Matthew's face no longer had the calmness it had before. He wanted to help her regain her sobriety, face reality, find a way to solve it instead of giving up to the point of self-torture.Anna sat down on the ground, and Matthew pulled her up, making her face him.

Eventually, everything had to come to pass. Anna slowly regained her composure, her head throbbing with pain and it seemed like there was blood on her head! Her hair was matted together in a very messy and disheveled way, but she managed to force a smile on her lips. That was her father, after all!

She saw the owner with flour-covered hands and chuckled: "Playing with medicine, not drinking... gets scolded..."The owner looked up, and Anna shyly pulled her mother's hand back, smiling awkwardly at the owner: "I'm sorry, this is my mother..."She wanted to say something more, but she couldn't bring herself to tell this stranger that her mother was mentally ill. She felt guilty beyond measure, her mother was a very kind person who couldn't be described in words. Her mother had sacrificed her entire life for Anna's
