The next day, with Oogway having something to do, I went to see Jessica alone.

I arrived at the ward. Before I could enter, through the glass at the door, I saw that the outer room of the ward had changed.

The outer room, which had been previously empty, now lay a desk.

On the desk, there lay writing brushes, ink sticks, paper, and inkstones.

At this time, holding a brush in his hands, Kelvin was drawing on a piece of paper.

With the doll in her arms, Jessica watched him on the side carefully.

After standing outside for a while, I pushed the door open and went in.

As soon as the door was pushed open, both of them looked at me at the same time, especially Jessica, whom I hadn't seen for two days.

Looking as skinny as ever, she looked much better.

Seeing me, she grinned.

It meant that she remembered me.

Her eyes looked clear and bright. And she didn't look like a patient at all.

I walked over and held the bag in my hands, "Aunt Jessica, see what I brought to you."

    "Please Reed, I beg you, I've never asked you for anything, and I also know how bad I have been treating you, but please, help me out here, just this once."

    Next day.... Reed woke up with a start as she heard someone banging on the door loudly. "Open this door right now Reed." Her mother yelled from behind the door. Her heart skipped a beat, she thought her parents would have realized that Lita was gone. She hurriedly got down from the bed and rushed to open the door. On opening the door, she was welcomed with Helen's hateful glares. "G.. good morning mother." She stuttered. Instead of replying to her greetings, Helen rewarded her with a slap. "Are you forgetting what day today is?" "Today is your younger sister's wedding? She should be getting ready already, and instead of you waking her up and helping, you are busy sleeping." Helen yelled. Oh no, mother has no idea about Lita fleeing. Reed thought. What should I do? She panicked. "Go prepare breakfast, then go get Lita and help her get ready." Helen said, then turned to leave. Oh no, I have to break the news to mother, we have to leave this morning. Reed ran after Helen. "Mot

    Dave was staring at his bride from the corner of his eyes, he was glad that he'll be getting married to the most beautiful lady in town. "Do you, Lita Defiant, take Dave Mitaka to be your husband?" The priest asked in a loud voice. Reed didn't answer, her heart was beating so fast and she was sweating profusely. Her mother has strictly warned her not to take her veil off until she gets to Dave's home. She was already imagining what Dave will do when he finds out the truth, what will happen to her when he finds out he was married to her, the ugly one and not her beautiful sister. Dave frowned deeply, his bride was taking so much time to answer and it was getting on his nerves, he was a man with little patience. The priest cleared his throat loudly, then he repeated his question. "Do you, Lita Defiant, take Dave Mitaka to be your husband?" Dave nudged her arm, bringing her back to reality. "I I do." Reed stuttered. A small smile appeared on Dave's lips. "Do you, Dave Mitaka,

    The veil fell from Dave's hand when he saw Reed's face. "W.. who are you?" He asked in shock as he moved back a bit. Reed bit the bottom of her lips nervously. She raised her head to look at Dave, and he looked like he'd just seen a ghost, or rather, he'd just seen the most ugliest looking person ever. "I asked you a question, who are you?" He barked, causing Reed to let out a fearful yelp. "Where is Lita? Why are you here instead of her?" "I... I'm her elder sister." Reed stuttered. "What?" Dave said in shock. Reed wasn't surprised that he didn't know her, after all, her parents never allowed her to meet him whenever he comes by. They believe if he sees her, it'll bring them bad luck, so whenever Dave comes to see Lita, Reed was asked to stay in her room and not come out. "S s sister?" "Lita has no sister, who the fuck are you?" "I told you, I'm her elder sister, Reed Defiant." "This is crazy, I can't believe this." "Where's Lita? Why are you here instead of her?" Dave

    Dave grabbed Reed by the waist and pulled her closer to him. Reed let out a fearful yelp, as she struggled to free herself from his hold. "You're not even that beautiful." Dave said, ruining his fingertips down her face. "But that doesn't mean I won't have your body." "And don't even think of struggling, you should only do as you're told, otherwise, you'll regret it, I swear you'll regret it." He said manically. "P.. please." Reed begged, but he pushed her on the bed and got on top of her. She tried pushing Dave off but he slapped her again."Didn't I say you shouldn't dare to struggle." Dave said darkly. "Don't make me order for you to be flogged." He threatened. The thought of getting beaten scared Reed, she had no choice but to give in, all she could do was cry silently. Dave got off her, then he pulled her up. "Strip." He ordered. *W... what?" Reed panicked. "If I have to repeat myself, it'll be with a slap." He barked. Reed's hand went to her back, she was trying to op

