Chapter 34
She was alone in the middle of the night, barefoot and only clad in pajamas that were caked with dirt.Anyone could tell that something had happened to her.
Tears streamed down the girl’s face, but she remained silent. Faye continued to try coaxing the girl,while Wilbur could only stare.
A while later, the girl’s emotions were finally a little more stable.
Faye brought the girl to her room and gave her a new set of pajamas to change into. She washed thegirl’s face as well before bringing her to the living room again.
Looking at the girl then, she was honestly quite pretty. It was unclear just what had happened to her.
Faye made the girl a bowl of pasta and continued to give her advice and comfort.
At last, the girl started talking after she ate.
The girl’s name was Shelby Seacrest. She was from a rural village and had a boyfriend who was goingto university in Seechertown.
She had come to Seechertown with her boyfriend and worked to pay her boyfriend’s school fees. Butafter he had graduated and found a good job, he started treating her worse and worse with physicaland verbal abuse.
That happened again tonight. He lashed out at her out of nowhere and kicked her out of their house.
She had nothing on her and nowhere to go, so she could only wander the streets on her own until sheran into Wilbur and Faye.
Faye was fuming at the story. How could someone so heartless and ungrateful exist? He could hardlyquality as a human being!
“Don’t worry, young lady. You can stay here for now, I’ll arrange a job for you, so you don’t have toworry about anything. People like that aren’t worth a single tear from you,‘ Faye fumed.novelbin
Shelby nodded sadly. Faye gave Shelby a hug, her heart aching as she patted Shelby’s back.
Wilbur sighed as well. That man really crossed the line.
“Do you want him to pay you back? I’m sure he still owes you a fair amount of money now,” Wilbursaid. The girl shook her head. “That’s alright. I don’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.”Wilbur could only let it be. If he were to have it his way, that man would be in big trouble.
Seeing Shelby finally calm down, Wilbur said, “Faye, take good care of her. I’m going to get some rest.”
Faye nodded, and Wilbur returned to his room. He sighed.
This girl was far, far too kind.
Faye and Shelby chatted for a long time before she brought her to a guest room.
Shelby was clearly shocked by the luxury of the room.
Faye said, “Get some rest and think about what you want to do. You can tell me tomorrow. Don’t worry,I’m pretty capable. I’ll get it done for you.”
Shelby nodded hard, her expression grateful.

Faye smiled and returned to her room. Yet she found it hard to fall asleep with how angry she was.Shelby’s fate was far too pitiful, and Faye was even considering tracking down that bastard to teachhim a lesson.
The night slowly darkened.
Shelby tossed and turned in bed and could not sleep, her expression solemn.
A long while later, she took a deep breath and walked out of her room. She came to Wilbur’s room,slowly twisting the doorknob open.
Wilbur, who was currently meditating while lying on his bed, opened his eyes to see the door of hisroom wide open.
Wilbur did not move. He channeled the night vision he had cultivated and was able to tell that it wasShelby who had come into his room.
All that could be seen was Shelby standing at the foot of Wilbur’s bed for a while, before calling out,“Hey, are you asleep?”
Wilbur turned to switch on the lights next to his bed.
He saw the uneasy expression on Shelby’s face and frowned. “It’s very late now. Is something thematter?”
