Fate has been too unfair to my mother and me. I study hard and work hard, just hoping to have strong wings to protect her one day.
The lack of paternal love, as well as the hatred for my father, has always made me closely monitor their familys dynamics.
Every time I witness my fathers doting on that half-sister, it leaves a bloody mark on me, until I am scarred all over.
At the age of twenty, I saw a tall and sunny boy appear beside that so-called sister.
They walked side by side and laughed, acting intimately.
The boy always wore a shallow smile on his face, like a summer breeze, a warm sun in winter.
A dirty idea sprouted in my heart - her mother took away my mothers man, so I also want to snatch this boy from her side and let her taste the taste of being abandoned!
I followed that boy for three days and finally knew his name - Michael Campbell.
And I know he once stepped forward and saved a girl who was about to be poisoned by a thief.
I took half a months salary and bribed a group of local thugs to extort me on Michael Campbells way home.
I was gambling, gambling with my body.
Betting that Michael Campbell would be brave and save me from the hands of those demons.
Heavy rain, the original time has not yet arrived, the thugs pushed me to the ground.
"You guys stop it!" I shouted helplessly, the rain blurred my vision.
At this time, I realized that the thugs are inhuman!
In the most desperate moment, the boy I had been looking forward to finally appeared.
Michael Campbell drove them away with three punches and two feet, and then took off his coat to cover my body exposed in the air.
He is like every girls dream prince, not riding a white horse but shining all over.
Just one glance, I fell completely, until the end of the world...
Michael Campbell took me back to where he lived and handed me a shirt with the fragrance of lavender.
"Change your clothes quickly, dont catch a cold!"
He opened the family medicine box and skillfully wiped the wounds on my body, and I began to feel ashamed.
He is such a clean and kind boy, but I approached him with a dirty purpose!
When Michael Campbell went to the bathroom to wash, I picked up the wet and old clothes on the ground and ran away from his house in a lowly manner.
He is the star in the sky, and I am just the dust on the ground.
What ability do I have to attract his attention?
Back home, I took off Michael Campbells shirt, washed it with lavender scented soap, and hung it on the balcony.
My mother couldnt see, but when she was folding clothes, she felt that this was a mens shirt.
"Emily, who is he?" I couldnt guess my mothers emotions.
I didnt dare to tell her, I could only make a perfunctory response.
My mother heard that I was lying, and her turbid eyes flowed out of blood and tears.
Since my brother died, every time she cried, the mixture of blood and tears flowed out.
"Emily, dont fall in love too early, you have to be able to protect yourself first..."
My mothers words, my ears have long heard the cocoon.
I understand, she is afraid that I will repeat her tragic love.
Thinking of the seed deep in my heart that has already sprouted, my tears slide down one by one.
"Last night your brother sent a dream to me, he missed dad..."
My mother sighed and changed the subject.
Looking at my mothers low and helpless appearance, my heart is like a knife.
My brother has never seen his father from birth to death.
Is it my mother who is thinking, or is it my brothers last wish?
