I was unhappy and threw the gift that my mother had prepared to the ground. "You promised me that you would celebrate for me! But you didn't keep your word."

My dad slapped me angrily. "Isn't it more important to take care of Alice than to eat with you?"

"You're 18 years old but you are not mature at all."

At that time, I felt unprecedentedly wronged.

I glared at him and ran out with my face covered.

My mom called my name from behind and wanted to catch up.

I deliberately stayed at the gate of the community for a long time, but no one came to find me.

"You don't want me! Then I'll go!" I left home alone without bringing anything with me.

Fortunately, my friend treated the hungry me to a barbecue.

I complained for a long time. "My dad doesn't love me, and my mom doesn't love me either."

"I wish I weren’t their daughter!"

After I said a few harsh words, I saw my mother standing behind me. It was rare for her to look so embarrassed. "Joyce! At least tell me where you are!"

"I have been looking for you for a long time."

My eyes welled up with tears when I saw the dirt on her white leather shoes and the stains on the hemline of her skirt.

I threw myself into her arms and burst into tears. "I thought you didn't want me anymore!"

"I've waited at the door for a long time!"

I cried pitifully, and my mother looked apologetic. "I'm sorry. I'm late!"

"I won't make you sad in the future!"

"You are my sweetheart! You will be happy and carefree for the rest of your life!"

"I will celebrate your birthday and celebrate all the important events in your life."

But she soon broke her promise.

A car rushed towards us, and a few people with fierce eyes rushed over to take us to the car.

When I opened my eyes again, I was told that my mom was gone.

I didn't understand. "Where is she? Where's my mom?"

They looked at me and shook their heads. "I’m sorry!"

My dad came over and slapped me to the ground. "You bastard!"

"How many times have I told you not to wander around at night, but you insisted on going out?"

"If it weren't for you, how could your mother have died!"

There was a roar in my ears.

I looked at him blankly and murmured, "Mom..."

The next moment, tears streamed down my face.

I sat on the ground and cried, "Impossible! Mom said that she would stay with me forever!"

No one had a chance to regret anything.

I had never seen my mother again.
