Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 54

"Erm, boss, my cellphone is out of power and I don't have any money on me......" She didn't know what to do either, it was her first time in such situation.

The boss took a glimpse of Jean, "Judging from your clothes, they aren't cheap. You don't look like a swindler. However, I operate a business, not charity, so you'll still have to pay up."

"I didn't say that I wouldn't. I just don't have money right now. How about tomorrow? I will find a place to charge my cellphone and call my friend to pick me up. By that time, I can pay for my meal. Is this alright?"

At that moment, she felt so helpless.

With the mention of her cellphone, the eyes of the boss gleamed, "Well, you can just keep your cellphone here and return tomorrow when you find a charger".

Jean had no choice but to give her cellphone to the boss as guarantee.

She was drowned in powerlessness when such situation happened. Jean walked on the street with her luggage, feeling extremely depressed. This town was quiet, very different from the city as it would be ablaze by now.

Only a few pedestrians roamed the streets and shops closed early. She was left alone to wander around aimlessly and helplessly.

Her long walk led her back to where she started. No one was around either. It was dark, nothing around but an old street light illuminating a stop sign.

The night was so quiet that she could hear her own breathing clearly. It was completely dark ahead as the street light failed to brighten anything further.

A cold breeze chilled her face. Such tranquil night reminded her of the night outside the operation room several years ago. Those dim lights that shone down the aisle made her feel nothing but despair.

Her mother passed away peacefully inside the operation room while her father stayed outside with another woman. At that time, she was still a child. Incapable of understanding human warmth, only fear. Feared of being alone and without anyone to rely on.

It was a feeling she had forgotten over the years. It came back to haunt her tonight.

The face of her mother was all but a blurry memory at that moment. What's left was the despair of being alone. Jean bent down slowly, lowered her head and buried it between her thighs.

Despair consumed her whole as the streets remained deserted. She had nothing now. No family, no friends, no money, nothing.

Just her, alone in this forsaken corner. Jean couldn't help but to cry over those thoughts. She tried to be strong her whole life but she couldn't help but to break down now.

It's unknown how long Jean had squatted there crying. She was afraid. The experience at the hospital traumatized her. The trauma was gradually buried deep inside her these years

But now...... How could she get through this? How could she get through tonight? What about tomorrow? She didn't know.

Zed...... Zed, Zed, where are you? She suddenly missed that man. She was desperate to divorce him and to never see him again but now, she wished it badly that he would just appear in front of her.

Had she gone mad? There was no way Zed would came to her aid.

In fact, no one really cared about her at all. She was abandoned. Even if she didn't agree to sever her father-daughter relationship, she was unloved by all her blood-related.

As time passed, Jean's feet became numb after squatting for so long. She didn't feel any better, in fact, the more she thought about it, the more depressed she became.
