Chapter 11 Blood Roses
At the foot of the apartment building, Mr. Galer came to look for me. In his black luxury car, he handed me a large handful of cash. I did not reach out, so he directly stuffed it into my collar and took the opportunity to touch my chest.
My mother always taught me to use my beauty to gain wealth. I followed her advice, even though she had always treated me poorly.
Being alone is truly lonely, and I often feel the breath of death in my rented apartment at night.
Touching the rose petals in the vase, the bright red color helps lift my spirits.
I can’t lose my family again.
I need atonement.
After finishing work one day, I called my mother and told her I wanted to come over. The phone was hung up several times before she picked up.
“Why are you still looking for us?” came the light and indifferent voice from the other end.
“Mom, I’ve returned to work. I got the money and want to come see you and Kelly,” I said in a humble tone.
“Hurry up and come over! I’ll prepare a richer dinner.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Listening to my mother’s rapidly changing tone, I could only smile helplessly.
Entering the house, I saw Kelly lying on the sofa, and the tiny space had no place for me to sit.
“Dear sister, you’re here!” She said, but her body remained still.
I was standing there, my mother came out of the kitchen. “Did your boss give you cash again? Otherwise, just transfer it directly to me.”
“Yes. It’s cash.”
My mother stared at me as I opened my bag. She snatched the bag from me and emptied all the money from it. She tossed the empty bag back to me, counting the bills in her hands with joy.
“A boss is a boss. The feeling of holding a six-figure bill is different.”
“Auntie…” Jamie’s voice suddenly came from the doorway, we were all startled.
I didn’t close the door tightly when I entered.
