Chapter 4 I knelt down and kowtowed to the people in the hospital <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I struggled to the door, opened the door and lay on the big bed where I slept for three years. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I fell asleep… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had a dream. I dreamt that twelve years ago, the first time when I met Sean, I was only 10 years old. I went to an unfinished construction site near the orphanage. . <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was winter, and there was no one on the construction site. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There, I met Jeff, who was covered with sores and at the gate of death. I called him for a long time but he didn’t respond. I thought he was dead. When I was going back to the teacher in the orphanage, I heard he say in a weak voice, “Save me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At that time, I was thin, and I used a construction tricycle push him out of the construction site and took him to the nearest hospital. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Because I didn’t have money, the people in the hospital refused to save him. I had to kneel down and kowtow to beg them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Finally, a young doctor called the vice president and agreed to send him to the operating room. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I waited outside. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Later, he woke up and asked my name, said that he remembered me and he would come back to me later. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
However, dreams are dreams, not reality. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The reality was that Sean Jessop woke up but I was not allowed to enter the ward but could only look at him from outside. After a while, a group of men in black suits came and transferred him to another hospital. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The bed passed by me, he saw me and smile to me, and gently grabbed my clothes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
That was our last meeting. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But that smile, was printed in my heart, even after twelve years, it was still fresh in my memory. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I woke up and found that tears soaked the whole pillow. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was dark outside the window. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was thirsty and hungry. At the moment my body was not so painful so I want to go to the kitchen to drink a glass of water. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Listening to the outside, I thought they should fall asleep. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
However, when I just walked to the stairs and heard the voice of Molly from the living room: “How long will she stay? You promised me that room would clean out for my clothes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I was curious about why she didn’t came to Jessop’s house with Sean, I heard my mother say, “Don’t worry, I will try to make her sign the agreement tomorrow and sent her packing. For the 4% of the stock, you should bear it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Four percent of the stock? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If it was about me, I don’t know that. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But soon, Molly said the answer, “Be really of, just for the 4 percent of the stock that Grandma said, you pick her back. Four percent is not much, and it can’t change into money. I still have to call her sister and pretend to be a good sister.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Do you think that I don’t feel sick to see her? She is rustic. Every time she ate as if she never had a meal in her whole life. There is no rice left in her bowl. Every time a guest comes to our house, I feel ashamed of her.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Quite right. I gave her some clothes that I won’t dress, the she was so happy as if she pick a treasure. I’m really ashamed to say that she is my sister. I am really happy to see her being beaten today.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“All right, when she wakes up tomorrow morning, I will let her sign the agreement. With the wedding, your grandmother won’t blame us. I stood upstairs, listening to Molly and my mother’s words, holding the handrails of the stairway and shaking very badly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I ate my meal completely, because the dean of the orphanage said that the people who made the meal would be very happy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Most of the clothes Molly gave me I don’t like. But I am afraid that she would be disappointed and I have no other clothes to wear, so every time I will be grateful to accept her clothes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In order to prevent the Charles family from hating me, in addition to the tuition fees funded by the orphanage, the living expenses are earned by my own work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It turned out that my family, who I put in my heart and treasured carefully, was such a cold-blooded thing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Just for a four percent stake. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And a well-planned substitute marriage is just an excuse to kick me out of the Carter family. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I am the only one who had a dream of family affection stupidly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So a family can be so terrible. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I bit my lip hardly and tried to control my bad emotions. I limped down and asked, “So it’s the truth?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
