In the evening, I went to the guest room to chat with Nina. She was lying on the bed, thinking of something. When she saw me come in, she sat up quickly and smiled at me. "Wanda."
I pulled a chair from the side, sat down, and looked at her. "Are you feeling better?"
She smiled awkwardly and nodded. "Yeah, I feel much better after talking with the family, but..."
Nina dragged out her words and did not continue. She just gritted her teeth, her expression a little dark.
I looked at her and noticed that she was wearing a strange expression, so I asked softly, "You’ve escaped now. I heard the police arrested the Jarns and that middle-aged woman. Some other girls who were sold there have gone home. Some of them developed feelings and chose to remain, but I suppose it’s not a bad outcome. What are you thinking?"
Nina sighed, her tone helpless. "Wanda, how do you think those girls’ lives will be after they go back?"
Her eyes were slightly red. She was also talking about herself. "Even if they can gain a foothold in a city, can they still find their own happiness?"
Nina's voice was trembling, and finally, she lowered her head, her tears falling on the bed.
This distressed me.
