28 Daniel's Parents

Few weeks passed by quickly...

Today, all of a sudden, there are two special visitors who are visiting this afternoon. I asked David if he know anything about it, he shook his head. I really hope it's not Uncle Li.

Afternoon came pretty fast, there was a knock at the door and David opened it.

It wasn't Uncle Li. I guess they are Daniel's parents?

"You are Daniel's real parents, right?" David asked.

They both nodded. Then David showed them where to sit and they followed him.

Daniel started to stiffen up, I told him everything is going okay as I held his hand. He nodded.

I don't know why they are here but I really don't like the aura.

David asked them if they have anything to say. They said they do. I hope they apologize to Daniel.

"Daniel, we came here today to say that we are sorry for what happened before. Your mom and I... I mean... we got bribed my your uncle. I thought you were going to be fine with him. Please forgive us. We are sorry." Said Daniel's father.

"If you're sorry, then leave. I don't want to talk to you guys ever again. Do you know how much torture I had to go through!! I thought you loved me!! Why did you let someone else adopt me? Why did you abandon me? Why did you leave me alone in the house when it's all full of smoke? Did you guys want to murder me? Do you know how much I wanted to commit suicide?!! Why did my grandpa had to be killed? WHYYY!! I lost both of my eyesight and it's all because of you guys!!" Daniel was shaking uncontrollably. "It was only Crystal who showed me the will to live on. She was with me when I suffered, when I had no one to cry on nor can depend on, it was Crystal. When I wanted to kill myself, Crystal was there to comfort me. If it's not because of Crystal... I wouldn't even be here." Daniel said with angry voice. I rubbed his back until he calmed down.

"We are terribly sorry. We're sorry." Replied his parent.

"Leave! before I change my mind. You are not my parents. You're strangers. Go!" Said Daniel angrily.

After they bowed, they left. David and James went out to give us some time.

After they left, I hugged Daniel tightly. I couldn't let go. He cried, " Crystal, it's so painful. I'm in pain!! It's too painful!!" I replied, "I know. I know, honey. I know. Let everything out, it's okay to cry. I'm here for you." As I hugged Daniel tightly. He didn't want to let me go. He cried his heart out, all the pain he's been bottling up ever since he was young poured out like a tsunami wave.

I rubbed his back and kissed him on the forehead. I kept on hugging him until he finally calmed down.

It was hard to see him this vulnerable. It was very difficult.
