Per them, they would spend their whole lives repaying me once I got out of prison.
I felt sorry for my parents and wanted to help Asher.
So, I ruined myself.
I suffered in prison for four years.
I thought the hard days were over. I thought I could enjoy the affection of my family, but what awaited me was their disdain, indifference, rejection, and betrayal.
The family for whom I gave everything turned out to be a group of ungrateful persons!
"Julia, the past is over. Don't keep mentioning it."
Asher spoke as he furrowed his brows.
"While you were in prison, our lives were not easy. The whole family was shamed because of you. The neighbors pointed at us and judged us. We couldn't hold our heads up."
"Now that you're back, who knows what those people will say behind our backs if you live at home."
"You only think about your grievances, but have you ever thought about us? If you live at home, what will happen to my son? Are you going to let him live with a convict from birth and suffer discrimination from others?"
Asher's words made me tremble all over.
I had ruined myself to protect Asher at all costs.
It turned out that he had such thoughts in his mind!
I couldn't be more disappointed. The last trace of illusion about my family was shattered.
I looked at him and sneered.
"Asher, it was you who drove drunk and killed the couple! It was also you who brought shame to the whole family!"
"I am innocent. I took the blame for you and went to jail for you!"
"Anyone can look down on me as a prisoner, except you, Asher!"
"If you were a real man, you should have taken the initiative to confess your crime! Instead, you are now enjoying my sacrifice, occupying my house, and despising my identity as a prisoner!"
"Asher, ask yourself, do you have a conscience?"
