Chapter 211 - A Helpless Daughter (2/2)

Xiu raised her hand to stop her from completing that sentence. ”If you're gonna say that you did all that for me. Don't even bother! It wasn't my dream. It was your dream. You made me an actress for your own sick selfish purposes. This had nothing to do with what I wanted.”

”You should have gotten an abortion back then. At least, I wouldn't have to suffer through this life like this. Why did you bother keeping me? Wasn't I just a mistake? Wasn't I just a bastard?”

”Ptak!”

Darren heard a resounding slap along with that he heard the sound of something falling which made him anxious. He really wanted to barge inside the door but he didn't know what right he had to do so. Technically, he couldn't even be considered Xiu's friend. And yet, all her words had made his heart ache badly.

Inside the room, Xiu had fallen down with that slap. Because of her injured ankle, she had been standing on the support of her one foot but when her mother's hand made contact with her cheek, it was so sudden that she lost balance and fell. Hitting her head at the side of the table.

She could feel something hot dripping down the side of her face but she didn't move.

”Xiu...” Her mother was equally shocked as she tried to help her up but Xiu shook her hand away.

”Get out of my room! If you were really here as a mother, you wouldn't raise that hand,” tears had brimmed up in her eyes but she didn't let a single one fall out of her eyes. ”You can shut my mouth when I say I'm a bastard but you can't stop everyone's mouth. Isn't that the reason why you never tell anyone that I'm your daughter?”

”Xiu, listen to mom-”

”I said get the hell out of here! You're here as a manager and you've done your job now leave!”

Xiu didn't lift her head to even spare her a glance as she sat motionless on the cold marble floor. While her mother clenched her hand in a tight fist and hesitated for a while before walking away from there.

”If you had the courage to accept me even as a bastard, I wouldn't have been this lonely in life...” whispered Xiu to herself as the dam of her tears finally gave up and tears flooded out endlessly.

Darren watched her mother leaving the room and he felt a strange feeling rising in his heart. He really wanted to ask her how could a mother make her own daughter feel so helpless. Wasn't a mother supposed to be the support of her child?

That was the first time, Darren realized the difference between himself and Xiu. He never felt lost or alone in life because his mother was always beside him but for Xiu, no one was there. Not even her own mother. And without the support of a mother, Xiu was really a pitiful child.
