Aria took Ellie to her apartment in the downtown. Looking at this small but exquisite house, Ellie was envious.
"Aria, your house is so beautiful."
"Well, it doesn't matter. You can buy it when you have a job and make money in the future." Aria took the medicine she just bought from the pharmacy and sat down in front of Ellie. "You sprained your ankle. Apply some oil on it and I'll rub it for you," she said
"Uh... I don't think it's a good idea. " Ellie was a little hesitant. After all, they had known each other for less than an hour. She felt a little embarrassed to rub her feet and apply medicine.
"It's not a big deal. Come on, give me your foot. I used to massage my sister's feet like this. Just take me as your sister. " Aria's words touched Ellie so much that she almost burst into tears.
Since the Lin family's accident, Ellie had been looked down upon by many people. Not to mention to be good to her, even if she was regarded as a passer-by and did not deliberately aim at her, Ellie would very happy.
"Aria, you are so kind to me. Even my biological sister is not as good as you." Ellie sniffed hard and said, "You don't know how terrible it is for me to stay in prison for three years until today."
Thinking of the three years in prison, Ellie's heart ached and her warm tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
Although there weren't many people making things difficult for her because of Mark, the way those people treated others made her tremble with fear.
She had been living in fear every day. Although she didn't oppose those people openly, she could only try her best to retreat and shrink her figure.
Recalling those more than one thousand days and nights, there was still fear in her heart.
Noticing that Aria was staring at her in amazement, Ellie's heart sank and she said sadly, "are you surprised to hear that I was in jail? I know that in most people's eyes, people who have been in prison are not good people. " She withdrew her feet, stood up, bowed deeply and said, "anyway, thank you today. My feet are all right now. I have to go. "
"Where are you going?" Aria asked
"…… I don't know where I can go. At least I can find a hotel to stay for one night. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I have hands and feet. I won't starve to death, right? "
Aria's heart ached when she saw the relaxed expression on Ellie's face.
Reaching for her hand, Aria said softly, "I can't care if you want to find a job or anything, but it's too late now. I believe you hadn't have dinner. You must be hungry. You live here tonight. As you said, we'll talk about it tomorrow. "
"Aria..." Ellie was stunned and moved, with tears in her almond eyes. "I thought you..."
