What I Lost and Found Chapter 10
"It's already too late, isn't it?"Yes. It was too late.I took Mom back to my rental apartment.Morris insisted that we stay in the villa. I refused.The debts weren't paid off yet, and I didn't have money to buy a place. This small apartment only had one bed and no high-end medical equipment.But when Mom walked in, she looked around, then sat down on the bed with a satisfied smile."This is great. I get to sleep with you again."After turning off the lights, I curled up in her arms, just like I had ten years ago.She suddenly lowered her voice, all mysterious."You know what? I don't actually have dementia. I did it on purpose. I couldn't stand how Morris treated you. I wanted to torment him and Courtney."I'd been exhausted lately. Half asleep, I nodded."I know.""How could you know?""We lived together for so many years. I know exactly what you're thinking at all times."Before I drifted off, Mom patted my back."Go to sleep, my love. Tomorrow morning, I'll make yo

He did the same things every day. Studying, working, taking care of Judy, and being with me.People really do change."I'm sorry. We're in the cooling-off period before the divorce, and Courtney's been emotionally unstable lately…"Before he finished, he flicked away the cigarette butt and crushed it under his foot."Where are you staying now? It's late. I'll drive you home."I shook my head."No need. I don't want to step into a police station ever again."He fell silent.After a long time, as the wind picked up, he spoke softly, "My mom wants to see you."Judy wasn't living with the three of them.After the marriage, Courtney and Judy had serious conflicts. For the sake of his family, Morris bought Judy a villa. He also hired several caretakers and nurses, telling outsiders it was a private medical team arranged for his mother's health.When we walked in, the yard was overgrown with weeds. Inside, Judy's loud curses rang out."Get away from me! Don't touch me! You're al

As Courtney finished speaking, she raised her hand to slap me. At the instant it came down, someone grabbed her wrist.Morris was there. His gaze was icy, just like that spring ten years ago."Courtney, I told you before. If you came after Olivia again, I wouldn't let it slide."Courtney's face drained of color inch by inch.But that wasn't enough for me.I narrowed my eyes, grabbed her collar, and swung my hand hard across her face."I'm giving those words right back to you. If I'd known you'd grow up coveting my boyfriend, I never would've protected you as a kid. I should've let you starve at the foster home and ended it there."Once again, I was the one taken away by the police, all because of that slap. Because I was a teacher, and Courtney was a student's parent.More importantly, she was a parent who had donated to the school, someone no one dared offend.A teacher who had tried to persuade me earlier let out a sigh."At the end of the day, we teachers are in the servic

"Where's the homeroom teacher of Class Three? Come out here! Why did you make my son stand as punishment? He already said sorry. Why won't you let it go?"At this hour, most of the students had already left, but the teachers were still around.My hand didn't stop. I finished writing the last word, then stood up and responded."Mrs. Freeman, I'm the homeroom teacher of Class Three."The woman stormed over angrily, but the moment she saw me, her face went deathly pale.Ten years had passed. She had filled out a lot.When we were kids at the foster home, food was rationed. If you wanted to be full, you had to fight for it.She was small and skinny and usually couldn't compete with the older kids.So I would grab her hand and stuff whatever food I got straight into her mouth until she said she couldn't eat anymore. Only then would I eat myself.Even so, when she went abroad, she was still thin and frail, standing next to Morris like a pitiful little quail.Now, she was dressed

Maggie immediately put on a smile, greeted him, and went back to her desk.I gave a calm smile."Mr. Freeman, is there something going on with Zach?"He didn't step inside. He just took a slim, narrow box out of his pocket. Holding it against the light, he handed it to me."Olivia, this is for you."Maggie froze for a second, confused as she looked from me to him. Then, her eyes landed on the small box.I didn't take it.The words "Scar Treatment" were printed clearly on it. Something bought by a successful businessman like him was bound to be expensive.But I didn't need it anymore."Thank you, but we have rules. We're not allowed to accept gifts from parents. Sorry."I said it politely, but he walked over anyway and forced it into my hand.Our fingers brushed. I pulled back quickly, and the cream fell to the floor.He picked it up and tried to press it into my hand again."This one works really well. Even if it can't erase it completely, it can still…"I stepped aside a

Morris jerked his head up. His lips were pressed tight, his eyes dark as a black hole.I knew him well. He had grown up poor, and when it came to money, he was deeply insecure.During our college years, every time he ran into relatives or neighbors who had lent him money, he shrank himself down to nothing.And for all these years, he and Judy had lived mostly on my support."Olivia, I spent your money. I'm sorry. How do you want me to make it up to you? Is it enough if I pay you with my life?"After saying that, he pulled a folding fruit knife out of his backpack.Without hesitation, he stabbed it into his own lower abdomen.Blood burst out in a terrifying rush. Courtney screamed and cried out for an ambulance.People around us panicked. Everything fell into chaos.I stood there in a daze, my vision flooded with red.The man I had loved through my entire youth held his wound with one hand, while gently touching another woman's cheek with the other, softly comforting her."Do
