Punished by His Love
Chapter 1898
she looked at the family of three, what a happy and harmonious family of three. They were a
family while Eira, on the other hand, was truly a beggar, she turned around and left silently.
As Delmont was about to tell Eira to go home on her own, she was already gone. The eight-
year-old child did not know how to get home by herself. After walking for a very long time, she
found a phone booth. After she had persuaded the man in the phone booth with all the reasons
she could think of, he finally let her make a call. She did not dare to let the cash in her pocket be
exposed as she was afraid she would be robbed. That money was practically the lifeline for her
entire family.
The call was made to the store downstairs from where Eira, her brother, and their mother were
living. Once the call got through, Eira immediately said, "Mister Wilson, could you please help
call for my brother?"
Her brother went down very quickly and picked up the call. Once he heard Eira was not able to
find her way home, he quickly took the bus and came to pick her up. Eira did not tell her brother
how upset she was after she saw how happy her father, his wife and their daughter were
together, she just gave her brother the thousand dollars she had gotten from her father.
Because they had an additional thousand dollars, the lives of Eira and her family of three
became happy. Malvolio was very good at managing the household. After he had taken the
money, he took two hundred dollars out and took his mother to the hospital for a checkup. After
the doctor at the hospital looked at his mother, the doctor felt that had already recovered quite a
lot, so she could just take medication at home. After that, they bought the medication. The
remaining cash was enough for the family of three to get by.
After their mother's health had gradually improved, she started to repair trousers, alter clothes,
and alter sleeves and so on in the small wooden shed downstairs. After their mother had a
stable income of a few ten dollar bills, and on top of that, their mother was feeling better, so she
could make three meals a day for the two children. From time to time, she could even bright Eira
for a shower and a haircut. Gradually, Eira became clean. The little girl became more and more
slender and elegant. Also, her brother had never mentioned discontinuing his studies anymore. 1
Just when the family of three's life became more and more stable, all of the houses in the
neighborhood were going to be demolished. They had originally been renting their house, so it
did not matter that much. However, the stall that Eira's mother had set up at the entrance of the
neighborhood was illegal. If it was the entire neighborhood going to be demolished, not only will
she suffer the losses of losing the small wooden shed, but she will not be able to continue her
sewing and altering business anymore. Their mother was going to be jobless again. Once their
mother became jobless, then the family of three would end up living in poverty again.
Both Eira and Malvolio had realized that their mother could not be idle. Once she had nothing to
do or lost her job, her mother's condition would become serious. Eira, who was not yet eight
years old, did not know that the reason her mother's condition would become serious once she
lost her job was that she was worried that her two children could not get by, but Malvolio knew.
That year, in order to support the family, Malvolio dropped out of high school. Although Malvolio
had very good grades, he no longer continued his studies. Malvolio, who was 18 then, got a job
as a waiter at a high-end restaurant. Although it was a high-end restaurant, the salary for a
normal waiter was not high. Not to mention that his sister had to go to school, and his mother
was still sick. Therefore, Malvolio could not bear to eat out at noon, and he brought lunch from
home to the restaurant every day.
Every Sunday, Eira would stay at home and prepare lunch for her brother, she would then send it
to her brother at noon. This way, her brother did not need to eat the food that was made the night
before. Once, it was a Sunday again, so Eira prepared a simple lunch and sent it to her brother.
Her brother was busy at that time, so Eira sat at the most inconspicuous corner of the restaurant
and waited for her brother to take his lunch during his break.
It so happened that the pianist at the restaurant was playing a very beautiful tune. Eira was fully
engrossed by it. Eira was still immersed in the music even after the pianist had finished playing
the piece.
"Hi, my little friend." After he had finished the piece, the pianist came up to Eira and startled her.
