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 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.
She knocked on all the doors in the basement, but the people who lived here had their own challenges. No one was
willing to help her. An old nomad lady shouted at her with a glare, “I told you not to drag this guy in here! We’ll all
be doomed if you send him to the hospital!”
“Granny!” Aurelia yelled back anxiously as well, “It’s a human life. Can you help?”
“You’ll alert the police! Die if you want, don’t drag us into this!”
The old nomad lady slammed her door shut. The others chose to watch without helping.
Someone even warned her, “Wait and see if we’ll skin you alive if you dare call the ambulance!”
Aurelia was scared and anxious, tears spilling out of her eyes. She stood there helplessly until a usually quiet man
dragged a wooden cart over and helped carry Fredric into it.
Aurelia kept thanking him, and they got Fredric out of the basement together and onto the ground level.
“It should be fast if you run dragging him along,” the man said hoarsely. “Send him to the hospital in secret. Don’t
call the ambulance! Or we’ll all suffer.”
“Mm, I know. Thank you!”
The wheels were freshly oiled, so they spun fast. Aurelia ran out of the alley pulling the cart along.
With the metal box in her arms, she prayed inwardly.
She ran fast, only to run into a solid chest just as she made a turn.

Aurelia fell to her butt, and the cart slid away. She could care less about herself as she yanked the cart’s rope with

“It’s you?” Aurelia was terrified.
Neil glared at her but saw Fredric, who was on the verge of death, on the cart. His mind went blank, speechless
from the astonishment.
“What’s going on!?”
Aurelia stared at him dumbly, shaking.
“Is he hurt?” Neil growled, “Did you wound him?”
“No!”
Neil had no time to think further. Fredric might not last long, judging by how pale he looked. He hated this man but
could not watch an acquaintance die in a foreign land.
As for the girl, she had to be brought back to be interrogated!
Neil calmed down and said seriously, “My car’s on the road opposite. I’ll send you both to the hospital!”
Aurelia bit her lips and looked at Fredric.
Neil knew that she wanted to escape and caught her arm. “Before this guy is saved, don’t even think about leaving
my side!”
