“But until I am grown up, my mother was always so indifferent to me.”
Calvin paused, then continued, “Since I was little I have felt no affection, only the responsibility thrust upon me. But such a big family, even if it’s beautiful on the surface, there’s always conflict in it. My father is the eldest son. The family determines that the eldest son inherits, but when I was young, my health was not good. When I was ten years old, I had a serious illness and almost died. At that time, my uncles thought…”
“They did it to you?” I heard that and guessed what happened next.
“Yes.” Calvin’s voice was still weak, “They were responsible for my severe illness …”
I wondered. “But I still don’t understand. Why do you say that your mother will be satisfied if you stop?”
This time Calvin was silent for a long time. For a long time I thought he wouldn’t answer, but he only said, “Because my second cousin is my mother’s first love, and I have a half-brother!”
“I was completely confused when I heard that, and I didn’t know what to say.
“Are you feeling sorry for me?” Calvin saw that I was silent for a long time, and he looked down at me.
“Ah? No!” I responded, quickly lowering my head and shaking my head in denial.
“My mother was taken by my father. She and my cousin are already engaged and have children, but my father fell in love with her and forced my mother!” What he said now made me even more stunned.
“This plot is more exciting than a series of TV!” I sighed and then asked again, “Does your mother like your brother more?”
Calvin looked at me. “Yes!”
“Do you need me to comfort you?” I sighed secretly.
“Need!” Calvin had already let go, but he was deliberately pretending to be very hurt.
I hugged Calvin’s head, patting it lightly before letting go.
“My mother doesn’t like me. She hasn’t held me much since I was born, but she’s very good to the oldest son, so good that she even wants to help him become an heir. I keep thinking she wants me to die too . .”
“No!” I heard the words, immediately covered Calvin’s mouth and said with a serious face, “I don’t think your mother would think that way. Even if she doesn’t like you, she gave birth to you. A mother can’t be that cruel. !”
Calvin grinned. “Maybe.”
“I think there’s a misunderstanding between you and your mother?” I frowned.
“Misunderstanding?” Calvin’s voice grew colder. “In the beginning, my sister and I were involved in a car accident. I was seriously injured. My sister became a vegetative. All the evidence of the car accident pointed to her eldest son, but my mother bribed the police . All the surveillance will be destroyed, and then it will be treated like a common car accident!”
“She, how could she do that! They’re all her kids!” I was angry too when I heard that, Calvin is her child too!
“Besides, she blamed my sister because I was driving that day and didn’t check the car carefully before driving!” The coldness in Calvin’s eyes was like a knife edge. “When I found out the truth, I couldn’t bear it, so I decided to leave the house, I really wanted to die outside at that time!”
I don’t know what to say, all I can do is hug Calvin and be treated like this by his own mother.
“You know, when I saw you have such a good relationship with your mother, I really envied her!” Calvin sighed, and he hugged me tightly, “We’ll be leaving tonight!”
“But, didn’t you say your sister was awake? Have you been to see her yet? I want to see her!” “I really want to see that sister.
Calvin was silent before he nodded and replied, “Okay!”
His sister’s room is the best room in the whole mansion.
When we entered, Carrie Smith was not yet rested and was sitting in a wheelchair. A tall man was by her side, and the woman was pale and thin. Though she sat there, her eyes were blank and unfocused, staring blankly at the blooming rose in front of her.
The man saw Calvin enter, bowed, and walked out.
“Sister, do you still recognize me?!” Calvin crouched down in front of the wheelchair and had to strain to contain his excitement.
But Carrie Smith ignored him, her eyes continuing to look at me, her pretty and pale face still dull.
I noticed something and crouched down in front of her.
“Hello, you’re Carrie, right? My name is Alexia! Nice to meet you!” I reached out and took Carrie’s hand and greeted her.
Carrie Smith didn’t respond.
Calvin’s eyes slowly darkened. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly. All he could think was.
“Do you like these flowers?” I turned my head, pinched a rose and handed it to Carrie Smith. “Look, what a beautiful flower!”
Carrie Smith looked at me and ignored the flower.
“Pretty!”
Just when several people were disappointed and hopeless, a deep voice suddenly sounded. To Calvin, this voice seemed like a natural sound. In an instant, both of them were stunned. Then, ecstasy.
“Keep talking to her!” Calvin urged.
He grabbed my hand and said excitedly, “She spoke, do you hear it? After so many years, she really spoke!”
