Chapter 367
Chapter 192 Side Story (3)
But the heavy pressure of life left her with no time to think too much. When she had just turned 18 and became an adult, the dean directly kicked her out without giving her any chance to stay.
Valerie also silently accepted, holding her own package, and embarked on the baptism of society.
After all, it is society, not an orphanage, that the living environment can be compared to.
She thought that leaving the orphanage would finally free her from the suffering, but what she didn’t expect was that it was another hell.
Hopes of Mr. Long Legs were gradually worn away by life.
At that time, she had already been struggling for life, erasing her sharp edges.
She had already been corrupted by this society. When someone approached her to talk, she would be the first to be cautious in her mind, guarding against any harm they might bring to her.
She became no longer kind.
The heavy pressure of life gradually silenced Valerie’s eyes. At this time, she lived in a small iron shed. When it rained, the room would leak. She skillfully took out several buckets and placed them in the areas that often leaked.
She looked at the gloomy sky outside, with pouring rain, and suddenly recalled in her mind Mr. Long Legs, who had always helped her during her time at the orphanage.
That night, she seemed to have felt the long-lost warmth.
She cautiously felt, hoping it wasn’t a dream, so when she woke up in the morning, she saw that the place where it used to leak no longer had water dripping, but it was still raining outside.
“Woo…”
Tears welled up in Valerie’s eyes as she lay on the bed, burying her face in the blanket, silently crying.
After crying, she wiped away her tears and continued to work.
The dark cloud in my heart also dissipated a lot.
In the following days, she would live well and not be so negative anymore..
Even after knowing that she had been diagnosed with a terminal illness, she did not feel too much sadness. She could only purse her lips and accept this fact.
It’s okay, she was fine.
Because she knew that Mr. Long Legs was by her side.
In the final days, she finally fulfilled her wish to travel far and wide, going wherever she pleased.
Although time was limited and she didn’t manage to visit all of them, she still successfully arrived at the place she had originally chosen.
She made all the preparations, put the paper in the bag, and then, enduring the intense pain in her body, lay down.
The sunlight today was really good, and the white clouds looked unusually beautiful. When the wind blew, Valerie felt at case.
“I can’t say I’ve treated myself badly either.”
After softly uttering these words, a tremendous drowsiness caused Valerie’s eyelids to start fighting.
It is said that when people leave, there will be a carousel.
But in Valerie’s carousel, the happiest moment was when she was taken care of by Mr. Long Legs.
“Silly child… silly child…”
Whose cry was it that seemed to come from an old man’s voice in my ears?
Why are you crying so sadly? Valerie’s eyes gradually closed, but she still looked toward the source of the sound.
Vaguely, an old man was kneeling beside me, almost transparent. He was crying in pain.
When his hand rested on Valerie’s hands, that familiar feeling surged straight into Valerie’s heart.
She looked at the old man with a face she couldn’t see clearly in surprise, trying her best to remember with her last strength.
Her eye sockets suddenly burned, and at the moment she closed her eyes, a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.
She left with a smile.
At least, when she left, there were still people by her side.
Some people would still cry for themselves.
Thank you, Mr. Long Legs.
If fate allows, how I wish I could personally come to you and say, “Thank you.”
