Chapter 28 - Supporters
Muchen walked into his dark house, blinking, dropping his coat and belongings along the way. Blank white walls faced him. There was nothing in here that was remarkable or significant to him. Everything was arranged by Shao.
He just lived here like a guest, not changing anything around him.
Muchen pulled off his shirt and tossed it on the sofa. His hand subconsciously fell on his stomach. "It doesn’t hurt now... but... but it’s there. A huge lump."
He trudged to his bed and plopped down. A soft pink bunny plushie was right by his face, looking down at him.
"The doctor said I’m sick..." He pulled the plushie close and hugged it tightly. "Why can’t I get a break?"
In the comfort of his open space, he finally broke down. Biting his lower lip, he silently cried his heart out.
Ever since he was little, he had been living on the edge. Surviving day to day in that scheming household, eating rotten food, being pushed around, being poisoned... He had been through a lot. He had fought and struggled through so much, but he didn’t expect a small tumor to pull him out.
"Life is so unfair..." He closed his eyes tightly.
The cold, fluffy plushie did not give him the comfort he needed.
