The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 169

Fortunately, the driver of the next bus was much friendlier.

He got out to lower the accessibility ramp so Mika could push Julian aboard.

But the bus was still quite crowded, given it was peak commuting hour for students and office workers.

The students were fine; they just curiously admired Julian's striking features and politely squeezed together to make a little room for him.

But there were still some unfriendly folks.

For instance, a commuter trying to get off the bus clicked his tongue in annoyance as he squeezed past Julian, whose wheelchair took up the space of nearly two people.

"If you're handicapped, you shouldn't go out during rush hour!

Can't you go out and play some other time? Why squeeze in when everyone else has actual business to attend to!"

"Watch your mouth! Is this bus reserved just for you!?"

Mika immediately shot back, but the man had already rushed off the bus and didn't even hear her.

Now even Mika felt a wave of frustration.

But Julian grew even quieter than before, barely saying a word.

When a schoolgirl tried to comfort him, he even managed a faint, polite smile.

"It's fine. I'm used to it."

Mika suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

If she had just hailed a cab to the subway station, would they have avoided all this?

But in a major city, taking cabs everywhere wasn't cheap.

How many disabled individuals with limited income could actually afford to take a cab every single time they left the house?

How many of them constantly endured this kind of disgust from the outside world, eventually believing they were nothing but a burden to society?

Luckily, taking the subway went much smoother; the accessibility features were fully fleshed out.

Julian didn't even have to worry about fighting for a seat.

Because he brought his own dedicated seat wherever he went.
