Chapter 1

My mother’s name is Caroline, and she is naturally beautiful. Her marriage with my father was arranged by the parents and the matchmaker, and there was no such thing as falling in love before getting married as in today’s society. But when my father passed away, my mother was still sad for a long time. Fortunately, my mother is very strong. After my father’s death, she has been living with me alone, supporting my studies and taking care of me. Although many people approached my mother to introduce her to a new partner, she refused with me as an excuse. I was still young and didn’t understand much at the time, but I still hoped that my mother would not get married again, just because I didn’t want to suddenly have an unknown outsider in the family. This is my personality. I can talk about everything with people I am familiar with, but I am very resistant to communicating with unfamiliar strangers.

In school, I have excellent academic performance, but my personality is too introverted. Most of the time, I study alone. Fortunately, I am very talented and smart in learning. I can be very good without spending too much time studying. Perhaps this is the talent God gave me. As for my father, I have a very plain impression of him. He is honest and loyal, but he often drinks. When the accident happened, it was because he drank too much. If he didn’t drink at that time, he would not have lost his life. After my mother took me to the city, she rented a bungalow with two bedrooms, east and west, and then the kitchen. The toilet was a pit-type toilet in the countryside. However, after moving to the city, I found a strange thing, because I didn’t know what my mother did specifically, but the conditions of my family were improving little by little. When I first arrived in the county, my mother worked in a pharmacy as a salesperson and also learned some medicine and medical knowledge. It was just because the working hours were not fixed and she couldn’t take care of me, so my mother resigned after earning a little money. After that, my mother started doing this “mysterious” job.
