Love Together, Be With You Never

Chapter 2 My Family Is Not Humane

The moment I opened the door, my feet stopped moving and my tears still couldn’t stop trickling down

my cheeks. I was really unwilling to sever our connection just like that. I was really unwilling as I

pleaded one last time, “Mr. Redford, I really rate highly of your skills, so if you want to get together

again, you can call me anytime!”

“I’m bored of you!” Marlon’s voice was icy cold without any trace of wanting to reconnect anymore.

My fingers wired themselves around the knob of the door, and droplets of tears were forming dark blots

on the floor. I really didn’t want to go. I wanted to see him and touch his face again and again despite

the very unlikely scenario of getting the cold treatment again and again. It doesn’t matter. I could take

all of that. However, Marlon didn’t seem like he planned to give me a second chance.

“Then, nothing I can say now. Goodbye, Mr. Redford!” I said these words with all my might before

shutting the door and severed the connection between us. I was really afraid that I would rush back to

him and beg him to let me stay with him while hugging him.

I knew that Marlon would never go back on his words no matter what. My incessant clinging to him

would only amplify his disgust towards me.

The last thing I ever wanted was for him to hate me!

I pulled my luggage and started to walk out of his compound, but rain suddenly fell heavily with the

water soaking every nook and cranny of my body. I didn’t care. I just let the rain water merged with my

tears as everything trickled down my body. I could barely walk with the immense pain from my lower

body that was constantly pegging me, but at the same time I thought that it was actually nice to have

this constant stream of pain flowing through me. It made me unable to differentiate the source of this

endless pain.

With a loud bang, I suddenly slipped and my body crashed to the ground. Pain was all I felt, and to

cope with that pain I cried my hearts out in the ever expanding puddle of water.

I didn’t know how long I had been crying, but by the time no tears came anymore, the rain also

stopped. I looked for a hotel to settle myself, but the moment I lied down in bed, my eyes could never

shut. Sleep never came.

At that moment, my phone suddenly rang, and I frantically grabbed it without even checking the caller’s

identity. I answered the call with the hopes that it was Marlon regretting his decision, but I only heard

silence on the other end of the phone. I glanced at the screen once and saw that it was not any number

that I knew. I hesitated slightly before calling into the phone, “Davidson, is that you?”

There was still no sound coming from the other end, “Davidson, I know this is you, right?” I spoke in the

gentlest way possible.

“You little monster, I can’t believe you slipped in here without my knowledge.” Suddenly, a woman’s

screeching voice broke the silence, and there was some noise that indicated a scuffle or conflict was

happening.

“Shania, don’t touch Davidson! You don’t have the permission to touch him!” I screamed, but I could

hear the muffled noise of a scuffle coming from the background. I screamed angrily, “If you do anything

to him, I will kill you!”

“Great, you can come and kill me if you can, nothing can change my mind now. I need to teach this

mute barbarian a lesson. What can you do to change my mind?” Shania replied smugly. Then, she

hung up the phone, and she didn’t pick up anymore no matter how many times I tried to call her.

With my heart racing, I scurried back home. Based on my understanding of Shania’s personality, she

would definitely torture Davidson.

The moment I entered the Cornell family house, I wanted to slap myself so bad.

In the midst of a heavy downpour, a fragile and thin figure was standing in the rain. He was soaked

thoroughly.

“Davidson!” I ran towards him and hugged him tightly.

He was my real brother and the only relative I had in this world and he was only five years old.

However, he was soaked all over and his body felt abnormally cold. There wasn’t even a trace of

warmth at all coming from his skin. His face was colourless and deathly pale like a sheet of paper and

his fragile body was full of wounds and bruises.

“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, Davidson. I am late, I’m really sorry!” I hugged Davidson with all my strength

and let my tears merge with the rain water as streams of water trickled down my cheeks.

Davidson stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears on my face. He revealed a weak smile on

his pale face, and the sight of that deeply hurt me as if my heart was getting slashed.

I knew that Davidson was trying to make me feel better despite feeling painful all over. There was no

way he could endure such gratifying pain. A surge of anger was burning in my chest. Shania was too

evil. How could she have the heart to abuse a five-year-old kid?

I swept Davidson off his feet and stormed into the house angrily.

