"Sir, we know you are angry. But we have to talk about it with a cool head. We really don't know anything. Getting angry like this won't help us find a solution." Bella held Jacob's hand which almost flew to her husband's face.
Successfully digesting Bella's words, Jacob's hand began to weaken and slowly lowered. His red face started to return to normal. It's true what his wife said. All of this was beyond their control. "Argh!" Jacob waved his hand in the air. He was still thinking about the bad luck that befell his daughter.
"Hurry up and find out the culprit! Don't come back here before it's all revealed. From today onwards Ozora will no longer live there."

"Mommy!" Daphnee and Daven's voices filled the room. The twins who were eight years old immediately ran over and climbed onto the bed. Meanwhile, Geona, who was fourteen years old, begins to understand what was happening to her adopted sister. Before leaving for the hospital Aster had told her because she kept pressing to know what had happened.
"We brought your favorite food. Let's eat together, okay?" Geona took out a food container and Aster immediately helped her.
"Wow, these are all Ozo's favorite foods. You must have asked the maid to prepare it. It's true that good brother and sisters should treat their older sister sweetly." Aster said that on purpose and glanced at Ozora with the corner of her eyes. "Let me feed your sister!"
"I will feed her, Mom." Dave spoke.
"I also want to." Her twin sister also joined.
"How about we take turns?" Aster, who was happy to see the attention of her three children. She smiled and gave a solution.
"Agree! But I'm the first." Geona exclaimed as she took over the food in her mother's hand. She immediately sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Ozora's face. They are only a year apart in age. But their fates were very different.
"Eat a lot, okay?" Geona filled a spoon with food and then fed a girl with curly hair who was sitting leaning on the bed. Ozora looked at her face while taking a bribe.
"Bubb!" Suddenly Ozora hugged Geona and broke into tears there.
It was nice to see a teenage girl who was almost the same age as her. At least they could share stories with each other. And it's been going on for four years. Geona was not just a child of her adoptive father, but Geona had become a sister, friend, and friend to share stories with.
"What happened, Mom?" Daphnee, who was little, was surprised to see Ozora sobbing like that.
"How about we buy ice cream for them? Do you want your big sister to smile again?" Aster understands. The two teenagers need time alone. That's why she took her twins out of the room.
"Yieee! I want chocolate flavored ice cream topped with jelly and almonds." Daphnee raised her hand and was overjoyed.
"Come on-come on before daddy comes." Aster immediately held the hands of the little son and daughter to immediately leave from there.
Geona still let Ozora vent the sadness on her shoulders. From a young age, she was used to listening to people's complaints. That's why she aspires to become a Play and art therapist.
"Mommy has told me everything. We will face it together." Those two sentences were all that Geona said, but her sister felt relieved instantly. Feeling someone was helping her to bear the burden.
Ozora's life was very tragic. Since childhood, the nickname as an illegitimate child and bad luck has became her daily meal. The blows she received from her stepfather made her invulnerable. The bullies and shocks she received while at the orphanage had become her closest friends. But no matter how bad it was, she could say that God was still good because sending a warm family ready for her.
"Thank you, Geona." Holding Geona's hand and looking at the girl sadly.

Ernest and Bella already had a prime suspect. The disappearance of the security guard at the orphanage was suspect. They immediately reported to the police to find out the whereabouts of the unscrupulous man. Not a great criminal, so the police didn't have to spend extra energy to find him. The man fled to his hometown.
It's been three months. Professional assistance also stepped in to help Ozora mentally. But recovering from trauma was not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. Until adulthood Ozora had trauma to men. Only three men are trusted. Jacob, Ernest, and her younger brother Daven. Too much being hurt by men made her build a thick fort from getting involved with the being called the man.
"Mom!" Ozora called Aster who was reading a thick book on the sofa. She has been living in the family's house for three months.
"What is it, honey?" Aster immediately saw her face and was ready to listen to what Ozora had to say.
"Mommy Bella called. She said there was a big event tomorrow at the orphanage. Some donors came and Mommy Bella wanted me to come. Can I go there, Mom?"
"You can, honey. But I can not go with you because I have to accompany your daddy out of town. The driver will take you there. Sorry that you have to go alone. Your younger siblings are also busy with their school activities."
"It's okay, Mom. I can go with the driver."

"Do you remember the man who used to play here with his two friends?" Cana was excited when she found out who was coming.
"Who?" one of her friends asked.
"They are students who used to love to play here. I heard their parents are donors here. That's why they came here too."
"The guy who used to defend Ozo when you fell, huh?" Cana's friend recalled the most annoying memories. When Cana wanted to blame Ozora, the man came and defended her friend.
"Yes. But this time only us will get the attention because that bastard Ozo doesn't live here anymore." A satisfied smile appeared on Cana's beautiful face. It was undeniable, her face was beautiful but her heart was full of envy and envy.
"Looks like you're wrong. Mommy Bella deliberately invited Ozora to come here."
"I can't let Ozora take their attention. We have to find a way so that attention-seeking girl give up and don't want to come here anymore. You don't want it if everyone just likes her, right?"
"Of course not." They shouted together.
"Good! You have to help me with my plan."
