Chapter 38 He Was My Close Friend Karl


    Beth didn’t dare to recall how she lived these years.


    Because all these years were full of sharp pain.


    Beth shook her head sadly and her eyes were red because of her cry, “Karl, I didn''t lie to you. It''s really


    me. Why don''t you believe me?”


    Karl was so furious that his handsome face looked like evil at the moment.


    “Why don’t I believe you? You just make up lies. You can make up more lies. You lied to Aaron that you


    had cancer but he found it’s your lie. I know it.” Karl said.


    “Are you trying to cheat me by such a bad lie now? Or do you think I am not as smart as Aaron, so I will


    believe your nonsense?”


    “I warn you. If you cheat me again, I''ll just throw you into the river and let you drink more water in it.”


    Karl added.


    His expression was so cruel that Beth didn’t dare to see him, just shivering.


    She suddenly lost the courage to continue to exin because she was afraid of being thrown into the


    river again.


    The water in the river was too cold.


    The water was as cold as Karl''s eyes at this time. Beth felt she was about to be frozen into an ice


    sculpture.


    Karl nced at her, turned and left without hesitation.


    He got into his car and ordered the driver to drive away at once.


    As Karl walked by Beth, he deliberately trampled her bleeding fingers with leather shoes.


    Beth shuddered with pain and her breath paused at that time.


    She cried with sadness, “Karl...”


    ‘He must have been cheated by Carina.’


    ‘So he didn’t believe me.’ Beth thought.


    As tears poured down her cheeks, her face wet.


    To Beth, Karl, was kind to her, as good as Jessica.


    If Beth didn''t find Aaron, if she didn''t know Aaron was the youth in her mind, she would marry Karl


    finally.


    Beth never belittled Karl, and never felt that he was not worthy of her due to his stuttering.


    In fact, such a good man, Beth even believed that she was not worthy of him.


    Karl used to be so nice to Beth. When peopleughed at Beth because she was deaf, Karl would rush


    to fight with those people.


    He won finally, but he still got hurt.


    Karl smiled at Beth with bruises on his face, “Beth, I won''t let others bully you.”


    However, when Karl himself was scolded as a bastard and stammer, he would only tolerate bully and


    say nothing.


    Karl would help Beth when she was bullied by Kathy secretly.


    Beth felt inferior because she couldn’t y the piano, Karl taught her, holding her hands. He never


    When Kathy framed Beth for giving her sleeping pills, the Johnson family was so angry that they


    wanted to kill her.


    At that time it was Karl who protected Beth, saying over and over that he believed her. He even was


    struck with her.


    “She wouldn’t do that,” Karl said.


    That day, Beth held Karl in the night and they cried together.


    Beth cried about her own grievance, about sadness, and about grief.


    All her negative and fragile emotions vented in front of this warm and shy boy.


    Though her close friend, Karl, stammered, Beth believed he would be a great pianist one day.


    How could Beth see a star like Karl falling!


    However, Beth blinked and saw the back of her hand, which was hurt and blurry.


    Beth cried sadly again.


    Previously, Karl was the friend who apanied Beth when she was struck and protected her from


    bullying.


    Nowadays, he threw her into the river for Carina and trampled her hands.


    Once Karl protected Beth from all harm.


    At the moment, everything had changed.


    The wind was cold at night. The wet clothes clung to the body made Beth ufortable, like being


    pricked by fine needles. The pain was so overwhelming that she could hardly breathe.


    Beth managed to stand up though she was trembling. She walked alone on the open road with heavy


    steps.


    Street lights lit her way home.


    However, Beth did not know where her home was.


    ‘Get out of the cast.’ Karl ordered Beth to leave the cast.


    But Beth couldn’t do that. It''s hard to get a job.


    How did she make money without this job?


    Beth took a cab back to Pearly vi, depending on her willpower.


    When Beth opened the door, she was pulled into the hall by someone.


    Beth was forced to twirl in the cool night. A momentter, she saw Aaron''s handsome and cool face.

    “Where did you go with Karl?” Aaron pinched her arm coldly.


    Beth raised her pale face numbly.


    “Nowhere.” Beth said dreamily.


    She couldn’t tell Aaron that Karl threw her into the river.


    Karl was her best friend, and she could forgive him.


    Plus, what''s the point of telling him?


    Would Aaron help her?


    He would only try to discredit her in many ways.


    Aaron let go of Beth and sneered.


    Aaron pped his hands, “You really surprised me. Date with Mark in the day and Karl at night.”


    Karl approached Beth and squeezed her chin.


    “You’re really good at seducing men. You''re a good seducer!” Aaron said.


    Beth was so irritated that her eyes turned red. She said subconsciously, “Aaron, don’t sling mud at us.


    We are not filthy as you said. We are meless.”
