All I Could See Was Frost Chapter 12
The day I returned to school was a sunny day.Many people thought my mother would send me to the international program or even transfer me to a better school, but I did not. I went back to my usual regular program.When I walked into the classroom, there was a moment of silence.Some people looked up at me before quickly lowering their heads. I ignored them, carried my schoolbag to my seat, and sat down. The desk had been replaced with a new one. The chalk writings that called me ungrateful and jealous of my stepsister were long gone.Daisy stood at the front of the classroom, glanced at me, and said nothing. She simply tapped the desk. "Let's start the morning study."The sound of pages being flipped open echoed repeatedly.I lowered my head and opened the workbook. The sunlight outside fell on the pages. When the pen tip touched the paper, I suddenly felt a sense of stability that I had not experienced for a long time.After school, I went to the hospital as scheduled to have
All I Could See Was Frost Chapter 11
Outside the window, children were running downstairs, their shouts rising and falling. I looked at the documents on the table and suddenly remembered what my dad said to me before his passing.He said, "Jordan, don't drop out of school. You have to keep going and live for yourself."I closed my eyes and put the two documents into my schoolbag.I thought things would be over by now, but I never expected Mr. Russell to be insane enough to come to me.…That night, I was alone in the room, sorting out the last box of books. Suddenly, the door was forcefully pushed open from the outside. The door panel hit the wall, making a dull thud. When I turned around, I saw Mr. Russell rushing in.His hair was messy, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was even holding a fruit knife. Mr. Russell had gone completely out of control.He stared at me and scolded, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't refused to behave yourself, things wouldn't have turned out like this! I never thought that even having

The Stroll family was humiliated the most. Olivia had always been well protected. However, this argument was so intense that nothing could stay hidden.She finally realized that she was not my mother's biological child and that my mother had another biological son who was excluded. She also learned that my father might have died because of them.It was said that she had a major breakdown at home, crying and asking Mr. Russell if it was true. She also asked my mother if all the things she had enjoyed over the years were not really hers.Mr. Russell tried to comfort her, but my mother could no longer continue to pretend everything was fine as before. Her silence was the answer.No matter how chaotic things were outside, I stayed out of it. I just sorted out my father's belongings and prepared to move out of this rental house. I did not want anyone to find this place again.A few days later, Ms. Skelly came to me and gave me a brief overview of the situation. She said the company was

My mother picked up her phone and dialed a number in front of me.After the call got through, she got straight to the point by asking, "Why was that card I gave them empty?"It was Mr. Russell on the other end of the line.Mr. Russell paused momentarily before continuing to play dumb. His tone became heavy. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"My mother stood by the table, her voice getting quieter and quieter. "I'll ask again. Why is that card empty?"There were a few seconds of silence on the other end of the line.When he spoke again, Mr. Russell's tone had changed.He first said that he was just afraid that my dad and I would still continue pestering her after receiving the money. Then, he simply admitted that he had transferred the money out of the card. He said that we should completely disappear from her life since my dad and her were divorced. He did not want my dad to have my mother's money, continue to act pitiful, seek sympathy, and use me to keep pestering her.My mo

I did not look up because I knew very well that no matter how carefully my mother investigated now, it would not change one thing——my dad was already dead.My mother did not leave.For the next two days, she seemed to have suddenly woken up from a dream and began to frantically investigate everything that happened before my dad's death.Ms. Skelly went to the hospital to retrieve the medical records.My mother herself also contacted the school to check the records of my tuition arrears and the surveillance footage of my dad pleading with the school.The surveillance footage was blurry, but you could see that my dad was emaciated at the time. He was holding onto the table as he repeatedly told Ms. Fraser to give him a few more days. He also argued that my grades were excellent and that I could not drop out of school due to money.My mother silently stood in front of the computer.Ms. Fraser added from beside her, "He came more than once. Each time he said he would come up with ot
All I Could See Was Frost Chapter 7
The door was open, so the wind from the hallway blew in, little by little.My mother stood in the doorway, motionless for a long time. She stared at my dad's photo, as if she had forgotten to breathe.Mr. Russell was also stunned, his face turning ghastly pale. He probably never expected my dad to really be dead. Olivia was frightened by the furnishings in the unit and instinctively winced behind Mr. Russell.I ignored them. I just walked over, put down my schoolbag, and picked up the lukewarm cup of water on the altar table. I replaced it with a new one as usual.I had been doing this for three months, so it was all too familiar.My mother finally slowly walked in, asking hoarsely, "When did this happen?""Three months ago.""Why wasn't I told?"I looked up at her and retorted flatly, "Would telling you have helped? My dad called you, texted you, begged you, and waited for you, but did you ever believe him?"My mother's lips moved but did not say a word.I went to the draw
