Now, I was a blind woman whom everyone could trample.

But he forgot that I was blind for him.

I used to be a princess held in the palm of my parents' hands.

Six years ago, I just came back from abroad.

I felt unfamiliar and curious about everything around me, so my parents indulged me and held a welcome party.

But I found the rules of the party boring, so I slipped out during the tea break and took a walk by the river alone.

That's when I met Sebastian. He was climbing a tree to save a kitten.

He was cold and reclusive, but even when a kitten scratched his hand, he still gently soothed it.

I fell in love with Sebastian at first sight.

Later, I learned that the Davis family had gone bankrupt and Sebastian was living in very poor conditions.

So, I smiled and reached out my hand. "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you from now on!"

I passionately pursued Sebastian, thinking he would be moved by my efforts and fall in love with me.

He always accepted my gifts but deliberately kept his distance from me.

At that time, I didn't know he fell in love with someone else.

So, when the Davis family was being hunted by the underworld, I ignored my family's opposition and spent all my money to save him.

I even swallowed poison and lost my sight.

I was forced to put down my beloved scalpel, and everything in my world turned gray.

My parents, out of love for me and wanting my efforts to be rewarded, forced him to marry me.

Beyond my expectation, he still only loved Nancy after six years.

the Wilson family helped him so much, but in the end, we became his enemy.

I watched helplessly as Sebastian brought down my parents one by one. Even when I was kneeling and begging him to spare my family, he just looked at me with amusement and poured red wine over my head.

"You've ruined Nancy's life. You deserve this," he said.

I immediately fell to the ground and had a fever for three days and three nights.

When I woke up, I received the news of my parents' passing.

In my utter grief, I fell gravely ill.

It was then that I realized this relationship had been nothing but my own wishful thinking.

When I got home from the hospital, Dora jumped into my arms.

Her big eyes kept looking past me, filled with infinite hope.

"Mom, did you bring dad home?" she asked.

I sobbed and shook my head silently.

Dora, who was originally crying, suddenly stopped her tears and stroked my face with her little hands. "Mom, I don't want dad anymore. I only wants to be with you."

My daughter hugged me, warming me with her tiny body.

At that moment, I could no longer hold back my tears.

I guessed I was not a good mother.

After that night of being tormented by Sebastian, I couldn't stop vomiting. It was only after using a pregnancy test that I realized I was pregnant.

I knew that, born into such a broken family, she was destined not to be happy.

But the doctor told me that the poison I had ingested before had already severely damaged my body. If I chose to have an abortion this time, I might never be able to have children again.

It was my momentary selfishness that led to Dora's birth.

She was born without father's love.

By the time she was three years old, Sebastian still refused to give her a name, refused to acknowledge her as his child, and even publicly claimed that she was a bastard.

She didn't understand these things, always blinking her innocent eyes, asking me where her father was.

My heart was in agony, and I had no choice but to tell one lie after another.

As she grew older, Dora gradually came to understand the reason why she never saw her father.

At night, after falling asleep, she often cried so much that her pillow was soaked.

I feel both heartbroken and guilty.

So, divorce might be the best option.

After Dora fell asleep, I began to pack my bags in the dark.

But suddenly, there was a noise in the hallway. I could smell a strong odor of alcohol.

Immediately after, I was grabbed by a large hand and thrown onto the bed with great force.

I screamed in pain, while the person on top of me unleashed his desires without restraint.

He tied my hands with a tie, then tore off my clothes, leaving me completely exposed to the air.

Fear spread in my heart, and I struggled desperately.

But there was a warm sensation on my neck, along with his almost painful pleading.

"Nancy, please don't go. Don't leave me, okay?"

I was so familiar with that voice; it was Sebastian.

He mistook me for someone else.

I was stunned. Then, he leaned over and kissed me.

In an instant, the pungent smell of alcohol and smoke enveloped me, pulling me back into my memories.

"She's just a slut anyway..."

"When you're tired of playing with her..."

"You deserve this..."

The words Sebastian once used to insult me echoed in my ears, each one a blow to my heart, filled with shame, betrayal, and the pain of my loved ones being wronged.

My eyes were in intense pain, as if light was piercing through them.

Tasting the metallic rust in my mouth, I don't know where I found the strength, but I slapped him across the face.

"If you truly loved Nancy, why did you accept my pursuit in the first place? You could have refused me outright! Now that you've taken everything from the Wilson family, you're tormenting me here. Is this your idea of grace, Sebastian?"

"The most disgusting one is you, the two-faced one is you, and you are the root of all this evil!" I shouted.

The chaos in Sebastian's eyes dissipated, and he became hesitant to speak.

Seeing my intense struggle, he released me.

He turned his head and saw the suitcase, immediately furrowing his brow again.

"You're leaving? Where to? I can't satisfy you, so you have to go out and look for another man?" he said.

He started to mock me as usual, but when he met my indifferent eyes, Sebastian suddenly fell silent.

I let out a scoff, no longer afraid of him, and poured out many things that had been on my mind.

"You always think that Nancy had the accident because she was too heartbroken, but a little investigation would reveal that she got into the accident on her way to a hotel with her boyfriend. You're just being self-indulgent in your feelings."

"Shut your fucking mouth!" Sebastian, in a fit of rage, slapped me with all his strength.

I suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the sheets red.

Looking at this man in front of me, who only knows how to escape and is hypocritical and selfish, I suddenly laughed.

I laughed at myself for being deceived by his appearance, harming so many people and ruining my own beautiful life.

Sebastian hastily stood up and turned to leave.

He suddenly turned back and threw a can of candies on the ground.

"It's for her." After saying that, he turned and left.

