Love from My Dominant Boss

After having received confirmation of my guess, my lips curved into a mocking arc. And as I looked at my mother, disappointment showed in my eyes.

Well, well… It turns out that I’ve been looking at things through rose-colored glasses! My family isn’t sincere in being amiable to me. At the end of the day, they’re only putting on a show for Steven’s sake so that his subsequent medical expenses will be taken care of.

“Mom, I really wonder whether I’m your biological daughter. Why are you so cruel to me? What exactly have I done wrong?” I roared as I stared right into my mother’s eyes, trembling all over.

Those words had been bottled within me for a very long time, and I truly couldn’t suppress them anymore. I really wanted to know why there was such a huge disparity between Steven and me in her affections.

After bellowing that, I spun around and left in a flash. I didn’t want to listen to a single word further.

“What nonsense are you spouting, Anna?”

My mother’s infuriated bellow rang out behind me when I fled the room. Nonetheless, I ignored her and quickened my pace instead.

I sprinted to the yard behind the hospital with tears streaming down my face, my heart a mangled mess in my chest. Only then did I know that my mother would truly do anything at all for Steven, yet she couldn’t spare me even a smidge of love.

I plopped down on a bench in the yard. Many people coming and going stared at me, but I wasn’t bothered at all. I only wanted to cry my heart out so that I would feel better.

After crying for what seemed an eternity, a packet of tissue suddenly appeared before me. Taken aback, I looked up at the person in front of me, only for the rage within me to surge once again when Michael’s countenance greeted me.

Pushing Michael’s hand away, I shot to my feet.

“What are you doing here? Just why did you come to the hospital? And why did you say that you’ll bear all of Steven’s medical expenses?” I lambasted at the top of my lungs.

If he hadn’t said such a thing to my parents, I wouldn’t have learned that my mother only changed her attitude toward me because of Steven! I’d rather they keep being indifferent to me than to know the truth!
