Translator: Henyee Translations   Editor: Henyee Translations
Harper: âLater on, I was lucky and didnât die. My illness slowly recovered. I also understood that when one lives, they have to earn their own money. Itâs better to rely on yourself than on anyone else.â But he had already become so sensible. The adults in the family were still dissatisfiedâŠ
Amelia felt her heart ache. Although Brother Harperâs health had improved, his heart had never recovered, right?
Amelia didnât say a word. She hugged Harper. âBrother, donât be afraidâŠâ She patted Harperâs back like two pitiful little people who relied on each other.
âMia used to be like this too, but it got better later⊠Grandpa, Grandma, and Eldest Uncle just donât understand. They didnât do it on purpose, so can you forgive them?â
Harper pursed his lips and his eyes secretly turned red. However, he felt that he looked so pitiful, so he pushed Amelia away.
William also remembered that when he was very young, there was once a huge fight between Sarah and Mrs. Walton. It was probably around the time Emmaâs sister was born, and it happened to be after Auntie Helena went missing. When Grandma was seriously ill and sitting in a wheelchair, he only remembered that Harper locked the door and did not eat. Grandma brought the food upstairs. In the end, Sarah said that Grandma was spoiling Harper. Then, she said that she knew how to educate her own child. A qualified mother-in-law should not interfere in her daughter-in-lawâs family matters. It was also at that time that Grandma moved to the sanatorium and never came back. William remembered that at first, after Grandma finished her recovery, she would come home. Later, she lived in the sanatorium long term.
âAt that time, I went to knock on your door, but you didnât open the door and even told me to get lost.â William frowned. At that time, he really didnât know that Harper had fallen from the second floor and was injured. Sarah told him that Harper had a cold and was too delicate. He deliberately lost his temper and fought with Emma for favor. Sarah didnât let the family interfere. She said that she had to be hard-hearted to boys and that a loving mother would hurt her childrenâŠ
Harper glanced away, his face full of impatience. âWhy should I open the door? If you really cared about me, you would have broken in. You didnât come in either!â
William opened his mouth. At that time, Fifth Uncle Eric had told him that Harper had a mother. No matter what, he was Sarahâs biological son. Sarah would not ignore him. William felt that this made sense. After all, he had yearned for a mother back then and felt that a mother was good. Who knewâŠ
William pursed his lips and snorted. He said stubbornly, âAt least you have a mother. We donât!â
Harper said, âIâd rather not have one.â
William: ââŠâ He was speechless.
Amelia held the ointment and comforted Harper as she applied it. âAlright, alright, donât say anymore! Brother Harper, if you donât want to forgive, then donât forgive. You can forgive when you think you can, okay?â There was an inexplicable warmth in her soft voice as she nagged like Mrs. Walton. âThe suffering of the past is like fighting a monster. We have to defeat it. After defeating it, every day in the future will be a super good day! Daddy also said that no matter how dark the days are, we have to learn to collect sunlightâŠâ
Amelia was very optimistic. As she spoke, she applied the ointment on Harper seriously. Harper was silent and snorted. He inadvertently glanced at the mirror and was dumbfounded. âAmelia! Is this how you apply the ointment on me?!â
Harperâs face was covered in ointment. He had just fought William, and his hair was still in a mess. At a glance, he looked like a ghost!
William cursed and jumped up from the sofa on reflex. âl told you you were possessed!â
Harper:
The two of them bickered for a while more. Although they were both calling each other idiots, their relationship was much closer than before.
Before going to bed, Amelia lay on the bed and poked Grandpa Turtle, who was lying at the bottom of the bed. âGrandpa Turtle, why donât you need to take exams to be someoneâs parents? Sister Emma, Brother William, and Brother Lucas all need to take exams. Why donât parents have exams?â People like Second Aunt Sarah and her father at the Millersâ, Jonathan, were obviously parents who had failed the exams. Such parents who had failed the exams shouldnât be parents.
Grandpa Turtle lay on the ground and stuck out his head, limbs, and tail. Without the parrot, Seven, bullying him at night, he was very relaxed, but he could not answer Ameliaâs question.. Even if he could answer, he would say that he did not knowâŠ
