She almost broke her front teeth too.She did not know how she made her way home that night, but she knew she hated her mother. So, so, badly.“What’s wrong, my dear girl. What happened?” Goldie looked at her daughter, her heart aching.“How did you fall, your entire arm is bruised, and the skin has been scraped off too. Who hit you? Tell me, who hit you! I’ll go and fight her!”“Your man! The person I call my father! He hit me!” Gloria looked at her mother coldly. Goldie: “…”After a pause, Goldie suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted, falling to the floor in a heap.“Mommy! Mommy, what’s wrong, Mommy? I’m sorry, Mommy, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to make you angry! I’m sorry, Mommy…”The 12-year-old little girl cried helplessly. She held her mother’s head tightly in her arms, and screamed toward the sky. “Please, someone, save my mother…”Back then, cell phones were unheard of. After sobbing for a few moments, the 12-year-old little girl knew her mother would n

Gloria stood in front of the entrance to the Shaw family residence. The two butlers stood at the door like dutiful guards, both of them staring at the fifteen to sixteen-year-old girl in front of them. “Who are you looking for!”“I need to see Mrs. Shaw.” Gloria bit her lip and spoke with humiliation. If it was up to her, she would never come and beg the Shaw family for help, but her mother was dying, so she had no choice. “Mrs. Shaw is not someone you can meet on a whim! Go away!” The butlers did not even bother taking another glance at Gloria. Even if she wanted to barge in, she could not. But if she went home, would she be faced with the same look of desperation in her mother’s eyes again?The sixteen-year-old Gloria had no choice but to squat at the entrance and wait. She thought that as long as she waited until nightfall, maybe the man who was at least biologically her father would come home. If not, then if she waited until the next morning, someone was bound to leave the h

She was afraid that it would be blood. She still had to take care of her mother. She had to stay alive. If she died, what would happen to her mother?The fifteen to sixteen-year-old child forced herself to swallow the mouthful of blood back down her throat. She bit her lip and said weakly, “My mother… My mother is dying. Before she dies, she wants to meet…Mrs. Shaw. My mother said…it’s about your daughter who passed away as a baby. She would like to see you.”Mrs. Shaw was stunned when she heard Gloria’s words. “What…what did you say?”“My mother would like to see you.” With that, Gloria sped away. If not, she would start coughing blood. She did not want to cough up blood in front of the Shaw family. She was afraid they would make fun of her and further take advantage of her weakness. That night, she did not return home because she did not want her mother to see her in this state, beaten up like this.That night, Gloria was in pain and freezing. Her chest was burning, as if it

When Goldie saw her daughter, she struggled to sit up. “Quick! Go to the Shaw family. They believed me. They believed me because I’m dying. Gloria, you have to remember, when you’re in the Shaw family residence, find a way to secretly get some of your brother’s hair, or even Mrs. Shaw’s hair.”Gloria sobbed as she asked her mother, “Why would I need their hair?”“In case they want to conduct a paternity test. You’re your father’s daughter, but you’re not Mrs. Shaw’s daughter. You can only join the Shaw family if you’re Mrs. Shaw’s daughter. Otherwise, they won’t acknowledge you.”“Mommy, I don’t want to join the Shaw family…”“Be a good girl, Gloria. Now, they won’t hate you anymore. They think you’re their dead daughter, so Mrs. Shaw won’t hate you anymore either.”Gloria cried and said to her mother, “Mommy, they won’t acknowledge us. We can never join the Shaw family because the man whom you call my father, all he did was provide you with one of his sperm! To them, we’ll always

Now that they had a foster child, the couple thought they could finally have someone to support them in the golden years of their lives, but unfortunately, the long arm of the law eventually caught up to them.After the couple was arrested by the police, Gloria turned into an orphan, in all senses of the word. She had no choice but to leave her job at the factory to avoid the Shaw family who were still searching for her. She was homeless. She did not dare to stay in a hotel, nor did she dare to rent a room. When she was at her poorest, she even slept under an overhead bridge. She met Lincoln Lynn when she was fighting off some bad guys. Back then, Lincoln was a white-collar worker at the small factory where Amelia used to work. At one glance, he immediately recognized her, saved her, and brought her home. Then, he even gave her a job. Just like this, another year passed. Naturally, Amelia and Lincoln started dating. Two years later, when she became 21 years old, Amelia marri

Gloria wandered the streets aimlessly, lost and with nowhere to go.Waves of pain emanated from her belly. She was in despair and she did not know whether she would survive, or whether her baby would arrive on this Earth safely.At that moment, Gloria suddenly understood why her mother went to all that trouble before she passed away. Once her mother passed away, she was left all alone in this world, and it was too difficult for her. She also understood why her mother wanted to give birth to her. No longer blaming her mother for her actions, Gloria went to her mother’s grave and sobbed for a whole afternoon. When evening drew near, she felt a sudden, terrible ache in her belly. The pain was so bad she could barely walk out of the graveyard. She crawled on the ground on all fours, calling out weakly, “Help, help…”The man who came to help her was limping. The lame man exerted much strength before he successfully helped her onto a tricycle and pulled her all the way to the hospital

The little house was never sold. With a tug, the gate opened and Gloria walked inside. The house was filled with the smell of mold. The house was old and in disrepair. Puddles of water had formed everywhere from the leaking pipes, and still, it was barely habitable.After deciding to live here, she took a few of her mother’s paintings out of the wooden crates and sold them to an art gallery. She only earned a small amount of money, but it was still enough for the two of them to live off of for a few months. But their happy days were numbered. One afternoon, on the way home from the market, Gloria wheeled her daughter in her stroller but stopped when she saw visitors in the little courtyard outside. They were from the Shaw family. They changed the locks and locked up the house. Then, they threw away some of the daily necessities in the house. Before they left, they even said, “Nowadays, the world is filled with all sorts of people! Even a tiny, rundown house like this where s

Gloria was completely helpless now. At her wits’ end, she really wanted to leave all her worldly troubles behind her but, before she died, she had to clear her debt, especially since her debtor was someone who was as honest and upright as he was poor. “Lincoln Lynn, no matter what, we were husband and wife. Give me three thousand dollars. I need to return two thousand dollars to Mr. Scott. The remaining thousand, just think of it as compensation for all the years I spent with you.”Lincoln sneered, “What a perfect plan you have there! It’s not that I can’t afford three thousand dollars, but if you are lying to me…”“I am in this situation now, so why would I lie to you?” Gloria laughed pitifully.“I’ll go with you! If you’re not lying to me, then I will give you the three thousand dollars you asked for!” Lincoln said viciously.He was willing to go to a remote little village thousands of miles away with her, not because he was worried that Gloria would lie to him, but because an
