Her left cheek was badly swollen, and her normally luscious long hair was tousled from the fight just now. She looked at me tearfully. "No, Sarah! I don't want to lose my respect for you!"

The pain and humiliation I experienced from the beatings and the cursing gradually faded away. Only Hatty's determined gaze was left in my mind. I slowly got up and addressed the haughty Susan, "Pardon me. I cannot possibly accept this generous 'gift' from you!" "Hah! What a clown! Are you trying to fight back?"
