Avenger's coming back

"My baby, my baby! No, no, no!" With a scream, Lily suddenly sat bolt upright on the bed.

She opened her eyes and gasped for breath. When she gradually became alert, she found that she was not in a hospital but in a familiar room.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door, mixed with the sharp screech of a car's tires, and a woman's crying.

Lily quickly scrambled out of bed and ran to the window, where she saw a woman was being dragged in the direction of the car by two burly thugs.

Unexpectedly, a very familiar scene replayed in her mind, and without thinking, Lily ran barefoot toward the direction of the stairs.

Lily couldn't tell whether this was a dream or reality. She ran down the stairs, taking them two at a time. There was only one thought on her mind, which was to keep her mother with her!

As she ran too fast, she slipped down the last two steps and knelt down. Luckily, she grabbed the guardrail with her hand and managed to stop herself from falling.

Severe pain spread all over her body in an instant, and Lily realized that this was not a dream at all, but a reality.

This was a memory from her early childhood, the year she was in grade 3 of junior high school. The scene she had just witnessed was when her mother was forcibly removed from the Qiao family.

Without even minding the pain in her knees, she got up and rushed out. When she reached there, her mother had already been forced into the car, and the thugs were about to slam the door shut.

"Mom! Mom..." Lily shouted while running, "Let Mom go! Let my Mom go!"

However, those men didn't pay her any heed. When she approached the car, the door was suddenly closed, and the car flew like an arrow from a bow.

The car rushed forward with a crazy curve, and Lily was knocked to the ground. Looking at the direction in which the car disappeared, Lily shouted, "Stop! Stop! Mom! Mom..."

Her past life was cruel and so was this life. She could only watch her mother being taken away. No, this was not something that she wanted to live through again!

"Oh, my! Lily, why are you lying on the ground? It's so dirty. Stand up quickly!" Hearing a familiar voice, Lily was lifted from the ground.

After being set on her feet, Lily frowned slightly when she turned and saw who the woman was. It was Lucia Zhao, a woman that she would never forget for the rest of her life.

"Are you all right? Did you get hurt? Come on, wipe your tears now." Lucia Zhao wiped the tears from Lily's face and said, "From today on, I will be your mother. I will treat you as if you were my own daughter, and our family will love each other in the future."
