Chapter 54 – Yearning a Family’s Love

*splash*

*splash**splash*

Silence.

The whole world seemed to be frozen in place.

A lone girl stood within the audience as tears streaked down her pale cheeks.

“Rory… “

Her heart was crushed as she saw the mutilated state of her little brother. A feeling of desperation suffocated her mind, as she felt her heart numbing to all emotions.

She wanted to feel angry, but besides the soul-crushing pain in her heart, she could not muster up the will to feel any anger.

Her heartbeat slowed down as she continued to gaze at the broken figure of her little brother.

Fatty’s right arm was twisted, as fragments of his bone stood out against the dark crimson blood covering his body.

Multiple cuts and wounds were scattered across his body, and even his clothes were completely shred apart, with his split skin clearly visible.

Blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth and nose, as it slowly dripped onto the stage.

*splash*

Her knees starting quivering as she continued to see the sight of her brother in that state. Felice recalled their childhood memories, and the countless times that Fatty had tried to gain the attention of her parents, but only to be rejected and ignored, time after time.

However, his eyes never lost their luster, as her little brother continued to hope that one day, he would have a family that accepted him.

As each drop of blood dripped from Fatty’s body, Felice felt the life of her little brother slowly drain away…

…………………………

“Big sister! Look at these pebbles! I collected them all for you!”

A cute chubby boy with dark black hair excitedly shouted, as he ran towards a little girl with equally dark hair.

The little girl stood just a little bit taller than the chubby boy, as her ice-blue eyes twinkled in happiness when she saw the boy running towards her.

“Rory, quiet down! The guards might hear you and then they will tell my mother! She was already quite furious when she saw me giving you candy yesterday!”

Felice quickly shushed down the chubby boy as he arrived in front of her.

However, the joy in her face and eyes remained unperturbed.

“Hehe, it’s alright! Big sister, look, this is the prettiest stone I found! It’s blue, just like your eyes!”

The chubby cheerfully said as his arctic blue eyes shined with life.

“You are so cuuute!”

Felice suddenly exclaimed as she grabbed the chubby boy and tightly hugged him, while pinching his cheeks with her other arm.

“Keke, aren’t I so handsome?”

The chubby boy proudly boasted as the little girl continued to hug him.

“Of course! Rory will always be the one I love the most!”

The little girl softly stated, as she petted the boy’s hair.

“I love big sister as well!”

The small chubby boy cheerfully responded as he rubbed his head against his sister’s belly.

“Hahaha, Rory, stop! That is tickling me! Hahaha”

The merry sound of two children laughing and giggling filled the empty garden as the gentle breeze embraced them.

“Big sis… why does step-mother hate me so much?”

The chubby boy suddenly asked as he sat down on the grass.

A sad and lonely expression flickered across his face, as he gazed into his sister’s eyes.

The little girl felt her heart twist with pain, as she saw the forlorn look in her brother’s face.

“I don’t know, Rory… I’ve asked her many times, but she refuses to answer.”
