Chapter 10 Today was a Sunday . As soon as I opened the door , I saw Julian holding onto a large photo album . He acted casually , slipping through the door crack and sat on the couch . It was as if he had forgotten that he had called me to beg for his forgiveness the last time he was here . Julian flipped open the photo album and pulled me over . " Look , Mommy - this was when I was still in your tummy ! And this was when I was just born ! Aren't I cute ? Grandma said I was the cutest baby in the entire hospital ! " He was trying to stir up my motherly love for him. But as I looked at my photo , all I felt was a deep sense of pity for the person I was back then . I was looking gaunt in the photo , yet my belly was round and swollen . Back then , I was tormented by morning sickness , throwing up everything I ate . I looked completely drained, even my hair was dry and lifeless . Julian was especially mischievous , always kicking me in the middle of the night . Looking at the photos , I couldn't help but sigh . " How selfish . " " What did you say , Mommy ? " Julian looked at me , confused . " In the photos , I was weak and frail from my pregnancy , yet your focus was only on yourself . You had no idea how hard it was for me to carry you throughout my pregnancy term . " Julian would never empathize with me , nor would he understand the sacrifices I made for him . He was the same as Yohan - they were both egotistical people . I closed the photo album . " Please leave . These photos only remind me of my painful memories . " Julian made a fuss and refused to leave . In the end , the Palmers ' housekeeper , George Fisher , had to bring him back . Julian was upset after he left the last time . He showed up again a few days later, this time with a ceramic plate in hand . " Mommy , look ! This is the plate you made for me . You said you worked on it the whole day . " " Oh ? So why was it broken then ? " I asked . Julian started stammering , but I knew it was shattered by him. He found it too ugly and was too embarrassed to bring it to school . The shattered ceramic pieces even cut into my arm , leaving a scar that still hadn't faded . I wasn't particularly an artistic person . This ceramic plate was the best among the dozen I had made . png 1/2 Chapter 10 +25 Bonus In the end , Yohan bought him a piece from an artist to bring to school , while I painstakingly glued this plate back together piece by piece . But regardless of what it was , once it was cracked , it could never be recovered completely . " This is already defective , " I said , casually tossing it into the trash , shattering it at once . " Since you already have a brand new replacement , there's no need for you to keep this . " Julian stared at the shattered plate , taken aback . After that , he realized something and looked up happily . " Did you recover your memories and remember me , Mommy ? " I shook my head . " I never did lose my memories . I just no longer wanted to remember anything to do with you and Yohan . " I wasn't planning to say anything more to him . I kicked him out , and he left dejectedly . There was a social gathering involving alcohol this evening . Samuel insisted on coming along when he found out about it . He was worried I might drink too much , but he was the one who was unable to hold his liquor . As we both had drinks , none of us could drive . Since it was close to home , I helped Samuel up and planned to walk home , hoping that the cold wind might help sober us up. While he was drunk , I pretended to ask him nonchalantly , " Do you like me , Samuel ? " Samuel's eyes lit up as he stared at me for a good while . He then averted his gaze suddenly and nodded firmly , his face red . My heart was racing wildly , and I quickly switched the topic . " What drinks did you have earlier ? " Samuel pondered for a moment before replying , " I think it's brandy . " " Is that so ? Can you bend down for a bit ? " I asked . Samuel bent down obediently and looked at me . His lips were full and plump , and I reached out to press a kiss on him . I licked my lips to savor the taste - it felt soft , like an alcoholic marshmallow . Samuel , despite being drunk , widened his eyes in shock as he was caught off guard . Diagnosed with terminal cancer and given three months to live, she starts taking revenge on those who hurt her. Then, a call from the doctor reveals it was a misdiagnosis!
