“I guess I can do whatever you want,” Lisa said. After all, she had no money to offer him nor had
anything else but her life to give.
“Okay,” he said
She was stunned. Did he just… agree to her request? Was that not too easy?
“How’s your hand?” He asked as his gaze fell on Lisa’s hand which was still held under the cold
running water. “Does it still burt?
“Not anymore,” she replied. “It’s been under the running water for quite a while, so I think I should be
fine now.”
He turned off the tap, pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, and used it to pat her hand dry.

better apply some medicine on it.”
“Umm, I think there is
“Go get it, then”
Lisa hurried to her own bedroom and quickly got the ointment for burns. It was only then that she
suddenly realized what she was doing. Why had she been so obedient in following Terry’s orders?!
Still, she shook off the thought and walked out of the room with the ointment. As soon as she stepped
out, she saw Terry with her parents in the living room, engaged in a conversation
As she approached them, she heard her mother say, “Oh, so that’s how you two met! You got drunk
and Lisa brought you back to the hotel and even took care of you the whole night! I always knew that
our daughter Lisa is a kindhearted girl! We raised her to always be ready to help those in need!”
Lisa almost tripped over her own foot and fell when she heard that. Kindhearted girl? Always ready to
help those in need?! if only her parents knew what had actually happened that night, they would never
even think of saying those words!
“That’s right,” Terry continued. “If she hadn’t taken such good care of me, I would’ve landed in a lot of
trouble. Sometimes, if you’re not careful, you might choke on your own vomit when you get drunk,
which could then suffocate you and even kill you
As he spoke, he turned to look at Lisa before adding, “So, I’m really grateful to Lisa for taking care of
me back then.”
Those words made Lisa feel so embarrassingly guilty!
Yet, her parents then replied, “Oh, don’t worry about it! You’re from the same country, after all! It’s only
right that Lisa should help you when you are in need since you were both in a foreign country!”

Just then, Terry waved his hand and said, “Come over here and take a seat.”
She quickly followed his order and sat beside him. Once she had settled down, she once again realized
that she.. She had just obeyed” him again! She felt like she was his pet dog that followed her owner’s
every order!
“No!‘ she thought in panic. ‘Stop it! I am not his pet dog!”
Terry then took the ointment in her hand, leaned down, and began to rub it on the back of her hand
which had been scalded by the hottes
Lisa’s parents exchanged a look when they saw this. Her mother then said in a warm voice, “Say, Terry,
how big is your family? Are your parents still working or are they retired?”
“My father has passed away,” he replied, “and my mother has always lived abroad. She currently has
no plans of returning to this country in the near future.
“Oh,” said Lisa’s mother, “Then, do you have any siblings?”
