The Woman From Hell

Two days later, Nina and I met again.

I held her hand and asked, "How did it go? Have you heard anything?"

Nina nodded. "Yes, I saw that woman sneaking in through the back door of Jarn's house yesterday."

"Sure enough, she's from the same village. The Jarns are so rich, but they don't want to help the village. It's clear that there's a problem." As I thought, they were colluding with each other to form a party and conduct illegal things, benefitting from it. It was simply despicable.

Nina frowned. She stared at me and asked in an uneasy tone. "Wanda, what can you do knowing this?"

"Report to the police after we leave, so as to prevent more young girls from being abducted," I responded lightly.

After hearing what I said, she pursed her lips. "Oh, we're not even out of danger yet and you're still thinking about others. I don't want to stay here anymore. I've had enough."

Nina's voice was choked up. She touched her hands which were getting rougher, and her eyes were moist. "I want my parents to know that I'm living such a life. They must be very sad. Look at these hands. They were fair and tender before, but now they're tan and rough. I haven't taken care of my face for a long time. If we stay any longer, we'll become like those women..."
