"If I take you with me, what can you offer me?" she asked the big chef. "Because I have saved your life and cured your poison, going beyond that will simply be angelic of me."
Contrary to what Muyang said, she was not mother Teresa.
The big chef reined her unrealistic expectations in. This savior of hers was a stranger to her. She was neither her family nor her friend. Indeed why would a stranger take her in? But what was she supposed to do? She had no power, no money and no one. Her father was her only family and he was dead. His friends were not helpful and her only friend had betrayed her.
The woman started crying once more and Chi Lian cursed internally.
"Stop crying." She sternly told the woman. "You said you want revenge, how can you get revenge if you cry at every little obstacle?"
"What will I doooo....." the big chef wailed, "All I know is cooking." She latched onto Chi Lian's arm and refused to let go. "Lady Savior, don't abandon me."
Thank you all for reading.
