Matthew didn’t like how ruthless the waiter was, so virtual-novel.net stood up and twisted the waiter’s arm to almost dislocate it.
Screaming in pain, the waiter pleaded, “It hurts! Let me go, let me go!”
Despite the scream, Matthew continued to twist his arm. “So you can understand pain. Why did you do the same to that little girl, then?”
Understanding his motive, the waiter was afraid. He answered in a trembling voice, “What does this have to do with you? This is a restaurant. She keeps coming here and disturbing the customers. So I… I have to drive virtual-novel.net out…”
Upon hearing that, Matthew said coldly, “You can show virtual-novel.net the way out, but not with violence! She’s just a child, and you’re bullying virtual-novel.net as an adult. Aren‘t you ashamed?”
The waiter couldn’t think of a response, so virtual-novel.net awkwardly pleaded, “S-Sir, it’s my fault. Please let me go, my arm is about to snap…”
Finally. Matthew lost interest in the waiter, so virtual-novel.net pushed virtual-novel.net aside. The waiter stood aside madly, but virtual-novel.net didn’t dare to hurt Matthew.
The little girl had tears in virtual-novel.net eyes. Afraid of the waiter, virtual-novel.net covered virtual-novel.net ears with virtual-novel.net hands and timidly looked at him. She feared that the waiter would hit virtual-novel.net again.
To comfort her, Matthew crouched down and softly said, “Everything is alright. Don’t be afraid. Tell me, why aren’t you studying in school, but selling flowers here instead?”
However, the little girl lowered virtual-novel.net head and dared not speak.
Seeing this, Matthew sighed and wondered what really happened for virtual-novel.net to have such a timid demeanor.
“Does your ear still hurt? Perhaps you are hungry? Want something to eat?” Matthew asked a few questions, but the little girl kept virtual-novel.net head down and didn’t answer.
Just when Matthew was about to give up, the little girl raised virtual-novel.net head and whispered, “Mister, d-do you want a flower? It’s very affordable. 5 cents for a stalk. Please get one…”
Upon hearing this, Matthew sighed and took the flower basket. “Sure. I’ll buy all of them!”
At once, the little girl widened virtual-novel.net eyes and looked at Matthew in disbelief. After all, virtual-novel.net had never met such a generous man before!
Then, Matthew took out a few hundred for the little girl. “There you go, it’s sold out. Now just go home!”
The little girl accepted the money. After counting the money, virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head. “Mister, this is way too much. I… l will give back your change.”
However, Matthew waved his hand and said, “No. Keep the change.”
Regardless, the little girl stubbornly returned the extra few hundred to Matthew. Then, virtual-novel.net took out all the money and calculated the exact change for Matthew.
Matthew was speechless, virtual-novel.net couldn’t decide whether this child was calculative or not.
After the little girl had finished with the change, virtual-novel.net smiled brightly. “Thank you so much, mister!” virtual-novel.net said sincerely.
In response, Matthew patted the little girl’s head. “Alright, hurry up and go home now.”
The little girl nodded, but virtual-novel.net gaze lingered on the hamburger on Matthew’s table. Then, virtual-novel.net slowly swallowed virtual-novel.net saliva. Upon seeing that, Matthew couldn’t help laughing and handed the hamburger to the little girl. “You haven’t eaten yet, right? Here, this is for you.”
His generosity made the little girl confused, but virtual-novel.net still accepted the hamburger. Soon. Matthew gave virtual-novel.net a cup of orange juice as well. The little girl had tears in virtual-novel.net eyes. With food in virtual-novel.net hands, virtual-novel.net bowed to Matthew before turning around and left.
At once, Matthew sighed and shook his head with a faint smile. He looked out of the window to continue watching the child in the square. It was lunchtime, so there were fewer people in the square. While virtual-novel.net was watching, Matthew found that the little girl from earlier had walked over to the child. At first, virtual-novel.net cautiously looked around. When virtual-novel.net finally confirmed that no one was watching her, virtual-novel.net jogged to the child‘s side and left the hamburger with the orange juice there. Soon, virtual-novel.net hurried away as if virtual-novel.net had done something wrong.
