Chapter 17 — My Late Light

Hua Nam Am looked at her parents, at the familiar smiles with some pleasing features on their faces, suddenly a feeling of deep fatigue and sarcasm arose in her heart. She remembers when she was little, her sister wanted a doll, and her parents bought it without saying a word. As for her, she got first place in the exam and wanted a book she liked, but her mother scolded her: "Every day you only know how to ask for things, don't you know what our family's conditions are?" She remembers her younger sister causing trouble, her parents always protecting her, saying "she's still young, she doesn't understand things". As for her, she accidentally broke a bowl while washing dishes, and her father beat her with a chicken feather broom until her whole body was covered in wounds. She remembered when they urged her to get married and said: "Nam Am, Chu Nghien Thu's conditions are so good, if you marry there, you can enjoy happiness." There was a time when Hua Nam Am only felt that her parents just loved her sister a little more, not that they didn't love her. But later she saw that, even on an important day like a wedding, her location was changed and people humiliated her into being a "passed-off item". Even now, she was hurt by Zhou Yanshu until she was covered in injuries. They still advised her to marry Zhou Yanshu. It wasn't until he went through so many things that Hua Nam Am completely saw clearly. Her parents have never loved her before. They only see her as a tool to collect money, a chess piece that can be exchanged for glory and wealth. She tried so hard to gain their love, wanting to prove that she was superior to her sister, wanting to make them proud of her. But in the end, she discovered that in their eyes there was only money, not her. If they don't love her. So she doesn't choose to love them anymore. Hua Nam Am's eyes were filled with determination: "I'm just saying for the last time, it's no longer possible for me and Chu Nghien Thu." Hua's father was dissatisfied: "From the past until now, major marriage matters are the parents' orders, the matchmaker's word!" "We said you must marry Chu Nghien Thu, then you must marry." "If not, then don't recognize us as parents anymore!" Hua Nam Am revealed a smile as if she had been resolved. escape: "Okay, then let's break off our relationship." Hua's father's face immediately turned pale: "Nam Am, what are you saying? We are your parents! How can you say such things?" "Mom and Dad?" Hua Nam Am looked at them, there was no longer anger in her eyes, only disappointment that penetrated deep into her bones: "If you two were really my parents, you would not choose to side with the harmful person when I was bullied." "It would not be when I need you two the most, only thinking about using me in exchange for money." She took a deep breath, her voice carrying a trace of trepidation: "I don't need that kind of parents. From now on, the two of you will just pretend to have never had a child." Hua's father was so angry that he was trembling, pointing at Hua Nam Am's nose and scolding: "You unfilial daughter! We raised you like this, do you repay us like this?" "You two raised me?" Hua Nam Am laughed: "Are you two raising me so that I can take care of your old age? Or so that I can make money for you two? If so, then you two are disappointed." "I, Hua Nam Am, will not let you two take advantage of me anymore." She turned her head, no longer looking at her parents, nor looking at Chu Nghien Thu anymore. "Everyone go, I want a little quiet." Hua's parents were still screaming madly, but were pushed away by Co Tinh Da. door. Chu Nghien Thu looked at Hua Nam Am, saw the determination and disappointment in her eyes, and felt a sharp pain in her heart. Even her family members are no longer effective. How else could he coax Hua Nam Am? Chu Nghien Thu seemed to realize at this moment that he was about to lose her forever. After everyone left. The hospital room was finally quiet. Hua Nam Am leaned on the hospital bed,

The sunlight outside the window penetrated through the glass and fell on her face, but it could not warm her cold heart. When she was young, her parents' favoritism, at this moment, entered her head. Making her colder and colder. At this moment, a gentle voice interrupted her memories. "Nam Am." Co Tinh Da walked in carrying a bowl of warm porridge. He put the porridge on the nightstand, then sat by the bed, gently holding her hand. "Don't think about those things anymore." His voice was very gentle, like a spring breeze, blowing away the clouds in her heart: "The most important thing right now is that you must heal well. People who hurt you are not worth your heartache for them." Hua Nam Am looked at him, looked at the concern and pain in his eyes, and a warm stream of water suddenly welled up in his heart. She remembered when she was a child, every time she was scolded by her parents, Co Tinh Da would secretly give her medicine and sit on the terrace with her to count the stars. Her voice was a bit hoarse: "Tinh Da, do you remember? When I was little, every time I was sad, you would come find me." "You told me stories, brought me delicious food, and also helped me teach the classmates who bullied me." "If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to stand it a long time ago." "I know you married me just to help me save face, I only helped you, but I don't want to keep dragging you into this forever."
