Chapter 44 - How Long Can She Hide the Truth?

Meanwhile, she was stuck in the bathtub, totally lost in her thoughts. The water was still running from the tap; she had completely forgotten to turn it off. Her mind was off in another world, and soon enough, tears started streaming down her cheeks. She couldn't help but sob softly to herself, "When am I going to get out of this mess? When?" She kept wondering, "I've lost everything. Who do I have now? There's no one around to protect me or rely on. What am I even doing here with this stranger? Because of me, he could also be in danger. I can't just leave, I'm stuck here. He's been protecting me as he knows me. He's provided shelter, food, clothes, and everything I need to feel secure. But instead of feeling grateful, I'm just putting him at risk. He doesn't have a clue who I really am, and still, he's there for me, refusing to throw me out."
