Henry was instantly reminded of the disgusting sensation of the larvae juices…
He gagged at the thought of it and his stomach began to churn.
This damnable woman!
He rushed to the rubbish bin in front and, with a retch, he emptied the contents of his stomach, including the food that he ate that afternoon.
Seeing him vomit, Monique immediately ran toward the convenience store. Henry stared at her back with a death glare, thinking that she was trying to escape.
How dare she run away after making him puke his guts out? He went after her in long strides.
Monique found the mineral water shelf and bent down to take a bottle.
Henry was blinded by rage, thinking that Monique was trying to hide down there.
Before she could straighten her back, someone hoisted her up.
The person was very rough. Monique spun around immediately and yelled, “Who’s that! What are you doing!”
“Are you trying to run away? Where did you think you were going?” Henry’s voice was cruel and cold. “Were you thinking of running back to that guy? How cheap can you be? Hooking up with guys wherever you go!”
Monique’s face contorted into an awful expression. Her clear eyes glossed over. What on earth was he talking about?
She came here to buy him a bottle of mineral water and he was treating her this way. With a heavy heart, she bit her lips and said, “I’m not running away. I just wanted to get you water.”
Henry shifted his gaze to Monique’s hand and saw the bottle of water she was holding. His icy glare melted instantly. “I thought…”
She could not hold it in any longer and burst into tears, “How could you do this to me? Why? Why does everybody want to punish me? Is it because I’m an orphan? Waa…waa…”
When she was a kid, she would fight back whenever someone teased her because she had her grandfather’s support.
When her grandfather passed away, she had to endure all her sorrows and be an obedient child as she lived under the roof of others. She tried her best to accommodate Yvonne, but why did she still put her in harm's way?
Could someone tell her why? What did she do to deserve all this?
She never had the chance to vent her misery. Why did her parents give birth to her only to abandon her? Why?
Why did they choose to have her if they did not want a child in the first place? Why did they leave her to struggle alone while they were enjoying their lives somewhere in the world?
