Chapter 10

Daniel pressed the light button, suddenly the room was bright and dazzling for me. My head is dizzy and I feel like I want to vomit.

Daniel still left the horrible paintings displayed on his bedroom wall. I could see the reaction of my mother and Steven who were as shocked as I was when they first saw the paintings.

"Oh my god, what is this painting?" Asked mother, I had expected that other person's reaction would be like that. anyone who was still in a normal state would be as afraid as me.

"What is wrong?" Daniel asked, he really didn't seem to care about other people's opinions.

"Is this a human painting?" Jenny asked, she looked at a painting of a teenage girl with four legs sitting on the sofa.

"You don't think he's human?" Daniel asked sarcastically.

"No, but why do you paint people like this? Aren't there any models-"

"Everyone has the right to be painted and immortalized in paintings, without exception!" He said.

"You're right, everyone has the same right to be beautiful!" Said Steven. He smiled slightly as he looked at the paintings. I can't believe he has the same taste in art as Daniel, very unusual taste.

Daniel didn't answer, even though Steven agreed with his opinion this time. However, he still showed his displeasure.

Mother, Jenny and Steven checked the entire room, they found nothing, including signs of a small child, in this room.

"There are no children, maybe you just misheard!" Jenny said.

"No way, I heard it clearly, they were talking about-"

"But it's okay here, I think Daniel is right. You must be hallucinating, I'd better take you back to the hospital and-"

"What? But, I really heard it. Mom, can you believe me?" I asked, I really don't believe this.

"Katie, you should rest in your room and don't talk nonsense like this again. If not, I will have to take you to the hospital!"

"But, Mom-"

"Never mind, come on, Kate! I'll accompany you to your room. You have to rest!" Jenny pulled me and took me to the room.

I don't understand why they behave like this? Even mother trusts Daniel more than me.

"I can't believe this! I'm cured, I'm not sick anymore, don't treat me like someone who is dying!" My mind is screaming, I can't even say it. What kind of fear is this?!

Even though I had closed my eyes, I could feel my legs shaking, I was scared. Those voices, I still remember them clearly. I know who they mean. Yes, I know, that's me.

I know, today is the day I've been waiting for. Finally, after months of living in exile. Now the day has come where I can feel the atmosphere that I used to feel.

I wore the clothes that my mother prepared, complete with a neatly arranged wig. Actually I don't want to wear it anymore, I'm not ashamed of my situation. Now I just want to live it in peace, but mother forbids me. He didn't want me to be an unattractive spectacle because of my condition.

Mom said my face still looked pale and had to be disguised with a little make-up, of course Jennie was an expert in that matter.

"Well, now you look beautiful and fresh!" She said while asking me to look at my face in the mirror.

I was a little amazed, where was that pale face and sad eyes? I really can't believe I can be this good.

"Is it really me?" I asked in disbelief. Jennie laughed at my behavior.

"Hahaha...of course, you're already beautiful from there. So you just need to put on a little make-up,"

"Beautiful? You must be joking, this is all because of your magic power, Jen!"

"You admit it, right? If it's just like this, it's too easy for me."

"Thank you, Jennie!"

"No need to thank me, you just need to look after Calvin and Chloe for a while, while I get ready. Mom and Kelly haven't finished dressing up, even though it's not their event, but they are the busiest!"

"What about Steven? He's not coming?"

"He can't come, his boss at the office asked him to work, I'm afraid he will work overtime tonight,"

"Really? That's a shame, isn't it?"

"Yeah...it can't be helped, his salary at the advertising company isn't that big. Do you know what life's needs are like now? If he doesn't work hard, I'm afraid Calvin and Chloe won't be able to go to college."

"But they are still 4 years old, have you thought that far ahead?"

"Of course, what are you like? When you become a parent you will feel it yourself. But I hope you can get a rich husband, don't be like me!" He said.

"Is there really a man interested in me?"

"Don't be discouraged like that

, of course there is. Never mind, I want to get ready first, please look after the twins for a moment. They are playing in the living room!"

"Yes, alright."
