Wilson nodded and turned away.
After he was gone far, Elsie said to Jane, “What do you want to talk to me? Do you think you still can insult me face to face now? Haven’t you seen it? He doesn’t care about my past at all. I won’t know if he will in the future, but at least at this moment, he’s willing to protect me and trust me. I don’t care what will happen in the future. I only focus on my current happiness. But, you will fall into Hell forever.”
“You are so lucky,” Jane suddenly said.
“Do you know what on earth happened when Wilson Weaver was lying on the ground that night? I also expect to escape from that place back then, just like you. I didn’t care no matter what kind of life I would lead, or even I still needed to sell my body. I wished to leave there. The man that Wilson Weaver talked about was a fat nasty man. He was my client at that time. When we walked on the street, we saw Wilson Weaver lying on the ground, covered with blood.
“Then, that fat man asked me to humiliate Wilson Weaver as he was covered in blood. In fact, I didn’t want to do it because I even couldn’t protect myself. How could I afford to offend someone who looked more miserable than I was? At that time, Wilson Weaver looked extremely miserable and almost dying, but at least I was alive, wasn’t I?”
After that, Jane laughed in sorrow.
“I said why we would care about this kind of man. He was dying anyway. Suddenly, that fat man promised me as long as I could humiliate the dying man with him, he would take me from that place. As a matter of fact, I know that fat man was lying, and he was so drunk at that time. However, for that tiny ray of hope, I wanted to have a try. Actually, I had known that the fat man was joking with me, but I still humiliated the dying man with him. Probably I had made a wrong choice quite a long time ago. If I still cared about my life or even could rescue Wilson Waver back then, if I were still compassionate, probably I would be like you and could have a chance to leave that place.”
Jane fell into silence after finishing her words. Elsie could see tears dropping from her eyes. Suddenly, Elsie felt bitter.
She thought about her past. The sorrow and pressure could definitely destroy a woman, making a woman ruthless and numb.
In fact, Elsie also had led a life in numbness and ignorance later. If it weren’t that Wilson had changed her or she had encountered her family and friends and met Wilson again, her life problem still wouldn’t be resolved even after she had left that place.
“Do you still have any family?” Elsie suddenly asked Jane.
“I’m the same as you. We both are orphans. I don’t have any family. If I had something to rely on, how could our lives be like that?”
“If you can leave here alive, what do you want to do in the future?” Elsie asked again.
Jane laughed out ironically.
“Why? Do you pity me? Do you want to set me free? I know what I’ve done. You can take revenge on me. Don’t look at me with pity.”
Elsie lowered her head and smiled.
“We both know what we have been through in the past. I even hoped all the girls from that place could lead normal lives. Even you’ve done such an evil thing to me. I still hope your life can become better. This is your only chance. If you refuse this opportunity, you’ll never have it in the future. Tell me. What do you want to do in the future?”
Upon hearing her question, Jane burst into laughter. The longer she laughed, the more tears dropped.
“I wish to move to an island where no one knows me. I can buy a house with my savings. Whenever there are tourists, I can make some money. I want to spend the rest of my life there. I can walk along the beach every day and host the tourists occasionally. I love the sea, but I’ve had no chance to go there.”
Upon hearing her answer, Elsie smiled.
“Remember. This is your only chance. If you came back to the same path or you failed to control yourself in the future, you wouldn’t have the right to blame others.”
After that, Elsie turned away.
Finally, Jane said, “Thank you.”
Wilson drove Elsie back home.
Upon hearing Elsie’s decision on Jane, he asked in curiosity, “Why did you suddenly decide to let go of her?”
“Probably, I suddenly became kind-hearted. I thought for a moment. She wasn’t willing to choose such a life and was also forced, just like me. She needs to be saved. Even if she’s so evil, I’m willing to believe that she was suppressed and forced. I believed she used to have a twisted heart because of her living environment. I wanted to give her a chance to see if she could lead a normal life.”
“I see. I’ll arrange this. Since this is your decision, I respect it.”
Upon hearing Wilson’s words, Elsie smiled.
