Ada Wood takes back her thoughts and continues to go back. If there is one person in the world who cares about her life and death, only her stepmother, Winni Bush.
When she was given a suspended death sentence in the first trial, she also wanted to die like this. However, her stepmother, who did not have much affection for her, refused to give up her all the time.
She lost her fortune and fought a lawsuit to save her life.
In the end, she was sentenced to 10 years.
And in these five years, she often went to prison to visit her, often sent her delicious food, and had never met once the woman who she gave birth and Aaron Hunter.
She finally knew why her father would loose everything to be with this woman than to enjoy the glory and wealth of her own mother.
When she appeared at her stepmother's buns shop, her stepmother was bringing warm buns to clients.
She saw her temples with grey hairs and tears dripping on the ground like broken beads.
"Ada, is it really you? You came out early? Why are you so thin? "
The moment the stepmother saw Ada Wood, she laughed. Her face was wrinkled, and her tears came out.
She quickly closed the steamed bun shop, and then took Ada Wood home.
"Mom." Ada Wood called this woman's mother for the first time. She used to think that this woman had robbed her father and destroyed her family. But only this woman is really good to her. "Ada, what's wrong with you? Don't scare auntie. "
Winni Bush never expected Ada Wood and Zora Baker to call her a mother. She was afraid that Ada Wood could not accept it. She preferred not to have children all her life and only treat her well.
Otherwise, she would not sell her house to help her fight a lawsuit after Ada Wood's father died. "Mom, I'm fine. I just miss you and the food you cook."
Ada Wood wiped away her tears. She never thought that she and her stepmother would become such a relationship.
"I'll cook for you right away." Ada Wood goes upstairs to her room. At the beginning, although her father left with nothing, he worked hard enough and was diligent enough to let her live a rich life.
She remembers that before she went to prison, her house was at least five times as large as here, and there were a lot of valuable calligraphy and paintings. Now, the house has become smaller, and those things are gone.
She looked at her own things that had been sorted out.
At the beginning, she liked to draw, and every picture she drew was put here.
Her hands touched the stack of familiar paper, tears can not help dripping on the paper,. "Ada, you used to like painting, so I put them away, thinking that you might still use them when you came back."
Winni Bush also wanted to keep something as a memory at the beginning. When she knew that Ada Wood was sentenced to a suspended death sentence, the whole person almost fainted. Fortunately, she survived and gave Ada Wood a slice of hope in prison.
Ada Wood's rough fingers brush the delicate painting paper. These things are much more delicate than those quilts on her body in prison. Her hands are shaking. How long has she not touched these things.
Five years, how many five years can a woman spend. The best five years of her life, she should have enjoyed the love of her father and the doting of her mother.
She worked day and night in prison, not only that, but also often did not have enough to eat.
At first, she would make a scene. Later, after being beaten several times by the expressionless prison guard, she didn't fight anymore.
"Can I still use the painting brush?" Ada Wood seems to be asking Winni Bush and talking to herself.
She has no confidence to pick up this thin and light painting brush, how proud she was at the beginning, although the written test results for other subjects are not enough, but her brush helped her to successfully enter the University Aaron Hunter once went to.
She thought that she could always be like a proud princess, enjoying the love of her sister and Aaron brother.
She once said to Aaron Hunter innocently, "Brother Aaron, Ada has a secret to tell you, but you must be patient when I graduate. Before that, you are not allowed to marry sister."
At that time, Aaron Hunter just scrapped her nose, then nodded and agreed to all her unreasonable demands.
She used to think that as long as she told Aaron Hunter everything, he would give up marrying his sister and then be with her.
But she has always forgotten that if it was not for Zora Baker, he would not have paid any attention to her.
Ada Wood picked up the album that she used to treasure. She opened the thick album, and every picture in it was related to Aaron Hunter.
He is meditative, he is holding his cheek, he is reading documents carefully, he is sleeping, and he is holding his sister's hand, his face is happy.
She loved him so much, and he knew that, so how could she bear the pain of seeing him losing her sister.
Why didn't he listen to her explanation when he was on the roof? Sister is not really she pushed down by her, sister is just tired, really tired.
In fact, she was very tired. In prison, she wanted to commit suicide, but when she was rescued, she didn't dare to be informed of Winni. She was afraid that Winni would be sad. Her only thought at that time was to see brother Aaron, just to see him.
