Desperate Lovers

“I'll finish soon. Let me handle your wound right after.”

Julia went back and picked up cosmetic cotton.

As soon as she finished, she started treating Angela’s cuts with the medicine kit.

“There might be a broken skin at my back. Please clean up for me. Thanks.”

Angela took off the jacket after Julia finished with her face. Then she turned her back to Julia in underwear.

For the first time, Julia showed her sympathy towards someone. Seeing all these overlapped wounds on her back, Julia asked, “Did you get these from prison?”

Angela hummed. She didn’t want to recall the nightmares again.

“What about the new one?”

Julia tried as gently as she could to deal with the wounds. But Angela still winced with pain.

Out of Julia expectation, she didn’t groan, or asked for a lesser treatment. She seemed to get used to it already.

Angela replied with a dull look, “It was an accident.”

Julia wanted to challenge her, but she quickly changed the topic, “It’s not worthy for you to work here. You get a really low pay with double work, and the manager always makes trouble for you.”

Angela didn’t answer. She stroked the injured knee and puckered her lips.

“Everyone made fun of you when you were kneeling that nigh, the same as when Lorenzo slapped you today.”

Julia whispered, “You can get a better job anywhere. Why do you hang around here and let others hurt your dignity?"

“Just assume that I’m addicted to the debauchery here.”

With the wound taken care of, Angela put on her uniform jacket, lifted up her pant leg, and rubbed ointment into the large, creepy bruise.

Julia packed the medicine kit with her pinched mouth, “Don’t lie to me if you don’t want to talk about it.

I won’t meddle in your affairs anymore. Leave it to someone else!”
