This is your sin, you must pay for it.

After the howling snow, a cold wind passed.
After enduring the gloomy snowy day, the city finally welcomed a rare sunny day. Lv Aicao got up early every day, put on a heavy down jacket, and ran to the morning market to buy breakfast.
Le Chengyu is not picky about food, which makes her very thankful, so she can buy different kinds of breakfast, sometimes steamed buns, sometimes fried dough sticks, and sometimes pot stickers.
Le Chengyu had clearly stated that he didn't want her to get up early and go out, and that he could go with her, or just cook at home. But all of these were rejected by Lv Aicao without hesitation. She didn't really like buying breakfast, but she would become useless if she stayed at his house for too long.
This period of time is not only Lu Aicao's vacation, but also Le Chengyu's vacation. He found some unknown reason to ask for leave from the school with extremely strict management, so he had plenty of time to watch her.
We have to eat together, watch TV together, go shopping together, take walks together, stick together all the time, and every second has to be under his nose.
What Lu Aicao couldn't stand was that he didn't want to go out more often, because he didn't know what Shen Ping would do in a rage.
But Lu Aicao felt like she was just sitting there waiting to die. She could only get sporadic information from Liang Bo's text messages when he wasn't paying attention, but this was far from enough.
She was as anxious as a rabbit at home, but Le Chengyu always looked like he had everything planned out, which reassured her.
Lu Aicao wanted to ask him why he was so sure, but he always pretended to be mysterious and just looked at her with a smile until she couldn't help but blush.
Every time she thought of this, she felt like she was on a pirate ship. She used to think this boy was cheerful and generous, but after getting to know him, she felt that he was more like a fox, and a fox who would use beauty to trick people. Lu Aicao thought that if he still restricted himself like this today, she would resist the temptation and move out.
Thinking of this, she pressed the combination lock. The moment the door opened, Lu Aicao saw a scene that made her feel too incredible - Le Chengyu, Yang Jianye and Yang Xingxue were sitting on the sofa chatting and laughing.
Seeing the surprised Ai Cao at the door, the conversation between the three people came to an abrupt end, and they all looked at Lu Aicao with approval.
Lu Aicao was stunned for a moment. Le Chengyu immediately took the breakfast from Yang Xingxue, took her hand and brought her to Yang Jianye.
"Aicao, long time no see." Yang Jianye was a little at a loss when he saw Lu Aicao, but still looked at her expectantly.
Lv Aicao sat in front of them in a bit of surprise. At this moment, she seemed to understand why Le Chengyu had been so sure. At this moment, Le Cheng patted her hand gently and held it again. This action seemed to be announcing something, firmly attracting the attention of the Yang father and daughter.
"Aicao, Uncle Yang came to see you this time because he has something good to tell you." Le Chengyu was calm and composed, looking like Lu Aicao's backer.
Yang Jianye was a little surprised, thinking that Ai Cao had just opened the combination lock. Has the relationship between the two people become so close?
"Really? Then tell me."
Lu Aicao's coldness and aloofness made Yang Jianye's heart tremble.
"Aicao, you see, you get along so well with me and Xingxue, and your mother and I were very good high school classmates. She passed away, and I should have taken good care of you, but I didn't expect that your Aunt Shen was always suspicious and even did a lot of things to hurt you." Looking at Ai Cao's indifferent expression in front of him, Yang Jianye's eyes flashed a trace of sadness, "So I want to adopt you as my goddaughter to make up for it, so that your Aunt Shen will no longer be suspicious and will not hurt you again. And you are definitely not just a nominal daughter. In my heart, you are like my own child, and I will also give you some of my property..."
"Mr. Yang, I think you may have made a mistake." Lu Aicao raised her eyebrows and looked at Yang Jianye with a smile.
Yang Jianye's eyes were full of astonishment. He had probably only seen this kind of cold and arrogant expression on the faces of his ever-changing business rivals. He couldn't figure out what his daughter had experienced since she was a child to inadvertently reveal this expression of suppressing her rivals.
"No matter how rich you are, you can't just accept a goddaughter whenever you want. Aren't you being too nonchalant?"
"Artemisia, that's not what I meant. I just want to make it up to you as much as possible."
"You have always been very good to me, and there is no need to make amends. As for what your wife Shen Ping did, the consequences should be borne by her. I have no interest in becoming a member of your family, and I don't want to cause unnecessary disputes."
