Fall in Love with A Soldier

Chapter 15 Compassion

Elizabeth pressed her lips, took off the meteorite necklace from her neck and carefully put it in her jacket pocket. Then she turned to walk on a field path.

These days, Snow's things made a big deal. After Snow left the town to go back to LH City, every person said to her grandparents that they had a filial granddaughter, who had a rich and handsome boyfriend, and they were about to get married. And they would go the wedding.

In fact, from Snow back to the town until she left, they had never seen Snow's boyfriend.

Since Snow went back to her hometown to visit her elders, shouldn't her boyfriend come with her?

Maisie said it at the dinner table.

“The man has no manners though he was rich. He is a good man!” Maisie was like sour grape.

Elizabeth explained for Snow, “Since he is rich, he must be busy making money! Besides, it's not like the parents met. Mom, why slander a man behind his back?”

“Why do you stand for her?” said Maisie angrily.

Elizabeth pressed her lips and replied, “I don’t. I just don't think you should talk behind other people's backs.”

“Well, I don't want to argue with you. I don't expect you to marry a rich man, anyway.” Maisie rolled her eyes at Elizabeth and continued to eat. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Martin remained silent.

After dinner, Elizabeth took out to call Anthony Lawrence, her brother.

“Brother, I am Elizabeth!”

“How did you change your phone number?”

“I was home. That mobile phone card is a campus card of LH City Architecture Institute. It is more expensive, so I changed a card.”

“You are home? Why did you suddenly go home? You still have a month to go to school!”

“Brother, can you lend me ten thousand yuan?”

“What do you want ten thousand yuan for?”

“For the tuition fee of my second year of school, as well as my living expenses!”

“Why don't you ask mom and dad?”

“They won't give...”

“But I don't have so much money! You know, I spent out my money every month with zero deposit and I often asked money from Mom!”

“Well… I'll try other ways myself...” Elizabeth said in gloomy face.

Anthony felt sorry for her and said, “Why don't you work in my city in the last month of your summer vacation? It is a seaside big city!”

“I can't even get a job in LH City. It's even harder to find a job in your city.” Elizabeth lost confidence in herself.

Anthony said with a smile, “What are you afraid of? You come to my city tomorrow, and I will take care of you for a month! There will always be a job to pay for the tuition!”

“I'll go now!” Elizabeth immediately was full of confidence.

“Now?” Anthony was astonished.

Elizabeth said firmly, “Yes! I'll get the train ticket!”

“All right! Be careful on your way! Call me when you arrive!”

“Ok!”

Elizabeth renerved after the call with her brother.

Anyway, her family lived near the train station, so it was easy to buy a ticket.

When she left home dragging the suitcase, her father with a walking stick came out of the house.

At the year Elizabeth was in junior in high school, her father was a construction worker, and accidentally fell down from the third floor of the construction site. Although he survived, his leg was broken.

Martin hobbled to the front of Elizabeth and put the crumpled two thousand yuan into the hands of Elizabeth.

“It's my private money. Take it.” Martin showed a smile on his old face, “Don't let your mom know.”

Elizabeth looking at the Martin, nose a sour, tearful hugged the body some of the Martin bent.

“Elizabeth! Take good care of yourself. It is important to be happy and optimistic! And there are too many bad men in the world, you must learn to protect yourself!” Martin always said that.

Elizabeth nodded, wiped away tears and forced a smile. Dragging luggage, she turned out of the door.

She dare not look back to see her farther, for fear that she could not help crying again.

Elizabeth decided she would go home easily after this trip.

Even when she was in the most distressed situation, this home was not her refuge after all.

Well… Where was her true refuge?

The night gradually swallowed up her lonely back.

Elizabeth felt that she had embarked on another endless road...

Train station, ticket hall.

“Are there really no hard seats? What about the hard sleeper? Soft sleeper also works! As long as there is a ticket! I'll take it!” Elizabeth said repeatedly. She did not expect that the ticket to BJ City was hard to buy.

The conductor was impatient, “There is none tonight! There are only for the day after tomorrow, how about buy one for the day after tomorrow?”

“Hello, I'd like a refund on this soft sleeper ticket to BJ City.” At this time, the side of the ticket change window suddenly sounded a magnetic male voice.

Elizabeth had heard it was a ticket to BJ city. When he was about to refund the ticket, she rushed to him and seized his hand.

“Sir, can you give me this ticket?” Elizabeth begged. She only had the ticket to BJ City in her eyes.

She took his hand, trembling. There were traces of crying on her face. The pitiful look made the man distressed.

It seemed that this girl wanted to go to BJ City very much.

The man showed compassion and said politely, “Sure, but you'll have to let go of my hand before I can give you the ticket.”

Elizabeth realized at the time that she was grasping his hand.

“Yes, I'm sorry!” Subconsciously she let go of his hand and apologized awkwardly.

The man's voice, as usual, was soft and pleasant to hear, “It doesn't matter.”

Hearing this pleasant voice, Elizabeth raised her head in amazement and looked at the man.

He was dressed in a dark silver suit, elegant and refined, tall but not burly, at least 1.8 meters tall.

And this man's features, like God's hand crafted works of art, were perfect.

He was handsome!

This was Elizabeth's first impression of this man. It was first time in her life that she has been a nympho. Oh, no! It was her second time being a nymphomaniac!
