Krista’s POV
I thought my mother would change her position and leave the man, but she shook her head. “No way, Krista, no way, what are you talking about? How could your uncle Brent treat you…”
“Yes, of course, you won’t believe it, because, in your eyes, Brent is the best man in the world, so you cried and kept me for him when I repeatedly proposed to leave the Brennan family. You have no idea how horrible that Brennan family was to me. Four times, Brent tried to rape me four times. For the first time, he drank wine. Fortunately, you went out for a walk and came back in time, so I escaped. The second time, I broke his head with a vase and escaped. As a result, after half an hour, you called me and said that he accidentally fell down and broke his head when he came down the steps. Let me go to the hospital to visit him quickly. The third time, when Zaniyah was outside fighting with someone, she was put in the police station and she called Brent, and I escaped. The fourth time…”
I can’t talk anymore. I took a deep breath and calmed my mood. I continued, “Do you remember when I was in college, my leg was broken, and I lived in the campus? I told you, I was accidentally hit by a car. In fact, Brent wanted to invade me. I refused to die, so I jumped off the balcony on the second floor and broke my bone.”
She looked alarmed and shook her head as if she didn’t believe it.
I smiled bitterly, “You don’t believe it, do you? Because of Brent’s arrogance, in order to protect me, I installed a pinhole camera in my room. Do you want to see with your own eyes what Brent did to your daughter?”
She frowned. “Stop it.”
I looked at her and said, “Why not? The person next to you is a devil, but you don’t know it. Every time I get hurt and run away from the Brennan family, you have to cry and beg me to put up with it for you. In this world, I only have you as a relative, so, for you, I will endure again and again. But you don’t seem to know my good intentions at all. Now, I won’t bear it any longer. I put all my grievances and the ugly faces of the Brennan family in front of you. Mom, I’ll ask you if you want to leave the Brennan family with me and start over for the last time. ”
My mother lowered her eyes, and I already knew her choice.
I looked at her powerlessly. “Even so, you still don’t want to leave him, do you?”
“Krista… Mom has nowhere to go. For six years, Mom has become accustomed to the Brennan family. Mom… can’t live without him. I know you have been wronged, but…”
I closed my eyes and interrupted her. “In the past, I didn’t dare to tell you the truth. I was afraid you would be sad. But now I find out that I am really ridiculous. How can you be sad? I regret it. Why did I endure so much for a mother who didn’t love me?”
She shook her fist. “I think… your uncle Brent was probably confused for a while.”
“Don’t say it! I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Let’s break away from the mother-daughter relationship.”
She paused, looked at me, and was surprised, “Krista?”
I shook my head. “Since childhood, my father has always told me that you are his favorite woman in his life, and I can only rank second. If I want to get angry and lose my temper with you, I must hold back. I am not allowed to be willful to you. I can tell him if I am unhappy, and he will comfort me. Now, my father was gone, and no one can comfort me anymore. Therefore, I want to be willful for myself once. You no longer need a daughter, and I don’t want to bear your harm anymore. Therefore, I decided to break away from the mother-daughter relationship with you. ”
“I disagree.” She replied quickly.
“I’ll get a lawyer to talk to you about it later.”
“If the reporter knows, what will he think?”
I looked at her with a trace of coldness in my eyes. “If the reporter knows, I will publish the video that Brent wants to invade me. I think that when the time comes, everyone should be able to understand my mood.”
I lay down, turned my back on Delia, and didn’t want to see her again. “Go, don’t wait for me to see you off.”
She sighed, “Krista, then have a good rest. Mom will come to see you again.”
Cheney’s POV
I turned, took a few steps into the distance, and looked back at Delia, who had just left the ward door.
She came up. “Cheney. You didn’t go in when you came.”
“Don’t provoke Krista in the future. Since Krista decided to break away from your mother-daughter relationship, I will definitely help her do so. You gave birth to Krista, and I won’t touch you, but I won’t let Brent go. This is the punishment he deserves after torturing Krista.”
“Cheney, what Krista said just now has yet to be investigated. She has always said anything to annoy me, so…”
When I looked at this woman, my heart was full of disgust. “You don’t even believe in your daughter’s words. Your daughter has been wronged, but you still have to be with that pervert. People like you only have yourself in their hearts and are not worthy of being a mother at all.”
After saying that, I no longer pay attention to her, I walked to the ward’s door. I didn’t go straight into the ward. I stood at the door and looked inside.
I suddenly understood, when I looked at her, why she was always lonely. She must have been in a lot of pain.
After ten minutes, I pushed open the door and went in.
Hearing the sound, Krista didn’t move. “Still asleep?”
She looked back at me and said in surprise, “Why are you back?”
“I am not an employee of the company. When I am not busy, do I have to stay in the company?”
Sitting down by the hospital bed, I looked at her face as usual. In fact, I really want to see her show her weakness to me and open her heart to me. She probably won’t do that.
“What would you like to eat tonight?”
She thought for a moment, “The hospital food was bland. I want to eat something delicious, such as Mala Tang or something.”
I gave her a weird look. “Think of something that normal people can eat.”
“Mala Tang is what we normal people eat.” She bit her lips and smiled. “However. I said what I wanted. Anyway, you will never accompany me to eat it. So, it is up to you to decide what to eat.”
I got up, raised my eyebrows, and looked at her. “Get up, change clothes and let’s eat.”
She paused. “Really.”
“What did I say?”
She looked at me for a moment and then grinned, “It’s hard to believe that you actually wanted to eat it. Anyway, don’t take your words back.” She said and immediately got out of the bed.
I held her down and turned to help her take out her clothes and hand them to her.
After changing clothes, I took her wheelchair and pushed her out myself.
After getting in the car, she asked, “Are you happy today?”
I gave her an oblique look. Instead of continuing this topic, she said seriously, “There is a very delicious Mala Tang at the gate of our school. Let me show you the way.”
When the car drove to the entrance of University Road, I stopped and wheeled her to her designated Mala Tang shop.
