Chapter 288

Just like that, the three of us worked late into the night every day.

This was the first time our family was so united and harmonious. It was also the first time all of us were working together. With the three of us helping each other out, we looked like a happy and ordinary family.

A month later, Mom gave me 31 dollars to buy my favorite jewelry.

I could have bought my favorite necklace with that money, but I used it to buy three custom-made rings o f the same style with our names engraved on the back.

I called them 'family tokens' and joked that if we ever got separated in the future, I would use these to identify my relatives.

These were the happiest moments of my life, so they meant a lot to me.

After I lost the ring, I blamed myself for a very long time. It was a scar on my heart. I kept thinking that I did not deserve beautiful and expensive things, which was the reason why I did not wear any jewelry now.
