“Alice, since this is your seat, you decide. Tell me, should Daisy have it, or that disgusting old woman?”
I glanced at Daisy. She was clutching her stomach and wailing in her seat. "Larry, it's hurt ... it hurts so bad.”
Without waiting for my answer, Larry stepped forward and started shoving the woman sitting in my seat.
"What are you still doing here? Get up! Can't you see my friend is in pain? She needs to lie down! Get out! Get out now!"
The woman rubbed her knees and glanced in my direction.
When he saw this, Larry pushed her even harder.
‘What are you looking at? That’s my girlfriend! I have the final say in her affairs! Get up! I'm warning you, I'm losing my patience. Don’t force me to fight you!"
After dating Larry for eight long years, he had never been so considerate toward me.
When I thought about how he had killed me and my unborn child for Daisy in my previous life, I shoved him away from the woman.
“Who told you that you are in charge of my affairs? This is my seat. I decide who sits here. Today, this seat belongs to this lady! No one is taking it from her!"
Larry stared at me in utter shock.
"Alice, are you crazy? She's just some stranger we met on the train. Are you really fighting me over a seat for a stranger?”
"Let me set you straight, Larry. I’m not fighting you for your seat. This seat was mine to begin with."
A mocking smile touched Larry's lips.
"Alice, what’s the point of playing word games now? Didn’t you see Daisy has a stomachache? All she wants is to lie down."
"If she wants to lie down, she should buy a sleeper ticket. This is a hard seat—you can’t lie down here."
"Not this again? Can you stop acting so angry whenever Daisy gets involved? I’ve told you countless times, we’re just friends. Can you please stop being so petty?”
People really do laugh when they are speechless.
“Larry, are you out of your mind? You guys snatched my seat first, okay? I was only defending my rights, so why is it suddenly my fault?”
"Larry, it hurts so much, I can’t take it anymore, Larry …."
Daisy's tearful moans instantly sent Larry into a frenzy and he did not care to argue with me anymore.
He shoved me aside with brute force, grabbed the woman by the collar and flung her out .…
Since he used a considerable amount of strength this time, when my back slammed into the armrest of the opposite seat, a sharp, piercing pain shot through my spine.
