I Love My Family But They Abandoned Me
Prepare a gift
Narrator
When Leticia arrived at the Leroy residence and entered her room, Mary, who was cleaning the room, greeted her with a happy face. But that was short-lived. As soon as she saw the blood on Leticia’s hands, she froze.
Mary
Miss, did you hurt yourself?
Narrator
Leticia, who was confused for a moment, looked down at her hand and sighed. It seemed like she got blood on her hand when she used the handkerchief on the man’s injured hand.
Mary
How did you get injured? Please be careful.
Narrator
Before Leticia knew it, Mary had brought a towel and wiped her hands. Not wanting to make Mary worry any longer, Leticia spoke quickly.
Leticia Leroy
It’s not my blood.
Narrator
Mary looked at Leticia with curious eyes, then Leticia explained the story briefly. After listening to the story, Mary heaved a long sigh of relief.
Mary
I was worried that you were hurt. I’ll wash the handkerchief.
Narrator
Leticia scratched her head with a troubled expression, and then a low voice echoed in her ears.
Leticia Leroy
[It will get blood on it.]
Narrator
She remembered the man who cherished the ugly handkerchief which had a lot of stitches sticking out.
Narrator
Unlike his cold impression as if he was standing alone on an icy lake blooming in the middle of winter, he was kind and sensitive.
Narrator
Leticia’s heart felt warm somehow, and she said with a faint smile.
Leticia Leroy
I gave it to someone who needed it.
Mary
Wasn’t it your prized handkerchief, Miss?
Narrator
Mary’s eyes widened as she asked the question, but Leticia couldn’t say that she had taken the wrong handkerchief.
Leticia Leroy
Don’t worry. There’s another one.
Mary
I’m glad you said that.
Leticia Leroy
Anyway, I’ll have to prepare a gift for Diana in advance.
Leticia Leroy
You want to know?
Narrator
Mary waited for Leticia’s reply with a twinkle in her eyes. But Leticia only smiled.
Leticia Leroy
It’s a secret.
