A step ahead of Li Dong
The next day just as Mingshen had planned, Jiang Zhen's condition got even worse. He was on bedrest the whole day.
But on the other side, Lihua's 'Talk to me' campaign was faring even better. She didn't know how, but more and more afflicted people were coming to talk to her throughout the day. Some were non-drugs consumers, but the majority of them did consume some or the other form of drugs.
Naturally, she was thrilled. More people meant she could help more of them to come out of the dark and miserable path they had chosen for themselves.
It was when Jiang Hua realized that there were more women just like her. Abandoned and cheated by their husbands and who abused them.
There was one such woman in her early twenties who sobbed as she narrated how her boyfriend cheated on her with his coworker. Since then, she had been drinking alcohol and sleeping pills to forget about her boyfriend. She was trying hard to mend things with him and even change herself to make him come back.
