The Spirit House(2)

She looked at me and probably noticed my upset face, so she asked me, "What's wrong?"

Of course, I wouldn't say anything about Fiona. I rubbed my belly and squeezed out a smile. "My stomach is bleeding. I'm not feeling well."

"Oh, is it serious?"

"Yes, I even vomited blood. I thought I would die."

"Do you fear death?"

"Of course, no one wants to die."

She stood there for a while as if she was thinking. Then she returned the cigarette to me and said, "Then I won't buy it."

I was confused.

I didn't know why the beautiful lady did so after knowing about my stomach bleeding.

But I couldn't force her to buy it, so I gave the cash back to her.

When it was almost morning, Ms. Chambers called me again and asked me how much cash I had received.

I told her that there were only about 60 dollars in cash today. She then asked me to replenish stocks of alcohol with the money.

Only then did I find that the alcohol in the store was almost sold out. It must have been sold during the day.
