Chapter 5 — The Blessed Kid is here

15 Until one day. When I got home after school at night, the whole family didn't see anyone. My brother and I were both very surprised. Because normally, no matter how busy they are, their parents always come home for dinner on time. If they go on a business trip, they notify them in advance. Why is today so... strange? At this moment, Aunt Truong hurriedly ran in: "Oh my, I forgot to tell you two! My wife had a car accident today, your father is at the hospital with me!" 16 Luc Trong Tinh and I walked and cried all the way to the hospital. Then, crying again, she rushed into the hospital room. Everyone around turned to look at the two of us, one big and one small, crying as if the kettle was about to boil over. Until I stepped into the hospital room, I suddenly heard my mother shout an extremely eloquent sentence: "Shut up, mom!!" The two of us immediately stopped crying, with tears in our eyes looking at the person lying on the hospital bed. The upper half of the body is okay, only the right leg is hanging high. Yet... we burst into tears even harder, rushing to hug our mother and sob. This time I cried even harder than before. My mother couldn't bear it any more and shouted: "Stop crying! Do you guys think I'm dead?!" A while later, my brother and I cried so much that we fell asleep, each lying on one side, taking up the entire bed. The pressure was so much that my mother couldn't turn over. Dad: “…… Are you guys coming to visit the sick or coming to cure the sick?” 17 At first I didn't think much of it. Until a few days later... my father suddenly fainted right at the company. Went to the hospital for a check-up and found out it was brain cancer. Luckily, it was in the early stages and it was a benign tumor that could be cured with just surgery. But no matter what surgery, opening the skull is like taking a walk around the Demon Gate. Although in the end, Dad still walked out of the operating room safely, but his vital energy was also severely damaged. Less than a month later, his brother was hit in the arm by a rock falling from the upper floor. Everyone thought it was just a coincidence. But only I know... it's not that simple. Because I saw the bullet: 【The male and female protagonists should not adopt evil female companions. How long has it been? And these things happened one after another.】 【Yes, it was definitely caused by the evil woman's bad luck. She's haunting the main male and female family!】 Some people also objected: 【Nonsense. Yesterday the woman also burned her hand. The other day I was splashed with water at school. It's all bad luck. Besides, before there was a female supporting character, didn't the male and female protagonist's family also have an accident? Why do you keep blaming it all on others?】 【That's right! I clearly remember that a year ago their family had three traffic accidents in a row! It's not the female lead's fault, it's obviously bad luck.】 【Exactly! Since the woman appeared, this family has clearly had more laughter (along with the sound of chickens flying and dogs running). She also helped her autistic brother gradually recover, making her mother much gentler!】 But— I can't read those defenses. Because a thought kept popping up in my heart: Maybe... it's really because of me. I came, and disaster also came. A family of three, one after the other, encounter... strange coincidences. I am a cruel woman. How can it be compatible with the so-called "happy and warm family"? My parents, and my brother—they're all so good, they shouldn't have to endure this. What if… If I leave, will things ever get better? If I stay— will I ever… Even their lives… No! Absolutely impossible! That night, while my brother was sleeping soundly, I left a note: "I'm sorry. It's all because of my bad luck that made everyone unhappy. But I really... really love you all. Goodbye... no, that's... I hope... we'll never meet again. Wishing everyone good luck." After that, I quietly packed my small bag and called a car to return to the orphanage at night. I only allowed myself to greedily bring one thing: a Beagle stuffed animal. It seems... that was the last thing I dared to keep, in the most beautiful memories of my life. 18 I expertly climbed the wall back to the orphanage. As a result, as soon as he jumped in, he bumped into the director who was going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. He stared, not daring to believe it, rubbing his eyes several times. I didn't change my expression, walked past him, and said calmly: "That's right, you didn't see wrong. Your aunt is back." Director: “!” He immediately chased after him: "Isn't that right, big sister?! You were sent home in the middle of the night?!" “Wait, why did you only bring such a small bag? That family didn't let you bring anything, and