36 Chapter 32 ~ Returned Once More (2/2)

Gritting her teeth in anger, she held her jaw down to suppress it.

”L-Leave…”

Sadrin gripped her skirt tightly, she bows as she closed her eyes and then left her alone.

Several images of the past, back when she was 14 years old, come back to her. The image shows Siola being a troublemaker child, buying many dolls around, and yet the people around her, including her grandfather Hajaran... does not show any emotion of anger. In fact, it's the opposite.

Martin, Linda, Yuri, Sadrin, and Hajaran... they all have a wide smile on their faces and Siola's is even brighter while she mounted her grandfather's shoulder.

Tears shed from her eyes. She has left everything behind. The Mithra's name, her family, her dolls and belongings, everything.

And now... it's all coming back to her again.

With a repeated cycle of memories keep coming back again and again inside her mind, and unlike before, where she tried to hold them out… she let them all in.

…

Several days have passed.

She locked herself from the world and never comes out. Each and every day, only the head maid went to visit her. Her eyes are lifeless, it felt as if she doesn't want to live anymore.

Each and every single day, the head maid took care of her herself. She cleaned her, fed her, spent the silent day with her. Sadrin did whatever she can to bring her back, but her motherly love isn't enough for her.

This aligned perfectly with her grandfather scheme, he wants it to be this way. With Siola is now gone from the trace of society, he wants to take this chance to 'reformed' her to the better.

He's already working on the plan for it.

Siola's mother, Yuri, confronted her father who is now taking a biscuit in his mouth. She asked, ”Father, wouldn't it be better if we teach her ourselves? At least, let me go and see her.”

”This again, my decision is final. If I let her be with you, she would turn from the trash of society to the trash of a human being. She can't even bath on her own, coming here smelling like sweat. Even Lind didn't caress her properly, what made you think I'd let you?”

Yuri is heavily insulted by her own father making a comparison with Linda. Siola is her child, not her. It is only the circumstances of the times that played out that everything turned out wrong. Yuri believes that, but not everyone else.

”But the idea of getting an outsider to teach our child is… it's nonsensical, father.”

”How is it not sensical. None of you has raised her well enough. Only saw Sadrin that truly cares about her livelihood, none of you ever think the way she did and produce an actual result. Step out of this, she's not your only child, she is a Mithra, and she HAS to act like one.”

Yuri started to stutter, ”But what if the outsider poorly teaches her? What if she or he, teach her something that, that would result in—”

”Worries not. Her teacher… well, teachers, are from a reputable source with 40 years' experience. Teaching problematic children worse than her all across the three sectors. I heard they also had offers in the capital. I'm sure they will do their job well enough, or at least… better than any of you.”

As she clenches her fist, tight searing pain throbbing in her heart. She let her child be raised to another person, and then let her sister doted the said child, and now… she's about to bond with another one and this time… she can't even meet her.

With trembling lips, she asked, ”And who are these great teachers you want to bring, father?”

He glanced, ”None of which for you to be concern about. Just mind your own business like the usual and let them do their work. Don't mess this up.”

There is absolutely nothing she can do except to wait for them to come. Maybe she can reason with them later on and convince them to let her see her child.
