Chapter 43 A Useless Thing

• “ I am a little tired, Betty. My body hurts and I need to have a rest.” Betty is stunned. “ Are you asking me to leave? We are friends. I am here to visit you and care about you.” “ I know you care about me. I thank you so much.” Seeing her disappointed eyes, I do not want to say anything hurtful. I change my words. “ I mean I am tired and hungry now. Can you get me something to eat? I need your help.”
• Betty is face looks happier. She smiles and says, “ Fine. Wait for me.” Seeing her running away to fetch me food, I forgive her for envying me and Cody. Maybe she is not that bad and she is still my friend. She hurts me sometimes only because she desires for Cody is love. It is not her fault. Every woman may make this mistake.
• I sigh and lie on the bed. It seems that something has stuck in my throat and chest, so I can not hardly breathe. I do not know what my feeling is now. I know that I am unhappy, but why am I unhappy? What should I do now? I think I need to talk to someone but it is difficult to find an appropriate person. Betty envies me. Lily is Cody is sister and she tries to let me and Cody get along well with each other. Maren is Betty is friend, so she may not stand in my shoes. As for Maren is master Jordy... He is a prince and may not want to listen to me complaining about his brother and an unknown slave. Who else can I talk to? I have only been here for a few days and I have a few friends. Suddenly, I think of a person. Alger!
