Chapter 53
The two friends looked at her and instantly understood, their faces filled with envy. “So young and tender, why don’t we have such good fortune?”
She got scared and ran out, trembling hands dialing Liliana’s phone number on the rural public telephone.
The phone was answered, and scalding tears fell down like broken beads. She cried out in helplessness and fear, “Mom… Mom, save me…
There came Jennifer’s happy and proud voice from over there, “Who are you? This is my mother’s phone, not yours. My mother only has me as her daughter.”
She was stunned.
Soon Liliana’s gentle and loving voice came from the other end, “Princess. Jennifer, today is your birthday. Come and see the pearl crown that mommy bought for you. Your classmates are all here, looking for you. Later, you will perform a dance.”
Jennifer nodded happily and said, “Thank you, Mom.”
That day was Jennifer’s birthday.
She despairingly hung up the phone and dared not go back to Timothy
She walked alone, walking and walking, and entered a forest.
She encountered the severely injured Wayne in the forest.
Wayne said, “Take her away.”
Wayne said that nobody wanted her but he wanted her.

Two people embraced and fell asleep. The next morning, he developed a high fever and kept murmuring, “Water, water…“. So, she ran out of the cave alone to find herbs to reduce his fever and water.
But when she went back, the cave was empty and he was already gone.
She waited for him in that cave for many days. She believed Teddy Bear would come and take her away. She believed Teddy Bear would want her.
However, that beast Timothy came over.
During the days she was away from home, Timothy had been searching for her. He slapped her and knocked her down to the ground, angrily cursing. “You little slut, how dare you run away secretly? You are mine, understand? You are supposed to serve me!”

He gasped heavily as he pinned her to the ground and began tearing thin, old dress. “I can’t wait anymore, watch how I kill you!”
She was trembling all over at that time, her teeth were chattering. She secretly reached for a defensive tree branch and forcefully stabbed the sharp tip into Timothy’s eye.
Timothy fell to the ground, his face covered in blood.
He lost one eye.
She personally sent him to the court, and he was sentenced to ten years.
Danica closed her eyes and freed herself from that dark past. It is said that an unfortunate childhood takes a lifetime to heal, and she has been healing herself all these years.
She tried very hard, very hard, to pull little Danica out of that unbearable, painful, helpless old time.
She was saving herself.
The evening breeze was refreshing and pleasant. People walking together on the street had smiles on their faces. Danica felt a bit cold, so she raised her hands and hugged herself, feeling alone.
Danica returned to the Hamilton family mansion and wanted to see her grandmother.
At the door of Sherlyn’s room, she saw Sherlyn talking to Wayne.
Sherlyn lovingly said, “Wayne, today Dani’s foster father came over, and I noticed that Dani wasn’t feeling quite right. You should spend more time. caring for Dani.”
Sherlyn sighed and said, “Dani was sent to the countryside when she was young. Her biological father left early, and her mother was not kind to her. I could tell that Dani was always lonely and longing to be loved.”
“Although Dani’s foster father was imprisoned for ten years, he was able to raise such a good Dani and even became a son–in–law to our Hamilton family. We should be grateful to him, the Hamilton family. See what he needs over there, a house, a job, money, arrange everything for him. It’s like fulfilling this filial duty on behalf of Dani.”
Sherlyn earnestly explained to Wayne.
Wayne’s handsome and noble face looked soft under the lights. He nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Grandma.”
Danica stood outside the door, her fair eye sockets suddenly misting up with glistening tears. Instead of going inside, she turned around and went back to her own room.
Wayne was dealing with documents in his study, and by the time he
returned to his room, it was already late at night.
Danica had already fallen asleep, her delicate body curled up into a small ball under the blanket.
Wayne rushed out of the shower and quickly spotted something on the bedside table – it was the one million dollar check he had given to Timothy.
She actually took back the one million dollar check.
What is currently on the bedside table is to be returned to him.
Wayne hooked his lips and his gaze fell on Danica’s face.
