Chapter 71: The way of the world
One weekend and for that moment, everything for Fil felt... right. For a moment, things looked great. No pain, no suffering, no anger. It was just pure bliss and peace to the point the thought of breaking up with Vincent crossed her mind.
No revenge.
Just move on and let karma do its work.
Give the burdens to heaven and free herself from the brewing sins she has to commit.
But alas, after that weekend, just when she was reconsidering her life options, life just reminded her how cold this world was. And that if she didn’t act, there would be just more people like her who would be exploited and victimized by the so-called elites.
"I came here as soon as I heard what happened." Sitting beside the hospital bed, Fil frowned deeply. "How are you holding up?"
Reclining on the private ward, Kenzo offered her a smile. His leg was covered with a cast and he had to wear a sling for his arm. Bruises on his face and a black eye on his left eye. She could vividly imagine the horrors he went through.
"It’s still office hours," he quipped. "Liv will give you an earful."
"I have to visit the site," she said. "And I told her I’ll drop by here before going there. So? What happened?"
Kenzo just shrugged.
"Ken," she called with deep concern. "Who did this to you? Was it... Marcus?"
