Elizabeth had been drowsily sleeping at home for almost two days. She had not eaten anything and had only drank a few mouthfuls of water, if not for her mother bringing a large bag of food and snacks to see her, she would probably have starved herself to death at home.
"What do you look like now? Hiding in a corner and living a life in a daze, are you still my daughter? " As soon as her mother entered, she saw that the room was dark, so she quickly ran over and forcefully pulled the curtains. The strong light shone in, causing Elizabeth to quickly reach out to cover her eyes, unable to get used to the light.
"Mom, why are you here? Don't you have to take care of brother?" Elizabeth asked weakly.
"Why am I here? Surely, I'm here to see you! " As her mother spoke, she opened some of the food she had packed. "Come over and eat something. Don't be so hungry. Life won't collapse. If you don't eat something, you'll starve to death." "Mom, did aunt call you? She's gone again." Elizabeth crawled up from the bed and asked weakly.
"No, it's as if she disappeared from the world. Who knows where she went? Right, why is she hiding somewhere? Offended someone? Do you know anything about it?" Her mother asked curiously, because she didn't know anything about her sister either.
Of course, Elizabeth couldn't tell the truth to her mother. Otherwise, she would be so worried that she wouldn't be able to eat and sleep anymore.
Her mother came over and pulled her out of the living room. She placed her on the table and handed her a fork. "Eat quickly. If you it cold, you won't be able to eat anymore."
"Thank you, Mom!" Elizabeth said in a low voice as she tightly clenched her fork and silently ate her meal.
Her mother ran over to help her tidy up the room, mumbling as she did so, "This sister of mine really doesn't make me feel at ease, whether in the past or at present. I'm worried about what she'll do when she gets old."
"Mom, would you forgive aunt if she made a big mistake?" Elizabeth was going crazy for the last two days because of the pressure from her heart. Making a choice between family and love was an extremely cruel thing to begin with. Therefore, up until now, Elizabeth still could not make the right choice.
Her mother's movements became slower, as if she was thinking. Then, she taunted, "As long as she doesn't go to kill people, I can forgive her for any other mistakes."
Elizabeth's hand that was holding onto the fork started to tremble, her beautiful eyes looked at her mother in surprise, would her mother really make such a choice?
They were sisters.
"Mom, what if, I mean, if Aunt really killed someone? If you knew where she was, would you have called the police to get her? " Elizabeth urgently needed her mother to point out a path for her, so she won't be confuse any further.
Her mother frowned, then suddenly ran over, and stared at her: "Eliza, do you know what happened to your aunt? Tell me quickly, I'm really worried about her."
"I, I don't know. I was just making an analogy." Elizabeth's eyes flashed, and said with incomparable guilt.
"You fool, this kind of thing can't be easily joked about. If she really killed someone, then that would be the end of her life!" The white mother scolded with a smile.
After Elizabeth heard her mother's words, her face was filled with despair. Then, she asked, "Mom, you still haven't told me the answer, will you call the police?"
"Call the police? Of course not, she's my sister, and even if she killed someone, I believe that she would have some kind of forgivable reasons. You know your aunt, other than being greedy for money, she has no other ailments, so if she killed someone by mistake or was used by someone else, it would be a different matter. In a word, I can't entrap my sister. Her mother's words were full of sincerity, but it was the answer that everyone thought of at the first moment.
She always felt that since she knew her family, she believed she wouldn't kill people for no reason. Even if she did kill someone, it wouldn't be intentional. There must be a reason for her to be forgiven.
