Chapter 78 In the end, these words remained unspoken by Willow. Nicola's life wasn't any easier than hers. If she told Nicola the truth, she would no doubt go to Silas desperately seeking money.
She feared not only Nicola's failure to borrow the money but also the possibility of Silas trampling Nicola's dignity into the dust.

"Nicola, you don't need to givemoney anymore. I've managed to gather enough for Aaron's surgery. Just take care of yourself." Willow didn't fuss over returning the 20 thousand dollars to Nicola because she needed the money. But she didn't want to burden Nicola like this again in the future.
Cillian and his mother were leeches, sucking on Nicola. They exploited Nicola's labor, forcing her into backbreaking work to fund their expenses. Willow couldn't bear to Imagine what Nicola had been through to earn this 20 thousand dollars.
"You've enough?" Nicola grew even more worried after hearing this.
Of course, Willow couldn't tell Nicola about donating her body. She thought carefully and spoke, "Nicola, I met a very, very good man. He helped me. He has a special connection with Aaron. When he heard that Aaron was sick, he insisted on helping him get treatment." "Really?" Nicola was still somewhat skeptical. She was afraid Willow might have done something foolish. Pushing up Nicola's sleeve, she saw that Nicola's arms were covered in horrifying scars. Sseemed to have been carved directly by sharp ceramic shards. The scars were deep enough for Willow to see the bone.
If her arms were in such a state, the rest of her body would be no better.

"Willow, don't worry. I'm fine. This was just an accident. I fell and cut myself on sglass. Willow, I have to get back to work now, I'll be going" After saying her piece, Nicola hurriedly headed out of the small apartment. Willow knew there were sthings that Nicola didn't want to talk about, no matter how much Willow asked. But Willow truly felt for Nicola. She was trapped in the darkness when the light was so close, but just out of reach.
As Nicola left, Willow followed her downstairs. She wanted to see Nicola off as she knew that she may not have the chance to do so again in the future. Life was short. At this moment, she longed for one final glimpse of her best friend, even if it were just her retreating figure.
After going downstairs, Willow expected Nicola to return to Cillian's place as she usually did. But to her surprise, she saw Cillian's mother, Isabella Peltz, in the lobby,
Isabella was brimming with anger. Spotting Nicola, she strode up to her and delivered a resounding slap across her face.
"You slut! I knew you'd sneak out at this hour to cheat on my son! Tell me, om are you here to see the father of the bastardire to bastard in your belly?" Isabella stood with hands on her hips, looking like a shrew.
Suddenly, she grabbed Nicola's arm like a vicious demon, "If you don't tell me, I'll kill the bastard in your belly right now!” Isabella glanced around and spotted a thick wooden rod nearby. She snatched and swung it viciously at Nicola's belly.