The extremely cold answer extinguished all the hope in Yang Jianye's heart. For the first time in so many years, he felt so frustrated. And the person who frustrated him was none other than his own daughter. Although she had a face very similar to Ruoping, her personality was completely opposite - cold and distant, vigilant and defensive, alert and calm. No matter which one, it was not the quality that she should have at her age, which made her gestures like a middle-aged person who had experienced many hardships.
Looking at her clear eyes, he thought of what she had told him in the study. Guilt and heartache slowly wrapped around his heart like vines, leaving him speechless for a moment.
"Aicao, you should at least think about it. After all, your current situation..." Yang Xingxue also helped persuade him. But she couldn't know what Yang Jianye was thinking. She simply felt that if she couldn't satisfy Ai Cao, then Le Chengyu, as Lu Ai Cao's "guardian", would definitely do something to embarrass his mother.
"I'm in good condition now. If there's nothing else, please leave." Lu Aicao made a gesture of invitation.
Yang Xingxue and Yang Jianye said in unison: "Think about it again."
With a light sigh, Lu Aicao looked at Le Chengyu and nodded in a compromising manner: "Okay, I'll give you an answer in three days."
"Okay, Ai Cao, I hope we can become a family!" Yang Jianye said solemnly, and Yang Xingxue finally smiled.
"Why don't you accept Yang Jianye's proposal? He can also share your family property. It's very tempting." Le Chengyu put the cut strawberry into Lu Aicao's mouth and said a little provocatively, "In this way, I can bring you to my family in the future, and you can also be called the second lady of the Yang family."
"Stop being so conceited. Who wants to see your family?" Although she knew that the other party was teasing her, Lu Aicao couldn't help but blush. "Honestly, did you tell the Yang family something? Otherwise, how could they find this place?"
"I didn't say anything. I just sent some information about Shen Ping hiring someone to beat you to Yang Jianye a few days ago. Although I promised Shen Ping not to tell anyone, I didn't say it out loud. I just made it clear in writing. This also indirectly shows my attitude. The choice is still in his hands." Le Chengyu put his arm on Lu Aicao's shoulder very naturally.
Lu Aicao did not push him away, but leaned in his arms somewhat awkwardly.
Le Chengyu is always like this. Although he doesn't say any sweet words, he can always make her happy with just a few words, as if she can lean on his arms peacefully and ignore the wind and rain outside.
"But I didn't expect that he would directly say that he would adopt you as his goddaughter. If I were you, I would agree without hesitation and then take all his property and squander it." Not realizing that the person in his arms was already fluttering with excitement, Le Chengyu joked while peeling an orange, with his arms completely around Ai Cao.
"If I agree to him so quickly, he might become suspicious. He is an old fox." Lu Aicao snorted twice, her eyes unconsciously fell on his hand that was right in front of her, her face seemed to be burning.
"But this old fox... loves you very much." Le Chengyu paused, but still said it.
This sentence caused Lu Aicao to remain silent for a while.
Le Chengyu knew her inner struggle and said nothing more, just rubbed her hair lovingly. Coincidentally, Lu Aicao's cell phone rang at this moment. Le Chengyu turned around and took it for her, but accidentally glanced at the sender's name - Jing Zhuoran.
Without any evasion, Lv Aicao opened the message directly in front of him. The content of the message was concise and to the point. Jing Zhuoran hoped that she would agree to Yang Jianye's proposal and that he would treat her like a family member in the future.
Lu Aicao curled her lips and threw her phone away casually.
What a hypocrite. If he really wants to be nice to me, he should just turn himself in!
"Why? If he knew your attitude, he would be very sad." Le Chengyu said innocently.
"Can you please stop saying such things that disgust me?" Lu Aicao turned around and rolled her eyes at him, but in return Le Chengyu hugged her even tighter.
His thin chin rested on her thin shoulder, and there was a warmth where their skin touched: "Actually, there is one thing I haven't told you yet."
"ah?"
"I had already seen that the boy had bad intentions towards you, so I told him that we were together."
Lu Aicao looked at him in a daze, so now everyone knows that the two of them are together?
Looking at the boy in front of her who was smiling at her cunningly, she suddenly realized that after living for more than ten years, this was the first time she had met a worthy opponent, and the other party was a sinister man disguised as a kind-hearted man.
