Paths that 25

Chapter

The high fever came on fiercely

I was in a state of confusion, my whole body was in excruciating pain, and I curled up in bed, tossing 

and turning

The north wind was howling outside the window, and in a daze, I dreamt of the past

I was lying on Terrance’s back and asked, Terrance, what would happen if I died?” 

He carried me steadily forward on his back, whispering to me, Don’t talk nonsense, it’s just

fever, you’ll be fine after getting the injection.” 

Hey, do you have enough money for your living expenses? Vaccinations were expensive.” 

It doesn’t matter.” 

How could it be okay? How many jobs did you work?” 

Terrance didn’t answer. He placed me at the nurse’s station and squatted in front of me, saying 

earnestly

As long as you are safe and sound, it doesn’t matter what happens to me

I huddled in my thick down jacket, agonizingly saying, When Mom and Dad stop arguing, I will ask 

them to give me the living expenses to pay you back.” 

Terrance touched my hair and looked at me with gentle eyes, Believe me. We will have money in 

the future.” 

But I did not have a peaceful and safe life as he had hoped

The night when Terrance went to another province to participate in the competition, I came home and pushed open my parentsbedroom

Dad held another woman in his arms

My glamorous life started to crumble from that moment

Following that, intense arguments erupted between the parents, and the father left without a word. The Cordova family found themselves burdened with mounting debts

One late night, a group of middleaged debt collectors showed up at the door

The swaying lamp above, the man’s excited shouts, the dull pain and nauseating touch of the skin, and the mother’s heartwrenching scolding, all mixed together into a mess, surging and churning 

in the mind

The scene sped up as if the fastforward button had been pressed

Chapter

1/4 

My mother was forced to death in the bathtub by the creditors

Alma discovered my nakedness and took me to the distant Vertdeer

On a rainy day, I huddled in a corner of the hospital, dressed in mourning clothes, with a disheveled 

look

Did she have any relatives with hereditary depression?” 

Alma looked at me with concern and said, I had a boyfriend who was participating in a competition 

out of town.” 

Notify him to come over,the doctor’s words, mixed with some professional terms, She is 

currently showing clear suicidal tendencies, and the treatment is very challenging. For the next few 

years, she will need constant support, and the family should be prepared for a long battle.” 

At that time, my mental state couldn’t support me to report to the police and seek justice

Alma and I were like two outcasts

He discarded his armor and helmet and fled from the place where he had lived since childhood

On the same day, Terrance’s name was the first one on the list of winners in the competition

He obtained the opportunity to go abroad

I made a phone call

When I picked up the phone, there was a howling wind on the other end

Elliana,Terrance’s voice was incredibly gentle, I promise you

marry you.” 

three years 

from 

now, 

I will 

I looked at the slowly closing iron gate and could no longer find my way back home

Terrance, Imay not be able to be with you anymore.” 

I held back my sobbing, and tears silently fell down

He held his breath, Why?” 

I opened my mouth, and at that moment, I hesitated

His future was bright

Do you really want to selfishly trap Terrance’s later life in the continuous rainy Vertdeer

Outside the window, a girl cried uncontrollably, separated by a fence

The boy’s face was filled with sadness and disgust

Chapter

2/4 

I saw the look of love disappearing from the eyes, which was despairing

The wind blew the hair, revealing the bruised and pinched marks under the neck

I wiped away my tears and said, Terrance, you’re fine, let’s just forget about it.”
