Bai Lu's Struggles

Bai Lu stood frozen in place as she read the letter. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. She had thought Li Na was only bluffing.

Looking up at her mother she saw that she was furious.

"How could you do this, Lu? How could you be so malicious? How could you ruin someone else's life, is this how I raised you? I am utterly disappointed in you" Her mother shook her head.

Bai Lu felt ashamed and scared. She didn't know what to say or do. She truly regretted her actions. 

Bai Lu clenched the paper in her hands, feeling the sharp edges digging into her palms. She stared at her mom with hurt in her eyes. 'Why are you yelling at me? I did it all for you guys. I sacrificed so much, and all I get is this?' She wanted to scream those words at her mother, but she bit her tongue, afraid of making things worse.
