Dean’s face darkened sinisterly!
"Mary, previously, a shocking scandal about my family was released. You must have heard of it, right?" Dean intimidated her. "Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"
Mary had just finished university. She had not witnessed the dangerous part of society before. How could she bear Dean's cruel tactics?
It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid.
However, she was not afraid of what Dean would do to her. She was afraid of death. She was, after all, different from Angela.
Angela had lived for a long time. She had seen everything she had wanted to see. However, Mary’s life was just beginning, yet it had to end already.
"Uncle Dean, before my mom died, she talked to me for a while." Mary was silent for a while before saying, "She said she had already achieved what she wanted to achieve. She had no regrets in this life. The importance of life is not in its length, but in how well you live it. She felt that if she were to continue living, nothing could compare to the greatness of the day she had received the Marshall's Award."
"Did she really say that?" Dean was a little taken aback. He felt that Angela and he were on the same boat, yet reality just gave him a huge slap on the face. No matter what happened, he would not kill himself as Angela had.
"Uncle Dean. I do not need to lie to you.
This is what she said." Mary fished around in her pocket and retrieved a small white medicine bottle. "This is what she gave me.
Dean immediately looked at it. There was no writing on the bottle. He did not know what drug was in it.
"What is this?"
"I asked this from her," Mary slowly said and opened the bottle. She took out a small white pill from it. "Uncle Dean, do you know why my mom adopted me?"
Dean wanted to say, "I don't care."
