Chapter 1930
Wendy sighed, "It's a pity Elaine Ma will soon be sent to the black brick kiln to burn bricks, and Gena hasn't been released yet. After she gets out, she may never see Elaine Ma again."
"Who says so!" The Lady also sighed. "But it doesn't matter. When Elaine Ma arrives at the black brick kiln, endless suffering awaits her!"
At that time, at Aurouss Hilll Women’s Detention Center:
Gena, who was in her cell, suddenly sneezed.
Several fellow inmates hurried over, asking diligently, "Sister Gena, what's wrong? Have you caught a cold?"
Gena rubbed her nose. "I don't know. Maybe someone's thinking of me."
A man nearby smiled, "Who would think of us—prisoners with no relatives or connections?"
"Yes," another echoed. "Chinese New Year is coming, and no one from my family has visited. It's chilling!" She looked at Gena. "Sister Gena, how much longer until your release?"
Gena sighed. "Five or six months, still."
"That's soon. I've got eight months left"
"And I have four"
"Well, we can't spend New Year's at home this year, but hopefully next year!"
Gena sighed again. "My mother is gone, my husband ran off with another woman, and my brother's family are a bunch of bastards. I don't even have a family left in this world…"
Gena's eyes reddened, and she choked up. "Thinking about New Year's… I can't even burn paper money for my mother. I don't know how she's doing, if she has enough money… It's cold. I wonder if she and my father even have money to celebrate…"
"Sister Gena, don't worry. After you get out, you'll have a chance to burn paper money for your parents."
Gena nodded, sighing. "Actually, I still miss the Lady. Seeing her bullied reminds me of how my mother suffered at the hands of my sister-in-law. It just hurts…"
She asked the others, "What do you suppose Mrs. Wilson is doing now? When she came in, she didn't even have a place to sleep. How is she doing? Is she still wandering the streets?"
As they spoke, a prison guard approached. "Gena, Yadira, and Samantha, pack your things. You're being released!"
The three women were stunned.
Gena asked in surprise, "Released? It's not my time yet!"
The guard said, "Someone posted bail for you. You can go today."
"What?!" Gena exclaimed. "I don't know anyone who would do that!"
The guard said indifferently, "Your old acquaintance, Mrs. Wilson, arranged it. She paid a substantial deposit for all three of you."
Gena was speechless, wide-mouthed. After a long moment, she asked incredulously, "Mrs. Wilson? Isn't she destitute? How could she afford to bail us out?!"
The guard chuckled. "Mrs. Wilson is doing remarkably well now. I heard her family business has rebounded, and they've moved into a Thompson First luxury villa. Apparently, they're paying for you to go to Thompson First, too. Have a good day!"
