Goodbye for Ever, Dad

Holly was staring curiously at the dead body surrounded by the crowd. “Poor thing,” she said with sorrow. Everyone around her praised how kind she was after hearing that. I was the only person who knew how vicious and shameless she truly was underneath her obedient facade. If it was not for her, I would not have ended up in a dead-end and had no other choice but to kill myself. However, it was too late now. My father had abandoned me for her. Both of them had indirectly caused my death. After the director called the cops, he said worriedly, “Our filming progress will be affected by this. But it’s truly a sad situation. Even though I can’t see the deceased girl’s face clearly, I can tell that she was young. What a shame.”Alba took a few steps back. His eyes were cold and callous. He said indifferently, “The children nowadays are too fragile. They kill themselves over any little challenge. Serves them right!” Did I deserve that? I laughed as tears rolled down my face. I cou

Actually, I could have lived longer, but I needed a lot of money. I suddenly started to have nosebleeds. When I could not stop the bleeding, I went for a check-up at the hospital. The doctor told me that I was too late, and I was already seriously sick.It was then that I realized the reason why I was having poor health for the past two years. I kept having various pains all over my body. Due to unpleasant childhood memories, I did not visit a doctor for the longest time. Hence, it was too late when I finally did it. When I was younger, Alba always liked Holly more than me, so I kept trying to copy what Holly did. I was very happy whenever I got even a small fraction of his attention. Holly noticed my changes. In her eyes, I was a lousy copycat and a laughing stock. However, she pretended to not know that. Instead, she taught me a horrible lesson. When I saw Alba taking care of Holly when she was sick, I pretended to be sick as well. That day, it was the first time Alb

Alba heard Holly’s scream and immediately walked away from the cameras. When he saw the deep cut on Holly’s leg, his expression worsened. He asked coldly, “What’s going on?”I stood there with my chin held high. I did not take a step back. However, his eyes never looked at me. He did not even notice my presence. I stood forward. “It was me, but she deserved it.” Holly glared at me with teary eyes. She yelled, “I got her some water but she threw the glass at me!“I know she doesn’t like me, but I really treat her like my own younger sister. She’s making me really upset.” Holly started crying while I stayed quiet. Regardless of what I said, Alba would not believe me. He was prejudiced against me and believed that I was a bad person who only lied to others. I looked down as I did not want to see how close they were. I said to Alba, “I’m sick. The doctor said that it’s very serious. I need money for my treatment.” He glanced at me and smiled coldly. He looked indifferen

After the discovery of my dead body, the filming had to be stopped. Alba rejected Holly’s suggestion to go for a meal. He went back to the home that he had not visited for a long time. He opened the door to complete darkness. The person that would stubbornly wait for him at the door was no longer there. “Paige, are you home?” He switched on the light and called out my name in the empty space. In Alba’s eyes, I went to him whenever he showed me any bit of kindness. I was like that since I craved his love. However, no one would answer his calls anymore. Alba was determined and kept calling out my name. But no one answered him. The house was quiet as a grave. I stood before him as I watched him call out my name in an empty room. I felt tears welling up. I thought that he did not care about me. I thought he wished that I was dead. Why was he then acting like he cared? He sat down on the couch and rubbed his temples. He took out his phone and opened the messaging app. I

“Is she really that outstanding?” Alba lowered his gaze so no one could see the emotions in his eyes. “Of course. In my many years of teaching, I’ve come across students like her only a few times. She’s a great kid.”I teared up a little bit. It was not for Alba, but for the teacher whose name I did not even know. It turned out that there were many people who knew me and were proud of me. I was not the failure that I thought I was. Alba’s hands started to tremble. He finally lost it when he saw my teacher. She told him that I had applied for a week-long leave and had not shown up in school for a few days. “If she’s not at school or at home, where is she?” Alba exploded. He looked very anxious. At that moment, the phone in his pocket started ringing. He frantically retrieved his phone and looked at the phone screen. He was disappointed when he saw that it was an unknown number. “It’s not Paige?”Did he really wish that it was me?He answered the call, and a man with a
