"June, I'm sorry. I failed to protect you." Lina burst into tears with her hands covering her face.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Don't cry, okay? I'll be scared. You promised me that no matter what happened, we will face it together. And I'm not scared at all." June cried when she saw her mother crying. She was panicked and scared. Her mother's expression seemed to tell her that this bad thing was finally going to happen.
Lina looked at her wretched daughter. In order to earn more, June took all kinds of advertisements when she hadn't graduated. She entered the entertainment industry finally, but she was blocked everywhere. Although she faced so many difficulties, she was still strong, which made her heartache. Lina wiped her daughter's tears with trembling hands.
"June, it was my mistake and you shouldn't be punished. You should remember that you can't go out with a married man no matter what. It's very dangerous. You saw the woman sitting here just now. She disgusts me. I secretly gave birth to you. We are hiding for so many years and I thought she wouldn't come for us again. But I was too naïve. She won't let us off." Lina couldn't help but feel ashamed of the mistakes she had made when she was young.
June was already mentally prepared. She was much calmer when she heard these words again. It didn't like the first time she was stunned when she heard it. She looked at her mother and sighed.
"I'm sorry, June. You need to bear the mistake I made. I deserve to die. I am ashamed to live." Lina looked at her beautiful daughter sadly. She was as gorgeous as a flower. She could have a good life, but her life was ruined by her mistake.
"Isn't it just getting married? Mom, I'm going to get married one day. I'm not afraid." June lowered her head and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Don't you hate me? I gave birth to you selfishly and let you live such a hard life with me." Lina felt sorry to her daughter. She was sick now. She wanted to suicide several times, but when she thought that if she died, her daughter was left alone in the world, she didn’t do such a foolish thing.
"Mom, stop. If you didn't give birth to me, I won't be able to live. I've figured it out. If we can have a peaceful life, I'm willing to do anything." June raised her hand and wiped away her tears, "I am willing to marry."
"You have to think clearly. I heard that he is a gloomy, violent old man. You will be tortured by him." Linda cried and shook her head. She could not let her daughter fall into a living hell. She would rather die here. "Mom, age doesn't matter. How can I know whether he's good if I don't marry him? No matter how bad his temper is, I will do my duty as a wife." June had thrown the handle after the blade. Having a career that she liked was the greatest fortune in her life. However, her luck seemed to be running out. She finally did better in her work. Another trouble came for her. She was going to marry an old man that she had never even met. Humans were fortune's fool.
"June, I'm sorry. I owe you too much." Lina said sadly.
"Don't be stupid. You know I don't blame you. I've never blamed you. You're my mother, my most important person. Is there anything more difficult than separating with you? Don't even think about leaving me. If you commit suicide, I won't have the courage to live. You must be fine. We need to be fine, okay?" June hugged her mother tightly with tears. She was not afraid anymore. She was not afraid of anything.
"Alright, June. I will stay with you and be strong. All sufferings have their reward." Lina cried with joy. Her greatest happiness was having this strong daughter.
"Mom, you can call her. Just tell her that I'm willing to marry. They can arrange a wedding or something. I'll be there." June did not want her mother to be embarrassed. She would rather embarrass herself.
"There might not be a wedding. June, she only left an address, which is that man’s address. You can go there directly." Lina was sadder. She trembled and took a piece of paper, "June, if you're scared, don't go. It's not a big deal. I will go all out with her."
"What are you talking about? Life is so precious. Don't risk it. Since you have an address and there is not a wedding, it's good news for me. I want to continue to be a star. If I can hide my marriage, I'll be very happy." June glanced at the address and put the paper into her pocket. "Mom, did she say when shall I go there?"
"You can go at any time." Lina looked at her daughter worriedly.
"Mom, don't think too much about it. Where are Wade and Cam? Didn't them guard you for 24 hours a day? Where are they?" June frowned. She had hired two nurses for her mother.
"There were too many people just now. She was scared, so I let her go out." Lina whispered.
"Ask her back. I'm going to see that old man now. Don't worry about me. I'm not afraid." June bended and kissed her mother on the forehead, "Mom, don't leave me alone again. I will blame you if you do that."
