I ignored her roar and walked up the stairs step by step. Every step I took was so painful that it felt like it would take my life.

After going into the house and locking the door, I had no strength left and slid down against the door, then fell to the ground with my body tilted.

My head was covered in sweat, and my body was shaking uncontrollably. I could only hug myself with all my strength.

I heard my mother knocking on the door. Just the sound of her voice showed how angry she was. She must be mad because I ignored her like this.

Over the years, no matter what I did, she was never satisfied with me.

In the past, I believed that no matter how outstanding others were, I was still her daughter. The reason why she liked Kurt should be because of me.

Kurt then knocked on the door.
