Chapter 2

Anastasia looked at me innocently. “The guide dog had a fight with my wolf dog, Bailey it was a terrible fight. It was bitten to death. You won’t blame me, right? I didn’t mean it. You can see that Bailey is covered with wounds.”

The eyes were red instantly. There was no wound on the wolf dog.

Seeing the guide dog’s tag in the corner, I rushed over to grab it, but she kicked it away in advance. “It’s unlucky to keep the dead dog’s stuff. I’m doing this for your own good.”

Matthew grabbed my hair. “Look, you’re like a crazy woman. Is it a big deal for just a dog?”

Of course, it was a big deal. The dog had been with us since my mother became blind. It had been more than ten years. He was another relative of mine.

Seeing that I didn’t say anything, he sneered and said, “Anastasia is much more sensible than you. Your dog was made into dog meat buns by her and fed to Bailey. She knows how to save money. She doesn’t have to bury your body. Look, her hands are red. It’s an honor for Bailey to eat it.”

I felt like I was struck by lightning. How could he be so shameless that he didn’t even leave the dog’s body for me. I didn’t know where the strength came from, I broke free from his restraints.

I picked up the ashtray on the table and threw it at him. The corner of his forehead was bleeding he looked at me in disbelief.

In the past, I would feel so distressed when his hand was broken I would run out in the middle of the night to buy medicine for him to bandage.

Now, I hurt him with my own hands. Perhaps my resistance made him sober up a little.

He stroked my hair and said unhappily, “Okay, I’ll apologize to your dog and buy another one.”

I didn’t see any regret in his attitude, only perfunctory. I shook off his hand and walked into my mother’s room to take away all her things.

Now I only had clothes to miss. Mom, I regret falling in love with him. It’s your life and the dog’s life.

When I came to the room, I found that my mother’s things were gone. How could this happen? They were clearly packed.

I came out to question them, only to see Anastasia pick up my mother’s ashes and look at me with ill intentions. “Wanda, you didn’t want to attract Matthew’s attention and pretend to care for the ashes? You are too cold-blooded. How can a daughter curse her mother every day? I think these ashes are good for planting flowers as for this box, it would be great to use it as a dog bowl.”

I ran out quickly, trying to snatch the urn from Anastasia’s hand. During the shove, she fell on the sofa and said to him in tears, “Matthew, it hurts so much, you see, she made me fall.”

Matthew grabbed the box with one hand and looked at me with gritted teeth. “I think you are extremely vicious. Even if it’s just a box of ashes, you want to hurt Anastasia. You are like a rag picker, bringing everything home.”

I wanted to grab it, but he pushed me down and hit the flower bed. My head was covered with blood my nose was full of the smell of blood.

I hugged his legs with blurred vision. “Please, this is my mother, give it back to me.”

He struggled with his legs, but he didn’t let go I held him tightly. He kicked me fiercely I bit his leg in desperation. He kicked me over with all his strength in pain.

Anastasia leaned over with a distressed look on his side. “I can’t bear to bite Matthew. Is it necessary to do this for a gray box? If it were me, I would let Matthew touch anything. You don’t have someone you like outside, do you?”

I was so angry that I stood up and wanted to hit her pitiful face. Before I touched her, he pushed me down.

Matthew squatted down and looked at me. “You are so careless. Anastasia is right. I have given you a status, are you treating me like this?”

It turned out that in his eyes, giving me a status was already a great gift from heaven.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, I roared at him, “What about you? I told you that my mother is dead, but you don’t believe it. Don’t you understand human words?”

He looked at me with a smile. “How about this, I remember that there are two dog buns left, you eat it. I will believe that this is your mother let you take her away.”
