Chapter 191
After returning to the apartment, Eden asked Kenneth to take a bath and prepared a set of clean and comfortable clothes for him.
She hurried out to the Rivera family's stall after that. The stall should still be opened when she reached there.
She checked the location of the store and found that it was not far from her place.
It would take her about 25 minutes to reach there on foot. Eden started walking along the river. She would get there faster on foot than to go by cab.
She walked very fast because she was afraid that Kenneth would get hungry. She looked at the GPS as she walked. She would reach the stall after she crossed the Achorage Bridge. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She smiled and glanced at the Achorage Bridge that was hidden in the weeping willows not far away.
It was getting dark. The neon lights on both sides of the street flashed and the rows of brake light from the cars were dazzling.
Eden looked at the bustling scene and smiled slightly.
She walked to the Achorage Bridge and glanced at the night scene. The colorful lights hanging on the willow trees constantly changed colors.
She was truly back to this place this time.
She came for her dreams initially but things went against her will. Now, she was here for revenge.
Eden sighed softly. She was about to look away when she suddenly saw a thin figure with slumped shoulders walking down the stone steps towards the direction of the river. She could tell that something was wrong from the person's expression.
The flickering lights flashed across the person’s face. She looked desperate, painful and sad.
This kind of feeling...
Eden suddenly felt an unspeakable and familiar emotion rising in her heart.
Eden suddenly felt that the woman looked a little familiar. She stood at the end of the bridge and fixed her eyes on the woman...
She thought back carefully. It was Buddy's girlfriend who was pregnant. Eden seemed to have heard them calling her Zofia last time.
Eden watched as Zofia approached the river. The desperate look in Zofia's eyes seemed so familiar to her.
Eden's heart seemed to be hit hard by a blunt object.
She had also felt such despair in the past.
"Don't go," Eden shouted.
Eden rushed down the bridge. Zofia didn't stop walking and she was going down the stairs as if she was in a trance.
Eden looked slightly strained and she suddenly became nervous. She quickly ran towards the river.
Zofia was going to commit suicide!
She was sure about that. There were stone steps along the river. Eden had to watch her steps or she would accidentally fall down.
Zofia had already stepped into the river. She was still pregnant.
"Zofia, don't..." Eden shouted and quickened her pace. Her voice was drowned by the whistling sound of the cars that were speeding by. Zofia did not respond at all.
Eden's heart was about to jump out of her throat. She did not care whether she would fall or not at that moment and she rushed over as fast as she could.
"Zofia, stop..."
Zofia was so desperate that she had plunged herself into her grief stricken world and could not hear Eden at all.
Eden looked at Zofia who could not hear her. The level of the water had already risen above her waist.
The river, at its deepest, was several meters. Anybody trying to commit suicide here would definitely not be able to survive .
"Zofia, think about the child in your belly. He is innocent. As a mother, are you going to deprive him of his life without his consent?
Zofia, stop!" Eden shouted as she ran.
Eden's curly hair was blown by the wind. She was so anxious that it was heart-wrenching.
Eden quickened her pace.
