Chapter 5 Need something else?
Lily's pupils suddenly contracted, her face turned pale and blue, and her back pressed tightly against the cold door, as if she was seeking a sense of security.
"I really regret it. Please, let me go, sir." Her voice was filled with tears, her eyes were red, and her nose was also slightly red, making her look extremely pitiful. "I promise, I will never come again..."
Leo lowered his eyes and easily caught her tearful look. He asked coldly, "Are you really not selling it?"
"No, I won't sell it." Lily shook her head hurriedly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.
"You won't sell it anymore?" Leo 's voice sounded again, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
Li ly's tears finally burst out , and she trembled and said, "Never again, please, let me go. I will... I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."
Leo turned his head and tapped her shoulders twice with his bony fingers. He felt her thin shoulders, which seemed to be supported only by bones without any flesh. He looked away and said one word lightly: "Get lost."
Lily turned around and cried to open the door, but found that the door was still motionless. At this time, a big hand reached out from behind, held her hand, lifted it up, and with a "click", the door opened. It turned out that the lock was reversed.
Lily didn't care about so much, and rushed out crying, even forgetting to change her shoes. She ran all the way until she ran a few meters away and saw the elevator entrance, then she dared to stop. She leaned against the wall in front of the elevator door, gasping for breath. It was silent here, she didn't dare to cry loudly, she could only cover her mouth and let the tears fall one by one. Her teeth couldn't help trembling, making a clattering sound.
She was too scared to do anything that went against her conscience and morality. Although she had made plans before, she was still so scared that she chose to escape when faced with it. At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world had collapsed.
Lily squatted on the ground weakly, sobbing silently for more than ten minutes. Gradually, the tension and fear began to calm down. At this time, the phone rang, and the word "Mom" flashed on the screen.
Lily answered the phone crying. She thought she could get some comfort from her mother, but she was scolded: "You are such a heartless bastard! It's okay that your father is disabled, but you are also an ungrateful person! I rely on you to make money! Where's the money? I tell you! If you don't give me the money, don't do your father's checkup the day after tomorrow! Just be paralyzed in a wheelchair until you die! Forget it!"
Lily 's cry was instantly suppressed. She remembered that when she was five years old, her father had a car accident on the way to buy ice cream on his bicycle. In order to save her, her father wrapped her with his body and was hit by a large truck rushing towards him, causing his lower body to be paralyzed. The perpetrator left some money and ran away. From then on, the pillar of the family fell and the family was penniless. When she was eighteen years old, she was admitted to university, and her father insisted on letting her go to school against all odds. He had suffered all kinds of grievances and abuses for her since she was a child, and secretly borrowed money from relatives to give her money, just to let her study hard and make a name for herself.
But the day after tomorrow is the day for the repair surgery that they have been waiting for many years. They invited experts and waited in line for five years before they got this opportunity. If there was no money, Dad would have spent a long time in a wheelchair. Over the years, she witnessed a man's dignity being trampled on the ground.
Lily's heart ached. She hung up the phone and wiped away her tears. She looked down at the disposable slippers on her feet. Because the soles were very thin, the coldness from the floor penetrated into her feet, corroding her nerves and spreading to her limbs. She shivered, stood up from the ground, turned around and walked back resolutely.
After a few steps, she walked to the door. She wiped her face and knocked on the door 1009. The door slowly opened, revealing the man's delicate and handsome face. Before he could speak, Lily asked directly, "Do you want anything else?" Although her voice was still trembling, her eyes revealed determination and resoluteness.
