Aurelia’s mind blanked. She had never encountered a situation like this.

She lived like a sewer rat for her first 18 years of life. She had never harmed anyone of her own will, but she had had to turn her back on certain things for profits and self-preservation—things like a regular person’s awareness.

Upon seeing the stabbed Fredric, a regular person’s first reaction would be to call the police and send him to the hospital.

She could not do it. She could not leave him to die but was unwilling to implicate herself because of it.

Dragging Fredric back to treat his wound to prevent him from dying on the street due to blood loss was already the best she could do.

Aurelia’s heart thumped as she lost her bearing. An evil thought flashed in her mind. She could very well turn around, leave, and lock the door to allow the man to fend for himself in there. When the sun set, she could then drag him out and throw him somewhere. Nobody would know.

She sucked in a cold breath. She slapped herself harshly twice when the evil thought settled in her mind.

She calmed down after a moment and approached Fredric with trembling hands. She felt for his breathing. It was weak, but it was not hopeless.

Aurelia got out of the metal box, where she kept her money, and tried to carry Fredric on her back.

She was young and slim and failed to carry him after several attempts. Thus, she ran out for help.
