The boy who once clung to her, wanted to marry her, disappeared with that operation...
No matter what she said or did, Katherine thought she was jealous of her sister, trying to steal her sister's man... even her parents thought she was being excessive and ignored her.
In fact, she was also very tired, facing a person who had no memory of her at all, she had done enough and lost enough.
Today... it can finally be put to an end.
"Miss Hailey, are you alright?" Feng came to her side, looking at her worriedly.
Hailey seemed sadder facing the master's blow than this...
"I can go to the forest now."
Hailey said lightly, slowly putting down the receiver, her eyes devoid of any luster, utterly disheartened.
From Katherine's tone, she knew that no one noticed her disappearance, her being missing.
No one cared about her.
She wondered how long it would take for someone to notice her disappearance. Who would notice first? Hailey? Foster parents? Colleagues? Or... Katherine?
It's not important anymore, is it?
"Miss Hailey, would you rather die than bow to the young master?" Feng asked.
"If bowing can bring freedom, I am willing; if it only brings one of his bedding items, making me live like a walking corpse, I am not willing."
Hailey said softly, stood up from the sofa and left, without a moment of hesitation.
Seeing her so resolute, Feng no longer advised, could only pray for a change...
In the spacious lounge.
Alexander lay on a top-of-the-line space capsule massage chair.
Christina and two beauties stood by the bar, mixing drinks, occasionally walking to Alexander's side, trying their best to attract his attention, but also afraid of angering him, not daring to be flamboyant.
Alexander didn't even glance at them, his hand with distinct knuckles holding a remote control, his handsome face cold as frost, his dark eyes sinisterly staring at the large standing screen in front of him.
The screen showed a dense forest with green waves rolling, it was the forest outside the castle.
Hailey, wearing a long washed blue dress, was pushed in by the bodyguard. She didn't struggle at all, as if she had accepted her fate, step by step walking in, with fallen branches on the ground catching her long dress. She didn't notice at all.
"Young master."
Feng came in from outside, Christina and the others just disdainfully glanced at him.
Feng couldn't help but shake his head. This was the biggest difference between Hailey and the women around the young master.
The women around the young master are not stupid, they all want to climb high branches and ascend to the sky in one step, each trying their best to please the young master, using all their strength, and unconsciously showing their true colors to their subordinates, all kinds of disdain and looking down on her .
Unlike Hailey, she is very polite to all her subordinates, very educated.
"Hmm."
Alexander took a glass of mixed cocktail from Christina and lazily responded.
"Young master." Feng stepped forward, "Young master, is the method used against Miss Hailey too extreme?"
"Feng, it seems that you yourself cannot do what you have spent your whole life writing in 'Butler Ethics'." Alexander gave him an unhappy look.
He actually started to question the master.
Feng lowered his head and said respectfully, "I am really worried about the young master. What the young master wants is not the child, right? If Miss Hailey can't hold on..."
The news of the child would also sink to the bottom of the sea.
"That's because I have been too lenient with her, and when she tastes the taste of being on the brink of death, she will know to loosen her mouth." Alexander was confident.
"What if..."
"There is no what if, get out, all get out!"
Alexander didn't want to listen anymore, and irritably threw the cocktail in his hand.
The delicate glass cup shattered, reflecting countless broken lights...
Alexander was angry, Christina and the others looked at each other, resentfully glared at Feng, the culprit, and then reluctantly left, Feng also left.
Only Alexander was left in the lounge.
He stared straight at the forest on the screen, watching Hailey's back walking deeper and deeper, slender, pale, like a ghost...
The sunlight shining through the gaps in the green leaves shone on her, but it made her look even paler, as if no matter what, it couldn't reach her heart, couldn't warm her at all.
She really had the ability.
Feng was a butler who had been awarded the highest level of medal, always remembering his identity, never speaking more, and now he actually kept pleading for a pretentious woman...
Damn it.