In the majestic living room, Shania was wearing a one-piece dress which was made from expensive

silk. Her feet were enveloped in a pair of diamond-engraved high-heels, and she was sitting gracefully

by the dining table while enjoying her breakfast. At the sight of us intruding into the dining room, she

glanced at us disdainfully, “Why you two soaked animals have the nerve to come into the house? The

ceramic tiles on the floor are going to be ruined by you!”

I settled Davidson safely on the sofa and picked up a vase to hurl at Shania. Shania jumped up with a

shriek as she was trying to dodge the incoming vase. She looked very funny while she was doing that.

My head was totally overcome with fury and I couldn’t stop myself from picking up random stuffs and

hurling at Shania. I wanted to exact revenge on her two-fold the damage she had inflicted on Davidson.

This woman was the one person I hated the most in my entire life. She had taken away everything that

used to belong to my mother, and in the end she even pushed my mother to the brink of death.

I would never forget the moment my mother smashed into smithereens after jumping off the second

floor. If it were not because of this woman, my mother would still be alive and Davidson would never

become mute in the first place. My family would not be as broken as it was now.

After doing all of that, this woman even wanted to abuse Davidson.

I was completely consumed with hatred as I picked up a chair nearby, wanting to smash it on Shania.

“Help! Help me!” Shania was curled up in a corner and she was protecting her head with both of her

hands. Her face was written with fear and upon seeing her expression, I couldn’t help but feeling

strangely elated and victorious.

Bang!

Before I could smash Shania with the chair, a seething pain assaulted my head, and I collapsed to the

floor involuntarily. I felt my field of vision going dark for a moment and the chair had somehow

disappeared from my hand. All I was feeling at the moment was immense pain coming from all parts of

my body that assaulted my sense in waves.

My head was blank for some time, and by the time I forced my eyes open, I saw a man slamming the

chair I was holding a moment ago onto my body repeatedly with obvious fury. His face was so

contorted as if he was trying to crush me to death.

As I watched him repeating that bashing, a smile formed on my face. That furious man was none other

than my biological father, Marvin.

“Marvin, I am so scared just now, luckily you’re here in time. Otherwise, I think I will be no more!”

Shania complained tearfully with her frame shaking visibly, “I was going to feed Davidson breakfast in

the morning, but suddenly Rachael returned home and without any reason, she started to…”

“My wife, you don’t have to worry. I will never let this ungrateful daughter hurt you in any way!” Marvin

consoled Shania in a gentle tone, and the sight of him doing that felt so revolting for me. Shania was

looking at me smugly with apparent pride in her eyes. It was then that I finally realized that she had

been planning to stage this all along. She must have known that Marvin was coming here soon, so she

had deliberately allowed herself to look like the victim by not dodging my attacks.

I couldn’t help but smile. This was Shania’s tricks which she was proficient at. Even after so many

years, Marvin never failed to abide by her tricks to the point that his original wife was pushed to the

brink of death because of it. Now, his daughter was going to get bashed until she was on the verge of

death because of the same tricks.

“You unfilial daughter, you still can smile! Let’s see if I will beat you to death!” Marvin raised the chair

and was about to smash it on me once again, but Davidson suddenly rushed over frantically to stop

him. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“No!” I tried to stop Davidson from coming over but as I just let out a shout, Marvin was already lashing

out and kicking Davidson away. Davidson’s feeble body fell to the ground and his head smashed onto

the wall hard.

“Davidson!” I ran over worriedly to check Davidson out, but before I could do that, Marvin suddenly

grabbed my hair and kicked me hard.

“Marvin, you bastard!” My eyes were reddened as the burning inferno of anger inside me pushed me to

get into a fight with Marvin. However, I was no match for Marvin’s strength as I was pinned on the floor

by him and felt the countless fists coming down on my body.

My body was like a piece of sponge that couldn’t fight back in any way. I could only let the punches

connecting to my body and my heart was a desolate wasteland. The one doing this to me was none

other than my biological father!

“Marvin, you better kill me now, or else I will make sure that I will kill all of you!” I screamed my lungs

out.

“You little bastard, I will make sure to beat you to death today!” Marvin cursed.

After listened to his words, I revealed a smile on my face. Death was an escape for me at this point. I

had been going nowhere in this dead-end situation for too long, and I was so tired. I felt so exhausted!

However, the final sense of pain that I was expecting never came. The moment I opened my eyes, I

immediately froze.

It was Marlon!
