Chapter 17 Fighting in the Street
Last night she searched online, but there were too many types and she didn't know if they were effective. Besides, she's so broke now, she doesn't want to waste money. If Darcy Osborne knows about these things, she can share some information with her.
Darcy Osborne was enjoying the food Aunt Mary made. She had been eating takeout for months. Recently, Estelle's condition has worsened, so she can't leave the hospital. She has been eating takeout every day and it's making her sick.
She looks worn-out. She has to work in the nighclub until 4 am, and then she has to go to the hospital at 7 am to change shifts as a nurse. She doesn't get much sleep, so her mental state is not good.
Darcy Osborne ate a piece of braised pork and smiled.
"Why did you suddenly think of buying these items? Did someone bully you?"
Darcy Osborne is a sharp and intelligent woman who has been through a lot.
Eula Lowe seemed a bit nervous. If she told her that Judson Nash forced a kiss on her last night and almost raped her, she would probably just say, "That's great, no need for protection."
She took a sip of water to suppress the embarrassment in her heart.
"I recently took on a part-time job at night, so I'm afraid of encountering bad people. Carrying them with me also makes me feel safe."
Darcy Osborne nodded slightly, "That makes sense. After I finish eating, I'll take you to buy them. I know a store where they have practical items."
Eula Lowe originally planned to shop online, but hearing her say there's a physical store is even better because the quality will be guaranteed.
After eating, the two of them left the four children under Aunt Mary's care. Dewitt and Rodolfo were there, so Eula Lowe felt relieved. Those two kids are responsible and will take care of Angie and Estelle.
They walked to the store, which wasn't far from the children's hospital, just a ten-minute walk.
Darcy Osborne also knew about Eula Lowe's situation and knew that her heart would be bleeding when driving, so she didn't take her car out.
They walked on the streets of winter, and the sun shone on them, making them feel warm.
Darcy Osborne held Eula Lowe's arm. She took a deep breath of the scent of the sunlight, a bittersweet feeling.
Darcy hasn't seen the sunlight for a long time. She really hoped Estelle can recover soon, then she would feel like there's hope in her life as well.
Having experienced such great turmoil, she felt that there was nothing that could bring her down.
Eula Lowe pitifully rubbed against her.
"It's all because I'm too poor. I can't help you either."
Darcy Osborne reached out and touched her small face, "You have to take care of three children. I already find it difficult with just one, not to mention you. Eula, I’m so happy to be friends with you, you know?"
Having a close friend by her side, being able to cry with her when she's sad, and share happiness with her when she's happy, that is better than anything.
The two of them exchanged a smile, as if they had been companions by each other's side for all these years, it felt really good.
As they chatted, they quickly arrived at the shop, which was a small jewelry store.
Eula Lowe usually didn't have time to go shopping, so she didn't even know that such small shops also sold self-defense tools.
The two entered the small store, and Darcy Osborne grabbed a few bottles of chili spray for her. Eula Lowe felt that they were too big, so she could only put them in her bag, but she couldn't carry a bag with her when she was cleaning at Judson Nash's house.
So she asked the shopkeeper, "Do you have anything smaller for self-defense?"
The shopkeeper quickly brought out a ring, worn on the index finger, with a red heart-shaped stone, very beautiful.
"Miss, this is the latest model, compact, easy to carry, and also works as a piece of jewelry."
As she spoke, she pressed on the heart, and a thin and long needle came out from the front.
"This needle is soaked in anesthetic, after being stabbed, the other person will be paralyzed for about five minutes, it's a life-saving effect for girls."
Eula Lowe's eyes brightened, thinking that this was the best one for her.
If she had this last night and stabbed Judson Nash's neck with it, he wouldn't be able to move, then she can escape from that man.
"I want this, but how long does it last?"
It can't be that it can only be used once, right? That wouldn't work, and it's not cheap when looking at the price as well.
The shopkeeper explained, "We have spare anesthetic here. If the anesthetic in the ring runs out, you can add some yourself. It can be used repeatedly for three hundred times."
Eula Lowe bought two of them, one costing over 500 dollars. Although it hurt a bit, it was life-saving for single woman like her.
She handed the other box to Darcy Osborne, "You should wear one too, while working at nightclubs, it can protect you when you are in danger."
Places like the nightclub are full of mixed crowds, she had stayed there before, so she was quite worried about Darcy Osborne working there.
Originally, she had thought about going back to her old job, but when she thought about the three children at home, she decided not to do that.
What would happen to them if something happened to her?
Darcy Osborne said "Thank you!"
Eula Lowe walked out of the small shop with her arm around her. "You don’t need to say that. We are best friends."
Darcy Osborne suddenly saw her husband and that woman walking ahead. She gritted her teeth and rushed towards them.
Grabbing the man's hair, she cursed, "You damn coward! You didn't care about our daughter's illness? When asked to do a marrow match, you complained about the pain."
Darcy Osborne was furious, and slapped him hard across the face.
Tony Hudson was dizzy from the blow, and the woman next to him screamed, "She hit him! She hit him!"
A crowd quickly gathered, and when Tony Hudson realized what was happening, he started fighting back. He grabbed Darcy Osborne's hair and pulled hard.
"You little bitch, how dare you hit me? I'll kill you!"
Eula Lowe was initially frightened, but when she saw them fighting Darcy Osborne, she took off her high heels and ran over.
"Don't hit her!"
Then, Eula Lowe's high heels smashed the heads of the two and blood started flowing, which scared the people around, who quickly called the police.
When the police arrived, they saw two beautiful women holding down a man and fighting, while the woman next to him was crying and shouting, "She killed him!"
The police separated them, and Eula Lowe had blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, with her hair all messed up from being pulled. Darcy Osborne had a swollen face on one side, and she tugged at her clothes, wanting to kick a few more times.
The police stopped her, saying, "Enough, come with us to the police station."
The man on the ground had a broken head, torn clothes, and scratched face. He pointed at the two crazy women while crying, "Officer, these two crazy women beat me and my girlfriend like this. I want to sue them and have them locked up."
Only now did Eula Lowe and Darcy Osborne start to regain their senses, realizing that they had fought quite intensely. However, both of them ended up at the police station, so what about their four children?
Darcy Osborne stood in front of Eula Lowe and said to the police, "Officer, just take me away. It has nothing to do with her."
The mistress next to Tony Hudson pointed at Eula Lowe and said, "Officer, it was her who broke our heads. You must arrest her."
The police coldly said, "Stop! Both of you will come with us. Let's take them to the hospital first for treatment and then interrogate them."
...
In the office of the President of The Nash Group, Myles Lester pushed the door open and hurriedly walked to the desk.
"Judson Nash, look at this video. Miss Lowe is fighting with someone."