didn't even bother to pack your things, so you're sending me away?!” "I know, I know! It's only been a while—" "Sigh, I guess no one will want to adopt you in the future... Just obediently stay at the orphanage in peace..." I didn't say anything, just headed straight towards my familiar dark room. But the more I walked, the more tight my chest became. I suddenly wanted to go back, run home as quickly as possible, and jump into the warm arms of my parents and brother. Immediately, his throat choked, and two drops of hot water suddenly fell from the corner of his eyes. I didn't pay attention, just kept going. Until— The Director shouted in surprise: "Wait, are you crying?! Huh? Are you really crying?! Isn't that fake?!" I reflexively reached out to touch my eyes. Wet. Ah… I'm really crying. The director continued to scream: "Since you came here, I have never seen you shed a single tear! Oh my god! What just happened?! Who made our little overlord cry like this?!" “Could it be… they beat me?!” "Damn! Looks like you're rich and decent, but you act so dishonestly?! Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll take you to their house and ask them why!" I cried and pulled him back: "No... hu hu hu... no..." The Director was really panicked. He kept running to find tissues to wipe my tears. "Please don't cry anymore... am I wrong... if you have any resentment, just tell me..." "Tomorrow, tomorrow I invite your Aunt Sau and Uncle Vuong to come to their company to hang a banner and curse to satisfy me, is that okay?" “Don't cry anymore, my little ancestor…” 19 I cried until dawn. Just a little bit of sleep when— Outside the door, commotion began. There was also the sound of the dean shouting: "Go away!" "You guys are not welcome! Go away! How dare you make our little overlord cry like this?!" "Do you know who it is?! It's a treasure that even we can't bear to make it cry!" …… I was lying on the bed. Hearing this, I almost vomited. Can't sleep anymore. I'm afraid he won't be able to hear me if he says a few more words. I quickly jumped up and ran out the door, without even having time to put on my shoes. Parents and brother? Have they really come looking for me? It turns out... They love me so much position. But... But... No way. I slowly stopped walking, quietly hid behind the door, and secretly looked out. Indeed they are. They were arguing fiercely with the director in the yard. But I didn't see my brother anywhere. Ah… Aren't you coming? Yes, that's right. Today is Wednesday. He still has to go to school... I bowed my head, feeling a bit disappointed. At that moment, a familiar voice rang out behind him, panting: "Luc Ngu." My whole body jumped. It's my brother! That's not right... How did you find me?! I turned my head. Sure enough, Luc Trong Tinh was standing not far away, sweating profusely, his clothes covered in dust, his face tired, and his whole body in indescribable pain. “Come here, Luc Ngu.” His voice was hoarse, trembling slightly, as if trying to suppress a rising anger. “Don't make me have to say it a second time.” Oh ho. It seems he is angry. Dead. My brother looked so handsome when he was angry. But… Now is not the time to look anymore. I took a step back. "Brother, I won't go back with everyone. Please go home." Having finished speaking, I turned around and ran. But after only running two steps, an arm grabbed me tightly around my waist and lifted me up. “Caught it.” His low whisper rang in his ear. “Let's go home, don't make trouble anymore.” I struggled: "What are you doing?!" "I told you! I only bring bad luck to everyone! Why... why do you still come to find me?! Everyone shouldn't have adopted me in the first place! I'm a disaster!" However— his embrace tightened even more. “Tieu Ngu, you're not.” "You are not a disaster. You are a blessing. A blessing to our family." I don't know when, my parents also arrived. Behind me, the dean was screaming loudly to stop me, but my father only took one look before he shrunk his neck and turned back. “Tieu Ngu.” Mom squatted down and gently stroked my hair. "You are our daughter. Trong Tinh's younger sister. That... will never change. We... will never abandon you." "Besides, what happened recently has nothing to do with you. You don't need to blame yourself." "Before, our parents also had an accident. We didn't have children at that time, right?" Maybe because my mother's voice was so gentle and steadfast— my tears began to roll down uncontrollably again. …… Director: “……Please forgive me, I was so deceived that I… want to retire…” 20 Perhaps, it is as they said. After that…no more bad luck happened. Every day that passes is so simple. Peaceful. And happy. I'm no longer that "evil woman" anymore. But he was a normal child, loved by his parents and cherished by his older brother. (Complete)
