3 Father Zhao and Mother Zhao

"Zhao Ying Zhen"

His voice, still cold as ever, without a hint of affection when he's calling me. Looking towards his piercing eyes, my hands underneath the covers couldn't help but tighten and broke through my skin drawing blood.

But I didn't care, because only the words that left my father made me broke even more.

"You have brought shame into the Zhao family, we also think that the best thing to do is for you to go to Angel Wings Asylum. The best doctors will help you recover your...illness" His words were final and his tone held no more argument abut the matter.

His words were like a knife plunging on my heart and twisting it in a painful way. My eyes were vacant, but the beating of my heart ceased to slow, my mind conjured up thoughts and made me still for a moment.

Then I have a realization. That's right. I have shamed them and now, it's my turn to be shamed.

"Do not worry my child, they will help you and after you become fine.....we....we would still a-accept you"

My eyes flew into her warm ones, but all I could feel was pure coldness. My mother, my sweet, sweet mother who acts like the virgin mary she is. But behind those warm smiles and genuine eyes held malice and disgust.

I used to call for her when I was always sick, always try to excel in my studies and be the smart and innocent girl she named me to be. But alas, all of it was just thrown into the deep abyss of forgetfulness when my older sister shined more than me.

"Why can't you say anything? My child, do not fret for I am here. Mother is here" Her hands like claws tried to take mine so I avoided it, not minding the 'hurt' in her eyes as her lips trembled as if she were to cry.

"Zhou Ying Zhen! That is your mother! How could we have sheltered an ungrateful child?! We have given you the best clothing, food, education and property! How could you act like that towards your parents? You must really be crazy!I knew it! We shouldn't have let you live we should have-"

"Shut up! Stop it! Ahhhh! Stop it, stop it, stop it! Ahh!"

All I could do was to shout the words, my eyes were blurred but the image of my parents enraged with me and wishing for me to die remained in my head. No matter how much I cry and experience these things, I couldn't help but wish to just die like they want me to.

Then I could feel the hands of someone holding me, several people with white clothes have swarm in my room and I was left unconscious by the needle that was plunged into my neck. Then darkness overcome my senses, but not before seeing the pitiful eyes of my older sister, crying with her hands on her mouth.

Behind her was Wei Feng Li , looking at me with an indescribable emotion that lead me succumb to the darkness, still wishing for my end.
