Chapter 58: Journey

[Adele's POV]

I was so alone, but I found light in something or, more precisely, someone. He came like a wind and swept all my problems which I am eternally grateful for.

Like when he protected me from the bullies tormenting me, he was the same age as me but displayed immense courage in the face of danger and protected a complete stranger, even risking his life. When one of them pulled out the knife scared me to death, I feared for the worse, but he pulled through and taught them a lesson.

That incident made me realise how much I like living. How much I loved my family, who are always there throughout thick and thin, and I should also gain some much-needed courage to face it head-on. He gave me that courage. The courage to come clean to my family and stop neglecting them in fear they would abandon me.
