September of the City S, the autumn wind was rustling in the air, followed by the leaves falling onto the ground.
Vincent Lawson, who wore a black jacket, stood in front of a shabby hospital like an iron spear, letting the withered leaves land on his broad shoulder.
“Take the nut that you gave birth to and get out of the Lawson family of Yenching immediately. Never return.”
Ten years ago, Vincent lived in the Lawson family, which was one of the three upper-class families in Yenching.
However, because he was born with a unique mania, he and his mother were expelled from the family and reduced to the City S.
The two lived on a small hospital ran by his mother.
Although life was difficult, he and his mother felt very happy.
The long-lasting peace was broken by his rage disease.
His mania recurred and he raped the daughter of the Graham family. After that, he was sentenced for 8 years.
At that time, his mother went back to Yenching and knelt down to beg the Lawson family, hoping the family could help.
Yet, she was insulted harshly by the family and came back with tears, watching her own son being sent to the prison.
From then on, his mother left the City S completely.
She went to a temple somewhere in Surper, cut her hairs and became a Buddhist nun. She wanted to atone for his son’s crime.
“Vincent, I do not blame you, but you have to promise me. After you are released, you have to make up for the girl that you have harmed.”
His mother’s warning changed the emotion of Vincent. His eyes turned red.
His gift in medicine and the immense strength he was born with were explored by the Warden.
After a series of special training, he was secretly sent to the Northern frontier as a soldier.
For the past eight years, he killed his enemies fiercely and dauntlessly, receiving numerous battle achievements. He even became a renowned general of the area, who was titled King of the Hell.
His military capacity and medical skills were outstanding. With his left hand, he could save one’s life; with his right hand, he could kill the enemy, protecting the civilians’ lives and sheltering the country.
Now, he was back!!
At this time, Pham, the best assistant of Vincent on the battlefield, came from behind. The former’s eyes were full of respect. He handed over a letter.
“Boss, this is the girl that you asked me to investigate.”
For the past eight years, Vincent had been thinking about the girl that was tarnished by him.
Nevertheless, because of the promise with the Warden, he could only come back to the City S from the Northern frontier after being released upon completion of a sentence.
As a result, he couldn’t contact this girl and had no idea how her life was.
His hands trembled and unfolded the letter.
As he saw the girl on the photo, Vincent was stunned.
In the first picture, the girl looked pale and eyes hollow. She sat at the corner of a bar and kept drinking silently. Her sight located at the dancing floor, watching the young men who shook their bodies crazily. Her eyes were occupied by struggle and hesitation.
In the second one, the girl sat beside the city moat with her mouth open. She looked at the sky pointlessly and depressively.
In the last one, the girl looked slightly better and did not let herself corrupt anymore, but there was a very cute girl in her arms.
Seeing the girl in those photos, Vincent felt his heart torn apart. An unspeakable regret emerged from his heart.
She, the eldest daughter of the Graham family, used to be the well-known existence in the City S.
She was not only gorgeous, but also gifted in dancing. Her demeanors were so elegant that everyone envied her and worshipped her as an idol.
Who she used to be was completely different from the one in the photos.
“Why is it like this?”
Vincent asked with trembling hands.
“The girl who slept with you has lived a terrible life since then. She used to be highly gifted in dancing and was about to study abroad. However, such kind of things happened, leading to the great change in her emotions. And she became corrupted and depressed.”
“The gifted dancer came down into a bad girl who indulged herself in drinking and smoking.”
“After that she and her parents were kicked out of the family.”
“Her father, after expulsion, could not withstand the pressure and committed suicide, but failed. He broke his legs instead and had to sit on wheel chairs.”
“Her mother became a vendor who sold vegetables and fruits by the street.”
“Then who is that girl?”
Vincent kept gazing at the girl in the photo,”Have she married?”
“She is your daughter.” While Pham spoke, he kept looking at Vincent’s face.
Hearing that, Vincent’s hands trembled even more. The photos fell on the ground all of a sudden. The rare disbelief surged in his eyes.
“What did you say?”
Vincent’s reactions did not surprise Pham. The latter bent down to pick up the photos and said calmly,
“The girl, after you are imprisoned for a year, gave birth to a girl named Carolyn Graham. She studies in the Sunshine Primary School in second grade. Ever since she had a daughter, she did not continue to corrupt and feel depressed. Instead, she chose to work hard and earn more money to raise the kid. However, because of the long term depression, she became capricious and could not be put into important position of the company.”
“She could only work difficultly in a small company. Now I am not sure whether Ana Graham works in the same company.”
“What I can be sure is that Carolyn is now selling vegetables in the market with her grandma.”
“Let’ go.” Without other words, Vincent walked straight to the market with Pham.
After ten minutes, Vincent arrived at the market.
He and Pham stood amid the crowd and saw a girl who kept yelling and waving with a cabbage leave,”Grandpa, grandma, uncle, auntie, brother and sister. Come take a look at the fresh vegetables of my family. They are fresh and just collected by my grandma.”
Seeing the cute little girl who was yelling as loud as she could, Vincent, who had always been invincible, felt his eyes wet. This girl looked like him so much.
Was this his daughter?
Carolyn looked very cute with pig tails. She wore a red sweater printed with cartoon Micky Mouse, which served as a foil to her crystal-white skin.
Her skin was glittering under the sun. She looked as cute as a doll, making people want to pinch her little face.
Especially her smile looked so like Vincent.
“Boss, she is your daughter Carolyn.”
Vincent nodded gently,”Do not disturb me. Let me watch for a while.”
The little girl not far apart was the most precious treasure to Vincent in this world.
The casual action of her could affect his heart and control his emotions.
He… He indeed had a daughter.
After yelling for sales for a long time, still, there were only a few customers.
A trace of helplessness revealed on Carolyn’s cute face.
When Carolyn turned around to look at the tired Alannah Reid, Carolyn’s grandma, she looked resolute again and yelled louder.
Carolyn’s cute voice reverberated in the noisy market.
“Kid, I want all the vegetables.”
Hearing this, Carolyn raised her head to look at Vincent.
Carolyn suddenly went silent after the two looked into each other. She tilted her head and looked at Vincent.
For no reason, this man in front of her gave her a special and familiar feeling.
As if they had met somewhere before.
“It’s you?”
Alannah raised her head. The moment she saw Vincent, she immediately lost control of her emotions.
This was the man who hurt her daughter.
Making a girl favored by the God came down to a belittled maniac.
It was this man that made her become a vendor on the street from a wife of an upper-class family.
The next moment, Alannah grabbed Carolyn into her arms and shouted at Vincent warily,”Go away. Don’t touch my Carolyn.”
