Chapter 4325
However, why did she feel so resigned?
Olive stood there dumbly as she cried. Then, she broke down laughing.
After a while, Olive calmed and prepared to find a place to eat something.
However, when she passed an alleyway, Olive suddenly stood still. She heard a heart-wrenching cry from the alleyway.
The cries were of children and women, and they sounded desolate and heart-wrenching.
As soon as she heard the cries, Olive thought of her situation and felt emotional. Then, she walked into the alleyway
without any hesitation.
Gasp!
Olivia's delicate body trembled with anger and heartache when she entered the alleyway and saw the scene in front of her.
A decently dressed middle-aged man stood there with an impatient face. A few men surrounded him. A mother and
daughter sat on the ground; they were crying as they held onto each other.
The mother and daughter, dressed in patched clothes, were filthy and pitiful. 1
There was a stretcher next to them. It looked like there was a dead body under the white
cloth that covered it. Olivia presumed it was the little girl's father.
The mother's name was Yee, and the little girl's name was Fang.
Fang’s father had died in an accident, and the family was suddenly left without a source of
income. They could not even afford to bury Fang's father.
Yee had no choice but to sell Fang so that she could bury her husband with that money.
The mother and daughter had sat there the entire day before a kind middle- aged man
finally came across them. However, Fang continued to cry and refused to leave.
When she saw her daughter crying, Yee could not bear it and broke down and cried too.
The middle-aged man lost his patience when he saw them crying. He frowned and said, "Is
your daughter still for sale? If not, I'm leaving.”
The middle-aged man, Lee Dong, was a businessman passing through Japonica Town. It
was a coincidence that he saw Yee trying to sell her daughter to get money to bury her
husband.
When he noticed that Fang was good-looking and well-behaved, he decided to buy her. He
did not expect Fang to refuse to leave her mother.
"Fang."
Yee wiped her tears as she rushed to Fang and said, "Listen to me. Go with that
gentleman. Go with him so you won't have to freeze and starve. Do you understand?"
Yee felt as if a knife had cut through her heart.
No parents would want to sell their children. She was forced to do that.
"Mother..."
Fang cried even harder as she hugged Yee's neck. "I don't want to go! I want to stay with
you! I don't want to go with someone else! I don't want to go with anyone else!"
Yee became furious and pushed Fang away, deliberately scolding her harshly. "You
scourge! Your father was looking for work to buy you new clothes before he got into an
accident. Go away!"
However, Yee could not help but wipe her tears.
She did not want to scold her child, but she could not help it. Her child would not go with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat man if she did not do that. She was ill, and she knew that her child would only suffer
if she had stayed with her.
Yee wiped her tears discreetly before she coughed up blood.
Fang froze when her mother scolded her so fiercely.
Olive's heart ached when she saw that.
Olive saw the change in Yee's expression and the subtle movements in her eyes. Olive felt moved when she finally
understood something.
The woman's husband had died, and she was severely ill, so she was desperate to sell her daughter.
Had it been the same thing for her master?
'Did Master pretend to be desperate to dissolve our master-apprentice relationship? Did she mean to protect me?'
For a moment, Olive was enlightened.
"Go!"
Just as Olive was muttering, she saw Lee Dong throw some money at Yee before pulling Fang's hands and preparing to
leave.
"Wait!"
Olive did not hesitate as she walked forward quickly.
In that instant, Lee Dong, the woman, and the child looked at Olive in surprise.
