章 188: Best Friend

Shao Yan clasped both of her hands to cover her best friend's trembling hands.

"I admit, at that time I hated everyone," Shao Yan started to say. "I was alone, my focus had always been to work and earn more, and that was why I had no other friends in the same city," Shao Yan started to recall her lonely times.

"After I left him, I had to fly to San Francisco to meet my other friend to beg for shelter," she paused as she felt that she almost choked with emotions.

"This friend was someone I had known before from language school and she was much older than me, so I felt more secure in asking for her help," Shao Yan started to speak much slower, and her demeanor turned solemn as she looked down and stared at their clasped hands.