It took Lu Aicao three full days to organize, print and back up all the information and evidence in his hands.
These included details about Yang Jianye in her mother's diary, evidence that Jing Zhuoran killed her mother and had someone switch the body, financial documents of Yang Jianye's company, and evidence and information that Shen Ping hired someone to beat her up.
It was already early morning when he finished all this. Lu Aicao didn't even have time to wash up and fell asleep on the table.
After taking a shower, Le Chengyu saw that she was exhausted, and carried her back to the room with some heartache. In fact, this was his first time in Lv Aicao's room. Although they lived under the same roof, Lv Aicao only allowed him to be intimate with her in places like the living room and kitchen, and she didn't even allow him to enter places like the bedroom.
What on earth is she thinking about all day? Le Chengyu smiled at her cute sleeping face and gently tapped her forehead. Who knew that this little action would wake Lu Aicao up.
Under the warm yellow light, the boy in front of me seemed more handsome than usual.
Her wet hair hung down, her bathrobe slightly opened, revealing her smooth and firm chest. He leaned over gently, looking at the little girl in his arms tenderly. He liked to call her little girl, which was his new name for her, and he always liked to call her in different ways.
Lv Aicao looked at him in a daze and smiled foolishly. She rarely showed such an unguarded smile, but after getting to know him, she gave it to him without reservation.
"I bought you a dress today. I wanted to have it custom made, but I didn't have enough time."
After he said that, Lu Aicao remembered that she had agreed to adopt a goddaughter a few days ago. Yang Jianye was very happy , and immediately booked a venue to hold a cocktail party to announce this matter.
Because of this unexpected cocktail party, Lu Aicao was so anxious to prepare the materials. After all, there would be reporters present, and this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.
"I forgot about preparing the dress." She patted her head.
"It may not suit your taste, but at least it's what Leyou chose, so it can't be wrong."
"I don't have any aesthetic taste. I'm just a country girl." Lu Aicao smiled self-deprecatingly, but Cheng Yu just looked at her and thought she was so cute even when she made fun of herself.
Le Chengyu gently stroked her face and kissed her. It was like the many kisses she had had with him since they met in the vast sea of ​​people, gentle, long-lasting, and infinitely thrilling.
Perhaps she accidentally touched his exposed skin, or perhaps she thought that the posture with him was too suggestive, so Lu Aicao pushed him away.
"It's time to go to bed, Mr. Le." She panted softly and looked at him mischievously.
Le Chengyu raised his eyebrows helplessly: "Okay, little girl, good night." Standing up, he walked to the door, but turned his head back, "Oh, by the way, get up early tomorrow, Le You will help you dress up."
"Yeah." She hid herself in the quilt and nodded shyly.
"Good night."
"Good night."
When Lv Aicao knew what it felt like to fall in love with someone, she began to understand why her mother was so stubborn in giving birth to her. Even if that person is not around, the taste of memory can remain in the heart.
Love, who can explain it clearly?
Early the next morning, Lu Aicao was awakened by the chattering of Le You, and following her came Xu Yuan, who was dressed like a little snowball.
This surprised Lu Aicao, after all, she hadn't seen Xuyuan for a long time.
The first time Xu Yuan saw her, he shouted that she had lost weight and asked Le Chengyu to be responsible.
Le Chengyu said innocently that she could eat much more than him.
Lu Aicao looked at everyone laughing and suddenly felt that life was so wonderful.
When Le You opened the dress, Lv Aicao was stunned. The white dress was embellished with pink flower embroidery, and the unknown fabric on the dress looked like gauze and silk, which immediately brought out the fairy spirit of the whole dress. The word "beautiful" alone could not describe the dress. However, what surprised her even more was that Le Chengyu took out a pair of very beautiful nude high heels like a magic trick. Lv Aicao recognized it as Yang Xingxue's favorite brand at a glance.
She looked at Le Chengyu with some blame, but Le Chengyu just shrugged.
After Le You put the dress on Lv Aicao, she was stunned. She always felt that Lv Aicao had a kind of fairy spirit, and this fairy spirit was revealed without reservation after she put on this dress. She suddenly felt that her brother was comparable to a sage who gambled on stones, and Lv Aicao was undoubtedly the best uncut jade.
