Chapter 11
Colton had been looking for Julia for a long time, but there was no news at all.
It was as if she had truly evaporated from the face of the earth.
He worried day and night, hoping to hear news about Julia
But there was only one disappointment after another.
He just sat quietly in that house, not wanting to answer the phone Carly called.
More importantly, there was an added sense of disgust in his eyes.
If it weren’t for this woman, how could Julia have left?
He turned off his phone, not wanting to see any news about Carly.
He rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, hoping to find something left by Julia.
There was nothing
There was only one medical examination report stuffed in the trash bin. Looking at the marks on the paper, how could he not know that Julia had drawn a total of 6 tubes of blood?
But he also knew that Julia was most afraid of pain.
The doctor said that Julia’s body was more sensitive than others.
So, the pain she felt was twice as much as an ordinary person’s
Colton tightly clenched the list, his breath quickened, and scenes from that day flashed through his mind when Julia had already known
She hated him
Hated to leave without leaving anything behind
Even a single message
When I think of the time when I loved Julia the most, I swore to protect her for a lifetime and not let her suffer even a bit.
But now, all of Julia’s pain was brought by him.
He admitted that he regretted it.
Carly called again and again until she heard Colton’s phone shut down.
He angrily threw the phone hard onto the ground.
“Just because of this woman? He didn’t answer the phone for several days!”
In a fit of anger, she ran to the room that originally belonged to Julia.
I always felt that Julia would come back and pack all of Julia’s remaining belongings into a box.
“Take it and burn it for me!”
“From now on, this room belongs to mel” Unable to find her, they burned everything related to Julia..
The nanny who was carrying the box happened to run into Maren who had just returned home.
She immediately recognized the box as Julia’s.
It has been several days since then, and no one has heard from her.
Even though Maren, who he had always ignored, there was always a sense of ominous premonition in his heart.
She reached out and grabbed the person’s arm.
“Put the things there, and don’t bother about it.” Carly has been making a big fuss at home for more than a day or two.
She seemed to have become numb, hearing the same few sentences over and over again.
Instead of
of going u up to comfort Carly right away, I opened the things left behind by Julia in front of me.
She remembered that Julia had come to tidy up once, so she should have taken everything away
What else was left behind?
She opened it with curiosity, and the moment she saw what was inside, she widened her eyes and stood still in astonishment.
Inside were several worn–out dolls and stuffed animals, as well as a notebook.
Slowly opening it, what came into view was crooked and twisted handwriting.
Looking at the date below, it was the year when Julia was ten years old and wrote her diary
“Mom lied to me again, and my sister took away my doll…”
Moving forward, the diary remains at Julia’s age of fifteen. “Mom and Dad no longer believe in me, even though I am their biological daughter. Why don’t they like me?”
“I also understood why Carly deliberately asked me about my childhood, it turns out she wanted to make my parents
She looked at the lines of words, telling of grievances and sadness.
believe her
Π
It seemed like it was her first day getting to know Julla.
Looking at the box with a peace lock still inside, Maren’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and her fingers seemed to tremble as if they were about to lose their grip.
Thoughts flooded in as she put on a safety lock for her daughter when she was born.
If it weren’t for what she saw with her own eyes today, she would have almost forgotten.
I remembered how Julia used to stand shakily in front of me, many times wanting to bring something to Maren’s attention, but always getting interrupted.
Maren tightly clenched the object in her palm, realizing that after all these years, the daughter she had abandoned was her biological
daughter.
When she turned eighteen, she stopped giving Julia an allowance. Every penny was hard–earned by her.
I saw her coming home at three in the morning, and I also saw her finishing work at five o’clock
But she, at that time, had not a trace of feeling.
Looking back now, a feeling of suffocation rises in Julia’s throat. All the suffering she endured was brought upon her by her mother!
She suddenly fell to her knees on the ground, tears uncontrollably streaming down from the corners of her eyes
Every time Maren thinks of Julia’s hesitant expression, she regrets why she didn’t ask more at that time, even if it was just one
