I frowned and interrupted her coldly, “Enough! Asterum is so big, am I the only one who’s a successful match with her?! Besides, if you love her so much, why don’t you donate your kidney? Why wait until I’m released from prison?”
Hearing this, my mother flew into a rage. She raised her hand and slapped me hard. “You uneducated bastard! I’m your mother. How dare you talk to me like that? I came here with good intentions to advise you and you’re so ungrateful. Whether you like it or not, Raymond will send someone to take you away tonight. Just wait at home!”
My face instantly swelled up and the pain spread to my heart. I gave a wry smile. “You’re right, I’m uneducated. After all, when I was six, you remarried, leaving me alone in the mountain village and taking care of Melody. Of course, I became a neglected bastard.”
My biological father was killed by a wild beast while hunting. Upon hearing the news of his death, my mother cried for three days and three nights.
Ultimately, she decided to secretly remarry Jackson, a wealthy businessman from Asterum, holding two-year-old Melody.
I was the one left behind. I finally made it to twenty and she brought me to Asterum to live. I thought I’d finally find the family love I so desperately longed for.
But I never expected that the purpose of my existence would be to be Melody’s blood bag. My thoughts returned to my senses and I shoved my guilty-looking mother out.
I turned, slammed the door shut and locked it. She didn’t know that from the moment I was sent to prison, I had completely figured it out. I no longer wanted family affection or warmth. I just wanted to live well.
Ten minutes later, Dominic arrived at the Conner Family’s door. He sent me a message: [Come down.]
I stared at the man leaning against the Rolls-Royce for a few seconds. I took a deep breath, gathered all my belongings and jumped out the window.
Just as I was about to fall, Dominic stepped forward and caught me. The cool scent of cigar smoke enveloped me. For a moment, I felt as if I were back in the day, before his sister’s accident, when we were still friends.
Back then, Dominic always brought me comfort in his own way. He didn’t mind my background or family circumstances and became my close friend. But then he frowned and coldly pushed me away.
