Love Together, Be With You Never

"Alicia Cornell, don't you ever pretend to be kind in front of me! You've disgusted me!" I stared at Alicia in superiority and said frigidly. Alicia collapsed onto the ground and looked at me with teary eyes, as if I had pushed her hard just now. Yet the fact was I had not even touched her. "Sis, you---" Her tears flowed down and she cried while covering her face.

Marlon held her up and protected her from his back. He then glared at me in disgust. "Rachael, I can't believe that not only you're shameless, you've actually debased your own sister like that!" One knife stabbed into my heart followed by the other and the pain was excruciating. Yet I lifted my head and smiled at him. "Marlon Redford, you're a bastard. You're an unwitty blind person!"

"Rachael, you truly disgust me!" He carried Alicia, turned around and left. The disgusted look he shot me the moment he turned had pierced my heart, leaving holes on it. Alicia put her arms around Marlon's neck and her face which was right over Marlon's shoulder no longer had a single tear. She was curving her lips and smiling at me with delight and complacence. I smiled too. I smiled hard while leaning against the icy wall, until they got into the car and the car sped away in the dark. I closed my eyes gently. Mommy, I feel painful, and tired!

I did not find a hotel to rest but standing with my back against the wall for the whole night silently. I did not want to find a hotel because my economic status forbade me to do so. Since graduating, what was left for me was only the one thousand yuan I saved from doing part-time jobs back then. Therefore I had to spend every penny carefully.

My mobile phone rang all of a sudden. It was Billie. I quickly picked up the call. Billie would not call me for nothing, and now that she had called me, it must have concerned little David. "What's wrong? Billie.” "Miss, little David is having a high fever, and he's in a coma. But mistress forbids me to go out, and it's obvious she doesn't want me to get a doctor for little David. Please hurry back and take him secretly to the hospital!" She lowered her voice and sounded really anxious. "I'll be right back!" After hanging up the call, I no longer had any other mood and immediately hurried back to the Cornell's house.

Little David had passed out from the fever. I did not want to let Shania knew that I had returned and delayed the time for me to take little David to the doctor, therefore I sneaked into the house, carried little David and wanted to sneak back out. "Why are you coming back, you bitch!" As I was going to leave with little David who was almost unconscious, I encountered Shania by accident. I wanted to seek for a doctor as fast as possible; therefore I ignored her and wanted to leave. Yet Shania blocked my way and showed that she did not want me to get treatment for little David at all. She even wanted to grab little David away from me. "Bitch, let me tell you, I would definitely not let you take this little bastard to the doctor. It's best that he dies from illness!"

"Get off!" I pushed her and she fell onto the ground. Alicia who saw that quickly held her up and questioned me in rage, "Rachael! How dare you push my mom!" She extended her hands and wanted to push me too, even wanted to fight with me. Alicia was too alike to her mother, and it could say that she had surpassed her mother. She was way more unreasonable than a shrew and when she acted, she looked way purer than a water lily. She had completely exposed her shrew side when Marlon was not present at the moment.

"I said get off!" Little David was in my arms like a fragile thing. His fever did not go down, his face flushed and his lips were pale. Yet the two people in front of me were even crueler than any predator that they wanted to kill such a young child. I was burning with rage and I had the urge to tear those two into pieces. Yet since I was still carrying little David and I was afraid that I would drop him, I did not dare to make big movements.

Alicia scratched and beat me. I was nearly always at a disadvantageous position dodging her attack, and my body was full of scratches. Suddenly, Alicia fell down before me and I did not have the time to react. I thought she must have tripped over something that she accidentally fell down. "Alice! Are you alright?" Marlon held her up and asked with care. Alicia shook her head with teary eyes and tugged his sleeve in fear. She half hid behind him and choked. "I, I think sis is just still being angry due to what happened last night, please don't blame her!"

I finally realized what happened at the moment. Alicia saw Marlon coming over, and that was why she suddenly fell down. But I had to say she really had good acting skills. The show was indeed amazing when Shania further varnished the truth and embellished the whole story at the side. I had the urge to laugh when I witnessed all those, but the next moment I knew, Marlon rubbed Alicia's hair and walked towards me, landing a hard slap on my face. My face was burning from the pain and his strength was so great that my face contorted from the impact.

My heartbeat had stopped for a moment. I slowly lifted my head and looked at Marlon. He was looking at me too, coldly with disgust. "Rachael, Alicia is your sister, how could you be that vicious?" I stared at him and smiled at length. I was vicious? My body was full of scratches left by Alicia. The scratches were not visible inside my sleeves, but my arms which were exposed outside were all red. Yet the man before me, the man whom I had loved deeply for four years had accused me for being vicious, and claimed that his fiancé was the one with the heart of gold.

"Marlon Redford, you've really disappointed me!" I stared at him and said that. My heart was bleeding at that time. A puncture was left on it and blood was gushing out. I held little David tight in my arms and without giving Marlon another glance left the spot. My arms were burning and my legs hurt from the kicks received from Alicia when she was wearing high-heels shoes. Yet carrying little David, I forced my back straight and walked out of the Cornell's house.

Marlon's hand froze in the air. His black eyes were still deep and obscure. Yet there seemed to be an indiscernible change in his usual expressionless face. "Marlon, Alicia's knees are scraped!" Shania said. Marlon only then turned around. Alicia was covering her knees and staring at him with teary eyes.

The summer sunlight shone on me, but I was feeling so cold that even my heart was shivering. I felt so cold that I could only hug little David tighter. "David, I won't let anything happen to you! I won't!" My eyes went sore, my soul was screaming. I was on the edge of having a mental breakdown and I did not want that to happen. My heart ached but I did not want to cry at all. None of what happened to me deserved my tears. Why should I cry? Not to mention little David still needed my care. I could not cry. Yet my face was wet.

"What kind of parent are you? The kid's already having a high fever and you only bring him here now? You're gonna regret if something goes wrong to the kid's brain afterwards!" After checking little David, the doctor scolded me right on my face. I did not utter a word while carrying little David. I was not a good sister, and it was me being useless that made little David suffered as I did. "And you're still crying. How could you take care of a child like this?" The doctor became impatient and other patients who were waiting at the surrounding all looked at me with surprise. Some of them consoled me. “Don't worry, it's only a fever. He'll recover after some drip-feeding and medication. You don't have to cry."

"Yeah, it's not a serious matter!"

I shook my head profusely and forcibly wiped my tears away. "I'm not crying." I was not crying. There was nothing to cry for. My only thought at the moment was to take good care of little David and made him healthy again. "Hurry up and pay the bill!" The doctor handed me the bill and I quickly went to the counter.

"It's three hundred and sixty yuan in total."

"Three hundred and sixty?" I was startled. I used to be reluctant to go to the hospital whenever I was sick. Having not gone to the hospital for a long time, I did not expect the fee to be that expensive. "Hurry up!" The nurse urged with impatience. "Oh, okay!" I touched the only one thousand yuan I had left in my pocket and gritted my teeth, wanting to take it out and hand it to the nurse. Yet suddenly, a stack of cash was placed in front of me. As I lifted my head feeling baffled, I saw Marlon showing up beside me not knowing when.000
