Elizabeth slowly turned around and looked at Evelyn with a silent smile.
Elizabeth's face was pale and bruised, and her eyes were terribly swollen. Seeing this, Evelyn opened her mouth and felt so painful in heart, as if her heart was grabbed by someone.
Elizabeth... cried alone after she came back, didn't she?
That was right. Even a man couldn't be able to bear such a scene, let alone Elizabeth who had never been hurt maliciously since she was a child.
Looking at Elizabeth's weak face and thinking of the mess downstairs... Evelyn knew that she must be very helpless and desperate so she did that!
Her eyes blurred with tears in an instant, and her throat tightened. She had never hated someone so much. She only wanted to kill the one who posted those photos and videos and wanted to kill Genevieve who incited her classmates to attack Elizabeth and insulted Elizabeth in an overbearing manner.
She... also hated herself. If she could be stronger and more capable, and if she could be better at fighting, Elizabeth would not be bullied like that and would not be so sad.
"Elizabeth..."
Before she could say sorry, Elizabeth said softly, "Evelyn, you didn't get into trouble, did you?"
Hearing her simple words, Evelyn could no longer restrain herself and burst into tears in an instant.
At this time, Elizabeth was the most grieved and the most heartbroken one, but the one she cared about first was Evelyn...
"I'm fine!" Evelyn shook her head hurriedly, "They didn't dare to do anything to me. See, I can run, jump and talk to you! I'm all right. Don't worry."
Elizabeth smiled, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me... that you..."
Before she could finish her words, Evelyn rushed up and hugged her, "Don't say that... I should say sorry to you. I didn't protect you well..."
Elizabeth shook her head gently, and she didn't say anything else.
After a long while, Evelyn calmed down a little, and she found that Elizabeth was still wearing the clothes that had been dirtied. She stood up and said to Elizabeth, "Get up and change your clothes." The clothes were so fishy...
"No." Elizabeth said blandly and looked unconcerned, "I have no strength."
Hearing this, Evelyn's heart skipped a beat and she understood what Elizabeth meant.
After thinking about it, she said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have any strength. I'm here, aren't I? I'll change it for you."
Seeing that Elizabeth didn't speak, Evelyn didn't intend to give up. She turned around and searched in the room. In the end, she took out a set of clothes casually and forced Elizabeth to change her clothes.
"Let's go to the bathroom when you want to get up." Elizabeth's hair was still dirty and messy, and there was a faint fishy smell on her body. However, it was good enough for her to change Elizabeth's clothes. She couldn't force Elizabeth to do more.
"Alas!" Evelyn sighed. Glancing at the potion bottle on the bedside table, she said softly, "I'll apply the potion to you first."
However, she really couldn't tell Evelyn about her troubles and embarrassment, even if Evelyn was her best friend. She didn't have the courage to say that, because she was afraid that she would have a nervous breakdown once she said it.
"Elizabeth..." Looking at Elizabeth's increasingly pale face, Evelyn sighed, "Elizabeth, I know that you feel bad now, but I have to say that since you have vented your anger, you should stop tormenting yourself. We have to cheer up. Shouldn't we have to find a way to solve the problem in the school?"
Elizabeth shook her head, "Whatever."
She didn't care about it anymore, really.
In the past, she really valued her study and devoted herself to getting the diploma. Even if she had been bullied like that in school, she had never thought of giving up.
However, Zena came here, and maybe she would break up with James soon... At this time, she really understood that compared with James, her study and diploma were just insignificant and were not worth mentioning.
However, it was too late for her to understand this. Everything had happened. Even if she wanted to turn the table, there was nothing she could do about it.
"What do you mean?" Evelyn got anxious, "You can't think like this! Think about all your efforts over the years. It won't be long before you can get the diploma. How can you give up now?"
Elizabeth smiled sorrowfully, "Evelyn, you don't understand."
"You..." Evelyn frowned. She wanted to swear Elizabeth to let her stay sensible. But she couldn't say anything to blame Elizabeth when she saw her desperate face.
"Don't say that I don't understand. It's because I know you that I had to say this. We must get our diplomas no matter what. You can't give up so easily." "Elizabeth, let's go to find your husband."
