Episode 14

Grizelda left that house, dragging her two suitcases behind her. She walked along the street, aimlessly, not knowing where she wanted to go or what she wanted to do.

"Oh yes, I'll visit my mother's grave; I miss her," she said, quickening her pace toward the local cemetery.

After a few minutes, she arrived at the cemetery. There, she approached her mother's grave.

At the grave was her mother’s photograph on the headstone. Grizelda knelt down and wiped the headstone with uncontrollable tears.

"Mother, I've come to see you. Are you happy with my visit? I'm sorry for bringing my sorrow here. Mother... I miss you," wept Grizelda as she hugged the headstone.

"Mother... why did I have a father like him? Why did you marry such a despicable man? If you knew things turned out this way, you surely would hate him too, right? But what can I do now? I no longer have a home to return to. That warm family is gone... there's no place left for me to seek comfort. I miss you so much, Mother," Grizelda continued, tears streaming down her cheeks.

[Do not be sad, Miss. I will always be part of your life.]

"Ah, you're right; I have no need for sadness when I have you who will change my life. All right, I must be strong; I'll get even with everyone who has hurt me!" Grizelda resolved.

"Mother, I have to leave now. May you be happy in the hereafter, and I will surely find my own happiness. Farewell. I'll visit again to see you," said Grizelda, hugging and kissing her mother's headstone with deep longing.

Grizelda stood up, leaving her mother’s grave behind and exiting the cemetery.

"I better look for a place to stay that's not too far from school," said Grizelda.

Grizelda began to look for affordable boarding information near her school.

"Okay, there's one for 400 thousand a month over there. It's 30 meters from the school. I'll check it out now," Grizelda decided, stepping forward.

"Maybe with all this walking, I'll lose weight faster," she mused.

Her weight had dropped to 70 kilograms by now. That was still a bit heavy, ideally, she should weigh around 50 kilograms for her perfect body.

On her way, a couple of people started following her from behind.

"Are they following me? Are they thieves?" Grizelda whispered to herself.

[New Mission]

[Catch two thieves]

[Reward: An advanced holographic laptop]

[Mission status: In Progress]

"Real thieves, what should I do?" Grizelda wondered.

She turned around and positioned her suitcases by the side of the road.

Since Grizelda was staring at the thieves, they pretended to be on the phone, hiding their faces and looking elsewhere.

"He-he-he, you're pretending now, are you?" Grizelda said.

Seconds later, the thieves looked in Grizelda’s direction, but Grizelda had disappeared, leaving only two suitcases behind.

"Hey! Isn't that her suitcase? Let's check it out," one said to the other.

They approached the suitcases with the intent of opening them.