The white and delicate skin was not covered by the skirt, but was set off as if it was transparent. The slender waist was set off by the skirt that spread out below her body, as if she was just a fairy who accidentally got lost in the flowers.
After putting on exquisite makeup for her, Le You put her own set of jewelry on Ai Cao, then parted her bangs in the middle and curled the ends of her hair into an elegant arc.
When Le Chengyu saw Lu Aicao again, he was stunned, which made Lu Aicao smile shyly.
"Aicao...you are a fairy who has descended to earth today..." Xu Yuan immediately rushed over and stood beside her, looking at her curiously.
Le You patted her head and asked her to move aside, then took out the perfume and sprayed it on Lu Aicao's neck and wrists.
"This is my brother's favorite perfume!" Le You pushed Lu Aicao to Le Chengyu, then winked at her brother ambiguously.
Lu Aicao was a little unsteady on her feet, so Le Chengyu supported her and put his arms around her slender waist.
"I suddenly don't want to take you with me." Le Chengyu said sincerely.
"how?"
"Others will miss you very much ." He leaned close to her ear, his voice carrying a hint of grievance.
Lu Aicao was amused by him and laughed out loud, but she just thought it was a joke. She picked up the handbag of the same color that she had prepared long ago and held it tightly in her hand.
After checking the time, several people quickly packed up and headed to the reception. It was not until before getting in the car that Lu Aicao thought of making a wish.
"Xuyuan can't go. Please help me send her back, Leyou."
Le You looked at Xu Yuan hesitantly who looked disappointed. Xu Yuan looked at them softly without saying a word. Le You could only nod.
"This is a tough battle. I can't let Xuyuan be exposed to the outside world." Lu Aicao pinched Xuyuan's face and said softly, "Be good, when I win, I will go back and reunite with you."
"Okay... then be careful, I'll wait for you to come back." Xu Yuan hugged her.
Only after watching Le You drive his own scooter to send Xu Yuan away did Lv Aicao feel relieved and get in the car. Along the way, Lv Aicao was a little nervous, but fortunately Le Chengyu was always by her side.
"Don't worry, after this battle, we will win." Le Chengyu clasped his fingers with hers, and the warmth of his body could be felt at her fingertips.
Lu Aicao took a deep breath, turned her head, and her sight gradually blended into the street scene outside the window.
The cocktail party was arranged at one of the most famous clubs in the city.
As soon as he got out of the car, Lv Aicao saw many luxury cars and reporters surrounding the club. The moment they saw the people getting out of the car, the spotlights were all aimed at them, and some even sighed.
Normally, Lu Aicao doesn't like people taking pictures of her, but in this situation, she had to maintain that impeccable smile in the cold weather , and then walked into the club gracefully with the arm of the handsome Le Chengyu beside her.
This is the first round, she can't lose.
Today, Yang Xingxue wore a gold-plated evening gown and tied her hair up high, looking like a noble white swan. She held Jing Zhuoran's arm and came over to greet him excitedly the moment she saw Lv Aicao.
Unlike Yang Xingxue, Jing Zhuoran, who had the nerves of a man, was stunned by Lu Aicao the moment he saw her, just as Le Chengyu had expected.
"I thought you would wear the same sister outfit as me!" Yang Xingxue paid attention to her outfit and could tell at a glance that everything she was wearing was very expensive.
"Oh, that dress, I tried it, the size is not right." Lv Aicao smiled faintly. When Le You saw the dress, he said frankly that it must have been chosen by Shen Ping, and she must want her daughter to be the most dazzling star. Therefore, Le Chengyu bought her the dress without hesitation.
As expected, Shen Ping, who saw Lv Aicao at the side, showed an extremely unhappy expression. And some businessmen at the party were eager to make a move when they saw Le Chengyu.
Lu Aicao never thought about finding out Le Chengyu's identity, but his behavior and other people's attitude towards him showed that he was not simple. But Aicao didn't care. She liked this boy who made her feel warm as the sun at first sight, not his family background or status. Maybe she was the same as her mother in this respect.
Lu Aicao squeezed Le Chengyu's hand.
Le Chengyu understood and generously put his arm around her waist, saying to the crowd that was swarming over him, "I'm sorry, my girlfriend is feeling a little unwell. I'll take her over to rest first."
