Chapter 423
He gently stroked the kidâs head, scooped up his little sister and headed out, âBri, donât be scared, Iâm taking you out for some fun.â
From then on, he never let Bri see those quarreling adults again. He used his own strength to shield her, creating a safe and loving home, and protecting her from the damage of their original family.
But all good dreams must come to an end, and the beautiful dream he crafted for her shattered, the impact was just as great.
He could still remember, it was her fifth birthday. She sat by the door all day, hoping for her parents to come home and celebrate with her. Finally, they came back.
The kid ran to greet them with joy, but they didnât pay any attention to her, they were still fighting. The man, losing the argument, turned his anger on the little girl who had been waiting all day, âWhy are you making such a fuss? You shouldnât even exist in this world!â
He rushed up, trying to cover her ears, but he was still a step too late. Bri tearfully asked her parents, âAm I not your child?â
âSo what if you are?â The man said harshly, âI told her to abort you. If she had, none of this would have happened. But she insisted on giving birth to you, and now we have to come back to celebrate your birthday.â
The woman was just as cruel, âYou think I wanted you? If the doctor hadnât told me that I might never be able to get pregnant again if I aborted you, would I have given birth to you?â
They only cared about venting their own frustrations. They knew how much their words could hurt a fiveâyearâold kid, but they didnât care. Just like when they hurt him, who was also just five or six at the time..
When he was very young, they would openly be affectionate with others in front of him. They didnât know how much he wanted to vomit when he saw those scenes.
Years of anger exploded at that moment, he pointed at the squabbling couple, âShut up and get out of this house!â
He was only eleven then, still a child himself. But he was already forced to grow up, to become a big brother who could protect his little
sister.
Even though he was no match for the man at that time, he had to protect his sister, âDonât ever step into this house or let me see you again, or youâll regret it!â
âDo you know who youâre talking to?â The man tried to hit him, but backed off when he saw the cold look in his eyes.
âI told you to leave, didnât you hear me?â Perhaps it was the sudden display of his strong intimidating force that scared them off, the disgusting couple really left.
The little girl clung to his clothes, crying uncontrollably, âIs it because Iâm naughty that mom and dad donât like me?â
âBri, listen to me.â He sat down, holding her in his arms, âYouâre the best kid in the world, you did nothing wrong but they did. Youâre so adorable, itâs their loss if they donât like you.â
âReally? Am I really a good kid?â The little girl blinked her tearful eyes, all her thoughts reflected on her innocent face, making him feel
even more heartbroken.
He pinched the little girlâs face, âWhen have I ever lied to you?â
She really tilted her head and thought, then shook her head cutely, âI believe you, if you say Iâm a good kid, then Iâm a good kid.â
He smiled, âYeah, thatâs the right way to think. Never doubt yourself because of what others say, got it?â
