Beth was incredibly round-eyed.
‘He actually... came to take it out of me because I fought back against Carina on set? Why were you doing this?’
Beth was guilty of him because the affairs between her and Aaron had disgraced him.
Karl was the illegitimate son in his family. Many people didn’t like him because of his natural stuttering.
Her ears could not hear. Because of both disabilities, she and Karl were very close.
Mrs. Johnson thought they liked each other, so she announced her engagement to Karl at her birthday party.
She only loved Aaron; how could she agree to this marriage. But before she could break off this engagement, she had sex with Aaron already.
Everyone thought that she was disgusted with Karl with a stammering problem, so she had to do such a disgraceful thing, sleeping with Aaron under the name of Karl’s fiancee, so the reputation of Karl’s family was destroyed. Everyone was laughing at him because of this incident. Karl’s Mom even had a heart attack because of this scandal.
Karl was driven out of his home and was deprived of everything because he was unable to bring any benefits to his family through the marriage with the Johnson’s and was so poor that he could not even afford the tuition.
Karl didn't have money to go to college at that time. But looking for a job, others did not want disabled people, he can only do the most difficult and most exhausting work, running to the construction site every day to move bricks. In addition, he had to take care of his mother, who had a heart condition.
She knew that it was because of herself that he became what he is now. She worked so hard to earn money for him to get tuition, selling blood for him, and finally…she sold a kidney for him.
She gave him every penny.
After all, it was her fault that he got kicked out of his home with nothing.
Later, Karl went abroad to study as he wished. They were no longer involved with each other.
‘But he, how can he do this to me for Carina?’
“No, Karl, you can't do this to me.” Beth said with a husky voice.
The once gentle Karl had become totally different.
“I can't? Today, I will let you know, that Carina is not someone you can bully! You dare to hurt her; you would have to pay the price.”
Not waiting for Beth to excuse herself, Karl said, “Throw her down”
The three words smashed through all her thoughts. Beth was grieved with numbness.
Her hands were tied with rough ropes, and she was thrown straight down into the river.
“Bang!”
She was smashed into the water, and the cold water swept her away in an instant. The water flooded over her head, her mind went blank, struggling like crazy. But her hands were caught in the rope, and her struggle was in vain.
“Help...” she called for help by taking advantage of the river water faded that moment.
Karl looked at her in the river from above. He stood in the dark, and the light around him dispersed. It was as if there was not a bit of light on him. “Are you scared now? Then you…Have you…Have you ever thought about Carina? I swore that I would never let anyone bully her again.”
He spoke slowly, but that was why it seemed frightening.
But when he mentioned Carina, he became very gentle.
It was the only glimpse of light in the darkness.
