Chapter 332

Chapter 332: Chapter 332 My Real Name is Fauna Tucker Amelia Tucker looked at Amelia Spring’s reaction, tears uncontrollably streaming down, her voice choked with heartache and regret.

"You knew all along, didn’t you? You knew... why didn’t you tell me? You even used your own lifespan to exchange for my recovery... How could you be so foolish?"

It’s her, the mother, who owes her daughter.

If possible, she would rather die than let her own child sacrifice her lifespan to save her.

Her child, still so young...

Amelia Spring, listening to Amelia Tucker’s voice filled with tenderness and regret, couldn’t help but have her eyes turn red.

After a long while, she lowered her head and shook it slightly, her voice slightly lowered, "I...didn’t save you just because I am your child."

It was only after she saved her teacher that she discovered she was actually the teacher’s child.

Amelia Spring’s words seemed abrupt, not only Amelia Tucker didn’t understand, but others present including Scarlett Jennings were also somewhat confused.

"What do you mean by that?"

Although it’s unclear why Amelia Spring didn’t recognize Amelia Tucker, since she used the Life Continuation Technique, which can only be used between blood relatives, everyone assumed she knew about their mother-daughter relationship, which is why she was willing to sacrifice her lifespan to save her.

Amelia Tucker also thought so.

Amelia Spring knew she misunderstood, and couldn’t help but look up at her, her eyes not so much showing a child’s attachment to her mother, but rather seemed like facing a deeply loved elder.

It’s just that these two identities overlapping made her feelings towards her even more complex.

"Initially, I just wanted to repay you... If it wasn’t for the teacher taking me out of that mountain, I might... have already died."

Amelia Spring, originally named Fauna Tucker.

From a child’s name, actually, one can see the extent of parental consideration.

And her name was casually given by her parents, like the weeds that bloom everywhere in spring, unremarkable.

Initially, she was bought by that couple to bear children.

In rural areas, there is a belief that if a woman cannot become pregnant, it might be because the child’s fate is insufficient and they need to bring another child into the household first; this child would then help bring the parents their own biological child.

This was the sole purpose for purchasing Fauna Tucker.

As hoped by the foster parents, in the third year after Fauna Tucker came to the household, they indeed succeeded in having a son.

This should have been a perfect "collaboration."

However, people often forget their origins; the couple initially adopted Fauna Tucker wanting their own child, but once their goal was reached, they began to regard this extra child in the family as a hindrance.

Thus, Fauna Tucker became an unnecessary child in the household.

The foster parents began to scold her harshly, getting the young her to do various chores around the house.

Washing her brother’s urine-soaked diapers, washing dishes, feeding chickens, feeding pigs, babysitting...

Fauna Tucker had lived this hard life since she was little.

At the time, she didn’t know she wasn’t their biological child, and merely thought this was the parents favoring boys over girls.

This kind of situation was common in the village, and Fauna Tucker was aware of it, but she still felt sad and unsure about her own future.

The only way she could think of to change her situation was through education.

Thus, she always studied very hard.

Until she finished elementary school, her foster parents didn’t want her to continue studying, arguing that the family couldn’t afford to educate two children.

In such a remote mountain village, nine years of compulsory education were difficult to implement, Fauna Tucker wanted to continue schooling, but she knew that mere pleading for their pity was useless, so she came up with another reason they couldn’t refuse.

Only by letting her continue her education could she continue tutoring her brother’s studies, helping him successfully get into university.

The foster parents highly valued their only son, placing heavy expectations on him, and considering their son’s pitiable academic performance, the couple agreed.

Fauna Tucker successfully went to junior high by tutoring her younger brother.

But it only lasted for a year.

Seeing no improvement in their son’s studies, the couple did not want to waste time and wanted Fauna to drop out and work to support her brother.

This was the first time Fauna fiercely resisted.

Because of that resistance, she met the most important benefactor of her life.

Ms. Tucker.

She said her eyes were like her daughter’s and she too would love to have such a beautiful and elegant mother. But she dared not hope for it.

Ms. Tucker took the initiative to sponsor her education and personally handed the first installment of tuition fees to her adoptive parents.

Later, she left.

But she didn’t know that Fauna still couldn’t go to school.

Fauna was sent by her parents to work in a relative’s factory.

The adoptive parents told her that Ms. Tucker went back on her word and stopped the sponsorship, but in fact, the tuition and living expenses Ms.

Tucker sent were intercepted by her adoptive parents and used directly on their son.

It was not until six months later that Fauna found out, and she wrote a letter revealing the truth to Ms. Tucker with much difficulty.

She intended to have Ms. Tucker stop the sponsorship since the money wasn’t being used on her; it was pointless to waste it.

Moreover, since the money Ms. Tucker previously sent was used on another child and such deception was imposed, the other party would definitely be angry and sever ties with a family like theirs.

What Fauna had never expected was that upon receiving the letter, Ms. Tucker personally visited the village again, bringing an official from the education bureau. They approached the village head, pressed her adoptive parents to fetch her back from the factory, and sent her back to the original junior high school in the county.

Ms. Tucker also stated that future payments would be directly made to the school’s account through the local education bureau, and living expenses would also be transferred through the school. If anyone was found misappropriating the scholarship meant for Fauna, she would directly take legal action.

Before leaving, Ms. Tucker also gave her a phone number, telling her to call her if she ever needed anything.

For the first time, Fauna cried out of emotion; it was the greatest act of kindness she had felt since she had become sensible.

Apparently, there were people in this world who would go so far for someone completely unrelated like her.

From then on, her goal in studies became to emulate Ms. Tucker.

She wanted to study hard, go to university, and move to the city where Ms. Tucker was.

Thanks to the "guardianship" of Ms. Tucker, Fauna smoothly completed junior high school and successfully got into a key high school in the city.

But before she could share this joyous news with Ms. Tucker over the phone, she was locked up at home by her adoptive parents again.

This time, they were planning to sell her!

They wanted to marry her off to an uncle in the same village, someone she detested because he was her father’s drinking buddy, whose gaze made her nauseous every time they met.

Especially after she started junior high, he frequently seated her on his lap in front of her adoptive parents, joking around, and would touch her when her parents weren’t looking. Fauna had tried to seek help from her adoptive parents but was scolded for being silly in return.

The uncle had a son who was always kept at home due to intellectual disabilities.

The adoptive parents wanted to marry her to them, and the uncle offered an $8,000 dowry.

That dowry was considered very high in the village at the time.

High enough for her adoptive parents to completely abandon her.

Fauna felt despair.

A foolish husband and such a father-in-law.

She knew from just imagining it what kind of Hell that would be.

She wanted to escape such a Hell.

If she really couldn’t escape, then she had one last resort—

Death.
