Daisie was too well protected and didn’t understand how the world worked.
She wanted to give Lisa the best gifts because she wanted her to be confident, but confidence couldn’t
be boosted with material goods.
People weren’t born greedy.
If they got things they wanted without putting in any effort too often, that was when greed started
growing.
Thus, Daisie was naive.
"what should I do then?"
Daisie suddenly realized that she had given Lisa a terrible burden.
Maisie smiled and stood up.
"Change before it’s too late."
On the other side, in the suburbs...
Lisa wandered around and only got home when it was late.
The door opened when she was putting her keys on the door lock.
She curiously pushed the door open and went in.
"Dad, Mom, I’m home."
She took off her shoes and shouted, but there was no reply.She walked in and placed her bag on the
couch.
She suddenly heard a noise from the kitchen, so she walked over, but when she stood at the door, she
saw her mother lying in a pool of blood.
Lisa froze, and her face slowly turned pale.
"Mom—"
When the ambulance got there, the neighbors stood around and watched while the paramedics put her
mother in the back while Mr.Fraiser rushed home.
"They’re so unlucky to have an *sshole of ason."
"Exactly.Not only did their son not give them money, but he also tried to take her life."
"That’s why I saw the kid run out after an argument.That’s such a horrible thing to happen."
Mr.Fraiser didn’t let Lisa follow along because she had school tomorrow and got her to wait at home.
Lisa stood there and listened to her neighbor’s discussion, her expression bleak while she watched the
ambulance drive away.
She then sat on the couch in their empty living room and stared at the family photo next to the
television.Her brother was in it.
However, her brother slowly started changing when she was in elementary school.
He didn’t care for her anymore and started losing his temper and did nothing all day.
Why did she have to go through all this? Why did she have to suffer? Why?
"Can’t you just work harder?"
"Don’t bother me.I know you have a rich friend.These are all from her, right?"
"A chicken will always be a chicken even if it hangs out with a phoenix."
"Who could you blame for your misfortune? Blame that little Ms.Goldmann.She would have other
friends even if you died, but you would only be the friend that she left."
Lisa’s hands that were on her lap curled into fists.
The hurtful words still rang in her ears and attacked her.
She covered her ears, but they went on and on.
Lisa took a week off from school, but nobody knew why.
Daisie sat in the classroom doing her homework when she heard a few classmates discussing.
"Is it Lisa from the other class?"
Daisie’s hand paused, and she slowly looked up.
The voice continued behind her.
"Yes, I heard that her mother passed away.That’s so sad."
Daisie turned to look at them, making them realize that Daisie and Lisa were best friends, so they
scattered and stopped talking.
After school, Daisie went to speak to a teacher from the other class and asked about Lisa.
The teacher knew they were close, so she told her, "Her mother passed away, and she has taken some
time off from school."
