He held Knight's letter and showed it to Dr. Smith. Then, Dr. Smith told him everything.
It turned out that the mother he had been searching for so many years had been living on the same piece of land as him?
Then, he couldn't stop his own heart.
He secretly went to see her.
He saw all the kindness she showed Gem Atkinson.
He suddenly felt that the world was so unfair!
He had been without a mother since birth.
Gem grew up under the protection of his mother.
When he was young, he suffered all sorts of indifference, disgust, and disdain, like a beggar dressed in fine clothes!
When Gem was young, he enjoyed all sorts of warmth, pampering, and pleasing, truly like a little prince dressed in fine clothes!
At fifteen, he had nothing and was fighting against illness.
At fifteen, Gem was light-hearted and carefree, enjoying the best of his youth!
His life was filled with no fatherly guidance, no maternal love, and relatives full of scorn, mockery, and disdain.
