Everything in the dream was so real.
The little girl was a little nervous as she hugged her backpack. Her bright eyes were filled with nervousness, excitement, and longing for the future. From time to time, she would sneak a glance at Li Kyung-ran, who was sitting next to her with a cold face.
He was sitting next to her, but she couldn't see him, and he couldn't touch her. He could only watch with his own eyes. This was the day she was brought back to the Family Su.
Li Kyung-ran was the only one who came to pick her up, but her expression and actions were nothing like a mother who had found her long-lost daughter. She was even worse than a stranger.
The atmosphere in the car was a little strange. His little girl was looking at Li Kyung-ran with eyes full of admiration and love for him.
Li Kyung-ran didn't even look at her from beginning to end. Before he got out of the car, he said coldly, "I've discussed it with your dad. You can call us mom and dad at home, but to avoid unnecessary trouble, you will be a distant relative of our Family Su."
He clearly saw the disappointment that flashed across the little girl's eyes, and his heart ached.
He watched as his little fox-like little girl turned into a little white rabbit in front of him. He was obviously sad and in pain, but he still smiled and nodded at her. He said gently, "Got it, mom."
Li Kyung-ran's eyes flashed with obvious disgust. He didn't even look at her and turned to leave.
He watched as his little girl chased after him, so he followed her footsteps.
The little girl's footsteps were a little hurried. She clenched her fists and encouraged herself. Her eyes were full of admiration as she looked at the cold back, as if she was waiting for him to turn around and look at her.
But in the end, that person's footsteps didn't stop for even a second because of her.
His heart ached as he chased after her. He watched as she gave the gifts he had carefully prepared to everyone in the Family Su. He watched as she sweetly called them dad, brother, and sister.
When he saw the Family Su brothers take the gifts in front of him, he couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes. He turned around and threw the gifts into the trash can without opening them.
He looked at Su Ruowan and thanked her with a smile. After closing the door, he threw the gift on the ground and cursed her with a ferocious expression.
He watched as the Su Family chatted and laughed in the brightly lit atmosphere every night during dinner. Everyone surrounded Su Ruowan, trying to make her happy. They put food on her plate, peeled prawns for her, and showered her with all their love.
His little girl was isolated outside, silently eating her rice with red eyes. No one asked her what she liked to eat, no one would give her food, and no one even said a word to her. She was incompatible with this family, as if she was just an invisible person.
He stood by her side. He reached out his hand, wanting to touch her. He wanted to hug her. He wanted to tell her that he was right by her side.
When had his little girl ever been so humble? Looking at her made him feel as if someone was holding a knife and cutting his heart bit by bit.
He watched as the Family Su family chatted and laughed in front of the TV. He watched as Su Yi, Li Kyung-ran, and the other Family Su brothers surrounded her and doted on her.
His little girl could only watch silently and enviously from the side. No one spoke to her, and she felt so awkward that she didn't know how to interrupt.
He watched as she tried so hard to fit in with them, to gain their approval. He watched as she tried so hard to please everyone in the Family Su in her own way. But all she got in return were cold and disgusted gazes.
He watched as she persevered. No matter how she was treated, she would encourage herself time and time again, telling herself that she could do it. It was because she wasn't good enough that she didn't gain the approval of his parents and brother.
He shouted at her loudly, telling her to stop. No matter how hard she tried, the Family Su people wouldn't see it.
He wanted to tell her that she was already very good. She didn't need to change herself and cater to others. It was those bastards in the Family Su who didn't understand how good she was. It was them who didn't deserve her. It wasn't that she wasn't good enough.
He watched as she fought like a child who was trying her best to prove herself. She didn't want to look back even when her head was bruised and bleeding. He felt like his heart was about to break.
How he wished he could return to this moment. How he wished he could find her now and take her away from the Family Su.
He watched as Su Ruowan slipped and fell down the stairs. That damn servant in the Family Su lied through her teeth, saying that she pushed her down. No matter how she tried to explain, no one listened.
He watched as Su Yi whipped her again and again until her flesh was torn apart, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch helplessly.
He looked at her, who was covered in wounds, lying on the bed, biting the corner of the blanket and crying out loud. Her sparkling tears seemed to fall on his heart one by one, burning it.
He watched as she hugged the teddy bear and cried, "I didn't do it. Why did she accuse me?"
She felt so wronged, but all she could do was tell the teddy bear. She was so lonely in the Family Su. She was like an isolated island in the middle of the vast ocean, but she stubbornly persevered.
He looked at the silly girl in front of him and gently approached her face. His hand brushed past her cheek, but he couldn't touch anything. All he could do was watch her sad and upset.
He watched as Su Ruowan rolled into her room in a wheelchair. He watched as she pretended to care for her and thanked Su Ruowan with a face full of gratitude.
He wanted so badly to wake her up and tell her that it was Su Ruowan who did it. She planned everything, but she didn't know. She thought the servant had wronged her.
When Su Yi questioned Su Ruowan, she came out to protect her. Even though her leg was broken, she still spoke up for her and explained that she accidentally stepped on air.
But the more she said that, the more the Family Su people thought she was too kind. They spoke up for her and helped her cover up. Instead, they punished her even more severely.
He watched as she hugged the teddy bear after Su Ruowan left and muttered to herself, "Say, if I become like Wanwan, will Dad, Mom, and Brother like me?"
His heart was bleeding from the pain. He looked at his little girl who was covered in wounds. Even at a time like this, she didn't feel the slightest bit of resentment. She was still thinking about how to gain their approval.
How could she be so stupid? So stupid!
The happiness she desperately chased after wasn't worth it to her. They weren't worthy.
She had more than she could ever imagine. When would she wake up and turn back to look at her foster parents who kept chasing after her?
He watched her fall asleep, watched her wake up, watched her chase after the happiness she would never be able to reach.
She thought that happiness was the Su Family's complete acceptance of her.
