Book 19: Chapter 20
The young girl had a beautiful dream at night. She enjoyed a celebration she had never experienced before in that place she’d never been to before. She fantasised a scene she’d never seen. She imagined her and her sisters having fun on the streets of the foreign country. The young girl considered adequate compensation for her efforts. As for everything else, she was never interested. After all, her dad could give her everything else she wanted. Since he wasn’t around, the four sisters had to play together.
Perhaps the youngster would feel somewhat hurt over the fact that Liu Yue never actually cared about him. He didn’t appear in the dream she had. She only laughed with her sisters. She slowly sat up. She looked at her white pillow and cheerfully stretched out her back. It was another bright day. The sunlight shone in through the thin curtains. She climbed out of bed and got dressed. She eagerly pulled the door open. The clear and cold sea breeze sobered her fuzzy mind.
“Good morning, Nona.”
“Good morning, Liu Yue,” replied Nona, rubbing her slightly red eyes. “To be honest, I miss Mom and Dad now… This is our first time going so far away. Do you think Dad misses us…? I miss Mom and Dad now. I really miss them…”
“It’s all right, it’s all right. It’s not as though we won’t be going back. Once we succeed, we’ll be able to proudly return to them. We came here this time to prove we’re not children. We came here to prove that we can always be by Dad’s side!”
Frankly, Nona doubted Liu Yue’s claim. Based on what Nona knew, she was unable to figure out why they needed to go to the foreign nation if they wanted to be by her dad’s side. She liked her dad and wanted to always be with him, true; however, she couldn’t understand why she needed to prove herself to be with him. The fact of the matter was that Nona didn’t care about the whole “proving themselves” notion. She followed her sisters merely because her sisters wanted to go.
Seeing the way Nona looked, Liu Yue understood why Vera never had her guard up against her. All of her nutrition and resources for development went to her breasts, so Nona was still oblivious of her feelings for her dad. Actually, she might’ve been the only one among the sisters who didn’t love her dad.
“Good morning.”
“Good morning, Daisy. You appear a lot better today.”
