Mom

"Why are you here?"

Begonia is really shocked that when she finds Celeste is the guy who stands in front of the RV door.

And his aggrieved eye makes Begonia so sorry!

But in the very next second, Begonia's face is getting red.

Look, Celeste's impact causes Begonia's feet, which is standing on the edge of the stairs, to shift, and it seems that she is about to sprain her ankle again.

Awkwardly, Begonia's left arm is held by Simon who is standing in the car, and her right arm is supported by Celeste who steps forward and holds her waist.

Although her body is stabilized, she is in a situation where there are two men on both sides!

Begonia simply wants to dig a hole and buries herself!

"Begonia, aren't you going to deliver the meal? I'll be waiting for you in the car!"

Simon, who has actually been planning to retreat, changes his idea immediately. When he sees the man at the door, a man's competetion attitude grows up!

"You go ahead!"

Begonia is ticklish, and Celeste knows her problem, so he does it on purpose when he withdrew his hands from her waist.

It is like a little revenge because of Simon.

Sure enough, Begonia trembles slightly.

"I'll wait for you here!" Celeste takes a step back!

Begonia finds her no-reason embarrassing is so nosence, since she has nothing to do with Simon!

Maybe Celeste's eye pressure says wordless worry.

Begonia doesn't know how she ends up in the hospital until Elaine takes the lunch box and asks her if she is sick and why her face is so red, and then Begonia finnaly finds back her sense!

Elaine opens the lunch box. The soup is naturally for Sophie. It is stewed with chicken legs. It is just right for Sophie to drink some liquid food to supplement her nutrition.

Then what?

Elaine is holding an empty lunch box with a question mark on her face!

Only then does Begonia realize that she has only packed Sophie's chicken soup and an empty box in her hand, which should originately be full of fried rice!

Begonia pats her head and it must have been left in the RV!

Begonia hesitates for a long time to explain, but couldn't say why she does such a stupid thing. Elaine looks puzzled and says, "Do you work too hard today? It's all my fault. How about you sitting for a while and I'll get it from the car?"

"Begonia, do you want to have a stomachache by not eating on time?"

Begonia's model-like ex-boyfriend shows in front of the door and there is a familiar lunch box in his hand.

There is another hansome face drumps out of Celeste's back.

Elaine is out of situation when the guy says hi to her.

"This is Simon. The project of Yamamoto Masato's exhibition project is by his introduce and ..." Begonia is afraid that Simon would talk nonsense, so she takes the introduce first.

"Oh my God, we will coopperate with Yamamoto Group? Begonia, you are not joking with me? Are you?"

Elaine defenately forget who is Simon, she is so lighted that a new project meaning money and especially such a big project.

She really needs this good news to inspires the sad mood.

"Simon! Thank you so much!" Elaine gives Simon a big smile as Begonia introduced that he is the link to this project.

There are four people standing in the ordinary ward where Sopie is staying, and Begonia has to move back a step to make some space for Elaine to shakes hans with Simon.

The beds are separated by curtains.

Begonia feels as if she has accidentally bumped into the person pulling the curtain, and sure enough, the curtain is pulled open!

"Why are you guys pushing so hard? Be careful, there is old people over here!"

A middle-aged man says unhappily.

Begonia wants to apologize, but when she notices the old woman lying on the bed, both Begonia and the old woman on the bed are stunned!

Before anyone could react, the old woman suddenly grabs the hot noodle soup that her family has brought and placed on the bedside table and throws it all over Begonia's face!

Celeste reacts and tries to block it, but who knows that the old woman would suddenly attack, and Begonia's face has already turned red from being scalded by the hot soup.

"you..."

Begonia can't dare to open her eyes, but she grabs Celeste who is about to step forward based on her intuition.

However, the old lady who starts the fight first refuses to give up and rushes over to push and hit Begonia.

Elaine also reacts at this time and stuffs the tissue into Begonia's hand and tries to stop the old lady's attact.

"Don't move!" It is the first time that Celeste hears Begonia's voice so calm and even crazy. For a moment, even the old lady who beats people is stunned!

Begonia endures the pain and wipes hier eyes.

"I owe her this, please leave us alone! Please... leve me alone! Elaine, keep an eye on your sister!And sent these two away!"

What does Begonia mean when she says she ows her?

The question makes Celeste and Simon both very confused.

But the old lady on the bed understands it.

