Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
For same reason, she suddenly thought of him.
How she wished she could go back and see him, even if it was just a glimpse from afar.
“How long has this poison been tormenting you?” Mirabella released her hand to fetch a small bottle of medicine from her bag.
“A year and a half” the girl managed a bitter smile, even surprised at herself that she had endured for so long.
Hearing ‘a year and a half, Mirabella paused, inexplicably reminded of Carol.
The poison had been in Carol’s blood system for at least a year, maybe even a year and a half.
“Take some painkillers and get some sleep,’ Mirabella poured a small pill from the bottle and handed it over to her.
The girl had only seen Mirabella’s fingers before, but seeing her entire beautiful hand was a sight for sore eyes.She took the pill and immediately swallowed it.
“I’m going to make a call,’ Mirabella stood up and went outside the room, closing the door behind her.
She dialed a familiar number.
It seemed that Romeo had been waiting for her call all along. The moment the screen lit up, he picked it up almost instantly.
Romeo worriedly asked, “Are you safe?”
Mirabella calmly replied, “I’m safe right now.”
The two spoke in unison. After a brief pause, they both laughed.
“As long as you’re safe” Romec’’s laugh was warm and fond. He glanced at the time and said, “It’s already past three. When will you be back? Should he drop you off or should I pick you up?”
“I don’t think I’ll be back until tomorrow afternoon.”
Based on what Dennis had said earlier, he would probably be gone for more than ten hours.
“What about tonight? Do you have a place to rest? Is the task complicated? Are you tired?”
“Not tired, I’m just taking care of someone,’ Mirabella then asked, “Any news fram Clark?”
“lL haven’t heard from him yet.”
“If you have time tomorrow, can you check on Clark? Make sure he’s eating and changing his bandages.”
“Sure.”“You too, Mirabella added, “You need to get some rest tonight. Don’t wait up for me, I’ll be back when I
can.”
Romeo didn’t expect Mirabella to know him so well. Indeed, he couldn’t sleep well until Mirabella was back, always worried about whether she was in danger and if she needed his help.
Mirabella naturally guessed that and warned him, “If I see dark circles under your eyes tomorrow, I won’t see you for three days straight.”
“I’ll sleep, Romeo immediately agreed, “I’ll definitely sleep well tonight.”
“No staying up late.”
“I’ll sleep with the sachet you gave me, Romeo promised, “You should also get some sleep. If I see dark circles under your eyes tomorrow, I’ll punch that guy and give him panda eyes.”
“Deal,” Mirabella laughed as she was amused. Even if she stayed up all night, she wouldn’t have dark circles.
That was thanks to her regular consumption of rejuvenating scented tea.
“Just be careful. If anything happens, call me right away,’ Romeo, unable to let go, gave a few more reminders before hanging up.
Since Mirabella was just outside the room, the girl could hear the conversation between them.
Unconsciously, she was reminded of him again.
He was also the third child in his family.
At that thought, a poignant smile tugged at the girl’s lips. How come every time someone mentioned ‘Clark’, she would automatically visualize his handsome and charming face. Will it just be the samename?
How desperately she must miss him to think of him at every moment.
She wondered if he was well, how his life was going without her.
When Mirabella entered her room, she heard the rustling of her roommate from the next bed, “You’re still awake?”
“Yeah, I can’t sleep.”
Once Mirabella settled in, she asked, “What’s on your mind?”
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
Hearing that, a smirk appeared on Mirabella’s face, “Eavesdropping on my call, were you?”
“It’s a small place. Even though you were speaking softly, it’s quiet at night.” Perhaps it had been too long since she had spoken with someone, Diana let down her guard, a weary smile across her lips, “You and your boyfriend, are you close?”
If she hadn’t misunderstood, Mirabella was just on the phone checking in with her boyfriend.
“Yeah, we’re good; Mirabella casually asked, “What about you? Do you have a boyfriend?”
“lused to.”
Upon hearing that, Diana’s thoughts again returned to his handsome face.
Used to??
Mirabella understood her situation; they had broken up; they were no longer together.”I bring misfortune to those around me.” Diana laughed bitterly, “That’s why I can’t meet you face-to-
face.”
She didn’t want to bring harm to Mirabella.
“Sometimes I just want to live, like a regular person, return to my old life:
But, as long as she was alive, she only brought endless calamity to those around her.
Like Dennis, who had been on the run with her for a year.
Her most loyal followers, their faces unrecognizable in death.
Her foster parents, who suffered because of her.
When she was dating, they had to sneak around. When she left, she cut off all contact with him to protect him.
She truly hadn’t contacted him ever since.
He was of high status, rarely at home, so the organization couldn’t find him.
All they could do was just ruthlessly hurt those powerless people close to her.
Upon recalling when her parents were taken hostage, she saw the news and wanted to save them, but she was helpless.
At that time, she was in the throes of her poison, she couldn’t even get out of bed, much less return to her homeland.
And Dennis, in his attempt to protect her, was severely injured, almost dying before her.So, at that time, they could only watch as their foster parents were tormented.
She would never forget that scene, the blood on the floor.
Thinking that, Diana clenched her fists. Although it would be difficult with her strength alone, if she could cure that poison once and for all, she would dismantle the organization’s lair and live proudly under the sun.
She wouldn’t be manipulated anymore by anyone.
“The people around you, none of them think of you as a curse. I believe they all like you, willing to stand by your side, just like Dennis, always protecting you.”
Mirabella’s words left Diana stunned.
Mirabella continued to say, “So, you have to survive, and not just survive, but thrive. Show everyone that you are not a curse.”
Diana was moved again by her words.
Perhaps it was due to her unique circumstances, but in those past years, no one had ever said such things to her.
“If you feel like your sickness is a burden to others, then get better soon.”
“If you believe your status is causing misfortune to those around you, find a way to shake it off.”
“We’re only given one shot at life, live for yourself at least once. Don’t surrender to fate, don’t admit defeat so easily, that kind of loss isn’t cool at all.”
“Even if you have to leave this world, you can’t do it in such a disgraceful way.”
“Next, you need to take care of your health, have faith in yourself. Your confidence will inspire those around you to be confident and brave.”
“Mirabella, thank you,’ The girl’s heartstrings were pulled, her voice full of gratitude, “Do you know? All these years, no one has ever spoken to me like this.”
