When my grandma quarreled with my mom, although he was not partial, my grandmom always had the upper hand. Moreover, he never gave his salary to my mom, but he asked my mom to keep an account of all the family’s daily expenses at home. Not a single wrong was allowed.
I asked my mom why she married my dad. She said that my dad was a hero who saved her from several gangsters, so she had always been grateful to him.
But after she witnessed my dad's affair, I was afraid that favour no longer existed in my mom's heart.
My grandma didn't know that Silvia was pregnant, so she kept torturing my mom.
"Go to the church tomorrow. You should be more devout this time. When God sees you, he will pay attention to your requirements."
My grandma made trouble from time to time but my father even indulged her.
"Mom is right. Sincerity is the key to success. Let's try again tomorrow."
"Alright."
Surprisingly, my mother agreed, knowing full well that my father would probably kill her.
"I want to go with you!"
I was worried about letting them go out alone, but my dad obviously didn't want to take me with him.
"Louisa, be good. I will take you to the amusement park the day after tomorrow."
Not only my dad but even my mom didn't want to take me with her.
In the evening, when my dad was not around, I hugged my mom and cried out of breath.
"You can't go. He wants to kill you. I don’t want to be a child without a mom! A child without a mom will be bullied by others!"
My mom rubbed my head and promised me.
"Don't worry. I will come back safely. I can't bear to let my baby be bullied by others."
There was a strange look in my mom's eyes. For a moment, I even felt that the person who would fall off the cliff tomorrow might be my dad.
Even though my mom had known my dad’s intention, I was still uneasy.
The next day, when they just left home, I sneaked out and took a taxi to the foot of the mountain with the pocket money I had saved for a long time.
But I was only six years old and I didn’t have a lot of energy. It didn't take long for my legs to go weak and I couldn't walk anymore.
I climbed and rested. When I climbed halfway up the mountain, someone around me shouted in shock.
"Look, someone seems to have jumped off the cliff!"
Passers-by all stopped to look.
I, on the other hand, craned my neck stiffly. When I looked in that direction, there was no sign of the person who had fallen off the cliff.
