Chapter 514: Stench
Chapter 514: Stench
The man’s cursing was particularly piercing.
Unstoppable even across the supermarket.
Thea Shaw approached the entrance and noticed many people on the roadside staring in one direction.
She followed their gaze and saw the woman from earlier, clutching her head, while a drunken man reached out to hit her.
At this moment, it didn’t look heavy, but the action was deeply humiliating.
He would push the woman’s head whenever he spoke a word, causing her body to sway from side to side.
She remained silent and did not resist, only covering her head.
As if she had grown numb from being hit.
As a normal person, Thea Shaw found herself getting angry seeing such a situation.
Many around showed looks of unwillingness, but being a domestic violence incident, and involving the local old residents, everyone knew intervention was only temporary.
Until the man’s strikes grew heavier, knocking the woman down, preparing to stomp on her.
Thea Shaw picked up a bottle of mineral water and hurled it at the man’s head.
With a "bang," it landed right on his forehead.
Struck, the man immediately raised his head, full of fury, pausing when he saw Thea Shaw, but realizing she had hit him, his anger flared: "Are you crazy? You threw water at me?"
"So what? Isn’t it normal to throw something at someone you find offensive?"
Thea Shaw crossed her arms, looking at the man with eyes full of disdain: "What kind of loser hits a woman? Obviously, one who’s useless and will remain nothing more than a eunuch for the rest of his life."
The surrounding crowd watched as the young girl intervened, immediately cheering quietly.
The woman, hearing someone standing up for her, was surprised and looked at her twice.
Unlike others’ reactions, facing this woman now, Thea Shaw smelled even stronger decay—
Not just from one person.
She looked closely and realized it was coming from the man too.
Could both of them be sick?
Thea Shaw was somewhat surprised.
"Damn it, why do you care?"
What Thea Shaw said further enraged the man, who cared only for his own manly dignity without reason, picking up the water bottle and throwing it back.
Thea Shaw dodged, and the bottle landed right at her feet.
Thea Shaw was immediately furious: "Oh, you still dare to hit me!"
She then addressed the surrounding people: "Uncles and aunts, as you can see, he struck first, this is self-defense!"
After saying this, she rushed at the man, catching him off guard and kicking him several yards away!
Those who were going to help: "..."
Uh, wasn’t it this young girl who acted first just now?
Is this entrapment, right?
Of course, they pretended they didn’t see a thing.
"Ah—ptooey."
The man was kicked to the ground, mouth full of dirt, spitting out saliva, looking at Thea Shaw, while the intense pain in his abdomen made him want to curse but dare not utter a word.
The woman was stunned too.
Being beaten by the man every day had made her numb.
Previously, neighbors would stand up to help, but after a few trips to the police station, man’s written guarantees were meaningless.
Unexpectedly, today a young girl came forward to help her.
Her eyes suddenly reddened, tears welled up inside her eyes, she had believed such days were over, there was no ray of light, but she recently felt she couldn’t hold on any longer.
Right then, Thea Shaw walked over, her voice as gentle as water: "Are you okay, auntie?"
The woman felt warmth in her heart as she listened, her lips quivering to speak when suddenly the foul smell emitting from herself came to mind.
She instantly stiffened all over.
Could she not smell it?
