Chapter 1

As I knelt on the floor for about five minutes, I felt pain prickling in my knees. My face turned pale from the pain. My parents clearly saw the change in my complexion. In the past, they would have already quickly helped me up and insisted on sending me to the hospital. However, Dad still continued pressing down on my shoulder. Mom’s face still remained cold. She was looking at me with immense disappointment with her icy eyes. “We’ve only punished you for five minutes, and you’re pretending that you can’t take it anymore.“Jude, isn’t it enough that we’ve put up with your act all the time?” I felt a lump in my throat as I felt humiliated and upset. I wanted to tell Mom that I was really in pain, but I decided against it. The only thing I could do was try to stop my body from shaking from the pain. Just when I almost passed out, Mom’s phone rang. She answered the call, and she immediately looked excited and happy. “Both kids have been found?“Great, we’ll co

When we reached home, it was already very late at night. After a long day, my leg was in so much pain that I could barely stand. My parents were paying their full attention to Dax and Daphne. When they finally remembered me, I had already been sitting on the couch for two hours. Mom coughed lightly, but her expression softened after that. However, before she could speak, Dax teared up again. He flung the item away from his hand and roared at me angrily. “Jude, how dare you guilt-trip me just to force me to give you my bedroom?” After he said that, he prepared to run out of the house again. Mom started to panic as she quickly stopped him. She turned around to slap me. It had been in the spur of the moment, so regret had immediately set in when she raised her hand. So, she did not hit me very hard. It was not painful at all. However, my heart was shattered by the blow. I could hear my voice trembling violently. “Mom, I didn’t mean to snatch Dax’s bedroom f

When I woke up the next morning, the house was already empty. I felt extremely dizzy. I suddenly could not feel my leg, which had been in excruciating pain since the previous day.When the strange smell in the air got thicker, I suddenly realized that something was wrong. When I turned to the kitchen, I saw that it was billowing in smoke. A familiar fear crept up on me. I fell from the couch and crawled toward the door with all my strength. I wanted to open the door when I realized someone had locked it from the outside. After I called the emergency services, I kept shaking the door knob and called my parents. However, whenever I called them, they would immediately hang up. When I passed out from the thick smoke, I could only hear the robotic voice asking me to leave a voice mail. When I woke up in the hospital, I saw Mom’s anxious expression first. I immediately was overwhelmed with sadness. I could not help but tear up and said with my hoarse voice, “Mom.”

The impact left me with numbing pain on my tailbone.I did not know what was happening. “Daphne, what money?” Daphne looked anxious, as her voice kept shaking. “I’ve spent most of my savings from my work these few years to pay for your medical bill. But the fifty thousand dollars that I saved up was meant for my further studies overseas.“It’s all gone now!“I can give you whatever you want, but please give me back my fifty thousand dollars.”By the very end, Daphne sounded like she was begging. Upon seeing that, Mom and Dax immediately went to comfort Daphne. Dad forcefully dragged me to the side with a darkened expression. It seemed like he was suppressing his anger, but he still sounded calm. “Jude, the last time your mother said to stop your physiotherapy. No matter how angry you are over it, you can’t take Daphne’s money.”Sweat broke out on my forehead from anxiety. “Dad, I didn’t. I really didn’t take Daphne’s money.” I could hear Daphne’s sneer. “I didn

Chapter 5

After the third time, my parents finally realized that my number was truly no longer in service. A hint of panic flashed in Mom’s eyes. She immediately asked, “John, did you call the wrong number?“How could Jude’s number be out of service?”Dad carefully looked at the phone number. His face slowly turned pale. “It’s the right phone number. It’s Jude’s number.” Everyone was quiet for a moment. Then, Mom started throwing stuff onto the floor. She stood up abruptly and looked angry. “He’s doing this on purpose!” Mom said through clenched teeth. “He’s scaring us on purpose. “Why is he so stubborn? It’s just a misunderstanding, and he’s throwing a tantrum.“Sure, suit himself. If he wants to leave, I hope he never returns.” Even though she was cursing like that, when she mentioned the fact that I may not return, a hint of worry still flashed in her eyes. Dad’s expression sank. He grabbed his car key and prepared to head out. “I’m going to look for him. “He ca

Chapter 6

The moment she answered the call, Xander’s displeased voice travelled through the phone. “What’s wrong with you? I’ve explicitly said that you can’t stop Jude’s physiotherapy. Are you really trying to ruin his life?”My parents looked a little embarrassed at being humiliated in front of all their relatives. Mom said in annoyance, “Did Jude head over and talk nonsense again?“We’ve decided to not send him for physiotherapy anymore. “After all these years, we’ve spent too much money and effort on him. His leg still hasn’t recovered. We no longer want to waste any resources. What’s wrong with that?” Xander immediately sounded agitated. “With his current condition, if we stop his physiotherapy, there is a high chance that he’ll need to amputate his leg in the future. It will even threaten his life!“A week ago, I personally told Jude about these consequences. Did he not tell you at all?” After Xander said that, Mom’s mind went blank. Dad’s face immediately turned pale. H

Dax continued cursing in annoyance. “I hate Jude. Mom and Dad just need the both of us. Why did they give birth to him?“I was the one who set the fire back then. Initially, I just wanted to teach Jude a lesson, but I didn’t expect that after his leg burnt, our parents only paid him more attention. “I hate it. Why can’t he just disappear? Why did he have to snatch our parents’ attention away?!” After Dax said that, he heard the shuffling footsteps. Before he could come to his senses, Mom had already slapped him hard on his face. Dax stumbled from the impact. He fell onto the floor. He held his face and looked at Mom in disbelief. Subconsciously, he quickly hid the letters behind him. “Mom.”Dax’s eyes were flickering nervously. “Why are you here?”Dad snatched the letter. With just one glance, his face immediately turned pale. Dax immediately defended himself. “Sure, I didn’t tell you when I found the letters. But Jude’s determined to go to the special educatio

Chapter 8

Life at the special education college was a lot easier than I had anticipated. People paid attention to my pain. No one felt that I was seeking attention. The principal, Talia Smith, could not help but gasp when she first saw my swollen knee on the day we first met. She said pitifully, “It’s so serious. Didn’t you tell your family about it?”I shook my head and smiled indifferently. “It’s fine, I don’t want to be their burden anymore.”Talia did not say anything else. With teary eyes, she got me the best doctor in the city. She said that as long as I would like, I could stay there forever. Talia found me through the blog that I wrote online. She liked how positive I was in such a dire situation. She said my words had encouraged a lot of children in the school who were desperate too. The special education college was partially sponsored by charity. It had just started, so they needed a teacher to guide the children into the right direction. I settled down the

Chapter 9

As she gave Dax those shoes, she immediately came after me. She had spoken with an upset voice as she glared at me with teary eyes. It was as if I was the sinner. “Because of you, Dax can no longer compete in track! We bought him a pair of sports shoes because he deserves it!“Jude, have a good look, even though you’ve saved Dax and Daphne, they’ve sacrificed a lot for you too. “They don’t owe their lives to you, got it?”I was not even expecting them to do anything in return. But no one had asked me for my opinion. I did not want money. I just did not want Daphne to sacrifice her dream because of me. Back then, I only had one thought in my mind when I rushed into the fire. If Dax and Daphne died, my parents, who doted on them the most, would be very upset. I just did not want to see them upset. I could never understand how the savior could end up as the sinner, not for ten years, and not on that day either.However, time had changed. I no longer wanted to find o