"You owe me, why did you cheat us out of our money! It was because of you that our old man jumped off the building! What are you still standing there for? Beat her up! You unfilial son, she is the murderer who forced your father to death! Oh, God! You are blind! I will not live anymore! I will beat you to death and pay for your life! Who will pay for my old man's life!"

The ward is suddenly in chaos. The old lady's son steps forward. How could Celeste just ignore him? He stops him half a step!

Unexpectedly, this unfriendly-looking son speaks clearly.

"I'm not here to hit anyone. It's not her who lied, it's her father. I heard the trial! My mother is so traumatized! I don't expect to meet her here! Please move to another ward! It would be better for both of us."

The old lady over there is still yelling. She beats Begonia a few times and seems to be unable to breathe, gasping for breath. The old lady's son hurriedly helps her lying down and presses the emergency call bell.

The doctor come in and pulls the curtains on both sides!

"Begonia..."

Begonia is alone facing the curtain, exhausted like an ice sculpture that is about to break. Even a slight blow from others could be a huge blow to her.

"Leave! I beg you!"

The small ward is obviously full of people, but Celeste feels that Begonia is standing on the edge of a cliff, about to fall!

His Begonia should be the one standing under the spotlight and being cared for, why did she turn out like this!

What did Begonia's father do!

For the first time, Celeste feels that he might not care enough about Begonia. When he is indulging in the idea of being betrayed, did his Begonia suffer undue hardships, while he is only concerned with licking his wounds self-righteously from afar, forgetting that the one who hurt others might be in more pain?

Celeste stretchs out his hand as if he wants to see Begonia in his eyes, but in the end he clenches it tightly into a fist. After looking at Begonia again, he turns and leaves.

Celeste understand that he has to find out what happened to Begonia during the years he is away!

Simon looks at Celeste who is leaving, and then looks at Begonia who is silent.

Finally, he nods to Elaine and leaves, too.

It is so quiet near by the bed that it seems as if no one was there. Since eventhough Elaine is so worried about Begonia but her mood makes Elaine can say nothing.

Because there is no words can comfort Begonia.

"Take your sister to dinner!"

After a long time, Begonia wipes the stains off her body stiffly like a robot that slowly regains its instincts.

"Where are you going?" Elaine is a little worried and stops Begonia who is walking out with her head down.

"It's okay!" Despite being stiff, Begonia is still able to move the corners of her mouth, as if she wants to smile in a reassuring way.

"I'm going to see mom! You don't have to wait for me tonight!"

On the streets at night, Begonia wanders like a zombie.

Bus, subway, then walk.

Along the way, under the street lights there are people, different people.

There are families of three, couples, and lonely people like Begonia.

Begonia nods numbly at the guard's surprised look, and finally arrives at the place closest to his mother before midnight.

The mother, who used to care most about her appearance and dressed herself and Begonia up exquisitely and beautifully every day, now opened her eyes with a sweet smile on her face.

"John, you're back!"

John is the name of Begonia's father.

Once upon a time, every day, her mother would stand at the door of the villa to welcome her father home, with the same greeting.

However, hearing this again is a nightmare now.

Begonia is shaking uncontrollably and wants to scream!

Wake up this stupid woman who is still immersed in her own world and refuses to wake up!

John abandoned them!

John will never come back!

The man you are waiting for is a liar!

He deceived you and deceived everyone!

He says he loves you, but he treats you as the legal person of the company!

He said he loved you, but he took away all the money he raised for the investment company!

He said he loved you, but he only left you with a debt of 200 million!

Why are you still waiting for him!

Can you open your eyes and look at your daughter!

Begonia couldn't utter a word, because no matter how hard she tried, her mother is immersed in her own world.

Maybe in that world, Mom is still the beloved wife of John, still the lightening center among the noble ladies, and still the perfect her who is envied by everyone!

If she is woken up to this cruel world, she would have nothing. She would be laughed at, filled with frustration, guilt and anger at being betrayed. Perhaps, immersing herself in her own world is her only salvation.

In that world, is there also a Begonia who can snuggle in her lap and be her shining little princess!

Begonia curles up on the edge of the bed, gently pressing against his mother's hand. In this cold night, even her mother's hand could not warm Begonia's frozen cheeks!

Begonia just leans on her mother, and the two of them stay awake until dawn!

The sun rises again, and Begonia finally gets up again.

She uses cold water to clean herself up in front of the mirror, but her smile is too ugly. Begonia gently pushs the muscles at the corners of her mouth with her hands, imitating her mother's appearance...

Smile, my daughter is as beautiful as the Begonia flower!

Smile!

It's a new day again!
