The old flight of stairs creaked when Leah stepped on them. It was so shaky and felt like it was going to fall soon.

Leah couldn’t imagine someone still living in a house like that. She remembered the city council of Linkville had issued an order to evacuate all citizens who lived in decrepit buildings to avoid any accidents from happening.

She guessed the people who were risking their lives to stay here must be living a difficult life since many people in this world were still trying to eke out a living.

Leah carefully walked upstairs and headed towards the room closest to the staircase. Before she arrived at the door, she heard someone scolding, “Where’s the money? Did you not bring any money back today again? You are just as useless as your mother!”

The decrepit houses had thin walls. Leah could clearly hear the man’s rude and vulgar words. She frowned slightly. The windows were made of paper, and the shadows of two people could be seen.

Leah saw a man beating a woman. The woman was kneeling on the floor and crying from pain.

Leah couldn’t stand it and wanted to enter the room to stop the man, but she hesitated because she might make the situation worse since she was alone.

She took out her phone and wanted to call the police. Then, someone opened the door, and a woman ran out like a lunatic. It was Regina. Leah went after her immediately.

Regina seemed to have hurt her leg. She was not running as fast as before. Leah caught up to her by a small river. “Regina, stop running.” Leah held onto Regina’s hand.

Regina was weak and fell to the ground. Leah could finally take a good look at her. Regina was in a really bad condition. Her body was full of injuries and a slap mark could be seen on her face.
