“You’re going to return it to us? Pfft. Can you even afford it? Do you think it’s just the eight thousand dollars? You owe our family much more than that?” Queenie had a resentful look in her
eyes.
Severin’s heart was in turmoil. He never imagined that his cousin, who had such a good
relationship with him back then, would look at him with that kind of gaze. He knew that things were not as simple as they appeared to be, and he could only wonder what could have happened to her family.
“What happened, Queenie? Why do you owe all that money, and why would they be so forceful with you?” Severin decided to ask Queenie.
Queenie smiled bitterly. “You said you wanted to pay us back, right? Then let me ask you this: where did your family move to now? I was told yesterday that you had just been released, so I went to your house to look for you. Imagine my surprise when I found out that you’d
all moved away and there was no one there! I couldn’t get through to your parents either.”
Upon hearing that, Severin smiled wryly and said, “I’m really sorry, Queenie. My parents changed their numbers after I bought them new cell phones, and we didn’t manage to inform you yet. I didn’t think you’d come looking for us yesterday. My plan was to return the money to you. sometime tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.” He then paused and looked earnestly at Queenie before asking, “What’s the deal with those guys from earlier, Queenie? You haven’t told me anything yet!”
Queenie saw that Severin seemed to be telling the truth, so he sighed and said, “I’d rather we not talk about it, but it has to do with my mother’s operation some time ago. Our family didn’t have enough money, and we were short of another eight thousand, so my father wanted me to go to your home and
ask your family to return what you borrowed. But I knew that your family doesn’t have any money, especially since your parents are forced to pay Easton every month.”
Severin thought for a while, and then said, “And you went there anyway, but my parents had less than fifty bucks with them at the time. They gave it to you, but then you threw the money onto the ground and left in anger, right?”
Queenie nodded. “Yes. I was desperate at the time, and my dad argued with my mother many times because of how often she lent you money. I felt helpless when I couldn’t do anything for my mother when she was lying on the hospital bed, and out of desperation, I got to know those guys after one of my friends introduced us. I borrowed the eight thousand from them to help my mother pay for her surgery. “After a brief pause, she continued, “I was afraid that my parents would worry too much, so I didn’t tell them that I took a loan with a high interest rate from a private person.”
“How much money do you still owe them?” Severin asked.
Queenie smiled bitterly and said, “I have been working my butt off these few years to pay them back, and I had no choice but to quit my previous job as an accountant and work as a B-girl. The salary is much higher there. Many customers tend to feel me up, but I can only bear with them and laugh because I need to earn the money.”

“I’m sorry for causing all this suffering to you, Queenie. I didn’t expect you would have such a hard life. I swear I’ll help you pay back the money you owe them and return what I owe you al hundredfold.” Severin looked at Queenie seriously. He knew that Queenie would maintain her bottom line and not do
something as debauched as spending a night with random men, but being a ba hostess was surely agonizing for someone who was originally very simple and conservative.
Queenie merely smiled at Severin’s promise of returning the money ‘hundred fold to her and did not take it too seriously. She merely said, “If you’re rich now, you can just help me pay back the money I owe to those people. I still owe them just a little under nine thousand dollars now.”
“Nine thousand dollars?”
