The middle-aged woman had already taken advantage of the moment Edward stood up and placed her bag on the seat. Felicia’s expression instantly changed. She grabbed the woman’s bag and slammed it hard onto the floor.
“What do you think you’re doing? Did I just waste my time talking to you? My friend just got discharged from surgery. Couldn’t you have moved? How can you be so uncivilized? “
Seeing her bag smashed on the floor, the woman got flustered too. Her voice was almost tearful.
“This bag contains fresh eggs from the countryside I brought for my husband to help him recover. You dropped them like that and they must have all broken.”
She awkwardly bent down to open the bag. A strong and fishy odor hit her. Sure enough, the entire bag of eggs had crumbled into a yellow egg soup.
The smashed eggs quickly poured out of the bag amidst the crowd. Everyone around them covered their mouths and hid in their seats.
Edward glanced at it, then turned away, covering his mouth and started vomiting. Seeing this, Felicia kicked the bag far away.
“They’re broken, so be it. They weren’t worth much anyway. I’ll give you the money as compensation. We also bought your seat.”
Felicia spoke as she pulled one hundred dollars from her pocket and tossed it into the egg liquid. The woman picked up each bill from the egg splatter and placed it on the small table in front of Edward.
“Young lady, I don’t want your money. I just want my seat back.”
“Actually, I just had surgery recently. My leg was badly injured and the doctor told me not to stand for long periods of time. My husband fought for this seat for three days and nights straight. I won’t trade it for any amount of money.”
Edward stared at the one-hundred-dollar bill now soaked with egg liquid. With a look of disgust, he pushed the money onto the floor and grabbed Felicia’s hand.
“Forget it, Felicia. I won’t sit here anymore. It’s really dirty and bothersome…”
As he spoke, Edward stood up again. But before he could get up, Felicia stopped him.
“Edward, listen to me. Just sit down quietly.”
Felicia’s eyes softened as she gently ordered Edward back into the seat. The woman’s face instantly twisted with rage.
