---- Chapter 10 I was rendered speechless when I heard that Eliza and Carl had already gotten married. Nevertheless, I expected as much. "Why did you still want to kill me, then?" I asked. Carl became even more agitated. "Because you showed up again! Why did you come here to volunteer as a teacher? Eliza was on the verge of accepting me, but everything got ruined because of you! I hate you!" he roared. "T don't understand. How am I not better than you? How am I any worse off when it comes to my looks or my family background? Why is it that you're the one she wants?" I listened as Carl kept screaming and venting his frustrations. Finally, when he was panting from exhaustion, I replied curtly, "It's because you made her your entire world and lost your own identity." No one would cherish those who didn't live for ---- themselves. The next day, Carl was taken into police custody. He was going to prison for his crime. Due to this incident, his college revoked his academic credentials, and he was even blacklisted from the industry. Eliza also insisted on divorcing him. Later on, an infectious disease broke out among the children in the village. Eliza became so busy that she didn't even have the time to come and look for me. We were like strangers who were once barely acquainted. However, when she was thoroughly exhausted, she would come to my room in the middle of the night and fall asleep at the door. It was as if she wanted to seek a little solace. All I could do was pretend I didn't know this was happening. Due to the inadequacies of the medical facilities in the village, it took three months before the disease was finally eradicated. Allin all, the situation felt pretty decent to me. Eliza ---- was in charge of saving lives, and I was in charge of providing the children with an opportunity to learn. We were both serving our community and doing our duty for society. No one could disparage us for that. Alas, I didn't expect Eliza to end up getting bashed in the head by a parent of one of the village children. "You act like you're saving lives when what you're really doing is killing our children!" An angry mob bellowed at Eliza, demanding that she pay for the loss of a child's life. I rushed forward in an attempt to save her, but these people were too angry to be reasoned with. "If you insist on defending her, Mr. Harper, then don't blame us for not going easy on you!" "Maybe he's been having an affair with her!" The crowd attacked Eliza and me with bats. I didn't know how much time had passed before a few people finally pulled me back onto my feet. I shook my head to indicate I was fine, but when I turned around to look at Eliza, she was unconscious.