All because of this woman, because of this woman who dared to mock him and tell him to take medicine!
She should be taught a lesson.
Alexander's eyes burst with a cold light, and his fingers quickly adjusted on the remote control, bringing the hidden surveillance installed everywhere in the forest to a scene facing Hailey.
In the picture, Hailey walked forward expressionlessly, step by step, her long hair scattered on her shoulders, behind her branches whirling, tree shadows mottled, green leaves floating around her like lake water, setting her off like an elf...
Alexander hated that he still found her beautiful at that time.
Suddenly, Hailey slightly raised her eyes and looked forward, hitting the position of the hidden camera, as if staring at him through the screen...
On that pale but beautiful face, in a pair of clear black and white eyes, there was no soul, empty... sadly.
As if in urgent need of protection.
"Snap——"
The remote control in his hand fell.
Alexander stared straight at the large screen, his heart suddenly tightened, as if being tightly grasped by a hand, squeezed so that he couldn't breathe...
On the first day in the forest,
Hailey stepped on the grass and moved forward, looking at the trees in front of her. Slaughter fell from the top, landing in front of her.
Is this the last image she sees of this world?
Sleeping in the forest.
For someone who has never been cared about or believed, it seems to be a good ending.
She walked to a slightly larger open space, where a large tree lay horizontally on the ground, somehow broken, leaving only the growth rings one by one...
Hailey sat on the broken tree, holding a stack of white paper in her hand.
It was Feng who forcefully stuffed it to her, thinking that since she was a cartoonist, she must love drawing very much, and it would be good to find some sustenance before her final moment.
Hailey placed the paper on her knees, holding a pencil but not knowing how to start...
She still remembers the first time she drew a person. The model was Katherine.
At that time, he was still an unpopular little blind person, only following her around, liking to hold her hand...
"Xiao Nian, draw me to look better."
"Qian Chu is good-looking no matter how he is drawn, you are the most beautiful."
"Beautiful" is used to describe girls... I really want to see what I look like in your drawing."
"You will see it one day."
"When I see it, will you marry me?"
Memories are like a flood that can't be stopped. Hailey looks down at the blank paper, and the voice of that young man keeps echoing in her ears, stubbornly saying over and over again, asking to marry her.
She forgot whether she had promised at the time.
But she clearly remembers, in the attic of her hometown, the young man stood by the window, blowing the wind.
His beautiful eyes without focus looked in her direction, and he said seriously, "My father was afraid that I would be exposed and disgraced, so he fostered me in your home. Others also didn't like me, thinking I was a blind man in the way... Only you paid attention to me, Xiao Nian, you have to be by my side."
At that time, Katherine also said, "If you are not there, even if I see the whole world, I don't know where to go."
The young man, who was afraid that he wouldn't know where to go without her... had completely forgotten her.
He knows where to go, anywhere.
But he would never come to her.
A drop of water fell on the white paper, blurring a circle.
Hailey blinked her eyes, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then gave a self-mocking bitter smile.
It is said that people will recall everything in the past before they die. It seems she is really not far from the end of life...
"Scratching..."
She quickly moved her pen on the paper, drawing the young man in the attic, and that bit of tearful light was outlined by her into the young man's eyes...
On the second day in the forest,
Hailey, who hadn't eaten or drunk water for a day, was already very hungry and uncomfortable.
The stomach ached in waves.
It was already desperate and numb, but she still had the instinct to survive and tried to drink a little bit of dew on the leaves... As soon as she touched it, the bodyguard rushed in to warn her not to touch it and directly knocked it away.
She couldn't get into anything, even dew, even a leaf.
They were monitoring her all the time, wanting to starve her to death...
Alexander was really ruthless, and it was good. Dying faster would after all shorten the pain a bit.
She leaned against the broken tree sitting on the ground, her long dress was dirty, and she didn't care.
She looked at the towering trees in front of her and started to reminisce,
