"Could it be that I really have the potential to be a bad girl like you said? I mean, I find some guys really attractive at first sight, and now I'm having such scary dreams?" She seemed to think of something funny and laughed, "I'm not gonna have weird dreams again, am I?"
No wonder she stared at him on her first day with him, finding him familiar but couldn't remember who he was.
He almost missed her back then, but luckily he decided to keep her around in the end.
"Abby, tell me, am I really annoying?"
"Who said you're annoying?"
"If I'm not annoying, then why does everyone leave me?" She frowned, as if plunged into painful memories, "My mom, my dad, that person, and Jeremy."
Hearing her mention his name, Marcus felt a mix of emotions.
He stroked her forehead, "Don't worry, Jeremy will never leave Cornelia, never."
She didn't listen to him, just kept spilling her deepest secrets, "I've been studying and working so hard, I didn't do anything wrong, so why does everyone blame me?"
"You did nothing wrong. It's those who hurt you are wrong."
"Really?"
"Yes."
Hearing the affirmation, her furrowed brows relaxed, and she gradually drifted off to sleep.
Marcus sat by her bed, playing with her soft hair.
After a while, she seemed startled by something and snuggled into his arms.
"Don't be scared." He whispered soothingly, staying with her in that position until dawn.