As they were talking, Le Chengyu pulled her to sit in the first row of the audience.
Yang Jianye saw her coming and came over to talk happily. Lu Aicao didn't really want to communicate with him, so she said a few words briefly on the grounds of feeling uncomfortable. Yang Jianye was a little embarrassed, but fortunately Le Chengyu gave him enough face.
After sitting for about five minutes, the long-awaited cocktail party officially began.
Shen Ping and Yang Xingxue also sat next to Lv Aicao. In everyone's eyes, they were like a family, but Lv Aicao's disgust had already reached its peak.
Yang Jianye, who was the first to go on stage, said a lot, nothing more than thanking the guests for coming and some welcome speeches, but Lu Aicao hardly listened. Then Jing Zhuoran and Yang Xingxue went on stage, the two of them sang in unison, and the lines they said seemed to have been memorized.
But what does it matter? Isn’t this the kind of hypocritical and harmonious family that everyone wants to see?
After a while, Yang Jianye finally mentioned Lu Aicao.
When she read out the name that everyone had been waiting for, the whole audience fell silent, and everyone's eyes and cameras were focused on her. At this moment, she seemed to be wearing a halo. With Yang Xingxue's help, she slowly walked onto the stage.
"The person I'm going to introduce next is the protagonist of this cocktail party. Her name is Lv Aicao, and she's the goddaughter I'm going to adopt today." Yang Jianye, who was always calm and composed, was also indescribably excited at this moment, but only Lv Aicao knew why he was so excited.
"Aicao and the Yang family have a great affinity. I met her because she saved Xingxue. Later, I learned that she was the daughter of a very good high school classmate of mine, and I felt even closer to her. But she had a hard life since she was a child, and her family suddenly encountered misfortune. When I was young, Aicao's mother helped me a lot, and now as an uncle, I should take good care of her daughter for my friend who has passed away."
Hearing this, Lu Aicao gave an inadvertent sneer.
Help? Helping you to have a daughter is also considered helping?
"After thinking for a long time, I decided to adopt her as my goddaughter so that she can get better care. Here, I would like to thank my daughter, wife and future son-in-law for their support. It is also because of them that I was able to make this decision smoothly." Yang Jianye looked at the perfect couple standing next to him with satisfaction.
The audience burst into applause. Yang Jianye's reputation as a philanthropist had long been known far and wide, so his adoption of his friend's daughter did not seem strange to anyone.
Looking at this happy family, the host followed the procedure, handed the microphone to Lu Aicao and pulled her to the center of the stage.
At this moment, Le Chengyu and Lu Aicao held their breath together.
Everyone looked at the girl expectantly. After all, she was the one who had effortlessly risen to the top and turned into a phoenix.
However, no one expected that what happened next would be the scalpel that cut open the truth.
"Hello, guests and reporters, my name is Lv Aicao." Lv Aicao said calmly and fearlessly, "I am the daughter of Mr. Yang's high school classmate."
As soon as the three words "Mr. Yang" came out, Yang Jianye's expression changed a little, and the people in the audience were also a little surprised.
"But do you want to know what happened to this high school classmate?" Lv Aicao held the microphone steadily. "Speaking of which, the name of this high school classmate is Lv Ruoping, and she is my mother. When Mr. Yang was young, he was indeed taken care of by my mother. When he failed in his career and his wife was not around, my mother put aside her studies and lived with him to take care of him. After being discovered by the university counselor, she dropped out of school for him."
"Aicao, what nonsense are you talking about!" Yang Jianye realized that something was wrong and scolded in a low voice, while Yang Xingxue and the others looked confused.
"You know whether I am talking nonsense or not! You also know why you adopted me!" Lu Aicao said this loudly without fear, and her cold voice echoed throughout the venue.
The people in the audience immediately started talking, but no one came up to stop her because Le Chengyu had already arranged for someone to take away all the bodyguards of the Yang family.
Shen Ping, who was watching all this coldly from the audience, was extremely shocked because she had never known what Lu Aicao was talking about.
"What did you say before? You want to give me a share of the inheritance? That's too good of you to a goddaughter! But it doesn't matter. I'm not your goddaughter, because I'm your biological daughter, so you won't think there's anything wrong with it!"
"Lu Aicao!" Yang Jianye was so angry that his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Yang Xingxue and Jing Zhuoran supported him immediately. Jing Zhuoran felt something was wrong and called for help immediately, but no one came.
