Chapter 43 Once 2

```

Once burned and so exhausted her tiny arms couldn't be lifted, those hardships didn't frighten her when she was just a little bean. What she feared most was her mom disappearing without a trace. She would panic and rush to find her, often discovering her on the rooftop or by the river. At first, she didn't understand until one night her mom cut her wrist with a knife. Blood stained half the bed sheet. She cried and knocked on the neighbor's door. Only after the neighbor helped send her mom to the hospital did she realize that her mom's illness led to attempts at suicide.
