On that day, she stood there in a white dress, her eyes slightly red, staring directly at Trevis.

"Trevis, why did you give up?" she asked. "Do you know how disappointed Mr. Peterson was when he heard the news? You clearly did so well in your exams!"

He sat with his head down against the wall, not uttering a word.

The girl persisted, "What about me? I worked so hard to get into Harvard just to be with you at the same university. Why are you giving up?"

She took out a check from her bag and approached Trevis, placing it in his hand.

"I know about Mrs. Lewis… Here's some money for your college expenses. You don't have to repay me, but..."

Trevis finally reacted. He pushed her away and handed the check back.

"Lucy, thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept this," he said.

Lucy covered her face and cried. "You're always like this."

I felt a wave of unease.

I stepped out of the room and hugged Trevis.

"Trevis, you mentioned you were going to college, right?" I looked deep into his eyes, hoping for honest reply.

It seemed like he realized that he couldn't keep it from me any longer. He gently touched my head and confessed, "Massachusetts is thousands of miles away. How could I leave you behind?"

My eyes welled up with tears.

Lucy, who had noticed my presence, quickly grasped the situation, her face registering shock.

"You... sister? Wait, where did this sister come from?" she exclaimed.

"You—this is all because of her?" Trevis's gaze shifted towards Lucy, his tone growing colder.

"Lucy, please leave. This doesn't concern you," he said.

Lucy left the room, but as she walked away, she shot me a jealous and resentful look.

I was feeling somewhat afraid, and Trevis noticed it, so he stood protectively in front of me.

After she left, Trevis brought me to the desk and began explaining the question to me. His voice was gentle and soothing, flowing naturally like a calm stream. However, as I listened, tears welled up in my eyes, and I couldn't help but cry.

Trevis, he was exceptionally intelligent, capable of tackling even the most challenging questions. If not for me, he should have been enjoying a top-tier education at a prestigious institution, continuing to be that prodigious talent.

With teary eyes, I confessed, "Trevis, I feel like I'm a burden to you."

In that moment, I wished I had never been rescued from those traffickers.

Trevis wiped away my tears and replied sincerely,

"Kathryn, that's not true.

“You're the family I have chosen for myself.

“You're all I have now."

    The following day, Trevis and I went to the police station to provide our statements. Given that Trevis had acted in self-defense, there were no significant issues there.As for my younger brother and dad, they were facing charges of threats, intimidation, and burglary, which could result in prison sentences. My mom tearfully pleaded with me to sign a forgiveness letter, but I didn't even spare her a glance.Over the weekend, Trevis and I visited the mall and bought a stack of books,"Spoiling My Beloved Wife", "The Intimate Moments with My Boss", " Mr. Billionaire, Don’t Run Away" ...and many more.Trevis looked a bit awkward at the checkout counter, with the cashier, a young lady, repeatedly stealing glances at him.

    I rented a temporary house in Anglos City. I sent him messages for several consecutive days. He would reply, but the replies were cold. I went to the hot pot restaurant to find him, but he always made excuses about being busy. After multiple visits, I became recognized by most of the regular customers here.One day, I overheard them discussing my relationship with Trevis. Some mocked me for being blind, claiming that I shouldn’t waste my time on a guy like Trevis. They used many insulting words, which angered me. I ordered a glass of juice, discreetly sneezed into it, and then had the waiter deliver it to their table.Those people didn't suspect a thing and were quite thankful to me. Watching them sip the juice in their foolish manner, I couldn't help but laugh. However, when I turned around, Trevis was glaring at me, his face cold. He grabbed my arm and pulled me outside, scolding me."Kathryn, what you did was wrong!"It had been a while since I'd heard Trevis sco

    He instructed the waiter to arrange a private room.As soon as the door to the private room closed, I hurriedly embraced him. "Trevis," I called out.His body tensed slightly, and he gently pushed me away. "Kathryn, you need to calm down first," he advised.With teary eyes, I inquired, "Don't you miss me at all?"He remained silent.I pressed on, "Have you read the book? I wrote it for you."He nodded with stiffness, his voice hoarse. "It's very well-written."I felt elated and attempted to hug him again, but he remarked, "So, someone as talented as you, Kathryn, shouldn't be associated with someone like me."I grew furious. "Someone like you? Tell me, what do you mean by that?"He chuckled self-deprecatingly, starting to list out the labels he pinned on himself: "Almost became a murderer, never went to college..."I couldn't bear to hear it anymore, standing there with tears welling up. "Trevis, that's not true, how can you think that way..." If it weren't for me, Trevis w

    I had a complete falling out with my family. When I left, my younger brother kicked over a chair in anger, and my dad smashed the TV. They yelled, "If you want to go, just go, and never come back to this house!"My mom cried, saying, "Kathryn, we're doing this for your own good. He’s just a murderer…”But if it weren't for him, I might have died in my early teens. Without looking back, I left home and found a random motel to stay in.As the start of the school year approached, I packed my bags and headed to Harvard alone. In college, I was always incredibly busy. Busy with my studies, busy making money. I always thought about saving up enough money as soon as possible so that one day, when I found Trevis, he wouldn't have to struggle for a living anymore.One day during my junior year of college, I took a leave of absence and returned to Anglos City.It was supposed to be the day Trevis got released from prison. I had no idea where to find him, so I stood outside the priso

    I arrived at the Pasfield residence, a place I never thought I'd step foot in during my lifetime. Transferring between prisons required approval from higher authorities. How could Trevis, an ordinary civilian, have managed it? There had to be something Lucy had said or done, pulling strings with the police to make it happen for him.But when I entered the room and saw Lucy, I could hardly believe it. She was clutching high school math homework, struggling to solve it. Simultaneously, she was sending messages to Trevis."Trevis, I don't understand this problem. Can you teach me?""Why are you ignoring me? If you don't want to teach me, just say it. You think I want you to teach me?"Even though she sent the messages, all she received in response were red exclamation marks. Trevis had long since blocked her.......I observed from the sidelines, growing increasingly alarmed by her erratic behavior. The servant let out a sigh and explained that ever since the day she had hit

    I quickly reached my senior year of high school. During this year, I dedicated myself to my studies, immersing myself in textbooks. Some of my classmates were privy to certain secrets and would occasionally gossip, but I paid them no mind.I kept Trevis' photo tucked inside the inner pocket of my wallet, and whenever I felt utterly drained from the demands of senior year, I would steal a fleeting glance at it.Even amidst the busyness of senior year, I managed to send Trevis many letters. Almost every letter received a response from him. He was more concerned about my relationship with my family. To spare him from worrying, I would vaguely reply that everything was fine.But in reality, once they found out I could earn money through writing, they seized my bank card. Moreover, throughout my entire senior year, I didn't receive a single word of comfort. A year later, I secured a place at Harvard with the highest grades in the entire school.When I received my acceptance letter, I co
