In the hotel.
Standing in front of the mirror, I carefully dabbed the blood from my forehead.
The wound was a bit large; one bandage wouldn’t cover it.
But it was so late, and I didn’t dare to leave the hotel room to buy bandages.
Usually, I could never get enough sleep.
Tonight, perhaps because of the stinging pain on my forehead, I found it hard to sleep.
I had forgotten why I was sent abroad.
I only remembered that, ever since I was little, Willow was always smarter, always more
outstanding than me.
Everywhere she went, she seemed to glow.
That’s why Dad and Mom had the highest hopes for her.
Willow became a child model at a very young age, and later, her image as a beautiful
academic genius went viral.
As for me, aside from having a similar appearance to her, I was useless.
So, I understood my parents’ favoritism.
I agreed with Mom and Dad’s approach, to allocate more resources to the capable Willow.
But, was this favoritism the reason they sent me abroad?
I remember when I was abroad, swallowing handfuls of pills and undergoing painful
treatments, Mom told me over the phone that it would make me smarter.
But I always felt that after returning from abroad, my mind was even worse.
Besides being lethargic, my reactions were slower.
Did Mom and Dad have to bring me back because the treatment failed?
Did they dislike me even more because I was dumber?
