Together forever

Mother… mother…” The screams became weaker and weaker, collapsed on the cold floor, her eyes glittering like dew from wet tears, she painfully watched the hospital bed being pushed away by the doctors. To this day, she still can't believe that her gentle mother has left the world. Her heart felt like something was suffocating, as if there were thousands of knives piercing her heart. From now on, she has become an orphan, without a father, without a mother. From now on, she will no longer be able to hear her mother sing, no longer see her smile, nor be able to snuggle into her mother's lap when she is tired. A middle-aged woman hurriedly walked over and hugged Maria in her arms, her eyes filled with tears, and her voice was choked by emotion. "Maria, your mother gave you back to my family. Later on, the family will be your family." Although she didn't say it, her heart knew that from now on, she would become a stinging nettle clinging to other people's houses. That life, whether she wanted it or not, she still had to go through it because it was her mother's last wish, she couldn't go against it. After her mother's funeral ended, Maria packed up her belongings at the old inn and officially entered the Julia family's doorstep. Appearing in front of her eyes was a huge golden gate. Looking deep inside is a spacious garden. Beyond is a huge villa of the first and second class in California. She spread her steps on the green grass and walked towards the luxurious villa. Her eyes, melancholy, absentmindedly looked at everything, her body trembled as if a cold air gradually penetrated into each skin tissue. It was all alien, and the aristocracy and authorities made her feel insecure. The butler from the opposite side walked towards her, he carefully carried the suitcase for her and said: "The mistress has been waiting for you for a long time." She crept along with the housekeeper into the large mansion, her tearful eyes turned around and stopped at the picture hanging on the wall. It's an old man, Julia- James , who is living off his mother's heartbeat. Her mother, before she died because of terrible cancer, agreed to donate her heart to save James's life. Because she was not sure about herself, she only made one condition: that the Julia family should be responsible for her. Even if she had to take on the name of a pragmatist or be a slut, David still didn't want to make his mother feel uneasy. "Maria, are you here already?" Maria walked down the stairs and said cheerfully. "Hello aunt…" "Do not formal. From now on, it will be my home.” As soon as the words finished, Bella approached and pulled Maria to sit on the sofa. As soon as he saw the shadow of David looming at the top of the stairs, Bella called out loudly. "David, come here for a moment." When he saw Maria, showed a disliked face. His gaze was as cold as the North Pole, making her feel cold to the bone. “I still have work to do. If you have something to say, say it quickly." Bella's lips parted in a smile as if to relieve some of the tension between the two children, she said slowly: "Anyway, Maria can't go into my house for no reason. So… I decided… let the two of you get married.” Both of them were stunned when they heard Bella's statement, the voices of a man and a woman mixed together. "Get married..." "It can't be." Bella glared at David, gritted his teeth and said: “That was also what my father meant. If you don't want it, I'll tell Dad. Let's see if your small company can survive then?" Although his heart arose in a storm, David still had to bite his teeth and smile. "No mom, we can talk about anything." “Okay then, let’s decide like that.” Things were gradually deviating from the trajectory, making Maria extremely bewildered. She went from a street wanderer into the Julia family and is now about to marry David. It is rumored that David is a "cold maniac", especially to women. Living next to him is like being close to the tiger's mouth, just a little careless conviction that she can't die with all the corpses. What will she have to do in the future? When she was startled out of her terrifying thoughts, Maria just looked up and was frightened by David's sharp eyes and cowered in fear. At that time, she was like a hedgehog standing in front of the enemy instinctively but thorny. Bella saw this and stroked Maria's hair to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, if he does anything to you, just tell me." "Yes..." Maria nodded slightly. "Butler Julia took Maria to his room to rest." Before she finished speaking, Julia's housekeeper appeared next to Maria, making her a little stunned. Perhaps because she was not used to the life of servants, she was a bit panicked. Her room was on the third floor next to the stairs, the interior was like a miniature house. It was even more comfortable than the old inn she had stayed in before. “Miss, if you need anything, just call me.” "Yes, thank you." After finishing work, the housekeeper also leaves, leaving Maria lonely and lost. She was not used to this place, much less accustomed to the high life. She didn't want to marry that cold-faced guy, but she couldn't disobey her mother either. She slowly sat down on the bed, her eyes thoughtfully looking out the window. The sky today is as gray as her heart, the autumn leaves and trees withered like her mood. In the eyes of the brooding, everywhere he looked, the scene was so bleak. She wanted to cry but couldn't shed a single tear, sometimes it felt like someone's hand squeezed her heart. For a whole day, Maria just locked herself in her room without eating, drinking, or talking to anyone. She kept sitting next to the window with her knees bent, looking aimlessly out at the vast sky and earth. The sky is dark with no moon and stars, the headlights shining outside the main door gradually turn into the villa. Maria knows the cold face has returned, every time she remembers his expressionless eyes, she wakes up. an uncontrollable fear. David confidently walked over with his hands in his pockets, when he saw Bella sighing and lamenting on the sofa, he lingered and asked. "Mom, what's wrong?" "Maria had not eaten anything all day. What should I do?" David was speechless. He didn't expect his mother to be so kind to a stranger. “Mother… there is no way to repay the favor. Follow me, just throw her a bunch of money and chase her away." Those words made Bella want to vomit blood, she waved her hand repeatedly at her son's shoulder: “What are you talking about? Regardless of the cost, this marriage must take place. Quick… now go up and coax her to eat right away for me.” "Do not go." David refused. Bella's eyes widened, her voice urgent and urgent: “Go… Or…” helplessly raised his butt and stood up: "Go, I go..."
