Tears that I had held back for so long finally poured out.
Ignoring the blood on my hands, I grabbed whatever was within reach and hurled it at Eden.
Why? Why couldn't she even spare a small kitten?
I never wanted to steal her life. Why blame me for everything?
What did I do wrong?
"Enough! It's just an animal. What more do you want? Get out of our house!"
Hearing these words from the mother who once loved me, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.
Not only was the kitten an animal, but I was too, wasn't I?
Today, it wasn't just the kitten that was abandoned, but me as well.
I tilted my head back, trying to stop the tears, and wrapped Lucky in my coat, picking up my luggage and walking out.
"I'm done owing you," I said.
"You're a family. I won't disturb you anymore."
Once soft and warm, Lucky was now slowly stiffening in my arms.
Finally, I had become utterly alone.
As I stepped out of the Green family's gate, I saw Jone leaning against his car, seemingly waiting for someone.
He noticed the bundle in my arms, blood seeping through, and his expression froze.
"Eileen, what are you doing?"
I looked at him expressionlessly. "Isn't this what you all wanted? I've finally gotten what I deserve."
