Michael, being the keen observer that he was, noticed the change in my expression.

“Why the sad face? What happened at the hospital?”

He caressed my back gently as he spoke. Although his tone was placid, I could feel a hint of genuine care for me.

“I got chased out by them.”

I spoke as a wry smile etched itself on my face. Hah! What a joke to be rejected by my own family!

Upon hearing my answer, he paused for a few seconds before resuming to caress my back.

“Why?” He looked at me with a face devoid of emotion.

“They think that I’m the one who caused Steven to become like this. Every one of them is blaming me…”

I wasn’t sure why I told Michael everything that happened back at the hospital. After all, he had nothing to do with it, and there was nothing he could do to fix it.

Michael did not say a word after that, but I could see his expression darkening.

“Since you got chased out, there is no need for you to go back anymore. Just stay with me from now on.”

He held me tightly in his embrace and said in a low voice.

Even though his tone sounded extremely possessive, I felt touched by his words.

I hugged him tightly as tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably. I intended to suppress my sadness, but I soon realized I could no longer take it on my own. What I needed at that moment was someone to confide in out and someone to rely on.
