The man's eyes were fixed on Andy for only a second and then he looked away.
The cry made him lost interest.
What's more, he remembered that face very clearly. The buyer had told him not to touch it. He didn't want to cause trouble.
'Fuck off!'
He kicked Andy away, turned around, grabbed Vivian's hair and pulled her up from the ground. Without any mercy, he pushed her to the messy haystack again.
Instinctively, Vivian protected her hair and stumbled when she fell down. She bumped into the iron wall of the ship and her forehead was immediately broken. Bright red blood slid down and blurred her vision.
Even so, she didn't beg for mercy.
For her, no matter how much pain and humiliation her body had suffered, she didn't feel that because her heart was dead.
The man's eyes darkened for a moment, and then he walked towards Vivian.
As soon as he took a step forward, a hand suddenly grabbed the bottom of his trousers, making it difficult for him to move an inch.
When he looked down, he found that Andy had climbed back and held his left leg with both hands.
'Go to hell!'
The man completely lost his patience and kicked her in the stomach.
'Let go of me!'
'Did you hear me? Bitch!'
He kicked her harder and harder.
Andy's face was deathly pale, and she was so painful that cold sweat was oozing out, but she gritted her teeth and refused to let go.
Finally, the man made up his mind and kicked hard next time.
With a groan, she spat out a mouthful of blood, but her hand was still tightly locked on the man's leg.
The man came into impulse that he wanted to kill her. He kicked her several more times without mercy.
In a daze, Vivian turned around and saw the scene that her whole body trembled because of the man's kick.
Blood flowed out from the corner of Andy's mouth. Half of her face was stained with bright red, but she numbly maintained the posture of dragging that man.
'Annie, let go of him!' Vivian roared.
Anyway, she had long lost the ability to live. Being humiliated, she would fulfill her wish and give her a reason to end her life.
Since Andy couldn't speak any more, she had to use her last strength to look up at her deeply.
Vivian had been deeply hurt by Bob. She couldn't let Vivian suffer any more, or Vivian would really not be able to hold on.
She knew that Vivian was desperate and didn't want to live anymore.
Vivian could give up on herself, but she couldn't. She had never planned to give up on Vivian since she picked her up that year.
She forced a smile to let Vivian know that she didn't feel pain.
But Vivian felt much more painful than seeing Bob holding Tina's hand affectionately.
This was the person who loved her most in the world for her, she could risk her life for her. However, she wanted to commit suicide and torture herself for the sake of an insincere and pathetic love from the beginning.
She didn't know what kind of suffering Andy had suffered for her these days.
The most painful person was not herself.
'Stop!' Vivian rushed over and protected her. The man kicked her on the back of her waist.
'Ouch -' Vivian groaned in pain. In order not to make her sad, Annie didn't cry out just for not making her sad.
Seeing that Vivian was kicked him, the man stopped unconsciously.
It was not until then that Andy released her strength and lay down on the ground.
She opened her mouth and wanted to tell Vivian something, but before she could say anything, she blacked out.
'No, no,' the woman quickly denied, 'she's not dead, but...'
She sighed and looked at the pile of food. After a while, she said euphemistically, 'she brought those food for us.'
She was confused for a moment and then realized what he meant.
Vivian exchanged these things for herself.
She was still alive, but Andy was not happy. She had tried so hard, but nothing had changed.
She felt a lump in her throat and tears fell down all of a sudden.
'You still have wounds. Drink some water and eat something to replenish your strength.' The woman persuaded.
Andy shook her head, pushed her away, got up and was about to run upstairs.
'What are you going to do?' The woman held her and stopped her at the same time.
'I can't let Vivian be with those bastards. I want to save her. Don't stop me!'
'No, you can't go!'
The two of started to fight. Finally, the woman couldn't persuade her, so she just let go of her and shouted as if she was going to risk everything, 'Okay, you can go. If you want to kill her and us, just go!'
After a pause, she finally calmed down.
'It's a foregone conclusion. You should know why she did it. Don't let her pay in vain.' The woman said sincerely.
Yes, Vivian sacrificed her body for them to live. How could she let her down if she lived.
After all, it was she who dragged Vivian down.
Andy knelt on the ground helplessly. She didn't make noise anymore, but silently cried.
Another day passed. In the middle of the night, the door of the cabin opened softly, and a slender figure poked her head out from the door.
'Annie...'
