Chapter 269 - Sandwich (1/2)
”I started work when I was seven. I had to sell flowers, deliver milk and newspaper, and everything.”
”I slept on the streets because I didn't have enough money to rent a place.”
”My grandfather wanted me to grow up to be merciless. That's why he did all those things.”
”You wouldn't know that you are the only thing that I looked forward to every day when I delivered the milk and newspaper…”
”Every morning, I would look up to your room and see what you are doing.”
”You were very young then as well, but you seemed to have poor health.”
”I had seen you fainting a few times, but I couldn't do anything to help you.”
”I could only wait outside the house and watch from a distance until you wake up.”
”You didn't know about my existence until six years later.”
”One day, when I was already sixteen, you were reading your book near the window, and I fainted outside your house due to malnutrition.”
”You loved to spend your time reading, so you were very knowledgeable.”
”You knew why I fainted, but you were only ten years old, and you were still too young and small to be able to send me to the hospital.”
”So, you called your neighbor to send me to the hospital because your father wasn't around that day.”
”Ever since that day, every morning, when I deliver the milk and newspaper to your house, there would be a sandwich and a bottle of juice for me.”
”You probably wouldn't know that just that alone lighted up my world, and you became my only hope and light in life.”
”Sandwiches and juice became my favorite food, and it is now a habit of mine to have them every morning.”
Donovan smiled sweetly while he thought about the sandwiches and juices that Mo Xi had given him.
”At that time, I thought that if I had a better family, then I would definitely take care of you and repay you for whatever that you had done for me.”
”I didn't even realize that I had already fallen for you gradually over the years…”
”After that, I was brought back by my grandfather, and he told me why he did all those things to me.”
”I had a better family, but our distance only grew…”
”I had to take revenge for my parents, and I had to accomplish my grandparents' wishes.”
”I went back to look for you. However, just like me, you disappeared at the same time that I was brought back to my family.”
”I couldn't find you, no matter how hard I tried.”
”I thought that I had completely lost you until I saw you again six years ago.”
”I was excited when I saw you, and I was stunned when I saw you again because you grew to be someone beautiful and full of charms.”
”Even though you changed a lot as I did, I could still recognize you at first sight…”
”You are still so kind and courageous like when you were young.”
”Although I didn't expect that you would be fighting against us, I thought that it was only natural.”
”When I saw that you were able to fight so well, the first thing in my mind was that you could finally protect yourself…”
