Chapter 26
The next day.
The doorbell kept ringing non–stop, and Amanda thought it was Adam.
She opened the door and was about to mock him for being untrustworthy. But to her surprise, it was Terry, who was carrying two large bags of gifts and
looked embarrassed
Terry brought Amanda to the mental hospital where Grace was
“Amanda, not long after you left, Grace was sent to prison by Adam. But later on, she not only self–harmed, but also injured others several times, so Adam sent her here.”
Terry observed Amanda’s expression and said cautiously.
“So, what was your purpose in bringing me to see her?!!
Amanda was a little puzzled.
“I just want you to know that the bad people were punished, so don’t trouble yourself.”
Amanda was startled
“Why do you all think that I haven’t moved on and have been struggling with myself?”
It was sincere confusion
Terry repeatedly waved his hand, saying, “I didn’t mean that! Please don’t misunderstand. I…L‘
He couldn’t come up with any reason for a long time.
Amanda smiled faintly and said, “It’s okay. Where is she? I’ll go and see her.”
“Okay,” blushed, Terry quickly nodded.
Through the transparent glass window, Amanda saw Grace bound to a chair.
“Number 4108 is extremely unstable and is easily prone to hurting others.
“We have no choice but to handle the situation this way,”
“the nurse explained.
Ms. Grace was now just a cold and heartless sequence of numbers.
How similar to Amanda in those seven years.
“Most of the injuries on her body were from herself, and some were caused by us when we tried to feed her medicine or give her injections as a form of punishment for her non–cooperation. Mrs. Hacker and Mr. Powell both said that bumps and bruises were inevitable, as long as she is alive.”
Amanda stared at the scars on Grace’s arm for a long time, making the nurse feel somewhat guilty.
“Amanda, I just wish that after you know all this, you could have a good night’s sleep, and no one would ever hurt you again.”
Terry held Amanda’s hand, his expression still cautious,
He cared about the faint dark circles under her eyes, and he cared about the sleeping pills she placed on the coffee table.
“Amanda,

In this
Amanda did not stop him anymore
When she turned around and left, tears streamed down Grace’s face, who was bound to the chair.
No one cared anymore.
On December 21st, Amanda’s first a
art exhibition was held at the Timon Art Museum
The theme of this time was called “Rainy Season“.
In the art gallery, famous artists gathered.
Adam, wearing a black dress, stood in front of a huge and fiery red cotton tree
The kapok tree was being rained on.
But its red became even more brilliant, like a burning flame.
The name of this painting was “Fire in the Rain.”
Adam offered a high price to buy this painting, but he was rejected by Amanda.
Amanda hoped that the buyer of her paintings would be someone who truly understood the art in her paintings, rather than buying them out of guilt or
regret.
In Amanda’s heart, she wished him to suffer. She didn’t want to give him any chance for redemption.
After the art exhibition ended, Amanda returned to Grenadan.
After this parting, a long, long time passed, and they never saw each other again.
Adam occasionally saw
w the news on TV about Amanda holding art exhibitions in various countries around the world.
Sometimes he would also see her sharing her daily life on social media
She got tanned and gained weight, but she was truly happy.
Perhaps, the journey of life was just like this. Some people got on the bus and some people got off.
For some people, once they missed something, it lasted a lifetime.
Years later, a journalist Interviewed her, “Ms. Hacker, after becoming famous, why didn’t you choose to change your name, which is full of ambiguity?” Amanda calmly looked straight into the camera.
“I won’t change my name. I am a woman who emerged from the ruins, and I am not afraid for anyone to know. I was born in discrimination, but I bravely stood up.”
