Chapter 224 Who Was So Evil


    Nelson pulled himself together without saying a single word. He did not once look at the girl he was


    carrying in his arms.


    Linda thought about how destiny yed a magical role in bringing two people together.


    A perfect way to begin a new rtionship! In most cases.


    Linda had a good feeling about Nelson and Lily. It was the way they affectionately looked at each other.


    "Lily, do you live in the dormitory?" inquired Linda. "We could drop you back to school on our way


    back." Linda smiled as she asked Lily.


    "That won''t be necessary My Lady, " replied Lily. "The dormitory is closed during winter break. So I''m


    living in another locality temporarily." Lily smiled.


    "Alright! In that case, we will drop you at your temporary locality."


    Once they got into the car, Nelson followed the directions Lily gave him.


    It was a quick thirty minutes drive.


    It so turned out that Lily was living in a slum area. It was tiny and packed. The house looked shabby


    from the outside.


    When she saw where Lily was living, Linda remembered her childhood. It was not one of the best


    ces for a single young girl. She did not say anything. On the other hand, Nelson was shocked. He


    could not help but ask, "Miss Jiang, do you live here?"


    Once Lily saw the look on Nelson''s face, she giggled and said "It''s falling apart, right? Ha-ha. Well,


    what choice do I have? I do not have a family anymore except for a few distant rtives who don''t


    seem to care. I''m only a student. I can afford this cheap ce. It costs a few hundred to live here.


    Besides, its only during my winter break."


    Lily gave Nelson the brightest smile. But Linda could see that beneath those beautiful eyes there was


    sadness.


    After exchanging goodbyes, Lily picked up her backpack and began to walk away.


    Linda called out, "Lily, what''s your mobile number? I have a good feeling we will be good friends." Linda


    spoke from the car.


    The feeling came out of nowhere. Given the simrities between the two women, Linda felt they would


    get along, especially since Lily was a humble girl with a good character.


    Lily waved to Linda''s surprise. "You are Lady Nn from the Nn n. I''m just an ordinary student.


    We will probably not even cross paths again."


    "Why do you think so?" asked Linda in return. "I lived in a ce exactly like this in my childhood, and I


    because he''s not familiar with our way of living, right?"


    Linda made a final attempt to befriend Lily.


    Nelson''s expressions and doubts must have upset Lily''s feelings.


    Lily had never lived afortable life. She was in school, with no family to fall back on. She had


    learned how to survive. Linda immediately knew that someone like Lily would do very well for herself.


    Linda had just discovered that Lily had lost her parents at a very young age. It would be normal for


    such a child to develop many psychological issues such as carelessness or being extroverted. The


    child might even develop an inferiorityplex and feel hurt by peoples remarks, however


    unintentional.


    Thus, it would seem very normal for a girl like Lily to allow her wounds to heal in a safe ce, like her


    home.


    Lily was definitely on this path.

    Nelson had indeed made an honest mistake. He had never been to a slum because as far as he was


    concerned, an international metropolis like SH City only had well-developed residential and business


    areas. Nelson knew right away that he had been wrong. But, he had never seen this part of the city and


    it had taken him by surprise. He had imagined that a cosmopolitan city like SH


    Would have only had brightly lit skyscrapers and developed CBDs.


    To him, slums existed outside normal city limits, where the rich could not see them.


    Nelson had lost his parents at a young age as well. However, he did not have to survive on his own as


    he had been adopted by Lord Nn and had been raised as the Lord''s grandchild. Nelson had grown


    up in better circumstances.


    Lord Nn had sent Nelson to America for higher education. Interested in Economics, Nelson had


    studied the subject for his degree program.


    Nelson had been living an ideal life.


    Seeing the slums and the hard times people go through, made him feel very awkward.


    He apologized, "I''m deeply sorry Miss Jiang, I honestly did not mean what I said." The awkward feeling


    remained with Nelson and he stumbled through his apology.


    He had never felt such a powerful vibe and connection with anyone before this. He thought of Lily to be


    an exception.


    He remembered how he had blushed and how his heart had skipped a beat when he carried her in his


    arms. Such was the effect she had on him. He felt utterly confused.


    "Oh please do not apologize. It''s not your fault."


    Lily turned around with a mischievous smile. Her beautiful long hair seemed to dance in the wind.


    Nelson watched as Lily''s petite frame disappeared into the darkness. The alley was long and there


    wasn''t a streetlight anywhere. He felt a rush of mixed emotions.


    "I should not have said that, My Lady." Nelson said with regret.


    "You don''t have to me yourself, Nelson. Lily has had a rather difficult childhood with nobody to care


    for her. It is only natural for her to be more sensitive than the rest of us. Now we know where she lives,


    don''t we." Linda smiled. We''ll always have chance to meet her."


    Linda gave Nelson a gentle pat on his shoulder tofort him. And then instructed him to drive home.


    Linda now knew why Lily felt it was not right to share her number. She also hoped that someday they


    would meet again.


    But even before they could exit the alley, they heard Lily screaming. "Help me! Get off me!"


    Linda looked back, and before she could react, Nelson had jumped out of the car. He began sprinting in


    Lily''s direction.


    In her condition, she knew it would not be a good idea to run in a dark alley. So she followed Nelson


    slowly.


    "What happened?" "What was all the screaming about?"


    Nelson saw that three men had surrounded Lily in the corner of the dark alley.


    He heard one of the men say, "Behave yourself, kitten. You better not try one of your tricks on us."


    "Who are you?" "Who is behind this?"


    "That doesn''t make any difference."


    "Go away! Just go away!"


    "Who are you?" Nelson could no longer hold back his anger.


    "Young man, I suggest you fuck off." One of the three men turned and threatened Nelson.


    "Who is this guy anyway?" "What a bummer!" They had to finish their task and report to Miss Lou.


    Lily feltpletely overwhelmed. She was so terrified that she copsed on the ground with fright.


    "Get out of here." Nelson shouted. Seeing Lily fall only enraged him further.


    He couldn''t help think of what might have happened, had they not dropped Lily home. Had she been


    alone without Nelson to rescue her.. He didn''t want to think about that any more. No girl should have to


    go through something like this.


    Who could be so evil?


    Nelson had a very strong feeling that this was no ident.