“Ah, the weather is really good today, you see, the sky is blue, the flowers are beautiful” I feel very embarrassed, I don’t know what to say.
Carrie Smith’s eyes were still fixed on my face, “Pretty!”
“Carrie, what are you talking about?” suddenly Fiona Smith’s voice rang out, and I didn’t even notice how it came.
“Pretty, sister!” This time, everyone clearly heard her say that her sister was pretty.
I smiled, “You’re pretty too!”
Fiona Smith covered her mouth, stepped back and leaned against the wall, tears rolling down her eyes.
Calvin’s eyes were red as well.
Although Carrie Smith didn’t react after that sentence, no matter what I said, she just stared at me blankly, but everyone was so excited that they couldn’t hold back.
After we got out of Carrie Smith ‘s room, we went back to the room. I looked at the suitcase in the corner and hesitated to tell Calvin to come back a few days later. . .
“We…”
“We…”
Calvin and I spoke almost simultaneously, and they both paused, looking at each other, waiting for the other to speak first.
“What are you going to say?” asked I.
Calvin was silent before he said, “Can we stay a few more days?”
I twisted the corners of my mouth and said nothing, Calvin hurriedly explained, “Just stay for three days! Carrie, she seems to really like you!”
“Yeah.” I nodded.
Calvin breathed a sigh of relief, then asked , “What did you just say?”
“The same thing you said!” I blinked and smiled mischievously.
Calvin was taken aback, then he hugged me and kissed me again, with uncontrollable excitement, “Thank you!”
“I love you!” I said without hesitation.
Later, Fiona Smith found me . I was nervous when I saw her, especially when Fiona Smith didn’t say anything but just looked at me, which made me nervous.
Fortunately, Fiona Smith wasn’t silent for long,” Calvin said, you’re planning to stay for a few more days.
That’s not a question, it’s an affirmation. Not hiding it, I nodded and said, “Yes, we plan on staying with Carrie for a few more days.”
Fiona Smith nodded, said nothing, turned and left.
I looked Fiona Smith at her back, but the doubts in my heart grew stronger. This woman is not like someone who doesn’t care about her children. I can see that she cares a lot Carrie Smith!
Finally, I was able to sleep. I took out my phone, but it still wouldn’t turn on. I was afraid of being harassed as soon as I turned it on, so I contacted my mom and Andy on Calvin’s cell phone. I also knew about Beth Wilson, Emma and others. Especially Beth Wilson, her so called backstage was also separated from her and was now terminated by the company.
I didn’t feel sorry for Beth Wilson, but I sighed that the fate of offending Calvin was really bad!
“What are you staring at?” Calvin couldn’t help but ask when he saw me frowning and sighing on the phone.
“That Beth Wilson has been terminated by the company. All the movie and TV companies have given her notice and said they won’t be able to find her for filming.” I blinked at Calvin. “Is it too much?”
“I didn’t do it,” Calvin shrugged.
“It’s not you?” I didn’t believe it, “How could it be?”
I paused as I said that, thinking about it too. As Calvin, you really don’t need to fight a small artist, but that doesn’t mean people in these companies are stupid, so he doesn’t need to say or do anything. Those who want to please him wouldn’t do stupid things on purpose.
It seems that this time Beth Wilson will end forever.
“Okay, go to sleep!” Calvin lifted the bedspread, covered me tightly and turned off the light.
The next morning, while I was still asleep, I heard someone knocking on the door outside. Then Calvin got up and went to the door to open it.
Confused, I heard Calvin’s voice, “Carrie? Why are you here?”
“What’s going on? Why is Carrie here?” The Smiths, hearing the voice, saw Carrie Smith up so early and couldn’t help but blame the nanny.
There was a hint of horror behind, “Madam, the lady has not slept much since last night till now. I just heard her calling Miss Alexia, so I just”
“Okay! Got it!” Calvin’s voice was quiet, but I knew he wouldn’t be mad at Carrie Smith.
I put on my pajamas and stepped behind Calvin. Owen Smith and Fiona Smith looked at me at the same time, but Calvin used his big body to cover his view of the Smiths.
“Send Carrie Back to the room,” Fiona Smith said sternly, looking at Auntie.
“Yes, ma’am!” Nanny had already regretted his impulsive decision.
But as the aunt pushed her wheelchair to leave, Carrie Smith she turned and looked at me, “Sister!”
I tugged Calvin, and Calvin looked back at me, “Let Carrie in.”
Calvin thought for a while and agreed.
