Goodbye, Twilight Chapter 14
It was said that the butterfly perished in the summer, and the whale drowned in the sea.Harry had shown signs of life in the summer. But in the same season, he faded into silence.I held the small urn and could not stop crying.Harry had raised me. But I had been the reason he was gone.Yvonne was my best friend. She was also my psychologist.I trapped myself in the past. I was lost in fantasies where Harry was still alive.I needed to wake up from my fantasies one day. I needed to carry on with my life for both of us.Harry was full of life, so I traveled around the world. Everywhere I went, I left behind his favorite flower—the sunflower.After a few years, Yvonne had a child and invited me over to visit them.Her child was already three years old. I prepared a gift for her. “My goddaughter is very beautiful.”The little girl thanked me shyly. Then, she pointed behind me and said, “Godmom, the man beside you is really handsome!”I froze. By the time I came back to my se

I could not stop myself from shouting, “Harry, help me!”“What? Are you still thinking about that paralyzed man? What can he do for you? Can he do what I’m trying to do to you?”Bang!A deafening sound interrupted my train of thought.I saw a figure pushing David away from me.I felt warm liquid dripping on my face. I opened my eyes. It was Harry.He covered me with his shirt and punched David in the face.David had no time to react before he was knocked down by another punch.His loud wails gradually turned into sobs.I saw Harry pick up a beer bottle and smash it over his head. Then, everything fell silent again.“Aurora, I’m sorry.” Harry lifted me in his arms. He buried his face in the crook of my neck. “I was too late…”His voice was hoarse as he cried. He looked like a child who had done something wrong. He said repeatedly, “I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”I wanted to hold him. But my limbs had no strength.I thought none of this would have happened if I hadn’t chosen to go t

I ran all the way to the hospital. When I reached there, I saw his hands shaking.The gentle breeze filtering in through the window dried up my tears of happiness.I believed Harry’s life was like the resurrection of Christ. He died and rose again. I put on a long white dress that he had given me. I looked forward to him regaining consciousness.After two months, David called me.He encountered problems with his company. Someone sued him. He needed my help with his lawsuit for free.He was addicted to gambling and lost all the migrant workers’ wages. They pooled money and hired a young lawyer to file a lawsuit against him.I turned down his offer, but I agreed to give him some money. The money would be sufficient to clear his debts and cover his living expenses.Ever since, David wanted money every few days. I realized this would be a bottomless pit. I sent him money for the last time and said in warning, “I’ve repaid what I owed you. From now on, I won’t send any.”He fell s

“I already sent somebody to attend to Mr. William. But if I need your help in the future, you can’t say no.”I agreed.Harry fell into a coma for more than half a month. The doctor said he might end up in a coma.I shuttled from university to part-time jobs and the hospital daily.God must have taken pity on me. I graduated with excellent grades.A highly respected professor at the university recognized my talent. Not only did he offer me a spot to be his postgraduate student, but he also agreed to temporarily help me pay Harry’s medical fees.I knew that I did not have full control over my life yet. I needed to rely on others at least for the moment.If I wanted to be the master of my life, I needed to study and work very hard.I stopped taking part-time jobs. I devoted myself wholeheartedly to studying.In my graduation year, I handled more than a hundred legal cases.At first, I followed my mentor. But I was able to handle the cases on my own later on.In the second year
Goodbye, Twilight Chapter 10
“Harry isn’t around anymore. You need to wake up. How much longer are you going to stay trapped in this?”I crouched on the floor and covered my head with my hands. “Impossible! This is impossible. You’re lying!”I felt as if there was a lump inside my throat, and tears streamed down my face.I hit myself in the head in despair.I remembered everything.I did not have a great university life because of David.People often looked at me with a strange and judgmental gaze. I often received disgusting and vulgar messages from unknown numbers.Yvonne was my only friend.During my junior year, Harry came to the university to look for me once.He approached a guy and asked, “Do you know where Aurora from the law school is?”The guy gave him a knowing smile. “Buddy, you’re here to find her too? Well, you’ll have to get in line. She’s quite popular!”“What do you mean?”The guy had chuckled lewdly. “She’s sleeping around with men to earn some income. You’re not from our university,
Goodbye, Twilight Chapter 9
When David found out I got into the best university in town, he arrived there to look for me.“Aurora, now that you’ve gotten into a top university, I deserve some credit, don’t I?”David was no longer the gentleman I used to remember. All he was left with was a pot belly.He leered at me. I felt uncomfortable.I ignored him. He said, “You were very skinny and frail when you were young. I didn’t expect to see you grow into such a beautiful girl.”I was aware that it had not been easy to raise me. But Harry did a great job taking care of me.David stood in my way and refused to let me leave. “I encountered some problems with my company. Since I raised you, could you, at least, come and have a meal with me? The people at the table are all VIPs. It’d bring you benefits too.”“Sorry. I don’t have time.”David rolled his eyes. “How could a university student possibly not have time? People attend university to hang out with people from all walks of life. I’m treating you to a meal.
