Chapter 383 Go Home

Dad, who had been silent the entire time, came to my side and knelt beside Mom.

The last perseverance in my heart crumbled at that moment. I felt as though I had fallen into a dark abyss, forever trapped in the dark, never able to see the bright sun again.

“Dad, do you want me to take the blame too for something that I did not do, just like Mom?”

My face was as white as a sheet. My entire body was trembling. Even though I already knew the answer to my question, I refused to believe it. Am I not important to them at all?

“Anna, we’re begging you. We’ve raised you to be who you are today. It wasn’t easy for us. Consider this the last thing you’re doing for us. I promise you that this will be the last time.” Mom squeezed my hand tightly.

My entire body was shivering from the coldness surrounding my heart. I felt as though I was drowning in icy waters.

I inhaled deeply to stop the tears from falling. I didn’t want to take the blame, but my heart gave in to their pleas. Their actions that day had disappointed me greatly.

“All right. I’ll promise you, but you will no longer be my parents after this incident. I don’t have heartless parents like both of you,” I screamed at them, then spun around and left.

Unable to hold it back any longer, I let the tears of despair flow down my face once I turned around.

I had never expected my family to be so cruel. I never thought they would sacrifice me to protect Steven regardless of how I felt.

Why? Why are they doing this to me?

I was unwilling to accept the truth. I wanted to turn back and scream at them and let them know that I was their daughter. How could they be so unsympathetic toward me? Wouldn’t their conscience hurt when they treated me like this?
