“Grandpa…is that true?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The desperate voice of Anne Gray comes from the door. Grandfather Gray, Lucien Gray and Nina Morrison all turn to look at the doorway. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Anne Gray shakes like an aspen leaf. Her pretty face is so pale and bloodless. She is staring at Grandfather Gray blankly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Nina Morrison and Lucien Gray look at each other with some apprehension. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They don’t expect Anne to come back suddenly and hear her life experience. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She has always been proud of her identity as the daughter of Gray Family. Now, her dignity and pride are crushed to powder mercilessly. Can she bear such a strike? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Anne, listen to me…” Lucien Gray releases Nina Morrison and walks over to Anne Gray, trying to calm her down. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Go away!” Anne Gray pushes Lucien Gray away, points him on the nose and yells, “I don’t need your mercy! Don’t pretend to care about me!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Seeing Lucien Gray is scolded, Nina Morrison walks over, and holds his arm. She wants to help him comfort Anne Gray. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Anne, you must be clear how well your brother treat you. Isn’t it a little harsh for you to say that?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Anne Gray breaks out in tears after a long struggle and sneers, “Nina Morrison! You must have enjoyed the theatre, haven’t you? I’m not the daughter of Gray Family, I’m a bastard! You must be very happy?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Enough!” Grandfather Gray suddenly shouts loudly, “Anne Gray! Shut up!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Grandfather Gray has that kind of stateliness without being angry. If he becomes angry, everyone could feel the threatening atmosphere. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Anne Gray freezes, then she covers her face and bursts into tears. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Anne, you are so disrespectful Do you know that Lucien fall out with his father to keep you? Lucien’s father has stayed in America for 20 years. Do you think he’s just hiding from your mother? He did it to avoid you!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Speaking of his only son, Grandfather Gray cannot help crying, “My son lives like a ghost because of Carolyn. He doesn’t even want his own blood! I think he might as well be mad, too. A severe depression like that is more painful than madness!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Nina Morrison is shocked to know that Lucien Gray and his dad have this severe problem. No wonder he did that to his son! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
For people with major depression disorder, the world is a mad place. Anyone could be persecuting them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In his subconscious, he doesn’t shoot Lucien Gray, but the woman he loves and hates–Carolyn. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Anne Gray bursts into tears. Her whole world collapses. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When she was very young, she knew that there was a terrible crazy woman living in the old house. Out of curiosity, she had once peeped at her from afar through the iron fence. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Later, she moved to the Gray Family villa together with her brother. And the mysterious woman is also buried in the depths of her memory. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After more than ten years, she is suddenly told that the hideous woman was her mother! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And she has nothing to do with the Gray Family. She’s just a bastard! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Nina Morrison holds Lucien Gray’s hand and her eyes turns red. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In this story, everyone loses. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lucien Gray’s father is a tragedy, Lucien Gray’s childhood is a tragedy, Carolyn is a tragedy, Anne Gray is also a tragedy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If Carolyn hadn’t run off with a punk, if Lucien Gray’s father hadn’t ruined her face…Everything might be different. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But how can life be hypothesized? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Love is both honey and poison. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
People’s obsession sometimes is a hell. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