He wasn't even willing to mention Dora's name, nor acknowledge her existence.

At this moment, Dora was woken up. Although she didn't know what had happened, she kicked the can of candies away and said fiercely, "I don't want this gift, I don't want Dad! I hate him, I hate everyone who hurt Mom!"

I quickly wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and carried her back to the room.

A five-year-old child wanted to protect me.

Looking at the suitcase, I felt as if my heart had turned to ashes.

This world was too cruel to us.

I wonder, if Dora and I were to completely disappear, would Sebastian feel even a hint of sorrow?

Sebastian rarely came home to begin with.

After that conflict, he directly never came back home.

My living expenses were all given to me by his butler, and he never worried that I would run away.

Because he knows that a blind person without money can't survive.

I carried Dora out the door and took her to say her final goodbyes to the teachers and classmates at the kindergarten.

Seeing her conflicted expression, I sighed.

Children all love their fathers, and she must be in agony inside.

If possible, I hope Sebastian could see Dora one last time and leave her with a final good impression.

After thinking for a moment, I pulled out my phone and called Sebastian.

"Dora misses you. Do you have time to see her today?" I said.

To my surprise, Sebastian was unusually patient and not at all annoyed.

"I'm in the hospital today and can spare some time later in the evening..." he said.

Suddenly, on the other end of the call, a woman with a hoarse voice said, "Sebastian, if you're busy, go back first. I can handle the check-up by myself."

It was Nancy! She was awake!

Instantly, Sebastian's voice became flustered.

"How could I possibly let you go for the check-up alone when your matters are of utmost importance to me? "There's nothing going on at home. She's just an insignificant person, no need to worry. Nancy, lie down now! I'll feed you."

As he continued speaking, Sebastian's voice grew increasingly distant, as if he had forgotten to hang up the phone.

This gentle and considerate voice was just like his when he was twenty, patiently talking to me from up in the tree.

He said to me at the time, "The kitten needs to be rescued quickly."

When we first met, I was captivated by his gentleness.

And now, such tenderness, he immediately gave to someone else, never to be bestowed upon me again.

Nancy recovered.

The person he truly loves has returned, and there's no need for me to exist by his side anymore.

I hung up the phone with a bitter smile, wiping away my tears.

Finally, I smashed the phone fiercely, held Dora in my arms, got into the car, and resolutely headed to the edge of the cliff.

I kissed her forehead and apologized softly.

I gave birth to her, but I never let her have a single good day.

But it was okay now. As long as we jumped, everything would be over.

After getting out of the car, I took off my shoes.

Dora in my arms was given a sleeping pill and is sleeping soundly.

I walked step by step to the edge of the cliff, looked into the endless abyss, and closed my eyes.

Sebastian, I give you your freedom.

Today, I would say goodbye to my screwed life.

One month later, on every employee's computer at the Davis Group, a video appeared.

In the video, I was wearing a long dress, with marks on my neck left by Sebastian. Resolutely, I held Dora and jumped off the cliff.

My suicide quickly dominated the trending, and all the employees began to discuss it.

"That woman seems to really be Mrs. Davis; I've seen her once, and she looks exactly the same as the person in the video."

"Oh my God, what could she have gone through to jump off a cliff with her own daughter?"

"I heard that Mr. Davis despised her for being blind and even called the little girl a bastard, which caused her to break down mentally..."

"How tragic, she didn't hesitate at all when she jumped. How heartbroken she must have been."

...

"And at this moment, Sebastian had just returned from the hospital."

He rubbed his temples and saw the video on the computer. His first reaction was to question what tricks I was playing.​

He started calling me, only to find that all the calls went unanswered, a flicker of surprise crossing his mind.

But he quickly reassured himself.

But when he opened his phone, he realized that the woman who used to constantly message him hadn't sent him anything for a month.

In the past, she would always eagerly send him messages about any delicious food she came across or any progress her child made, never tiring of it, even though he never replied.

But now, he felt very uneasy.

But when Sebastian sent several messages to me, there was still no response.

"No, this is all Katrina's scheme!" he said to himself.

As Sebastian spoke, he suddenly stood up, anxiously running his hand through his hair.

He ordered his butler, Kevin Woods, to get back to him and find my location.

He called his assistant, Jack Miller, and ordered, "Go and find out who Katrina got to forge the video, trying to tarnish the reputation of my family. Tell her I won't let her off!"

After a pause, he continued, "I remember Dora's kindergarten is starting soon. I promised to have dinner with them tonight, so please arrange it."

He didn't realize that his voice was trembling.

Sebastian paced back and forth, then rushed downstairs to the store like a madman, stuffing all the Barbie dolls and candies into his shopping cart.

When he was checking out, he saw a message from Kevin.

Kevin: [But the lights in the villa haven't been turned on for a month, sir.]

And Sebastian cut off the household expenses a month ago, but surprisingly, I haven't asked him for money for a month.

Kevin had just rushed back, only to find the villa empty.

Everything related to Dora and me had been packed away, leaving the house as good as new.

Since Sebastian had ordered that no nanny was to be hired and that I must do all the work by myself, with no one allowed to help me, the butler never paid attention to whether I returned or not.

Sebastian staggered and nearly fell.

Jack called him at the same time and reported with a panicked and anxious voice "Mr. Davis, after verification by the technical staff, the video is real; Mrs. Davis indeed took her own life.

"The police have already surrounded the scene. An eyewitness reported that a month ago, a young woman, holding a girl, showed no will to survive and resolutely jumped off the cliff with the child.

"The police have now filed a case and dispatched personnel to search for their bodies..."

The phone in Sebastian's hand fell to the ground.
