The Ruined Bride of Velvet Nights by Brick Moving Ant

Chapter 70

  • Chapter 16

  • I resumed my work as a doctor.

  • Three years later, the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo was even worse than before.

  • The areas controlled by armed groups had expanded to an unprecedented scale.

  • There was a food crisis, cholera outbreaks, sexual violence, and an endless stream of kidnappings.

  • It felt as though this place had become a “land abandoned by God.”

  • Every day, witnessing the hellish reality around me, I couldn’t help but wonder whether, for Doctors Without Borders, their treatment was extending hope or merely prolonging suffering.

  • A few months later, Adam told me he had found five of the children from that group.

  • Among them were Ray and Mary.

  • They had successfully escaped that day.

  • They later got in touch with their relatives and were now living with family members in Kisangani.

  • This news was a breath of fresh air.

  • I rushed to meet them.

  • The moment the car arrived at the meeting point, Mary rushed out.

  • She threw herself into my arms, eyes brimming with tears.

  • “Zoey!! You finally came!”

  • She had grown much taller and had blossomed into a young woman.

  • Looking anxiously into the car, she asked,

  • “Where’s Doctor Joseph? Why didn’t he come with you?”
