”Sienna!” Eugene saw that Sharon was about to pass out and quickly supported her.“Sienna, What’s… What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?” Autumn was very anxious and came over to look at her daughter, heartbroken.Sharon nearly fainted and her consciousness was slightly hazy, but when she saw her brother’s and mother’s faces appearing before her, she immediately snapped out of it and became alert.“Are… Are you my mother?” She still could not believe that her biological mother would appear in front of her.“My dear daughter, can you finally forgive me? Are you willing to acknowledge me?” At that moment, Autumn’s eyes looked vibrant as she gazed at Sharon with anticipation.Mixed emotions were dwelling in Sharon’s chest. It seemed like she was muttering to herself, “Are you really my mother… but they said you went crazy…”Perhaps it was her comment that agitated Autumn. The woman who had appeared normal suddenly tensed her facial features, yelling, “Who said that I’m craz
She picked up the test tube and took a whiff of the liquid inside. This thing... It could not be regarded as perfume, but it was a specific step one would reach while making perfume.How could her mother even make this if she was crazy? If she could reach this step, it showed that she still had moments with a clear frame of mind.“Sienna…” Eugene chased after her.Autumn began to freak out once more after finally calming down. She anxiously stood in front of her daughter to protect her, treating her son as an enemy instead.“Get out! Don’t get any closer to my daughter!”Eugene knew very well what his mother would be like when her sickness overtook her. He would not be able to communicate with her at the moment. Hence, he merely ignored her and looked at Sharon instead while saying, “Get over here. We have to leave this place.”Sharon’s eyes met Eugene, and it seemed like she had made a decision earlier on. She said, “I want to bring Mom out of here, Brother.”Eugene’s pupils im
Inside the Newton household’s living room, the atmosphere was dim and everyone sat down without saying a word.After quite some time, Quinn was the first to speak. His murky eyes stared at Sharon coldly as he asked, “How did you break into Bamboo Garden?”The Bamboo Garden he spoke of was the place Sharon and Eugene’s mother was locked up. She heard that the area used to be a bamboo forest. Later, they got rid of most of the trees after she moved in.Sharon had not fully recovered her senses just yet. She never expected to meet her mother in this manner.“It was the Pomeranian who brought me in there,” she said in a low voice.The Pomeranian was their mother’s only companion, and it would occasionally run out to look for food.Many people from the Newton household had seen that dog before. They had all received orders from Kelly to give the dog some food if they saw it, but no one was allowed to harm it.Everyone thought that the dog came in from the outside and never pondered t
Sharon stared at Eugene’s injured forehead, and she could feel her anger cooling down slowly.Perhaps it was because he had witnessed the death of his eldest brother at the hands of their own mother, hence the reason why Eugene agreed to his grandfather’s decision in locking her up.However… Their mother was so kind toward her, and she was nothing like someone who would kill their big brother. Not to mention, when they first met, her mother had kept asking her for forgiveness as well…Could it be that her mother showed a better attitude toward her because she felt guilty for abandoning her in the past?She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. There was an endless struggle in her heart. She wondered if she should be saving her mother out of that place.Eugene seemed to be able to see through the conflict in her heart. They were still siblings, after all, and he used to be conflicted like her as well.“Sienna, Grandpa and I have our reasons for locking her up. On the one hand,
Upon hearing this, Sharon placed her hands down and raised her head to look at the man’s deep, obsidian eyes.For some reason, the moment she laid her eyes on him, grievance and sadness started surging uncontrollably inside her chest. Her eyes began to feel burning hot, and tears flowed down her cheeks.The sight of this immediately frightened Simon. He merely said a single sentence, and his tone was not at all fierce. Why on earth was she crying?Before he could say anything, the woman abruptly leaped over and hugged his waist. She buried her face into his abdomen and began to cry.Simon was even more at a loss at this point. How could he have the heart to raise his voice at her now?“Why are you crying? I wasn’t scolding you.” Although, he was still displeased at her for not answering his calls.As soon as he asked this, the woman started crying even louder.“Who bullied you? Tell me their names.” The only thing Simon could think of now was that someone had bullied her earlier
Her tears flowed into the corners of her mouth, yet he ultimately swallowed all of her salty yet bitter tears. Slowly, she felt that her breathing had become one with him. Even the rhythm of their heartbeats was falling into sync... Then, she subconsciously wrapped her hands around his strong waist.While she was in a daze, he had pressed her onto the sofa. His kiss shifted from her lips to her eyes, and he ultimately kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes little by little.At this moment, she felt nothing but his tenderness, and the sorrow in her heart was slightly relieved by him.His lips distanced themselves from hers after a while. Then, he placed his hands on the sides of her face as he lowered his head to look at her.“You’re not allowed to break up with me, or I’ll be the first to go crazy.” His voice was extremely hoarse.Sharon was slightly gasping for air as she stared at the devastatingly handsome man without blinking. Frankly speaking, she felt immensely
On the soft, huge bed, the two were just done with their activity.Sharon lay still on the bed, her dark hair spread over the pillow. The blanket was covered up to her waist at the moment, exposing her fair back.Simon supported his head with one hand, lying on his side as he looked at her. He raised his eyebrows and curled his lips slightly as he asked, “Would you like to get up?”The woman languidly lay on her stomach, replying, “I don’t wanna move. I’m so tired…”Seeing her bright appearance, the man narrowed his eyes as he gently held her hand. Then, he gently kissed the back of her hand, asking, “Is your mood all better now?”“No…”He leaned in front of her and raised her chin again. “You’re not allowed to think about those things ever again. I’ll allow you to use me to ease yourself, but you cannot say that you’re breaking up with me. Do you understand?”She raised her eyes to look at him, and a trace of astonishment flashed across her heart. It turned out he knew about ev
Was that not Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem on everything in life being fleeting and short-lived? Moreover, judging from how her mother was digging through the dirt, why did it look like she was burying the short-lived flowers?As soon as she tried to approach her mother, the Pomeranian dashed toward her and started barking. It seemed that the dog had recognized her and was wagging its tail at her.The dog’s barking caught Autumn’s attention. She turned and saw Sharon’s appearance. A smile appeared across her face. Then, she stood up to greet her, saying, “You came to visit Mom, Sienna?”She wanted to hold her daughter’s hand but found that her hands were currently dirty from the dirt, so quickly retracted them. She was afraid of dirtying Sharon.Sharon stared at her mother for a while and thought that her mother could indeed recognize her own daughter.“What are you doing, Mom?” she asked cautiously.“Oh… You see, the fallen flowers are so pitiful, so I’m trying to give them a bu
