Chapter 4: Torment

“Have you said goodbye to Lay?”

Pandora silently shook her head. After all, she still didn’t have the courage to say it.

Irene thought for a moment. She considered whether or not she should say what she was about to say. After a while of psychological struggle, Irene finally opened up:

“Last time Lay called me, he asked why he couldn’t contact you. He was anxious. When you come back, he told me to call him. He also told us to look after you. You, when the night comes, I’ll pick you up. Don’t leave you outside alone.”

Of course, Pandora knew how much Lay worried about her. She also did not want to break up, thousands of times did not want to break up. She wants to be with him forever, at least until they no longer have feelings for each other. But it seems that God did not want to tolerate this feeling. Really, the two have a predestined relationship but no destiny, that’s all. Pandora is not willing, but now she has no other choice. She has been cornered. She can’t be crazy enough to leave her father, leaving the James family company to not worry.

Pandora also didn’t know when she could say break up, though she knew that the sooner the better, she knew her unjustified disappearance would worry Lay. She shouldn’t torment him, shouldn’t let him suffer. The one who is wrong is here, so in the end she should accept everything. Pandora turned on the phone, but in the end her fingers froze. She couldn’t control it according to her own will. All her actions are now scattered by thoughts and emotions.

Irene next to her saw Pandora’s gesture. She knew what she was going to do. She said:

“You can call Lay tomorrow. Maybe he’s already... sleeping now.” Irene choked on the last two words, because she probably knew that until she received the news of Pandora, Lay would not sleep. Irene sighed. She didn’t know what to do with this either.

At this moment, the car turned into the garage of the apartment complex where Irene, Yerin and Pandora lived. Irene parked the car, then the two went up to the house.

In the apartment of the three, Yerin was still awake and waiting, but when she saw Pandora’s return, she saw full of tears in her face. Her red and red eyes were tired. She knew she asked little more. Pandora entered the room. She locked the door and fell on the bed.

Pandora’s head was empty, her eyes were lifeless, questioning those things, still the old things that had not been thought of properly were always swirling around in her head. Pandora held the phone, didn’t know when she had dialed Mrs. Tiffany James.

Quickly, Mrs. Tiffany James picked up the phone.

“Hello, what’s wrong, daughter? How do you feel today? Young master of the Forger family is not bad, right? How are you two talking?”

Pandora was silent for a moment. The words of Mrs. Tiffany James somehow hurt her heart. She curled up in herself, then hoarsely called out:

“Mommy.”

Mrs. Tiffany James didn’t get her answer. Her excitement was like a fire thrown into cold water. She replied:

“What?”

“Mother... can I... can’t marry the second young master of the Forger family?” The moment she said that, Pandora’s tears flowed, falling onto the pillow. The sound was so clear she could hear it. She could also feel the hot tears slowly cooling, but her heart froze right now.

After hearing that, Mrs. Tiffany James was silent for a long time, seemed surprised, seemed angry and she was trying to calm down. Finally, her voice came out:

“Pandora, didn’t you promise me? Why have you changed your mind now? Don’t you care about your parents anymore?”

Pandora choked:

“My family needs money mom, if we need money, we can sell our house, sell our car. What do we need in a nice house, a luxury car? Just having fun together is fine, right? I can borrow from relatives, I will pay later, I don’t go to university anymore, I will go to work to earn money to treat my father’s illness and support my family.”

Pandora held a faint glimmer of hope, hoping that Mrs. Tiffany James would agree. She said again:

“We’ve been running a business for so many years, so we don’t have any savings after all, Mom? We can manage on our own. Why rely on the Forger Family?”

Pandora cried silently. She didn’t want to break up with Lay; she didn’t want to betray his love. She also didn’t want to ruin her life. Pandora will volunteer to suffer, she will go to work, she not to go to college anymore, she will to give up her passion, it’s just that she doesn’t want to become a political daughter-in-law, she doesn’t want to.

By this time, Mrs. Tiffany James must have heard Pandora’s cry too, but that cry and her pleas did not sway her. She said coldly,

“Since the time when your dad was sick, the company has gone down. The money in the family has been taken to pay debts, support the company. What else is there? Pandora, the James family’s company that is the family property of your dad. It’s the whole life and heart of your father, let alone closing the company. You don’t want this to happen, do you, Pandora, you love your father, right? Only the Forger family can help us. You’re the eldest daughter. How can you look at your father like that and not worry?”

Pandora completely fell into despair. She felt as if she had just been thrown into an unseen precipice and did not know when this tragedy would ever end. She quietly hung up the phone, but at this moment, Mrs. Tiffany James said,

“Let’s visit your father tomorrow. He is currently at K hospital.”

Pandora quietly did not answer, as if listening. Say you love your father? Of course, she, she loved every part of her intestines, her own flesh and blood, who wouldn’t feel sorry for her. But human is born with selfishness. Pandora is also a human being with heart and blood. She is not a puppet who listens to what anyone says. She is not a piece of wood, can severe self-love with a knife-like s***h. Love is also an emotion. It is also a part of the human heart. It is just like family love, but why is it so cheaply overlooked? If there is no love, then there is family sympathy. Pandora found it ridiculous, her mother told her to protect the James family’s company, because it was her father’s whole life, she said that her don’t love her father, but then her parents don’t love her, in the end, it’s fair. Is boy friend more important, or her loved one more important?

Pandora doesn’t know, in her mind suddenly came up with a crazy thought, which is to give up everything to love Lay, then she will think of a way to build the James family’s company, but then that thought quickly was brushed off. No one believes, even her mother does not believe in her. Who will believe? Pandora reached out her hand to ruffle her hair. She seemed to want to pull all the hair on her head down. She was frustrated; she was miserable; she was frustrated; she was desperate.

Pandora didn’t understand why God put her in such an extreme situation. Did he want her to be exhausted and die like a defeated person? Pandora begins to reminisce about those peaceful days. She remembers her high school years, when the whole family was always happy, her father pampered and loved her, but now he’s about to leave. She remembered the first day she met Lay at her class’s speech. He was on the jury; she was on stage; it was really beautiful.

There is something beautiful, but forever. Pandora misses her father and cries again. But she also fell into a situation like a broken heart. Tomorrow, how will she face Lay?

At this moment, the phone rang, making Pandora jump. She looked down, saw two words Lay appear on the screen, suddenly, she was stunned.

Pandora kept staring at the phone’s screen with a blank eye until it rang a second time, that she slowly picked it up and pressed the button.

Lay’s voice, which is familiar but now is also what breaks down the little wall that Pandora has just built in her heart, letting her burst out the hurt, pitiful and resentful emotions. Pandora covered her mouth, not letting her cry come out. At this moment, she really wanted to run to him, let him hug her, lean on him. All the storms out there can’t hurt Pandora. Never has she felt so deeply and deeply missed Lay, because maybe this is the last nostalgia she has for him. She felt a crazy desire to be comforted and comforted by him. In front of Lay, Pandora couldn’t really act strong.

Lay’s voice rang out:
