After Being Abused to Death by My Foster Mother, I'm Reborn
Chapter 4
At dinner, Lucy didn't let me eat enough.
And after dinner, she locked me in a small dark room.
That was where kids who had made mistakes went.
It wasn't until I lay down on the bed that I felt a sense of reality.
Although my stomach was empty and it was dark and damp there, it was still much better than where I lived in my previous life.
I hadn't slept on such a soft bed in a long time.
After what happened that day, I thought Ella would give up the idea of adopting me.
But maybe she wouldn't. Just in case, I still had to make some preparations.
Just as I was thinking about that, a head popped out of the window.
I looked closely and saw that it was my good friend Polly Brown.
I ran over and said, "Polly!"
It was a pity that I couldn't hug her because of the window.
Polly smiled at me and gave me a mango through the window.
"Thank you, my dear Polly."
That was because she knew I hadn't eaten, so she brought me food.
Polly looked at me with her beautiful big eyes and said, "Bella, why didn't you go with that woman?"
"Because..."
Before I could say anything, there was a sound from the door behind me.
Polly ran away like a little rabbit, and I put the mango in my pocket.
Normally there were no mangoes in our food. The mango must have been stolen by Polly from the teacher's office, so I had to hide it.
A few seconds later, Linda came in with a bowl of noodles.
"Bella, you haven't eaten yet."
In my previous life, I loved Linda.
Although we had few opportunities to see her, whenever we saw her, there would be delicious food.
When I saw the bowl of noodles, I couldn't help swallowing.
Linda called me to come over and eat, and I started to eat without thinking.
She gently asked me the same question, "Bella, other children all want to have a family, but why don't you want to go with Ella? She has very good conditions."
I wanted to tell her about my rebirth, but I thought she might not believe it.
So I made up an excuse, "I don't want to leave Polly and the others."
"Is it that simple?"
Strangely, she asked me several more related questions.
I always insisted that I was reluctant to leave there.
When I finished eating, she gently told me, "You are already sixteen years old and have grown up. If you don't want to leave, we won't force you."
I was so happy that I quickly thanked her several times.
She took the bowl and left, then I lay back down on the bed.
Maybe because my concern was resolved, I fell asleep quickly.
I slept very deeply and well that time.
I didn't know how long I slept when I opened my eyes.
When I saw the white ceiling and the familiar cloud lights, I sat up in bed instantly.
I looked around.
My whole body froze in an instant.
I was too familiar with the furnishings there.
Not somewhere else, but in my bedroom at Ella's house.
What was going on?
Was I not in the orphanage?
