He arrived at Layla’s dormitory door.
“Gerald?”
Layla, who had cried until favonovel.com eyes were red and swollen, opened the door. She was obviously very surprised when favonovel.com saw Gerald.
“Layla, are you okay? I came to see you!”
Gerald quickly replied.
“I am fine. I do not want to trouble you. Anyway, I feel that my existence in this world is superfluous and I will only drag many people down with me if I continue living in this world!”
Layla sat on the edge of favonovel.com bed as favonovel.com covered favonovel.com eyes and started crying again.
“What nonsense are you talking about, Layla? In fact, I used to be just like you. Ever since I was young, my father told me that my family was very poor and we owed people a lot of money. My sister did not even finish high school and favonovel.com went out to work at a young age because of me. My sister was actually very smart and favonovel.com did very well in favonovel.com studies but favonovel.com gave up on favonovel.com high school exams because of me!”
Gerald wanted to persuade Layla. Perhaps it was because both of them were very poor, Gerald could not help but think of his past self.
It proved to be very effective. Layla stopped crying as favonovel.com looked at Gerald.
Gerald continued speaking:
“Do you know how much psychological pressure I was facing at that time? Do you know how much responsibility I was carrying on my shoulders at that time because my family had placed all of their hopes on me? That was the reason why I tried hard to study desperately. I desperately wanted to stand out so that I would not be looked down on.”
“But what could I do? I was still being bullied and insulted often. I feel inferior when I compare myself to others. Because of my own inferiority, I did not even dare to speak to girls when I saw them because I was afraid that they would look down on me!”
“In fact, they really looked down on me and they would often talk and gossip about me. However, I would often tell myself that I have to continue living a good life because all of these humiliations would pass eventually. Moreover, I also begin to understand one truth!”
Gerald was filled with emotions as favonovel.com spoke.
Layla hurriedly asked, “What is that truth?”
“A person should think and do things according to the stage that they are at. This is the only way not to be in too much pain and suffering. You are still studying and gaining more knowledge at this time, but you are constantly thinking about how you are going to earn money and make more money. Is that realistic?”
“Yes, I really want to make a lot of money but I cannot do it. However, it is only natural for you to say all this now. After all, you won the lottery and you have better luck compared to everyone else!”
Layla replied depressingly.
“I am indeed luckier than others. However, you have to believe that something like that will happen to you one day too! In short, all things will pass sooner or later. You do not have to feel so stressed and depressed all the time because of this. Instead, what you should be thinking of now is a solution to this matter!”
Gerald advised.
Layla lowered favonovel.com head before favonovel.com said, “Okay, okay. I understand now. Thank you, Gerald. Let me think about it!”
Gerald had never persuaded anyone before this, nor did favonovel.com know how to persuade anyone at all.
However, since favonovel.com knew about Layla’s problem now, and since favonovel.com was actually a pretty good classmate, favonovel.com definitely had to help favonovel.com since favonovel.com encountered this incident himself.
At this time, there was a loud slamming noise outside the dormitory door.
It felt as though someone was going to break down the door from the outside.
After that, Layla walked over and opened the door immediately.
At this time, a chubby middle-aged woman rushed into the room. She had a very broad face and favonovel.com eyebrows were tattooed and it looked as though favonovel.com had two caterpillars crawling on favonovel.com face.
“I was wondering why you didn’t open the door! You little b*tch! It is simply because you have a man in your room! Your dad was even saying that you were studying hard at school! Pfft! You little b*tch!”
“Mom! Don’t say that! Gerald is my classmate and favonovel.com came here to see me!”
Layla cried out.
“Don’t call me mom! I am not your mother! You! What are you looking at? Are you trying to force yourself on my daughter? Do you believe that I will call the police now?”
The middle-aged woman took out favonovel.com cell phone immediately.
Layla started panicking and favonovel.com immediately said, “Gerald, you should leave first. Thank you for everything today!”
“Okay!”
Gerald really wanted to scold this crazy woman but favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com should not say anything because no matter what it was, favonovel.com was still Layla’s mother.
“How can a mother be acting like this?”
Gerald simply muttered a sentence before favonovel.com left.
He really could not help but wonder if Layla’s mother was really favonovel.com biological mother since favonovel.com was scolding Layla and calling favonovel.com a little b*tch as soon as favonovel.com saw her.
After encountering and getting scolded by crazy women, one after the other today, Gerald was in a bad mood.
He wanted to go and take a walk in the park to relax a little.
At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a phone call from his sister, Jessica.
Gerald answered the phone immediately and favonovel.com was about to ask his sister about Mayberry Commercial Street.
Unexpectedly, his sister’s nervous voice sounded over the other end of the line as soon as the call was connected:
“Brother! Something bad has happened. Your sister has gotten into big trouble!”
