    I felt like a giant was picking me up , and that giant didn’t look friendly . Will he kick me out ?


    “ Stop immediately , Gustavo ! ” Henriques stopped his adjutant in time .


    Thanks to Henriques , his assistant threw me aside before helping his boss to his feet . _ _ I almost fell


    again , but Isabel , who was furious with the way I was treated , caught me . _ _ “ You ca n’t treat ady


    how rude ”  _


    The man helped Henriques to his feet , ignoring his disquiet . _ “ All right , Young Master Henriques ? ”


    Although Henriques cringed and sweated in pain , he still managed to


    pull himself together and maintain his manners , as he had a good upbringing . “ Are you okay ? ”

    “ Didn’t I make

    him away before staggering away .


    “ Wait for me , Linda ! ” Isabel screamed , but I didn’t stop running until I left the hospital and got in


    the car .


    After closing the door , I buried my face in my hands as I


    sobbed my heart out . Once the floodgates were raised , I could n’t stop crying . _ _ _ Now I understan


    d why so many people see crying as an outlet _ _. Looking at my state , Isabel patted my shoulder . _ _


    _ _ “ Let it all out , Linda . Just let the pain go and you ‘ll feel better .


    Isabel knew me better as we had


    been friends for years . She knew I was n’t one to cry unless the pain was unimaginable , just like what


    I was going through .  _ _ _


    Eventually , my pain flowed along with my tears , leaving nothing but hate inside me . _ I hated myself
