Chapter 1113
Her eyshes fluttered down, and she tried dialing the number again, only to find out she was blocked
this time.
With no other choice, she dialed Carol''s number.
Upon hearing her voice, Carol was shocked.
"Text me your address, I''ll be right there!"
Maja handed the phone back to the young girl, her voice husky, "Thanks, sweetheart."
The girl had overheard the male voice on the other end and noticing Maja''s pregnant belly, she
"Was that your husband just now? You''re pregnant and he''s behaving like that! He''s such a jerk. You
should divorce him once you''re back. Don''t marry such a man."
A bitter smile spread across Maja''s face. She had already divorced him. He was her ex-husband.
She didn''t say anything and just listened as the girl''s uncle began to hurry them along.
"Let''s go, or those debt collectors will reallye to find us."
The girl nced at Maja, patting her shoulder reassuringly.
"You should definitely get a divorce when you''re back. An unreliable man can ruin a whole family, just
like my father. He gambled away everything and even had a mistress, and now the debt collectors are
at our door. They drove my mother to suicide, and he ran away with all the money, leaving us behind.
You''re really pretty. Don''t waste your time on such man. They''re only good for the good times, not the
hard ones."
Maja was surprised by the wisdom in the young girl''s words, and offered her a small smile.
"Right, I''ll remember that. And you too, focus on your career when you grow up."
The girl nodded vigorously.
The middle-aged man watched their interaction, a pang of sadness in his heart. He quickly urged them
to leave.
"Let''s go, if we don''t, those people might reallye."
The girl nodded, but couldn''t bear to see Maja sitting there alone.
"Don''t wander off, just wait here for your family."
Maja nodded. If she had her phone, she would have transferred some money to the girl, having
overheard their conversation and knowing they were in need.
"I owe you one. Give me your number, in case I need to reach out."
The girl scribbled her number on a piece of paper and handed it to Maja.
"If nobodyes to pick you up, you can call me. I''ll make sure you get home safe."
The middle-aged man saw the girl making promises she couldn''t keep and lightly rapped her on the
head, apologizing to Maja.
"I''m sorry, she doesn''t know what she''s talking about. We''re also in a tough spot right now. Her family

owes a lot of money to some loan sharks. Her mother was driven to suicide and now she''s all that''s left.
Her parents were in the middle of a divorce, but her father ran off with all the money her mother had
saved, which wasn''t his to begin with. Her mother felt guilty and took her own life. Their house was
foreclosed, so we''re barely getting by. I''m sorry, but it''s best if you don''t call us."
Then the man took the girl by the arm and led her away.
But they''d barely made it a few yards when several cars pulled up beside them, and a group of men
wielding baseball bats emerged.
The man''s pupils dted, and he quickly pulled the girl behind him.
These were the debt collectors, and they had caught up with them.
A shadow crossed the girl''s face, and she stepped out from behind the man.
"You should go first, uncle."
The debt collectors erupted inughter, grabbing the girl.
"Your father ran off with our money, so you''re going to work it off for him. But even if we sold you ten
times, it wouldn''t be enough to cover his debt. Better get used to pleasing customers, or we''ll have no
problem disposing of you."
The man tried to stop them, but a baseball bat came crashing down on his head.
Blood spurted from his wound, and he swayed on his feet.
"Uncle!"
The girl screamed, trying to rush to his side, but her arm was held tightly. She stomped on one of the
men''s feet, only to be pped to the ground.
Ignoring the pain in her cheek, she crawled over to the man.
"Uncle, are you okay? I''m sorry."
If they had just run awayst night, none of this would have happened.
