The Real Daughter Had A Sudden Awakening!
Chapter 3
I had tried to put away my own unnecessary jealousy and triumphalism, and just wanted to leave this family and live my own life.
But fate, like an invisible hand, always brought me back to the same doomed path due to various twists and turns.
I died again and again in that night of thunderstorm, in that stinking alley, amidst the malicious laughter and bullying of the punks.
And this time, the only variable was that I lost my legs and beauty, but gained... an upgraded system.
This might be my only chance to turn things around.
At this moment, I grabbed Rachel's hand with affection and tears in my eyes when Rachel said that familiar phrase, "If that's the case, I'm willing to leave the Klein family..."
"How could you think like this? You are the master of this family. Even if there is no blood relationship, you have already become an inseparable part of this family. In comparison, I'm just an outsider. How can I have the right to be unhappy?"
"Moreover, my adoptive father, that is, your biological father was imprisoned for fraud when we were six years old. My adoptive mother, that is, your biological mother ran away with her lover when we were eight years old. I heard she had three sons. Where else can you go if you leave the Klein family?"
"It doesn't matter to me. I've lived a hard life for so many years and have grown up well. Even if I'm in a wheelchair, I can support myself by working."
"But you were born with brocade clothes and jade food and haven't suffered half a bit. How can you live such a difficult life?"
In her open-mouthed expression, I blinked and dropped a tear. "Besides, I'm just a disabled person with paralyzed legs. How can I be a child of the Klein family? Wouldn't it be a disgrace to you?"
"I came here today just to see what my blood relatives look like. I never expected to join you or take away Rachel's love. The eighteen years of absence can't be easily erased. I'm not that naive."
"After finishing this meal, I will go back to my old house. No one will know about me and I won't cause any trouble for you."
"You can just pretend that I don't exist and let life go back to the way it was."
Rachel was naive and her eyes brightened in an instant. She looked at my sincere expression with half expectation and half scepticism. Before she could ask me, Andrew and Eason instinctively interrupted her, "No!"
I looked at the flickering lights in their eyes and lowered my gaze without a word.
I wasn't naive enough to expect that they had any feelings for me.
Unlike the guilt and tenderness in Jenna's eyes, Andrew was only concerned about his reputation.
He couldn't tolerate having a daughter with a disabled leg who was not outstanding, nor could he tolerate his daughter living in a place like a slum.
It would undoubtedly be a disgrace to him.
The best ending he set for me was to live a worry-free and insignificant life in the Klein family.
As for Eason... My older brother, who looked like outstanding among people, had long had inappropriate thoughts about Rachel.
And my appearance allowed his thoughts of many years to become a reality.
Even if he didn't like me, he still needed me as a tool to give his filth a legitimate cover.
Rachel, however, didn't know about all these twists and turns inside.
She only saw that her usually distant older brother seemed to have a different look at me. Her eyes turned red, but she forced a smile that revealed a sense of loss, "Taylor is just joking. Of course, we welcome you back."
Then she took out a very familiar VIP ticket from her pocket and handed it to me, "Taylor, you came back just in time. Tomorrow night I'm going to have my first dance performance as a leading lady. Make sure you attend with my beloved mum, dad and brothers."
I knew that she was asserting her sovereignty and also belittling my undignified disability.
I lowered my head to look at my ill-behaved legs and smiled at her slightly, "Of course."
