Chapter 269 - Sandwich

"I started work when I was seven. I had to sell flowers, deliver milk and newspaper, and everything."

"I slept on the streets because I didn't have enough money to rent a place."

"My grandfather wanted me to grow up to be merciless. That's why he did all those things."

"You wouldn't know that you are the only thing that I looked forward to every day when I delivered the milk and newspaper…"

"Every morning, I would look up to your room and see what you are doing."

"You were very young then as well, but you seemed to have poor health."

"I had seen you fainting a few times, but I couldn't do anything to help you."

"I could only wait outside the house and watch from a distance until you wake up."

"You didn't know about my existence until six years later."

"One day, when I was already sixteen, you were reading your book near the window, and I fainted outside your house due to malnutrition."

"You loved to spend your time reading, so you were very knowledgeable."

"You knew why I fainted, but you were only ten years old, and you were still too young and small to be able to send me to the hospital."

"So, you called your neighbor to send me to the hospital because your father wasn't around that day."

"Ever since that day, every morning, when I deliver the milk and newspaper to your house, there would be a sandwich and a bottle of juice for me."

"You probably wouldn't know that just that alone lighted up my world, and you became my only hope and light in life."

"Sandwiches and juice became my favorite food, and it is now a habit of mine to have them every morning."

Donovan smiled sweetly while he thought about the sandwiches and juices that Mo Xi had given him.

"At that time, I thought that if I had a better family, then I would definitely take care of you and repay you for whatever that you had done for me."

"I didn't even realize that I had already fallen for you gradually over the years…"

"After that, I was brought back by my grandfather, and he told me why he did all those things to me."

"I had a better family, but our distance only grew…"

"I had to take revenge for my parents, and I had to accomplish my grandparents' wishes."

"I went back to look for you. However, just like me, you disappeared at the same time that I was brought back to my family."

"I couldn't find you, no matter how hard I tried."

"I thought that I had completely lost you until I saw you again six years ago."

"I was excited when I saw you, and I was stunned when I saw you again because you grew to be someone beautiful and full of charms."

"Even though you changed a lot as I did, I could still recognize you at first sight…"

"You are still so kind and courageous like when you were young."

"Although I didn't expect that you would be fighting against us, I thought that it was only natural."

"When I saw that you were able to fight so well, the first thing in my mind was that you could finally protect yourself…"

"However, when I realized once again that we are on opposing sides, my heart fell again."

"Later on, you went to Country X, and you saved him."

"After that day, you disappeared, and I couldn't find you again even though you left a few traces wherever you went…"

"Then suddenly, you appeared in Country X, and you met him once again."

"You have no idea how I felt when I heard that the two of you got married…"

"What's worse was when I heard that you were our next target."

"I was frightened."

"I didn't dare to tell anyone of them that I had seen you before because I couldn't bear the thought of you getting hurt."

"It was until the day of the explosion that my grandfather realized that I love you because I wanted to go save you."

"My grandfather didn't know that I love you for a very long time. He just thought that amidst our plans, I fell in love with you by accident."

"My determination to stop the plans angered my grandfather, and he got his people to punish me before locking me up…"

"You have no idea how I felt when I was locked up…"

"I felt so hopeless…"

"When grandfather came back and said that the plan was a success, I felt as though I lost my world…"

"That day, when I saw Princess Luana, I thought she was you…"

"But that's not possible…"

"Because you are no longer around…"

"You know… I really wish that Princess Luana is you… Because that way, I can continue to love you, and we could be together…"

"Moreover, Princess Luana is someone that my grandfather wants to pull over to our side. So, if she is you, then you would always be safe by my side…"

"However, that's not possible because my grandfather already said that the plan was a success…"

"I wish we could turn back time, and I could remain as the boy who would watch you from afar…"

"If I had a choice, or a chance to choose my life again, I would choose to stay by your side and never leave you."

"Even if it means for me to give up everything…"

"My grandfather told me that you could be the children of Sapphire and Luke, and they were the ones that ruined my parents' plans…"

"My parents died because of that as well…"

"I should hate you as much as my grandfather, but I can't bring myself to…"

"If you really are Sapphire and Luke's children, then I guess we are even…"

"My grandfather and uncle had already killed them…"

"That's why… That's why you became an orphan…"
