Where Did Everything Go Wrong?
Rosalie looked in the direction he pointed, only to see the little girl curled up in the corner with her
knees tucked in. Her eyes were empty, like a delicate doll without a soul.
Thinking of the little girl‘s sweet smile every time she saw her, Rosalie‘s heartbreak felt physical. She
could not breathe. This morning, the little girl was still holding her skirt with bright eyes, but now, her
gaze had become like this…
Rosalie walked into the room carefully, squatted down in front of the little girl, and softly called out her
name, “Estie, Aunt‘s here.”
Little Estie did not respond at all.
Seeing the little girl like this, Rosalie could not make a sound for a while.
Lucas reminded in a low voice behind her. “Miss Jacobs, Estie has now closed her heart and isolated
herself completely from the outside world. You have to communicate with her more so that you can
bring her out of this. Be patient.”
Hearing this, Rosalie tried hard to calm down. She nodded silently and started talking to Estie.
“Estie, I came to see you and brought the brothers too. Look, we‘re all here!”
The two little boys hurried over. Nox made a silly face at Estie as always. “I‘m here to see you. Come
on! Don‘t be a crybaby, okay!” Lucian frowned worriedly and looked into Estie‘s eyes. “Just daydream
for a while, but not too long, okay? Then we‘ll play, okay?” In the past, whenever Estie heard the boys
say this, she would have broken into a huge smile.
However, this time, the little girl seemed far away as she sat unchanging in the same place. The glee
on Nox‘s face slowly faded, and the corners of his mouth downturned. “Talk to us. Are you unhappy
because we didn‘t go to school? I promise you, my brother and I will soon be back in school with you.
We‘ll take you everywhere in the future. We‘ll always be there to play with you, okay?”
Nox was flustered. “If you keep ignoring us, we won‘t play with you!” Little Estie still did not respond.
The two little boys sniffed and changed their methods again. They continued to talk gibberish to Little
Estie. They even talked about their day at Movie World City, promising that when she got better, they
would take her along the next time. They spoke until their mouths ran dry, but Little Estie just sat like
that without shifting her eyes.
The two little boys‘ eyes welled up and turned red. They turned their heads and tugged on Rosalie‘s
sleeves. “Mommy, Little Sister doesn‘t seem to hear us. What should we do…”
The two little boys choked as they spoke. Rosalie‘s eves were also slightly red, but she still forced
herself to remain calm. She rubbed the heads of the two little boys soothingly. “She‘ll get better. Go on
and rest for a while. I‘ll talk to her for a bit.” The two boys bit their lips hard. Not wanting to cry in front of
their little sister, they quietly retreated behind Mommy.
Rosalie carefully reached out and carried Little Estie onto her lap. No matter if she could hear her, the
woman spoke to the little girl whatever came to her mind. Little Estie just allowed Rosalie to hold her as
she stayed motionless like a doll. Their interaction moved Byron‘s heart. He was even more convinced
that Rosalie was not aware that Estie was her biological daughter.
Otherwise, how could the person who cruelly abandoned the child be so gentle to her now? However, if
this is the case, what happened in between? Where did everything go wrong?
