Chapter 14 Wooden box and mother's letter
Every day that passes is meaningless to Phoebe, her world has crumbled and there is nothing left. Phoebe sprawled out on the bed, staring at the ceiling and thinking about the days when her mother had lived. The images of the thin mother always looking forward to her coming home from school, cooking her delicious and unique meals.
Tears of nostalgia poured down again, Phoebe's heart was screaming that she was really sad, her only loved one was gone forever, and she lived alone in this world.
God was really too unfair to her, took away her dear mother, making her now helpless and miserable, having to live days full of despair and gloom.
Phoebe was no longer interested in studying, her mother always wanted her to study well so that she could live a better life in the future, but her mother is no longer there, and studying is not necessary anymore. Her job is also retired.
Phoebe didn't send the school a call or a letter of resignation because she was sure they were happy now because the Vampires they had always despised, hated, and humiliated were no longer at the school.
Phoebe looked around the house she had made a mess of. She got up tiredly and started tidying up, even if she was bored or wanted to die, she didn't want to die in a dirty house like this.
While cleaning, Phoebe discovered in her mother's closet there were yellowed photos. In the picture is a couple that is her mother and a man she is sure is her father. "Is this dad?"
There were many photos of the two of them, but most of them were stained yellow so many of them could not be seen clearly, but in every photo, her mother was smiling very happily. Phoebe talks to herself:
"You must love my father very much to be able to smile happily like this, right, mother?"
Phoebe discovered a crumpled article, she was surprised because the news in the newspaper was the death of a pureblood vampire, the photo of this vampire's corpse was unknown so she did not know the identity of that person. Phoebe was disgusted but still managed to read the whole article.
Phoebe doesn't know the identity of the vampire in the article, she only knows that a pureblood vampire has gone mad and attacked many people in the city, it eats the flesh and drinks the blood of the victims like crazy. can control themselves. All the victims were dragged into the jungle by this vampire and killed there, the same area where the vampire buried the body of a human man was discovered and hidden there by a vampire hunter. died a long time ago.
The authorities who came here examined the bodies of the murderer and the victims and they came to the conclusion that the dead vampire was a very strong purebred vampire, but because he was not careful, he was killed by the workers' guild. kill. The hunters approached were discovered and killed and the special thing was that all of the Vampire killer's victims were male.
This scary incident has made many people afraid and increasing aversion to vampires in general, humans do not dare to approach vampires. Because of that incident, the law made a lot of laws against vampires and those were completely detrimental. In the article, it is also written that "Vampire is not only vampires but they are actually demons carrying the blood of demons from hell, we humans will never know when vampires will attack us. humans and if humans live with vampires we will sooner or later be killed by them just like those unfortunate victims."
The more Phoebe read, the more scared she became, was the vampire half-blood flowing in her body really a demon's blood? But… she never wanted to hurt anyone…
Phoebe didn't want to believe her eyes, she threw the newspaper away and continued looking for other things. Meanwhile, Phoebe finds a locked wooden box, but she doesn't have the key, thinking for a moment she remembers something Phoebe goes to the pillow her mother used to lie on and tore it.
Indeed, there was a small key in it. Phoebe smiled slightly before she died forever her mother once said: "If you want to open the treasure, remember to find the key under your mother's pillow."
At that time, she just thought that because she didn't want her to worry too much, her mother said it was like a funny story. The moment Phoebe inserted the key into the lock, her heart pounded as if expecting a miracle inside the wooden box.
In that wooden box there are so much money and gems that Phoebe's hands are shaking, why do you have so much money, with this money you can cure diseases but why can't you? Phoebe panicked as she looked at the splendid coins and gems in front of her eyes and a folded letter.
It was a letter that her mother left for Phoebe, the content of which was: “Phoebe my dear child, I know that one day I will have to leave you and leave this world, but I am not willing to disagree because everything, I want to be with you even more. But my dear, my time is limited, your father must be looking forward to me too. This money is left to you by your father, I don't want to use it, because every time I see this wooden box, I feel very sad and secretly blame your father. Live the rest of your life happily and bring happiness to others. I love you!"
The total amount of money and gems in the wooden box can build several houses in the big city.
Her mother always kept it carefully, she wanted her daughter to continue to live happily after her death.
At the end of the letter, she reminded her: "You must always remember to suppress your vampire instincts and try to be honest, I know you can."
Phoebe didn't understand what her mother meant, but she would always keep it in mind. Nostalgia still tormented her little heart. Her mother was always worried about her, even dying wanted her to be happy and leave her this terrible fortune, but Phoebe felt nothing but heartache. If Phoebe had known that her mother had such a large amount of money, she would never have let her mother suffer such pain to death. All for her sake, so no matter how painful her mother is, she won't go to the doctor...
Although her mother wrote in the letter that she wanted her to live happily and bring happiness to others, now she doesn't want to live anymore, how can she live happily?
"Mom, you're giving me a hard time, when you're gone I know how to live, I don't want to live anymore, let alone live happily and bring happiness to others."
So how does Phoebe have to choose next, what to do, choose to live or die?
