, no amount of money you earn is useless, because everyone looks down on you! Even the female models who lean on moneybags in the public relations department are nobler than you! You don't have dignity, and you should do that thing. Who do you think will look up to you? "
Madison gave a grunt cooly and stopped looking at Caroline. Caroline stood there for a long time and then walked into the bedroom again. She looked tired. Madison's words were still hanging in her ears. "I just want to earn some tuition and living expenses. I will never do anything like you for money."
Caroline smiled helplessly. If she didn't want to earn some living expenses, have a place to live, and be able to get enough to eat rather than like the beggars on the street, she wouldn't care about money.
If she had known that she had meddled in Madison's affairs in Room 606 at that time she would have caused so much trouble today. If she was given another choice, would she...?
She thought for a moment and fell asleep with that question.
When she woke up again, she found her in the hospital.
"You're awake."
Caroline opened her eyes and said in a low voice, "Marissa, where am I?" When she spoke, she felt her throat was dry and painful.
"You are in the hospital now." Marissa cut an apple into small pieces and fed it to Caroline with a toothpick. "Eat something before you talk." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Caroline was not accustomed to her sudden care, but she obediently ate the apple fed by Marissa. "Marissa, why am I in the hospital?"
Her face was black and said, "Why are you in the hospital? I'd like to ask you, how many days have you had a high fever?" If she hadn't seen Caroline come to work and gone to Caroline's residence last night apprehensively, Caroline would have been burned to death in the staff dormitory with a high fever.
"I didn't see you at Royal Club last night, so I went to your house. You body was very hot at that time, and then I called 120 in a hurry. When you were sent to the hospital, your temperature was almost 42 degrees. In addition, your body was short of water. Even the doctors said that if you sent it later, the highly skilled doctor could not save you in the world."
Speaking of this, Marissa still had a lingering fear. "Won't you tell your roommate about your high fever? You almost lost your life!"
Marissa kept blathering. Although her tone was aggressive, Caroline felt her care. She felt a little warm and moved. Her eyes which had not shed tears for many years turned red. Marissa's care seemed to be the only window in her whole life at that time, which can bring light to her heart.
However, on the contrary, she was more worried about gain and loss. If she never got it, she would not have the pain of loss.
Caroline already knew that.
After a while, Caroline shook her voice and finally got up the courage to ask, "Why?"
"Why do you treat me so well."
An apple was put into Caroline's mouth again. Marissa gave her a complicated look and said, "No one in the world treats you well. If I was not nice to you, who will be good to you?" Caroline was very much like her in the past. Perhaps what Marissa said to Caroline just now is also said to herself.
They are of the same kind.
Marissa looked at the woman on the hospital bed trying to hide her feelings. Her eyelashes were shaking, which revealed her feelings.
She sighed and thought that woman was really silly.
"Caroline, can I ask you a question?"
"Marissa, go ahead."
"What happened between you and Mr. Shawn?" Bentley was really ruthless, but he shouldn't treat a woman like that.
"Can't you tell me?" Marissa saw Caroline's face stiffen. "It doesn't matter if you can't tell me."
"Three years ago, I killed the woman he loved."
Marissa's hands that held the toothpick paused for a moment and then fed the apple into Caroline's mouth. "In fact, you didn't kill her, did you?"
"You can't do such crazy things as killing people." Marissa said firmly, "What is the truth?"
Caroline had suffered setbacks and humiliations, but she did not complain, nor did she shed a tear. However, her tears stream down her face.
Look! Bentley! Even Marissa who had known her for less than half a year knew her so well!
Bentley! We've known each other for most of our lives!
Bentley! Listen! Finally, some people believe that I didn't kill her and didn't do such dirty things!
Caroline thought those while crying.
Marissa put down the toothpick in her hand. Instead of trying to persuade Caroline not to cry, she slowly touched Caroline's hairy head with her palm and said, "It's OK. I know that. How dare you kill people? No, I should say, you are too dignified to kill her."
She continued. "I guess you should have loved Mr. Shawn very much. But you will never kill his lover in order to get Mr. Shawn. Caroline, you are too dignified to do such a thing."
Caroline's tears fell like rain. Her feelings, which she had not repressed for many years, were suddenly released.
Caroline didn't stop crying that afternoon.
She said incoherently to Marissa, "I didn't do that. He didn't believe that. They didn't believe that."
"He hates me, and the whole world knows that. I had thought I can live a peaceful life after I get out of prison."
"Marissa, they insulted me. The whole world insulted me. They insulted me for being vicious and mean. Marissa, I don't care about that money at all."
"They humiliated me. They let me lie on the ground and walk like a dog wagging its tail. They scolded me. I didn't care. That's nothing.
In prison, I was stripped naked and thrown into a cage, and the high-pressure water gun was directly directed at my body. In the freezing winter, the water is stinging. If I complained, someone would come up and beat me when I returned to the cell. I have experienced things that are more difficult than that. That is nothing"
"Marissa, she died. She died to save me. I'm a pest. I owe her so much. I can't die. I want to live for her and help her realize the Gartane Lake dream."
Marissa has been accompanying Caroline, listening to her incoherent narration. For Caroline, the grievances of many years have finally been vented today. She also spoke out the secret in her heart incoherently.
Marissa didn't know what the Gartane Lake's dream was and who that girl was. But she vaguely guessed that this girl was more important than life for Caroline.
