Chapter 385 - 381 You abandoned them

((( Jasmin POV's )))

Then I started telling him....everything from the beginning. From when I ran away. To fleeing to Japan. To Rhio finding me. Until I gave birth.

To Rhio's sacrifice in exchange for us.

Until that tragedy happened.

"By God's mercy, a family fostered me for five years. I had no memory throughout until miraculously, every piece of the past came back to me."

My tears fell as I told him my story.

"Didn't Rhio look for you?"

"I don't know. All I heard was they thought I am dead." He was surprised.

"I don't know if there's still a 'home' I can come back to." Derick smiled at me.

"Definitely. They'll be happy, especially the person who loves you so much ... Rhio."

I took a deep breath.

When Derick finally got off his place, I was drove alone to the Zel Cantheliz villa.

As it used to be, the security was still strict. Not even the car was allowed to go in. So I just walked. The guards were surprised to see me.

"Miss Jasmin?"

"Good morning."

"...I-is that you?" I nodded. They opened the gate and immediately took my luggage.

"Please wait here, Miss Jasmin. Well call Sir Deo so he'll inform Master Rhio about your return." I nodded.

Until…

"What the...You're still alive?!"

It was Miss Ley. She seemed to have just gotten off her car.

I smiled at her.

"I'm alive."

"No! You're dead! You're dead!"

"Miss ... Ley." She didn't seem to like my arrival.

"Don't mess with them again! You're already dead...they've forgotten you! You have no place here anymore!"

I could hardly believe if she was indeed Miss Ley.

The Ley I knew was different. Why was she acting like that?

Tears flowed down her cheek. I don't understand. Just why?

"Miss Ley... I'm here for my family."

"Family?! Since when? To tell you...you're useless! Five years Jasmin...you're gone for five years."

"I have a reason why..."

"You abandoned them. Why are you suddenly coming back? They don't need you anymore. We're happy now... they're finally happy with me!" I fell speechless.

"Jasmin...please. Don't be a jerk. Do you know that Kevin knew me as his mother? Do you know he hates you? Please...don't show yourself to them! You're just gonna ruin everything!"

"...Miss Ley."

"Please...don't show yourself to them! You're just gonna ruin everything!"

Why did I let myself be defeated by her words?

I didn't fully comprehend everything that she said.

But all I knew was I was hurt by what I heard ... I felt tired. ...physically and emotionally.

I was tired.
