I didn't even think about it. I rolled down directly from the hillside, and fell to the road.
"Si-pa." I heard a sharp braking sound.
I tried my best to raise my head and looked at the car parked in front of me with pleading eyes.
Save me, no matter who you were, please save me.
"Hey, miss, what's wrong with you?"
The car door opened. It was a very cool woman. She wore a black leather dress with heavy makeup. She looked like a bad girl.
I opened my mouth and let out a hoarse sound.
She frowned and squatted down to help me up. After seeing the scars on my body and face, she asked me, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so badly injured?"
I had no way to answer her. I could only open my mouth, bit her clothes, and kept tearing it.
I didn't know if she understood me.
But she didn't leave me alone. She helped me into the car. I was put in the back seat, and I lay feebly on the seat.
"You're lucky to meet me today. I'll be a good girl and bring you back."
Cornelia said to herself.
I looked at Cornelia gratefully and curled up tiredly. "What's your name? Did you encounter something bad? What's wrong with your face? How come there are so many knife wounds? Also, are you mute? What's wrong with the scars on your body? Why did you roll down from the hillside? Did someone hurt you?"
Cornelia asked me a lot of questions, but I had no way to answer her. My head was dizzy, maybe it was because I had been exposed in the rain for too long last night.
"Don't be afraid. You are safe now. Although I am not a good person, I will save you because you're so poor."
Thank you...
I looked at the her back silently and finally fainted in her car.
"Mommy... Mommy..."
Ashe, don't leave.
"Ashley..."
Edward... don't go, don't leave me.
"Ashley."
Mom and dad... were you going to abandon me too?
No... that woman was fake. Don't believe her...
"Are you awake?" I opened my eyes in horror and heard a light and relieved voice.
I twisted my neck and saw Cornelia's delicate and heroic face. She seemed to like black very much. She was wearing a black shirt and a pair of black pants. She looked so charming.
"Don't move. Your injuries are very serious. Your fever has just gone and your wounds haven't scabbed yet. You need to recover for a few days."
Seeing that I was struggling to get up, Cornelia immediately reached out and pressed me on the shoulder.
I looked at her, blinked my eyes to thank her.
"Are you thanking me?" Cornelia seemed to understand what I meant and chuckled.
I nodded and opened my mouth, "Ah..."
When I heard my sound, I felt depressed.
I couldn't speak. How could I ask Cornelia to send me back to Beijing? How could I find Edward?
Yu City was far away from Beijing.
Because it was in the northwest area, which was very remote.
William was so scheming that he took me to such a far place. I didn't know how he did it.
"Don't worry and stay at my house for the time being. I'm going to work now. You just lie on the bed and don't move around. Otherwise, your wound won't recover. Do you understand?"
Said Cornelia as she touched her curly hair.
I nodded, watched her leave, and then closed my eyes to sleep. "Nelson, stop."
"My babe, you're strange today. You were not like this before."
"B*stard, be gentle... Oh..."
I was awakened by strange and ambiguous voices.
I opened my eyes in confusion and looked at the living room not far away.
Because the door was open, I could see two figures hugging each other on the floor.
"When I was 22 years old, I met a man, an unusually elegant and gentle man. He treated me very well. He was ten years older than me, and I deeply fell in love with him. My adopted mother once told me not to fall in love with a man as a prostitute. But I still fell in love with him and gave him all my money. Later, he left. I looked for him for a long time. A year later, I found him. I was very happy and greeted him. But he said that he didn't know me with disgust. I was unwilling to leave so I investigated him. Then I found that he already had wife and child. He had been with me because I was stupid and he could use my money. After all, I could satisfy him on bed and he didn't have to pay me."
When Cornelia said this, there was hatred in her eyes.
I looked at her face and wanted to comfort her, but I couldn't.
"He didn't know that I had given birth to his son. I was unwilling to give up and took the child to find him. In fact, I just wanted to ask why he treated me like this. However, his wife appeared, pulled my hair, cursed me as a mistress, and kicked me. People on the street all looked at me with disdain. In the end, my son was accidentally hit by them, and no one cared about us. It was Nelson who saved us, and my son died. Nelson took me back here, I continued to do my previous job and forgot my painful memory."
Cornelia raised her head and said frivolously, "Nelson is the local villain here. He is the gang leader. I am now his woman, but just woman. We have been together for five years. He has a wife and a child. Do you look down on me a little bit?"
I shook my head and felt that it was not her fault.
"I want to live, I must live."
Cornelia looked at me and said blandly.
"You too. I saw the will to survive in your eyes, so I saved you. I don't know why you become like this, but I know that you want to live very much."
Hearing what Cornelia said, my eyes were filled with tears.
She was right. I wanted to live.
"You can't speak, and your hands are disabled. I don't know your name. How about calling you Summer? I like summer the most, and I call you Summer. What do you think?"
I nodded and did not refuse.
Cornelia told me a lot of things. She said that she was the prostitute in the entertainment street. She was famous and many people wanted to have sex with her. But all she wanted was to live, she didn't want to love anyone. She also told me that Nelson actually liked her body. Between them, it was just deals of money.
I ask her with my eyes if she would fall in love with Nelson. She was very determined and told me that she would never fall in love with a man in the rest of her life. She would only make use of a man.
She was a very strong woman. I liked her character very much, because she dared to love and hate, she was better than me.
When I was recovering, she took care of me very carefully.
In addition to going to work every day, she would feed me something to eat as soon as she came back.
I became much better. I could even get out of bed and walk around.
However, I could not help Cornelia do anything. My hand could move gradually, but I couldn't hold anything.
Cornelia told me to take it easy and it would all blow over.
I also believed that it would all blow over.
