“But, you have to figure out if I, Michael Luther, is that obedient donkey who allows others to push me around as they like? Do you think it’s enough to push me around using a mere carrot as bait?"The slender legs strode two steps forward leisurely. In the blink of an eye, he was already standing in front of Old Master Stewart, looking at him face to face. Old Master Stewart was old now. He back had hunched naturally. Michael lowered his eyes, and his dark eyes fell teasingly on Old Master Ste
The woman sleeping on the couch was restless. Not long after, a row of fine beads of sweat seeped out of her forehead.In her dream.One moment it was the scene of her childhood life in the Dunn's old residence when her grandpa was still around; another moment, it was the scene of her prime year when she was eighteen years old and the center of all attention.The scene changed, and she saw herself in a wretched state. She was getting shackled and thrown into jail.The next moment, it was the
At that time, her brother turned his nose up at her and said, "Cheh, it’s just losing a fight, isn’t it? What's so great about that? I fight a lot too. Otherwise, why do you think I have a medical kit hiding under my bed?" Having said that, he held her up by the collar and threw her out of the door without giving her the chance to explain herself. Then, he slammed the door shut.Back then, as a girl in the family and as a girl lacking her parents’ love, she was very jealous of her brother. Look
Jane stood in front of the plain white door. After standing there for a very long time, she finally reached out and pushed the door open."I’m not eating." On a hospital bed in the ward, Jason could be described as withered. These days, he had been living in anxiety. His desire to live had brought about his struggle with his illness.However, it just hurt so much. Day by day as time went by, he was becoming more and more desperate.He was struggling with illness and despair. He wanted to live
Jane ignored Jason's sharp and mean words. Her fingertip was simply stroking gently. She ignored Jason completely and went on saying."When Grandpa was still around, he watched me as I grew up.”"Are you going to brag to me again about how Grandpa loved you more? Jane, Grandpa is long gone. You don't have a grandpa who spoils you so much anymore."The woman ignored those harsh words again and went on saying, "I envied you a lot at that time.“Mom and Dad loved you and doted on you. I was sti
Jane asked Jason who was sitting in front of her, "Do you still remember the words you said when you were fighting?"Jason's eyes flickered.Jane continued."You said, ‘I am the only one who can bully my little sister, no one else can’."The woman finished her statement.On the bed, Jason pursed his pale lips even harder now."From then onward, I didn't hate you so much anymore because I knew that not only did Grandpa love me, it turned out that I had a brother who would protect me too."
"Because Grandpa’s the only one I have. I know that Grandpa’s love comes at a price, but I’m not tired of it. Only when Grandpa passed away did I learn the truth, and I’m still lying to myself."There was a flicker in her eyes that Jason could not comprehend. It was just too complicated. "I’d rather lie to myself than to have never received any love and care at all."Jason's pupils shrank instantaneously. At this moment, more than a decade later, he was once again in so much pain for his siste
"What... do you mean?" Jason froze. Next to his bed, Jane turned around and walked away. He made a grab for her arm. "Have… Have you really found a suitable bone marrow donor?"His gaze was fixed at the woman next to the bed. At this moment, his heart was about to leap out. Jane lowered his eyes, and her gaze met Jason's... Nervousness, anxiousness, anticipation, and hope.Hope of survival.A trace of gentleness was flowing out of her lips. It was dazzling to look at. "Yes, I found a donor. Y
