I knew why she called me. Without thinking for a second, I blacklisted Inez’s number. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But soon, Marlin called me. I still blacklisted it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was very determined. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
No matter who pleaded, I would not let her go. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She killed my baby. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was just about to enter the community when I heard someone calling me, “June!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then my hand was held. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I turned around and saw Inez. She smiled at me and said kindly, “June, long time no see. You’re thin.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin was behind her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He also flattered me with a smile and a bag in his hand. I recognized it as a bag. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What’s the matter?” I looked at them deadpan. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
These two people had nothing to do with me for a long time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“We haven’t seen you for a long time. We want to see how you are doing.” Inez’s hand had been holding my arm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She was holding tight as if she was afraid I would run away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin added, “Yeah, we all miss you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You miss me?” I found his words ridiculous. “In order to cheat my shares, you beat me hard on the day I went home. Now you miss me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin was very embarrassed. But after you said a lie, you had to say countless lies to cover it up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even if you knew the lie had been exposed for a long time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin smiled awkwardly. “June, I did something wrong. Forgive me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“That’s it. I went back and scolded him for a long time.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Inez added. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They hit me and set me up. They could forget but I couldn’t. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I glanced at them and said, “since I left home that day, I don’t want to go back. You are no longer my parents.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that, I wanted to get rid of Inez’s hand and go back to the community. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Inez was holding on to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin lost patience. When he heard me say that, he immediately became serious. He took my other hand and said, “June, don’t go too far! You have to withdraw!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at Marlin. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why? Carter Family raised you for three years! You have to withdraw the lawsuit!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“And we gave birth to you! Molly is your sister. It’s so heartless of you to do it!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They kept saying. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
One said they raised me for three years. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
One said they gave birth to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at Marlin and said, “you didn’t give me money when I was in Carter Family. My tuition was sponsored by the people in the orphanage. My living expenses were earned by working. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Some of the painting materials needed for design were very expensive. I worked all the time except sleeping, class and homework. I hadn’t had a couple of Carter Family’s meals. I just lived in Carter Family for three years.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin was speechless. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I supported myself in those three years. I didn’t ask Carter Family for money. I wanted to please Marlin and Inez and let them think that they didn’t have to pay for me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I just wanted a little affection. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But they lied to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“So what! You belong to Carter Family. You can’t sue your sister!” Inez said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Then why did she sue me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I asked Inez. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this time, the security guard not far away saw us and came over. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He recognized me and asked, “what’s the matter?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Family affairs.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin answered first. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said immediately, “I don’t know them! Please call the police!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as the security guard heard that I wanted to call the police, he immediately said to the two people, “let go!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They didn’t want to. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The security guard came to help me. He was so strong that he separated me from them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thanked him and left. The security guard stopped them. I heard him say, “I’ll call the police if you make any more trouble!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Later, Marlin and Inez did not catch up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I used to think that security was very strict, but I found that only with such security can I live in peace. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although he drove Inez and Marlin away this time, I couldn’t rest assured. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Other relatives of Carter Family had called me several times. These people and I had never been in touch before. I answered the phone without knowing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t know it was them until I answered the phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I lived in Carter Family for three years, and these people didn’t talk to me. Let alone our relationship. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But now they all came to me for Molly’s sake, hoping I could reconcile with Molly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was impossible. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hung up and blacklisted the numbers. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I only cared about one person in Carter Family. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At last Sherry called me in person. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I got Sherry’s call, I couldn’t help but worry. I had to answer her call. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sherry asked me how I was. She asked me if I was free at night and asked me to eat at home. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although I knew what she was going to say, I couldn’t refuse so I agreed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
That night I went to Sherry’s house without changing my clothes after work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought there would be a lot of people. When I got to the door and saw the car at the door, I realized that there was no one else except Sherry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I got in, Sherry took me and said, “you’re thin. You didn’t take good care of yourself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She still cared about me, which made me uneasy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t know how I would turn her down if she made me reconcile with Molly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After dinner we sat back in the living room. She asked the servant to make tea and asked me, “what do you think of Molly?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My heart pounded as she finished. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hesitated for a moment and said, “grandma, to be honest, I can’t stand what Molly did to me in prison. This time I will never withdraw.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that, I had some regrets. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I felt like I was too direct and I was afraid to make Sherry angry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sure enough, Sherry was embarrassed. But she just asked me what happened in prison. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In order to win Sherry’s sympathy, I told her all about my abortion and being bullied in prison. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sherry’s eyes turned red. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took her arm and said, “grandma, I’m sorry. I can’t withdraw for my baby. I really can’t forgive her for what she did to me.” <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
