Chapter 34: The answers

Kaylin didn't take long to think, nor did she take it seriously. Her feelings are simple so let it grow and grow instead of smothering the sprout that has just emerged from her face. Kaylin is also a person of great understanding and heart. She never judges a person by looks. With Kaylin attributing the weirdos or the aggressive to the bad guys. On the contrary, people who are friendly, talkative, or laugh are good. That is completely wrong. Kaylin also doesn't judge other people's pasts. She wants Eric to get to know her better, so she'll tell him the truth.
Looking deeply into Eric's eyes, Kaylin made a decisive decision. She knows it's a gamble, but she's not a coward. In a calm voice, she asked Eric a question.
"Eric, I want my happiness from you. Can you do it?"
Eric's face lit up a lot after Kaylin finished his words. What does she mean? Eric felt a little confused, for the first time he showed his bewilderment.
"Answer me, Eric, can you make me happy?" Kaylin repeated the question, intending to urge Eric to answer quickly, not to make her heart lose to reason: "I want you to look me in the eye and give me the most sincere answer."
Eric finally understood what Kaylin expected from him. Eric wasn't sure about the future, but it was okay to try, as well as try.
As requested, Eric looked straight into Kaylin's eyes and said with all sincerity: "I'm not sure about the future, because I've never thought about it. But starting today I will seriously think about it. believe that I can make a good and happy future with my efforts and relentless efforts. If you choose to stay with me, I promise to move forward."
Eric was so sincere, Kaylin could tell with both her heart and her mind. There was nothing more to say, Eric pleased Kaylin.
"I agree." Kaylin reveals her determination: "I want us to try, Eric let's paint our future together?"
"Thank you." Eric said emotionally, pulling Kaylin into a tight hug and the girl did not hesitate to return it with all her affection: "As long as you don't choose to let go of me, I will hold you tight. " Eric whispered the promise into Kaylin's ear making her smile happily. Not sure why but Kaylin trusted Eric. What he says he will surely keep.
"Yes," Kaylin whispered in agreement. Tears fell from her eyes. Kaylin feels this moment is very meaningful and she wants to express her happiness with tears. For Eric too, he feels like he has the strength to survive. He was rejected a lot in the past, and now his heart is truly comforted and soothed. Eric believes Kaylin will help him heal his broken heart. Eric doesn't need a big love or a fuss. He wants to love Kaylin loves him gently but quietly.
In a moment two hearts are in sync in one tune. Love once again shines a wonderful light.
After a while, the conversation still hadn't come to an end. It may feel lengthy, but it's necessary. Because Eric wanted Kaylin to know him in different ways. Eric wants Kaylin to just not love him for the way he looks or the way he is. That wouldn't be fair to either of them. Eric thinks Kaylin has a right to know about his secrets, even dark ones.
"What happened next?" Kaylin wondered, she figured out some parts early on and of course, the story would involve Egan.
Clinging his lover closer to him, Eric hugged Kaylin with all his affection.
"Then he was arrested." Eric continued to tell in a calm voice: "You should have been sentenced to life in prison. However...."
Eric hung up, he was remembering the old days. Those are unforgettable memories, forcing him to remember them forever. Then Taking a deep breath, Eric continued:
"You know what, then..."
"Let me guess." Kaylin suddenly eagerly interrupted Eric's words: "Your savior has appeared and he has helped you."
Eric looked up at Eric, she smiled brightly, he recognized Kaylin as a smart girl, listening one to ten. Eric's smile was indirectly the answer that satisfied Kaylin.
"And that person I also met and interacted with. His name is..." Kaylin chirped showing her sharp analytical ability.
"Egan." Eric smiled, he always talked about his benefactor with the greatest gratitude.
"Now I understand why you were loyal to Egan." Kaylin suddenly confided: "I thought Egan had a lot of money and power to pressure you to work for him. But it turned out not. I will have to apologize to Egan for my wrong thinking."
Kaylin smiled sweetly, looking affectionately at Eric. He patted Kaylin's head and confessed:
"Egan is very nice, I have the heart to volunteer to be Egan's assistant. I have to repay Egan's favor. Do you mind if I spend too much time on Egan?" Eric expressed his concerns again.
"No." Kaylin happily said: "Otherwise, I will give you a hand. Because it's thanks to Egan that I have today's Eric."
Hearing Kaylin's meaningful words moved Eric. He was grateful to God for allowing him to meet Kaylin. After searching for a long time for a woman he would devote himself to, he has finally found it. Kaylin is good to Eric, he is determined not to betray her feelings.
"I love you, Kaylin." Eric's sudden confession made Kaylin blush in embarrassment.
"I love you too." After saying that, the girl hid her face in her lover's chest to hide the blush on her face.
Kaylin was late to the hospital that afternoon due to her time-consuming conversation with Eric. Fortunately, while Kaylin was absent, there was nothing serious or necessary at the hospital for her presence.
...
Egan Robert surreptitiously opened the door and entered the room where Vera was resting. Ever since Eric and Kaylin left the house, Egan hadn't entered the room once. He needed some courage to see poor Vera lying weakly in bed.