    The next day, Reed woke up from the pain, feeling like the lower part of her body had been ripped apart. She couldn't believe what had happened last night.On her wedding night, Dave had treated her as if she was his enemy and took her virginity. What Dave had done had ruined all her previous fantasies.The bed side beside her was already cold. A drop of scarlet blood on the snow white sheet looked particularly irritating.Reed got up and went to the bathroom to take a bath despite her pain. After freshening up, she looked around Dave's room for a new bed sheet and changed the sheets.She then proceeded to walk out of the room heading downstairs.Standing at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor, Reed saw Dave, sitting behind the dining table with a file in his hands as well as having breakfast.The golden sunshine in the morning shone on his side through the half opened window, making him look warm and holy.Over the past years he had been visiting the Defiant family home, R

    Reed squatted in the cormer and said nothing. Because of the pain, her spine was hurting and she was afraid her dad would hit her again which might end up with her breaking her spine.Dave glanced at Reed. To her surprise, a bit of complex emotions flashed through Dave's black eyes.After a long while, he said. "Let's talk about it later."After, the Defiant couple, Lita and Dave sat in the living room.When Mr. Defiant saw Reed, he scolded, "Go upstairs right now.! I'll hit you again if I find you here in the next minute!"Reed saw Lita sitting next to Dave while holding his arm intimately. The two of them held each other's hand with their fingers intertwined.This was how a couple should look like....Enduring the pain, Reed looked at the stairs in front of her which seemed like a tall ladder in the air.Every step she took, the pain from being hit earlier made her sweat. However compared to the physical pain, the psychological one was more painful.Althought she had no idea how thin

    It seemed that Lita and her mother didn't expect Reed to wake up. Although the lamp light was dim, Reed could tell that the looks on their faces were not good.Lita's mother put on a fake smile and asked, "Reed, how is your injury? Do you need to go to the hospital?"If it were in the past, Reed would have been moved. But now she was indifferent.Seeing her indifferent expression, Lita, who certainly knew that Reed had heard all their conversation, interrupted her mother directly. "Mom, you don't have to act anymore. Judging from her tone, she, the wild dog, knows what's going on."'A wild dog.'Hearing Lita call her a wild dog so smoothly, she knew that they must have nicknamed her like that earlier on.'A wild dog?' Reed endured the pain, walked to the empty sofa, and sat down. Then she deliberately said, "Even so, I am a wild dog who has 4% shares."Sure enough, as soon as she said that, Lita's mother understood what she meant. She scolded, "Reed, this family has been raising you

    Soon, we arrived at the floor where Jessica's ward lay. When we went over, a nurse happened to come out of it. Upon seeing us, she greeted Oogway respectfully, "Dean Oogway.""Yes." Oogway nodded and asked, "How's Miss Jessica?"After Jessica was transferred here, Oogway completed the registration for her under the name of Jessica Drake.As for this, I didn't raise any objections about it. Because in my opinion, the Newman Family no longer regarded her as a family member.The nurse replied, "The patient has fallen asleep. I measured her temperature just now. It's normal. This afternoon, we examined her, only to find that she is seriously malnourished. She suffers from a low degree cataract in her eyes. More heinously, there are parasites inside her body. Besides..."Standing there, the nurse told us about the situation of Jessica roughly.Hearing the ins and outs, Kelvin looked serious on the side.Oogway asked, "Can we go in and have a look at her?""Yes. But she has fallen asleep. H

    Kelvin spoke loudly over the phone.Moreover, it was pretty quiet inside the car. Oogway seemed to hear his words and glanced at me out of the corner of his eyes, "Is Mr. Kelvin coming over?"I nodded.Oogway immediately said, "Then I'll arrange a room for him on the top floor of the rehabilitation center.""Well, sorry to trouble you."I was grateful for Oogway's attentiveness.As we were about to arrive home. I suddenly remembered something and said to Oogway, "Can you take me somewhere?""Yes, I can." Oogway nodded.I got an address online and sent it to him.Oogway immediately turned the car around and drove there with me.As he turned the car around, he raised his hand and looked at me with some displeasure, saying, "In the future, wherever you want to go, just tell me directly. You don't have to ask my opinion first. I will always be available for you."I nodded. Only after that did I tell him where I was going.It was a light and textile market selling cloth and hand made craf

