Love Together, Be With You Never

Chapter 9 Red Eye Devil

The nurse was stunned when she saw Marlon. Her tone took a complete turn and said, “Sir, which

medical specialist do you need?”

She didn’t even care that he had jumped the queue.

“I want to pay for this lady’s medical bills!” Marlon said calmly.

The nurse’s eyes opened widely and stared at me in disbelief. I handed the money in my hand to the

nurse, “I don’t know him. I’ll pay for my own medical bills!”

“Why act? Aren’t you willing to do anything for money? Aren’t you able to accept any kind of man?”

Marlon looked at me with intense disdain. As soon as he said those, the people in the queue

immediately looked at me with contempt.

I was engulfed in anger and humiliation. I had never expected that I would hear such hurtful words from

the person whom I deeply loved for four years. He even said it publicly to humiliate me.

Never had I expected.

I clenched my fists and lifted my head while I smiled, “Mr. Redford, what I do and who I accept has

nothing to do with you. Just take good care of your adorable and pretty fiancee!’

“Rachel!” Marlon pinched my chin and glared at me with his cold eyes.

My chin was so painful that it felt like it was about to shatter but I continued to smile and even

exaggerated my smile while looking back into his chilling eyes, “Mr. Redford, I am Alicia’s sister and

you are Alicia’s fiance. That means that you are my future brother-in-law. Then, brother-in-law, what do

my affairs have anything to do with you?” As I said, I tried to remove his fingers one by one but no

matter how much strength I used, I couldn’t remove a finger.

Suddenly, Marlon released me and scoffed sarcastically, “You are right. Even if you spread your legs to

serve a customer here, that has nothing to do with me!” After he said, he threw the money in his hands

at me and turned to leave.

Red-colored hundred yuan bills scattered onto my face and the people in the queue started to clamor

over each other to snatch the bills. It became a rowdy commotion.

I stood among the scuffle and looked at Marlon walking away and felt a certain pain as if my heart was

sliced by a blunt and rusty knife.

The pain was intense.

Marlon disappeared from view and I lowered my head to laugh like a fool. But I didn’t have the time to

feel the pain. I still had to take care of Davidson.

I took a deep breath and suppressed my emotions. I paid the money and took the receipt, collected the

medicine, and returned to the treatment room. I didn’t notice that when I was paying for the bill, Alicia

was standing at one corner and glared angrily at me.

“Billie, why are you here?” As soon as I walked into the treatment room, I saw Billie carrying Davidson.

found you! I just heard that they bullied you again. Did they do anything to you?” Billie was worried and

wanted to check on me.

“I’m fine, they can’t do anything to me!” I smiled and placed my hands behind my back.

Billie sighed, “I am to be blamed for not taking good care of Davidson!”

“Billie, don’t say that. Davidson and I can’t thank you enough!” I really couldn’t imagine going through

these years without Billie’s help.

“Ms. Cornell, leave these to me. I took two days’ leave and I’ll take Davidson back to my place. Just

focus on doing your things!” Billie said.

I looked at Billie and was so touched that I didn’t know what to say. Although Billie was not my relative,

she was closer than kin and always considered for me. I was wondering what could I do. Now I was

jobless and I only had six hundred yuan. Davidson was sick we couldn’t live on the streets. A person

could be forced to death due to the lack of money.

“Ms. Cornell, go and do what you need to. I will take good care of Davidson!” Billie said.

Davidson held onto my hand and mustered a smile at me. He was also trying to comfort me and assure

me. But his pale face made my entire body ache. I kissed Davidson and gave the last six hundred yuan

I had to Billie. Billie refused it but I forced her to accept it before I left.

Davidson was worried about me. How could I bear to let them worry for me? That was why I absolutely

must find a job today. No matter what kind of job.

But I tried the entire day and couldn’t find a job. I squatted down in exhaustion. I felt like I was covered

in the darkness of the night and my body and mind wanted to curl up in desperation.

Just a job. I didn’t ask for anything other than a job. Was that too much to ask?

Suddenly, a neon light lit up in front of me: Hiring.

I suddenly wanted to laugh. Wasn’t this the nightclub that I refused to work at last night? How did I go a

big round and then back to here? I lifted my head to look into the dark night sky. I really wanted to see if

there was God. But so what if there was and so what if there wasn’t? It would not change my

desperation for a job.

I stood up, straightened my clothes, and walked calmly into the nightclub.

When I saw Davidson’s pale face, I understood the importance of money to me and Davidson. Pride

and dignity were useless.

“Lady, I knew that you’ll be back!” Cheryl was not surprised to see me. I’m thinking that she must be

used to seeing the desperation of poverty.

“I won’t prostitute myself!” I insisted. I can forgo my dignity but I won’t sell my body.

“No problem!” Cheryl answered immediately while the other hostesses standing behind her scoffed at

me.

“Didn’t she say that she won’t come?”

“Yeah, yesterday she was so arrogant. How quickly she changed!”

“She should at least persist with her act for a few days!” The hostesses said aloud sarcastically. I

remained silent. Who could you blame when reality bites down hard?

“I want to kill you, Kieran, I want to kill you!” Suddenly a woman ran out with a butcher’s knife. The

sudden commotion scared all the hostesses to run in all directions. I was stunned and remained in

place.

“Where is Kieran, I want to kill him!” The woman grabbed and yelled at me.

At this point, I saw that the left side of the woman’s face was covered with pot marks. It appeared that

something had corroded her face and that was the reason for her to rage and it made her look devilish.

I was so scared that my mind was blank. Luckily two bodyguards in black business suits appeared and

dragged the woman out. Even if I couldn’t see the woman in the dark of the night, I can still hear her

shout feverishly, “I want to kill you, Kieran!”

Suddenly it started to rain heavily accompanied by thunder and lightning.

The frightened hostesses calmed down and started to chat among themselves, “Didn’t the boyfriend of

that crazy woman personally introduced her to Mr. Charles some time ago?”

“That’s her, that’s her. To think that she fooled around with Mr. Charles and ended up disfigured. That’s

rather pitiful!”

“Yeah, she’s pitiful but it was a joke that she thought that she could kill Mr. Charles.”

“Have you said enough?” Cheryl glared sternly at them and all of the hostesses shut up immediately.

I wondered about what kind of a person this Mr. Kieran Charles was. How could he be so cruel?

Kaboom!

Suddenly the lightning flashed and lit up the dark night followed by a loud clap of thunder. I instinctively

looked up and saw a man with bloodshot eyes getting out of a stretched Rolls Royce. He walked over

amidst the thunder and lightning, just as a devil would.
