Her eyelashes fluttered down, and she tried dialing the number again, only to find out she was blocked this time.

With no other choice, she dialed Carol’s number.

Upon hearing her voice, Carol was shocked.

Text me your address, I’ll be right there!”

Maja handed the phone back to the young girl, her voice husky, “Thanks, sweetheart”

The girl had overheard the male voice on the other end and noticing Maja’s pregnant belly, she comforted her

immediately.

Was that your husband just now? You’re pregnant and he’s behaving like that! He’s such a jerk. You should divorce

him once you’re back. Don’t marry

such a man.”

A bitter smile spread across Maja’s face. She had already divorced him. He was her ex–husband.

She didn’t say anything and just listened as the girl’s uncle began to hurry them along

“Let’s go, or those debt collectors will really come to find us.”

The girl glanced at Maja, patting her shoulder reassuringly

You should definitely get a divorce when you’re back. An unreliable man can ruin a whole family, just like my father.

He gambled away everything and even had a mistress, and now the debt collectors are at our door. They drove my

mother to suicide, and he ran away with all the money, leaving us behind You’re really pretty. Don’t waste your time

on such man. They’re only good for the good times, not the hard ones.”

Maja was surprised by the wisdom in the young girl’s words, and offered her a small smile

“Right, I’ll remember that. And you too, focus on your career when you grow up.”

The girl nodded vigorously.

The middle–aged man watched their interaction, a pang of sadness in his heart. He quickly urged them to leave.

“Let’s go, if we don’t, those people might really come.”

The girl nodded, but couldn’t bear to see Maja sitting there alone.

“Don’t wander off, just wait here for your family.”

Maja nodded. If she had her phone, she would have transferred some money to the girl, having overheard their

conversation and knowing they were in need.

“I owe you one. Give me your number, in case I need to reach out.”

The girl scribbled her number on a piece of paper and handed it to Maja.

“If nobody comes to pick you up, you can call me. I’ll make sure you get home safe

The middle–aged man saw the girl making promises she couldn’t keep and lightly rapped her on the head

apologizing to Maja.

I’m sorry, she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. We’re also in a tough spot right now Her family owes a lot of

money to some loan sharks. Her mother was driven to suicide and now she’s all that’s left. Her parents were in the

middle of a divorce, but her father ran off with all the money her mother had saved, which wasn’t his to begin with.

Her mother felt guilty and took her own life. Their house was foreclosed, so we’re barely getting by I’m sorry, but

it’s best if you don’t call us.”

Then the man took the girl by the arm and led ber away.

But they’d barely made it a few yards when several cars pulled up beside them and a group of men wielding

baseball bats emerged.

The man’s pupils dilated, and he quickly pulled the girl behind him

These were the debt collectors, and they had caught up with them.

A shadow crossed the girl’s face, and she stepped out from behind the man.

“You should go first, uncle”

The debt collectors erupted in laughter, grabbing the girl.

“Your father ran off with our money, so you’re going to work it off for him. But even if we sold you ten times, it

wouldn’t be enough to cover his debl Better get used to pleasing customers, or we’ll have no problem disposing of

you”

The man tried to stop them, but a baseball bat came crashing down on his head

Blood spurted from his wound, and he swayed on his feet

“Unclel

The girl screamed, trying to rush to his side, but hor arm was held tightly She stomped on one of the menis feet,

only to be slapped to the ground.

Ignoring the pain in her cheek, she crawled over to the man.

“Uncle, are you okay? I’m sorry”

If they had just run away last night, none of this would have happened.
