When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I frowned slightly and asked, “Why did you think of working in the Imperial Hotel?”

She lowered her head and explained, “I came here alone. All I can do was to fill up my stomach so I can live. I’ve said it before. Some children who came to the city in the past returned, but some didn’t. For those who didn’t, they were either dead or became the toys of the customers in Imperial Hotel. I wanted to live, so I had no other choice.”

I asked, “What is the name of your friend? How old is he?” How depressing… Could it be that Armond forces them to work in the Imperial Hotel?
