Chapter 34 Self Defense Tools


    Elizabeth had looked it up on the intest night. However, there were too many types of


    self-defense tools to choose from. Also, she did not know whether those tools would work.


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    Moreover, she was so poor now that she did not want to waste her money.


    Thus, if Jessica knew anything about those tools, she could just share them with Elizabeth.


    Meanwhile, Jessica was enjoying the dishes made by Cody. Since Pearl’s condition had been


    pretty serious recently, Jessica could not leave the hospital. Hence, she had been eating takeout


    for several months now. In fact, she had been eating so much takeout that she would puke if she


    had another such meal.


    She looked very haggard. After working in Night City until four o’clock at night, she still had


    to go to the hospital to change shifts with the caregiver at seven o’clock. Therefore, she slept very


    little, and her mental state was not very good these days.


    Jessica ate a piece of pork and smiled.


    “Why are you suddenly thinking of buying self-defense tools? Did anyone bully you?”


    Jessica was a clever woman. Being someone who had lots of life experiences, she caught on


    fast enough.


    Hearing her question, Elizabeth was a little nervous. If she told her that Matthew had


    forcefully kissed herst night and almost slept with her, Jessica would definitely tell her that it


    was a good thing and that she did not need to guard against him.


    Elizabeth took a sip of water, trying to suppress the awkwardness she was feeling.


    “It’s just that I’m going to have a part-time job at night these days. So, I’m afraid of meeting


    bad people. I’ll feel a little bit more secure if I have a self-defense tool with me.”


    Jessica nodded slightly. “You’re right. After I finish eating, I’ll bring you to a store where you


    can shop for what you need. Everything in that store is quite practical.”


    Elizabeth was nning to buy those tools on the inte. However, after Jessica said that


    there was a physical store, Elizabeth felt that it was even better, as the quality would be more


    guaranteed.


    After Jessica finished eating, they left the four children to Cody. Elizabeth was not worried


    since Arthur and Antony were there.


    Those two boys were very obedient and would take good care of Abby and Pearl.


    After that, the two went to the store, which was not far from the pediatric hospital. It only


    took over ten minutes to walk there.


    Jessica knew about Elizabeth’s situation. She knew that Elizabeth’s heart ached every time


    she drove. Therefore, Jessica did not propose that they took the car.


    The two walked on the street in the winter as the warm sunlight shone upon them.


    Jessica’s hand was hooked around Elizabeth’s arm. She took a deep breath and smiled.


    “It’s been a long time since I stood under the sun. I really hope Pearl can get better soon.


    When that happens, I think my life will start to have hope.”


    After experiencing such a hardship, Jessica felt that possibly nothing else could ever bring


    her down anymore.


    Hearing that, Elizabeth rubbed Jessica’s armpassionately. “It’s all my fault for being too


    poor. I couldn’t help you at all.”


    “It’s even more difficult for you. You have to raise three children. It’s already difficult enough


    for me just to raise one. It’s much worse for you. Lizzy, it’s enough to have you by my side. Do


    understand?” asked Jessica as she touched Elizabeth’s face lightly.


    you


    Nothing was better than having a close friend by one’s side. Having a shoulder to cry on and


    someone to share one’s happiness with were the best things in life.


    Jessica and Elizabeth looked at each other and smiled. It seemed as if they had been


    apanying each other all these years, and it felt so good to have such apanion.


    They walked and chatted all the way to the store. Soon, they arrived at the store, which was


    a small jewelry store.


    Elizabeth usually did not have time to go shopping, so she did not know that these small


    stores sold self defense tools as well.


    After the two entered the store, Jessica brought her a few bottles of pepper spray. Elizabeth


    felt that those were so big that she could only put them in her bag. However, she could not carry


    her bag all the time when she cleaned Matthew’s house.


    Thus, she asked the staff, “Do you have smaller ones here?”


    The staff quickly took out a beautiful ring that was beset with a red, heart-shaped stone. It


    was supposed to be worn on the index finger.


    “Miss, this is thetest version. It’s small, easy to carry, and looks good as an essory.”


    The staff pressed the stone as she spoke. Instantly, a thin and long needle stretched out from


    the front of the stone.


    “This needle has been soaked in anesthesia. Your opponent will be paralyzed for about five minutes


    after being stabbed by it. It’s a life-saving tool for girls.”
