Desperate Lovers

The words fell as the elevator clinked, and she entered with a seductive smile on her lips.

Angela looked at the thermos in her hand, the corners of her mouth tightened, then she walked towards the elevator with heavy steps.

The Smith siblings were shit for her to avoid, while James was the vicious dog that nearly killed her several times. She hated him and wanted to kill him, but she was forced to surrender under his sharp claws to avoid being torn to pieces.

There were many people at the hospital. There was an old man who lost his left arm and had a fake calf with a gully face. When he saw Angela, his eyes lit up, then he patted the young man beside him who was also disabled, and pointed in the direction of Angela.

Another pair of eyes lit up.

The two supported each other and walked strangely to Angela and stopped her.

As soon as Angela looked up, she saw two unfamiliar faces. One was about sixty or seventy years old with a gully face, and the other was about thirty or forty years old with fine lines at the corners of his eyes and tanned skin.

The two men were of different ages, but both were disabled. Their clothes had been washed white, although they were neat, and they wore black, rare, and cheap cotton shoes on their feet.

The way they dressed gave people a feeling that they were begging or they are going to say, “Girl, I just need a few bucks for the travel expenses. Can you lend me a little?”

The liars. Angela looked at the two men again and was pretty sure she didn’t know them, “May I help you?”

PUFF! The two men didn’t say a word, and after glancing at each other, they simply fell to their knees.

The commotion was so loud that many people around looked over with strange eyes.

Angela frowned and didn’t help them up, nor did she say anything. She just looked at them with a light expression.

“Don’t get me wrong!” Seeing this, the middle-aged man waved his hand at her twice and said in broken Mandarin,

“We are not beggars or liars. We are the peasant-workers that you helped. We just want to say thank you to you!”

The old man, meanwhile, wiped tears from his eyes and spoke a local language that Angela could not understand.

“I have not helped any peasant-worker. You have got the wrong person.”
