{Yuna Burgert’s perspective.]

‘My heart seemed to stop beating for a moment.

‘What the hell was going on here! Andrew must have heard this. Is it possible that he did not hear anything?

If he heard me, how could I explain that I was here! Should I go over and apologize? What if he did not hear me?

‘My mind was in a mess. My body had already reacted before my brain.

‘Let’s get out of here first!’

I turned around to leave the storage room, but I did not expect to step on the glass.

“Ah!” I screamed.

‘What did I step on? I did not have time to look down. I just wanted to get out of this dark place first. I had just walked to the door of the storage room when I saw that the lights in the kitchen and dining room had been tumed on. Andrew’s bodyguards were walking in this direction. I did not know whether

to retreat or advance for a moment.

‘Tm done for!” This was the only thought in my mind.

How would the Mafia punish those who eavesdropped? All kinds of rumored punishments flashed through my mind. I hoped that Andrew would give me a quick death with that pistol for the sake of the past few days as I thought in despair.

“Miss Yuna?” The bodyguard’s surprised voice sounded in my ear.

I looked at him through the gaps of my fingers. It seemed that he did not have any intention to question me. I uncovered my face and said with an embarrassed smile

“It’s me.”

“Why are you here?”

At this moment, the butler also walked over. When he saw me, he said in surprise, “Miss Yuna!”

I looked at him gratefully. The Butler’s arrival had helped me out of the predicament, allowing me to escape the question that the bodyguard couldn’t answer. The butler immediately asked, “Why are you here?”

I looked at the butler resentfully. Were you here to help me out of my predicament?

This time, everyone’s gaze was focused on me, including the bodyguard just now. They were all waiting for me to give an explanation. I looked at the bodyguard’s thick and strong arm and could not help but tremble.

“Uhm, I’m hungry. I wanted to come to the kitchen to find something to eat.”

I saw everyone nod their heads in understanding, thinking that I had muddled through.

“But why did you come to the storage room? Didn’t you just drink a cup of milk and say that you were tired?” The butler asked doubtfully.

“Twas tired just now, and then, I was hungry again.” Life was like this. If I told a lie, I would have to use countless lies to cover it up.

I braced myself and continued, “Then, I didn’t find anything to eat in the kitchen, so I wanted to come here to have a look.”

“Miss Yuna, you just arrived. It’s normal that you’re not familiar with it. If you need anything next time, just call us. There’s no food in the storage room. It’s just some miscellaneous items. It’s better that you don’t come here next time. If you accidentally bump into anything, you’ll…”

The butler suddenly saw something and shouted, “Ah, you’re injured! What’s going on! ?”

1 followed his gaze and looked over. There was a cut on my ankle and it was bleeding.

This should be a cut from stepping on a piece of debris.

I tried to move and felt that it was fine. I said, “It should be fine. It’s just a cut. I’s not a problem.”

“Please don’t move!” The butler made a fuss. “Call the doctor.”

“It’s really fine.” I tried to get up. “I can still walk”

“Miss Yuna!” The butler’s expression was a little serious. “How can you not take care of your own body!”

Iwas stunned. It was only a small scratch. I looked down again. With that kind of wound, it would be fine in a few days. There was no need to apply medicine.

‘When I was at Burgert villa, I did not know when or why I would be beaten up by unknown people. There was no doctor, no medicine, and no one to care for me. It was not a big deal. There were a few times when I had a high fever. I thought that I was going to die, but in the end, I still managed to survive.

This sudden feeling of being cared for made me want to cry.

“It must be very painful.” The butler used a handkerchief to cover my ankle. “The doctor will be here soon. Miss Yuna, please hold on a little longer.”

I looked at the butler in a daze. I had been brought to Burgert villa since I was ten years old, and no one had ever treated me well.

The man who was said to be my father by blood had never given me any love from my father. The way he looked at me was either strange or cold.

Many times, I could not understand why he would bring me back since he did not like me. Since he had brought me back, why did he ignore me?

The butler’s care at this moment might only be his responsibility, but it was the first time I felt the love of an elder. I felt a trace of fatherly love.

“Miss Yuna, you can let it out if you feel pain. You don’t have to endure it. You’re still a child at your age.”

Hearing this, I could not hold it in any longer. It was just as he said. I cried.
