Her brother's health declined. The doctors suggested pulling the plug. "There's no activity. He won't wake," they told her. Lina sat by his side for hours, praying. Then, she made a decision.
She would sell everything—even herself.
Kai found her about to sign a contract with a man who trafficked women overseas. He screamed, begged her not to. "We'll figure something out! Don't throw your life away!"
But Lina just smiled. "You were the only beautiful thing in my world, Kai. But my brother... he's my whole world."
She left that night.
A week passed. Then two. Kai searched everywhere but never found her again. He posted pictures, asked the police, even sold his bookstore to hire a private investigator. Nothing.