    I went up and supported Jessica readily. Fearing that she wouldn't accept it, I said, "Aunt, can I bathe you? By the way... I can bathe your baby too.""It sounds good!" Jessica accepted it happily.All the nurses looked at me with strange looks.Ignoring the looks, I stepped forward and helped Jessica take a bath.The rehabilitation center of the Way Hospital was in a good condition. There was a Jacuzzi. After I finished pouring the water into the bath, I let Jessica sit inside.I cleaned up the doll first. Seeing that, Jessica became quite obedient.I bathed her with scented soap first and then rubbed her with a bath towel little by little.It had been a long time since Jessica took a bath, making her body covered with a layer of shell like and hard skin. Seeing so, I asked Oogway to fetch me some white vinegar. After that, I bathed her bits by bits.Sensing that the water turned cold, I scooped the cold water out with a basin and added hot water in.Because it had been years sinc

    I stood still and said to her, "We won't do that. We... we'll transfer you and your child to a better place. She... She..." I hesitated for a moment and said, "She is all grown up. And she will have to go to school soon. It's not good for her to be here. She has to go to a better place where there are teachers to impart her knowledge, which is good for her."Upon hearing this, Jessica stared at me with her pair of clear and bright eyes as if she had understood my words and suddenly became as obedient as a child, saying, "Really? Is it true that someone will teach her?""Yes, it is true. The teacher is great and experienced. Any child who follows him can learn a lot and become smart." I tried to persuade her.Jessica nodded desperately, "Okay, okay. That will be so great." She looked at the doll in her arm, "Reed, did you hear that? You can learn soon.""Yes, yes." I echoed. And my tears kept falling.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go transfer her to another

    The nurse took us inside and said, "To be honest, before you, nobody visited the patients here. Generally speaking, the reason why people send patients here is that they have a guilty conscience. They are too embarrassed to kill them and yet find them a burden. So they send them here and pay for their stay here to keep their conscience at bay."The more the nurse said, the more upset I felt.It was quiet on the fifth floor as well.I saw that there was a small window on the door of each ward. With the window high up on the door, someone my height couldn't see what was inside.However, Oogway was taller. He looked around with a frown and a dignified look on his face.Seeing him look like this, I was worried."Bang!" When we were going, a sound rang all of a sudden.I was so frightened that I shrank backward and looked at the door where the noise came from, only to find a face attached tightly to the window on the door.The face was black, dirty, and skinny.The pair of eyes above were

    Oogway and I arrived at the gate together.As expected, there was a security guard at the gate . We went over and saw the old security guard laying there in a thick military green overcoat, listening to music.The sound of the music was quite loud.It wasn't until we called him for a long while that he heard us.Looking at us in discontent, the old guard got up and opened the window of the gatehouse, leaving it ajar."Hello, we want to...""No visit is allowed during the New Year."As soon as I opened my mouth, the guard snapped. After that, he closed the window.He was afraid that we would harass him. Then he locked the window from inside.I became anxious all of a sudden.Oogway beside me wasn't in a hurry at all.He reached out, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a stack of pink banknotes before putting them in front of the window.The security guard's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the money. Instead of opening the window, he came out directly from the gatehouse, o

    I glanced at it and found that there seemed to be an inkstone in the first box.But what was different was that the inkstone wasn't black but red.I was confused. However, as soon as the Master of the Newman Family saw this, his hands began to tremble. Placing his hand a few meters away from the inkstone, he seemed to intend to touch it but dared not do so.After a long while, he asked, "Is this for me?""Of course, it is a red silk inkstone I got by chance. I don't know about this kind of inkstones. It will be a waste if I keep it by my side."Oogway said casually.Although he spoke lightly, I could tell that this inkstone should be quite rare."Thank you, Mr. Oogway." When the Master spoke, he had been staring at the inkstone. It wasn't until a long time later that he gently caressed it with his hands.His expression showed that he loved it so much that he couldn't bear to let it go.After that, Oogway said to the maid, "Open this too."Hearing his words, the maid opened the secon

    There was a cold and determined look in his eyes. Confirming that he wouldn't say it, I wouldn't force him further.Moreover, I knew well that I couldn't control what they were going to do.What I could do was to protect Bryan well in case he would get hurt.I nodded lightly, "Okay. Then I'll go and accompany Bryan."As soon as I intended to open the door, Dave directly pulled me from behind with force. I was caught off guard and fell backward.The next second, I directly sat in Dave's arms.My face turned red. And I said, "No." I struggled to get up. However, Dave restrained me firmly in his arms and placed his other hand on my waist. Holding my waist with both hands, he said to me, "Turn around.""No. I'm leaving.""You can't." Dave refused.I closed my eyes, thinking about Oogway's words and my own identity.Although I wanted to be closer to Dave, I couldn't do it with my identity.I was Oogway's fiancee. Regardless of the excuse, the identity, or the reason. I made up my mind,
