Love's Unexpected Journey

Yuri Young's fingertips, which were holding the report, turned slightly pale. She took a deep breath and walked into the villa with difficulty. A familiar burst of laughter came from the villa.

"Linda is amazing. She won first place again."

"Of course, she is my daughter. How can she not be great?"

"It's Linda's birthday today. I bought a cake. Shall we celebrate it together?"

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

The family was happy, but when everyone's eyes fell on Yuri, who was walking in, they suddenly stopped talking.

Yuri's mother, Lily York, said with a gloomy face, "Yuri is back. Please show me your report."

"No need. She must be the last one again."

Yuri's stepfather, Quincy Johnson, sneered disdainfully. He was very unhappy with the daughter brought by his wife and had never liked her.

Yuri compressed her lips. She had been watching the scene which made her unpleasant for eight years.

Eight years ago, her mother married Quincy. Since then, she had become an extra person.

They were a family, while she was just an outsider living here.

Yuri also wanted to try her best to surpass Linda Johnson, but she had a mental disorder and couldn't concentrate.

In this way, she couldn't surpass Linda at all.

"Mom, Dad, don't blame Yuri. She doesn't have a good foundation, so it's normal for her to have poor grades."

Linda smiled and held Lily's arm. "In fact, Yuri is also very hard-working."

Yuri came back to review every day, but it was in vain.

"Let me have a look."

Lily's expression eased up a lot, but she grabbed the report in Yuri's hand.

As expected, she was the last one.

Lily was so angry that she felt humiliated, especially when she saw the disdain in Quincy's eyes.

In a fit of anger, she slapped Yuri hard in the face.

"Are you trying to piss me off to death?!!!"

Lily regretted giving birth to Yuri countless times. Why couldn't she give birth to a daughter who was so obedient and capable like Linda?

"Mom, don't be angry."

Linda stepped forward and grabbed Lily, winking at Yuri hypocritically.

"Yuri, go back to your room first."

Yuri lowered her head. When she turned around, a teardrop fell. It was the same every time.

Her mother always hit her for no reason. The person who should be closest to her in the world never knew that she was suffering from a mental disorder.

Her mother had never known that she had almost been depressed at home.

Yuri stepped on the stairs with difficulty, and she could still hear Quincy's disdainful voice.

"It's useless to hit her. She will still be the last next time. Our Linda is so great. She works hard, is obedient, and looks good."

"Dad!"

Linda's voice was gentle, like a spoiled girl, which made Lily feel much better.

"Today is your birthday. I'll get you a cake and a gift."

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

Her voice was sweet, but it stabbed into Yuri's heart like a knife.

In fact, today... was also her birthday.

Yuri's feet seemed to be filled with lead. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't take a step forward. She grabbed her arm tightly.

The pain pulled her back to reality, and Yuri returned to her small room with tears all over her face.

There was a suitcase in the corner, which Yuri had prepared a long time ago. She was ready to leave this home at any time.

Today, she was finally an adult and no longer had to stay here because of her age.

Yuri tried her best to wipe away her tears, but for some reason, her tears flowed like a stream.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't wipe it clean. She wiped her face and felt the pain. In the end, she couldn't help crying.

"Daddy, I miss you so much..."