Now, what caught Egan's eyes was the image of a frail girl lying motionless in a resting state. The water pipe is connected to Vera's arm. She was washed by Kaylin, changed into a new outfit. Now she looks as beautiful as a sleeping angel. Egan couldn't hold back his lust but reached out and stroked Vera's bruised face. The bastards beat her when she struggled to stop them from committing their hateful behavior.
"It'll be fine, Vera." Egan whispered to her, "From now on I won't let you suffer anymore."
Egan's hand moved down to Vera's, he clasped her hand and whispered a prayer for both of them.
That night Egan was by Vera's side, he slept beside Vera's bed.
Hopefully, tomorrow, when dawn wakes, Vera will wake up. And she will have a good life later.
...
As I said, Eric ordered his subordinates to deal with Vera's bullies. They have received their due punishment, death has welcomed them. Even their carcasses were thrown into the sea as bait for fish. All traces are wiped clean, no one knows about the existence of those guys.
Although the bad guy has suffered a worthy end, the story of the debt between the Enoch family and the creditor has not come to an end. And don't forget the real bad guys haven't learned their lesson yet. Father and son Lani were still at ease, calmly thinking of a way out of the tribulation, they ignored Vera's life and death. Enoch still didn't know that Lani had sold Vera to a creditor. He was still bitter and convinced that Vera had escaped through his negligence. Enoch swore that if he caught Vera again, he would certainly not be lenient with Vera. He will torment Vera to the point where life is not as good as dead. Vera would cry and gnash her teeth and beg to die, and he would gloat and laugh without pity and be content for Vera to end her miserable life. Enoch will freely torture, torture Vera physically and mentally. He didn't want the money anymore, he just needed Vera to become a plaything, a doll to satisfy all his lusts, dirty, disgusting thoughts.
Yes, it can be seen that, after all, Enoch still refused to repent, indeed, he did not shed tears when he did not see the coffin. Enoch still has cruel, cruel ideas to deal with Vera. Perhaps next time Enoch would suffer retribution for his evil deeds. That day is not far away.
For her part, Lani originally did not want to reveal that Vera was taken away by the creditor. She wants to destroy Vera once and for all. Enoch's fascination with Vera made Lani extremely bored. In Lani's eyes and subconscious mind, Vera is a toxic thing that needs to be removed from Lani's life. If she let Enoch know, Lani wasn't sure what Enoch would do to her. Although Enoch loves Lani unconditionally, Lani knows not to be foolish enough to ruin Enoch's business. And letting Vera disappear from Enoch's life indirectly caused an incalculable danger. That's why Lani doesn't want things to be ruined.
Right now, at Mark's house.
Lani had to stand up from her chair, her hands clasped together, across her mouth, her eyes fixed on her father with an expectant expression. She did everything just to show great determination in persuading Enoch to do as she wished. Even now, his throat was dry, but Enoch still had no doubts, then hesitated, and finally made an expression that made it difficult for anyone to guess what he was thinking.
"Father, please listen to me." Lani's voice begged, she was trying so hard to make Enoch understand what she was telling her: "Just this once, hurry up, a late decision could very well lead to bad things. regret."
"Are you sure we need to, Lani?" After a moment of silence, sitting on the sofa, Enoch also spoke. However, he was still uncertain about the plan Lani suggested: "Sell the house and then run away, I think it's not possible."
"It is necessary, Father." Lani emphasized for the nth time, convincing Enoch again: "Think about it, now we are in a state of hanging hair. Without money, we will die. Staying here sooner or later will be destroyed by the owner. life debt. We are not foolish to sell our house to pay our debt. Instead of selling to bring money to others, we should collect it and run away."
"Is it the right thing to do?" Enoch lost his temper again, making Lani angry inside. In a slightly annoyed voice Lani said:
"So what do you want? Pay them back and we'll be at the end of the street?" Lani exclaimed, weaving a tragic scenario: "Oh, Dad, I don't want that. Will I still have the face to go to school when all the students know about our family's plight? It's unbelievable. I imagine when they know I live in a cramped, dirty corner with homeless people. I can't live the world with everyone's insults and laughter."
"Lani doesn't think of distractions." Enoch looked at his daughter in fear: "Everything will work out. So..."
"What is that, father?" Lani yelled, interrupting what Enoch was about to say: "I'm going to sell you to them instead of this house, won't you?"
"Lani." Enoch snapped, what she said sounded horrible: "There's no way that's happening. Don't be ambiguous."
"So what do you want?" Lani shouted again: "We're dying, Dad, stop being greedy."
Tears streamed down Lani's face. Once again the power of crocodile tears helped Lani conquer Enoch. He gave up his fight with his daughter.
"Fine, I'll listen to you." Enoch sighed and said. He still couldn't bear it, he was still too greedy. His thoughts still revolved around wanting to get the money in the bank. Enoch wanted to take it, but he forgot that reality is always cruel.
Lani looked at Enoch's helpless, surrendered look and immediately expressed joy. She rushed to hug her father, thanking him profusely. Enoch also returned her daughter's hug. He felt guilty, but he didn't know that Lani was smiling. With a triumphant smile, she was glad that her plan worked out the way she wanted it to.
