Later, I came to understand that the pain in Robbie's mouth is not only physically, but also
psychologically sold out by his loved ones.
Robbie took the mobile phone out of his pocket and handed it back to me.
I looked at the phone and asked. "Why is it in your pocket?"
With his hands in his pockets, I knew that Robbie wanted to smoke.
But he glanced at me and bear it down.
"Someone saw your mother appeared near the Luo family yesterday, and then saw you and her left
together. Rosie said she couldn't get through to you, and she found you were not at home. So I went to
the place where your mother gambled last time and found her easily. "
"You should know that it's easy to get your mother to open her mouth,"
It's easy for Robbie to say that, but I know what his emergency means to me.
"Those policemen..."
"I called the police."
The word "thank you" was caught in my throat, not because I was reluctant to say it, but because I felt
it powerless and meaningless to say it in front of Robbie.
After that, Robbie went into the bathroom with a wet towel in his hand.
"Wipe your face."
I have never thought that a man like Robbie would stay and take care of an irrelevant person like me.
I wiped my face. While taking the towel, Robbie pulled my right hand and wiped it carefully.
"It's time for breakfast."
Robbie behaved so naturally that I didn't feel uncomfortable.
When his fingers ran across my fingers, I could feel that they were slightly rough.
I raised my head and looked at Robbie. It was the first time that I felt the usual indifference of him could
be so gentle.
Robbie gently put down my right hand. But when he saw my left hand that was so swollen like a
steamed bun, a glimmer of pity flashed in his eyes.
It was the second time I had breakfast with Robbie. We just had it in my ward.
He was still a man of few words. But from time to time, he would put some food into my bowl.
"The police will come here to do some notes with you later. Don't be afraid. They just need to know
something and you only need to answer honestly."
"Okay."
Robbie stopped holding the chopsticks and looked up at me. "They will ask you why you fell into such a
situation."
Robbie's eyes are very calm, as if he was reminding me of a fact.
But I can't calm down.
I admitted that I hated my mother so much on this matter. Although I can't forgive her this time no
matter how hard I tried. But before that, I have never thought about sending her to prison.
I cast a look at Robbie asking for help. "Then how should I answer them?"
I don't know how to lie to the police to hide the fact that my mother has bought me off.
But Robbie said to me firmly, "just tell them the truth."
I looked at Robbie doubtfully. He didn't avert his eyes. He looked at me with determination.
"Maybe you think it's immoral to send your mother into prison, but have you ever thought that even if
you let her go this time, will she regret what she did?"
"She will continue to gamble and squander money in that kind of place. When she is poor, she will
continue to exploited you and even sell you again. She has sold you once and twice. I believe you also
won't doubt that she will sell you for a third time."
"Indeed, prison is not a good place. But for her, it maybe not. If you agree, I can help her hire a lawyer.
The term will not be long, so I want to give her a lesson, which can be regarded as withdrawal from
gambling. "
If I made my first important decision to marry Rogelio by myself, then the second important decision in
my life was made by Robbie.
I had sent my mother, Faye into prison and sentenced to a year's imprisonment.
I visited my mother when she was convicted of the crime.
There was not a trace of guilt on her face when she looked at my wounded arm.
My mother pointed at me through the thick glass in the prison with handcuffs. "How can you be so cruel
to me? I'm your mother. How can you sue me? Now you are happy and proud to send your mother to
prison, aren't you? "
"I warn you, Jasmine. If you are able to do it, lock me here forever and don't let me out, or I will make
your life a living hell."
My mother glowered at me with hatred.
"You're a whore and nobody would raise you. You and Robbie were an adulterer and an adulterer. You
and him cheated on Robbie and Robbie fuck his sister-in-law..."
I gritted my teeth and shouted at her, "that's enough!"
My mother finally calmed down for a few seconds.
I took a deep breath and looked at my mother. "In those days, your left arm was broken on the way to
hospital. That was the only time I had felt that you were still a mother since I grew up."
"Now I have given my left arm back to you!"
"You said I'm ruthless, but have you ever considered me as your daughter? Every time I see other
people's mother, I think, why I don't have one? My mother can be poor. She can be not able to afford to
support me. Even she can be ill in bed and need me to serve her. As long as she loves me, she loves
me. "
I put my right hand on my chest to hold back my sadness and tears that were about to burst out of my
eyes.
"No, you have never loved me. You never know what love is, so you won't understand how much pain
I've been through."
My mother's eyes were still full of contempt.
Her eyes chilled my heart to the bottom.
I didn't want to let Faye see my tears. So I stood up and turned my head.
"I hope you can reflect on your mistakes and accept adversity in prison..."
While I walked outside, my mother jumped up from the chair and started to curse in my back. "Jasmine,
you shall die in agony. I curse you. Such a bitch like you deserve love? Let me tell you! It's impossible!
It's impossible for you to find someone love you for the rest of your life! I curse you that you will spend
the rest of your life lonely, living like a dog... "
My mother was taken away by the housekeeper and I stared at the empty seat.
Until today, I didn't know if my decision was right, but I know that the year without my mother was the
happiest time in my life.
That day was a turning point in my life. When I walked out of the prison, Robbie leaned against his car
and smoked quietly.
When Robbie saw me walk out of the prison, he threw the half cigarette on the ground and crushed it
out.
I remembered that he had said to me, "people only see the smile of a successful man. No one likes the
tears of the weak. If ruthless can save yourselves, just let the bystanders accuse, because no one will
suffer for you..."
