You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Mother’s Gift

Edie kept thinking about the auction the next day and didn’t sleep well all night. She fell asleep in the early hours of the morning. She didn’t know if she had a dream because she had been thinking about it earlier and now she actually dreamed of her mother.

That was when she was twelve years old. In the hospital ward, her mother was tortured by cancer, and her face became paler. Edie sat on her bedside, just crying. She didn’t know what to do.

"Edie..." Her mother called her weakly. Edie quickly wiped her tears and put her face to hers. She said to his mother, "Mom, I am here." Because of the violent rejection of the drug, her mother was very poor in spirit, and her eyes were out of focus, but she still tried hard to look at her little daughter in front of her.

"Edie, you are a strong and good girl. In the future take good care of yourself." The little girl held back her tears as she refused to let them flow. She nodded hard and said, "Mom, don’t worry. I will take good care of myself."

Her mother showed a gratifying smile, and then she frowned because she was in so much pain. Her smile was a flash because it was so short, so it was exceptionally beautiful. Her mom took a deep breath, and she seemed to be trying to suppress the physiological pain, then reached out and took a delicate jewelry box from under the pillow and handed it to Edie.

"Edie, this is a gift that I give to you." Edie took the box and carefully opened it. After all, she was still a child. She was shocked by the light and said, "wow, it’s beautiful."

Inside the box was a beautiful diamond necklace. The finely cut diamonds were polished very well. Each cut surface reflected the beautiful light, shining like a star.

"This necklace is called the sea of stars. It was your grandfather who gave it to me when I was eighteen years old. I had hoped that I could wear them when I get married. Unfortunately, I let him down. Your grandfather and I broke up the relationship. He didn’t want to forgive me until now. Edie, I hope that you won’t repeat my mistakes. I hope you marry someone who really loves you in the future. When you wear this necklace at your wedding, even if I can’t see it, it will make me very happy."

Although the age of Edie was very young, she was the only relative of her mother, and many of the doctors did not deliberately tell Edie about her mother’s condition. She did know that her mother may not make it. When she heard her mother confessing her last words, her eyes were red again, and she said, "Mom, I know, I will wear this necklace when I get married."

"You are a good girl, but unfortunately, I can no longer take care of you. I have already contacted your father. He promised me that he would pick you up after my death. You have to be strong and try your hardest to get along with your new family." freeweɓnøvel.com

However, the obedient Edie shook her head at this time, "No, no new family, my family is only you, my mother." Her mother’s smile was bitter, "Silly Kid, don’t say this if you let the people of Greg’s family hear this they will treat you poorly."

Edie was stubborn, "This is all true. Why can’t I say it? You have been in the hospital for half a year, and he has never seen you. He is not my father."

"In the end, it’s all my fault. I don’t know who he is. I didn’t know that he was married at that time and I ran away with him. Not only did my own relatives and I break the relationship, but it also caused you to miss your father’s love for so many years."

As her mom said this, there were tears in her eyes, "It is all my fault." Edie got into her mother’s arms and cried, "I don’t need a father. I only need my mother." The mother and the daughter were now both in tears.

Then the dream began to break because, at that time in her life, the memories were very chaotic. When her mother died, she was unable to handle the funeral. She had never seen her father, and Stanley Greg finally appeared.

Stanley had a simple funeral for her mother, and he tried to do almost everything in the simplest way. Edie lost her only relative and cried every day. Therefore, she was not liked by Stanley. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

But after all, it was his child, and he couldn’t really ignore her. Stanley finally took her back to Greg’s House on a cold, wet rainy day. Stanley had already told this to Mrs. Greg beforehand, but when Mrs. Greg saw Edie, her face was ugly and gloomy like the weather.

"This is your kid?"

Edie heard her words and started to tremble. She subconsciously hugged the fish tank in her arms. There were two small goldfish in the tank. They had been raised in her mother’s ward, and it was now taken to this strange family.

Mr. Greg did not want to comfort Edie and acted as cold as ice, "Edie, greet her." Edie whispered, "Madam." Mrs. Greg glanced at Edie from up to down, and then her eyes fell on the fish tank in the arms of Edie.

"It is fine if you keep a dog, and you raise fish? Do you want to open a zoo here? What dirty thing you are."

Edie was stunned, and she still didn’t know why Mrs. Greg was scolding her. Many years later, she realized that the "raising dog" was referring to raising her. Stanley did not want his wife to be unhappy. He told Edie, "Edie, throw the fish tank out."

Edie glanced at the two adults in front of her and held the fish tank in her arms tighter. Seeing that Edie dared to disobey his orders, Mrs. Greg sneered, suddenly stood up, and walked in front of Edie in two steps. She took the fish tank in her hands and threw it on the ground.

The glass shattered, and the water splashed. A few drops of cold water splashed onto her face. Edie suddenly woke up from the bed and was shouting, "why would you do that, they were mine; it was all I had of my mom."

Suddenly waking up from the nightmare, Edie still did not know whether she was in a dream or if it was reality. Touching her cheek, there were actually a few drops of water on her face. A cool breeze blew in, and Edie turned to look out of the window and found that the sky had gradually turned bright.

She didn’t know when it would rain. Some rain fell into the room and landed on her face. Edie slowly took a deep breath to suppress the terrible dream in her heart. Fortunately, she has grown up, and she can take care of herself now.

"Mom, I will definitely get the necklace back, I will not let you down."

Edie said softly, both to herself and to her mother in heaven. After a while, the sound of someone knocking on the door echoed in her room, and Carol said, "Edie, your breakfast is ready." Edie cleared her throat and said as usual, "Okay, I will be down shortly."