There was already a lot of discussion in the audience, and some reporters even took the opportunity to rush to the front and take pictures. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
"You were already married, but you cheated on my mother. My mother didn't know you were married until she became pregnant, so she chose to leave quietly and gave birth to me. And what about you? What did you give her? You are a hypocritical philanthropist, what did you do to the woman who was pregnant with your child? Cheating, concealing, using, abandoning! What gives you the right to stand here and pretend that nothing happened?"
"Enough, Lu Aicao, stop talking!" Jing Zhuoran couldn't help but rush forward to grab the microphone, but was locked tightly by Le Chengyu who rushed over.
"And you, Jing Zhuoran, what qualifications do you have to order me around! Just a few months ago, you killed my mother and fled, how can you still stand here with a clear conscience!"
The moment the words fell, the entire venue erupted in a noisy discussion, and everyone was shocked. Yang Xingxue was so frightened that her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.
"You hit my mother to death, and you think you can get away with it by finding a scapegoat? But I tell you, it's impossible!" As she said that, Lu Aicao pulled out the photos and evidence from her bag and threw them hard at Jing Zhuoran.
Jing Zhuoran was completely frightened. All the scattered fragments in his mind were connected together, and he finally understood why Lu Aicao had such a fickle attitude towards him.
He looked at her, the fear in his eyes magnified infinitely, and there was an unstoppable roar in his head. He suddenly felt that everything was over.
At this moment, Shen Ping rushed up, grabbed Lv Aicao's shoulders and tried to pull her off the stage. She didn't like this cocktail party, but she couldn't let Lv Aicao ruin this cocktail party and ruin their happy family!
But she never expected that Lu Aicao would easily shake her off.
"Shen Ping, and you, you found two men to kill me before. If it weren't for this handle, how could your husband think of taking me in as his goddaughter?"
"You're talking nonsense! Don't believe her!" Shen Ping's emotions were out of control. She cursed Lu Aicao loudly and wanted to hit her.
The people Le Chengyu had found earlier rushed over at this time and held Shen Ping tightly. The guests gathered tightly around the stage, but no one stepped forward to stop them.
"This is the face of the Yang family." Lu Aicao took a deep breath, "This is also the reason why I am standing here today."
She gently put down the phone, her eyes moist.
"Lu Aicao, you are such a heartless person, you will go to hell!" Shen Ping shouted at the top of her lungs.
Lv Aicao lifted her skirt and walked off the stage silently. She turned around with an extremely sharp sneer on her face: "You are wrong, I crawled back from hell. The purpose of my return is to drag all of you down to hell!"
"Just wait, I won't let you go! I won't!"
"You have no chance. The police are coming." After saying this, she took out a copy of Yang Jianye's company's false accounting documents from her pocket and threw them at her. "Regarding the suspected false accounting of the Yang Group and the poor quality of the group's products, I have already called the police. The police will be here soon."
Then, she turned around and said to everyone, "If any of the guests here are willing to help, please come over. But you must consider carefully whether people like the Yang family are worth helping."
This sentence was like a fatal threat, causing those wealthy businessmen who were originally calling to look for someone to stop what they were doing, while some simply turned around and walked away as if it had nothing to do with them.
At this moment, a group of police officers in uniform pushed open the door and rushed in, causing the guests, who were originally scattering in a panic, to scatter in all directions.
There was a sudden chaos on the stage; some were crying, some were shouting, and some were yelling.
Lu Aicao stood there indifferently, watching all this quietly.
Le Chengyu walked off the stage and firmly supported Lu Aicao, who was a little unsteady on her feet.
"It's all over," he said softly.
"Yeah." She wanted to cry, but couldn't.
In the chaos of the crowd, Lu Aicao finally turned his head and looked at Yang Jianye, who was sitting on the ground with despair in his eyes. He looked very uncomfortable. As if he felt Ai Cao's gaze, he looked over through the chaotic crowd and moved his lips, but no one knew what he was saying.
There was an inexplicable, sharp pain in her heart that was running around, mixing into Lv Ai Cao's cells, bone marrow, and blood. She couldn't stop the pain, so she could only choose to leave quietly.
Father.
She called him silently in her heart.
This is your sin, you must pay for it.
