Chapter 248: Chapter 249

Chapter 249 The car drove north from the bustling downtown area and gradually entered the chaotic north.

The buildings on both sides gradually transitioned from peculiar shapes to dilapidated low–rise structures. Thea felt that the scenery on both sides became more and more familiar, more and more familiar.

She looked at Ava suspiciously and asked, “Ava, how did you know about this place?”

Ava smiled shyly at her sister and said, “Sister, you will soon know all the mysteries in your heart.”

Thea sighed, “Playing mysterious.

I leaned back against the seat of the car and closed my eyes to rest.

It’s really strange. Over there, the sky is still clear, but after crossing half of the city, it’s pouring rain on this side.

“Sister, it’s raining,” Ava parked the car at the spot Theo –

instructed her to the square by Rainbow Bridge. She looked at the land covered by a curtain of rain, and the surroundings turned into a hazy smoky color. Ava was particularly worried, it seemed like she would have to make a wasted trip.

Thea opened her eyes and looked out through the foggy scenery outside the car window.

0.002 Chapter 249 288 Mouch She saw Rainbow Bridge through the rain curtain.

This place was too familiar to her and it was filled with many, many tragic memories from her childhood.

“Ava, why did you bring me here? Thea’s voice was slightly chilly.

She didn’t like it here, as it recorded her unhappy childhood.

Every scenery here reminded her that she was an unloved abandoned child.

Ava blinked her innocent eyes and said, “Sister, I didn’t know it would rain...”

It rained, so my sister probably couldn’t find that place...

Thea. “...”

What does this have to do with the rain?

Thea was leaning on the car window, quietly gazing at the bridge, the streets, and the square outside.

The past seems to flash through my mind like a passing scenery.

She remembered when she was just a child, her mother chasing her down the street with a whip, saying, “Isabella, you bring bad luck. Why did I even bother raising you? Do you know that because of you, I got divorced?”

“You owe me in this lifetime, and you must repay me. You have to take care of me in your entire life.”

14.845 Chapter 240 12 “You went out to beg for food, if you couldn’t find anything to eat and came back, you were not allowed to enter the house.”

Thea’s tears welled up.

She admired her younger self for hot being crushed by her mother’s oppression in adversity, but instead blooming into a resilient flower.

The scene changed, and the little girl came to Rainbow Bridge holding a bowl of rice. She timidly sat next to an old beggar woman. The woman saw her and said, “Heavens, how could someone as young as you become a beggar? I am a disgraceful descendant, and my own children refuse to support me. You, a beautiful and delicate young girl, how could your parents bear to let you beg for food?”

Although she was young at that time, she had a delicate and transparent heart. She didn’t want anyone to know that she was a poor child without parents‘ love, so she smiled and lied, “Grandmother, I deliberately came out to experience life.”

The mother–in–law believed her nonsense and kindly taught her how to deceive people and make money by pretending to be pitiful. Although she learned the mother–in–law’s secret techniques, she always felt embarrassed and couldn’t shout and deceive people for money. In the end, she learned a new skill there: picking up mineral water bottles to sell.

The dirty–faced child, crossed from one street to another, with a bunch of bottles hanging on his shoulder, but a satisfied smile on his face.

I earned money and happily brought it home, boasting to my mother, “Mom, I can earn money now.”

15.35 Chapter 249 288 Nouchers Madam Moore, on the other hand, rolled her eyes at her and was never satisfied with her income. “Is this all? Keep going.”

Thea thought about these past events and felt her throat constricting.

Ava deceived her, no one loved her.

No one has ever loved her.

She pushed open the window and let the oxygen rush in.

The rainwater also seeped into her clothes.

Ava looked at her sister anxiously and asked, “Sister, what’s wrong with you?”

Thea reached out her hand to stop her from speaking, and she stomped her foot in frustration. Getting out of the car, she stumbled forward in the rain, and ahead of her were some steps. She tripped and fell to the ground.

In a sorry state.

She remembered in her mind the somersault she had fallen off at Rainbow Bridge when she was young. With too many mineral water bottles hanging, she stumbled and fell while walking, always tripping her up. But she would get up and continue walking with a smile.

She was chased by other beggars because she had stolen the – mineral water bottles from their territory. As a result, she developed the superpower of long–distance running, although she had also fallen countless times.

She has always been strong, and there was no time she fell 15:35 Chapter 240 1205 Vouchers down that could make her cry.

However, there was one time in her memory when she fell, and it was the most fearful, embarrassing, and heart–stopping experience for her.

That time, she encountered a child who was just as unfortunate as her. He had been kidnapped by human traffickers and they had starved him to the point of being pale and emaciated. Then, they disguised him as a beggar and abandoned him here.

She could tell at a glance that the child was not a real beggar because his eyes were too beautiful. They were like the morning star in the sky, able to bring light to others even in the darkness.

So she stole him under the surveillance of the human trafficker, and she ran frantically with him on her back. However, she was also thin, unable to eat enough or dress warmly. She hadn’t taken a few steps with him on her back when she fell flat on her face.

But she knew that the traffickers would track her, so she dared not stay, running around in the streets and alleys, finally managing to shake them off...

Thea’s eyes gradually shot out a hint of confusion.

She seemed to have sensed something.

After thinking for a while, she finally had an epiphany: it was in this place that she found that child.

She named him Theodore.

She raised Theodore for a year, who was unbelievably beautiful 65.09%

15 35 Chapter 249 1288 Vouche and incredibly intelligent for a child.

Unfortunately, he suddenly disappeared one day.

Ah.

All feasts come to an end.

Thea has always been open–minded about reunions and separations. Subconsciously, she still longs for the possibility of seeing Theodore again in her lifetime.

At least I knew if he was doing well, right?

She crawled up in a disheveled manner...

Ava walked over, holding an umbrella, with a worried expression on her face.

“Sister, you are not feeling well. Don’t get wet in the rain.” She held the umbrella over, covering most of it for her.

“It was hard for you. Ava was kind to her, and Thea felt touched.

She added, “Theodore giving me such a good subordinate like you is truly the best gift I have ever received in my life...”

When she said this, it seemed like she thought of something, and her face gradually froze.

Theodore?

Theodore?

They all had unbelievably beautiful eyes.

15 35 m Chapter 249 They all unconditionally relied on her and trusted her.

So, they were clearly the same person?

1288 Vouchers Thea suddenly brightened up, realizing that the person Ava was referring to, who lived for her and valued her life more than his own, was Theo.

Thea stumbled back into the car, looking completely dazed. In her mind, the jumbled and chaotic images of her time spent with Theo slowly began to make sense.
