Her eyelashes fluttered down, and she tried dialing the number again, only to find out she was blocked this time.
With no other choice, she dialed Carol's number.
Upon hearing her voice, Carol was shocked.
"Text me your address, I'll be right there!"
Maja handed the phone back to the young girl, her voice husky, "Thanks, sweetheart."
The girl had overheard the male voice on the other end and noticing Maja's pregnant belly, she comforted her immediately.
"Was that your husband just now? You're pregnant and he's behaving like that! He's such a jerk. You should divorce him once you're back. Don't marry such a man."
A bitter smile spread across Maja's face. She had already divorced him. He was her ex-husband.
She didn't say anything and just listened as the girl's uncle began to hurry them along.
"Let's go, or those debt collectors will really come to find us."
The girl glanced at Maja, patting her shoulder reassuringly.
"You should definitely get a divorce when you're back. An unreliable man can ruin a whole family, just like my father. He gambled away everything and even had a mistress, and now the debt collectors are at our door. They drove my mother to suicide, and he ran away with all the money, leaving us behind. You're really pretty. Don't waste your time on such man. They're only good for the good times, not the hard ones."
Maja was surprised by the wisdom in the young girl's words, and offered her a small smile.
"Right, I'll remember that. And you too, focus on your career when you grow up."
The girl nodded vigorously.
The middle-aged man watched their interaction, a pang of sadness in his heart. He quickly urged them to leave.
"Let's go, if we don't, those people might really come."
The girl nodded, but couldn't bear to see Maja sitting there alone.
"Don't wander off, just wait here for your family."
Maja nodded. If she had her phone, she would have transferred some money to the girl, having overheard their conversation and knowing they were in need.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
