Come With Me

Chapter 23 Which Star Are You

Have you ever experienced such a separation, though not profound, but you can't help worry about it.

"Hi, Rogelio. I'm Michelle. I'm by your side."

Rogelio's eyes were closed, just like what he had been before.

The tightly closed eyes opened again, like a conditioned reflex.

"Rogelio, Rogelio, can you hear me? If you can, just wink at me, okay? "

Without moving or responding, Rogelio still stared at the ceiling.

"Rogelio, I'm really grateful that you opened your eyes for me. I'm not in a hurry. I'm willing to wait for you to regain your consciousness. When you get better, we do a lot of things together. We read books together, watch movies together, listen to songs together, go for a walk together, and go to many places together. Our footprints are left everywhere. What do you think? "

Rogelio's hand suddenly twitched. I held it in his hand and rubbed it with my fingers. "Don't worry. You'll be fine soon, very soon."

No one would think that I would have some feelings for such a person as Rogelio, but I just couldn't explain and didn't want to give up.

Maybe out of sympathy, or out of concern, or of guilt for letting him lose "Michelle" again.

That night, I read a few more love letters for Rogelio. I kept reading the letters until he closed his eyes again.

I fell asleep on the bedside of Rogelio.

The dawn was coming.

I took a last look at the small world where I had been living in. It was clean, bright, beautiful, warm and most importantly, accompanied by someone.

I leaned down, for the first and last time, to give the sleeping Rogelio a hug.

"Since you got sick, I haven't told you. I love you."

I got up and looked at Rogelio on the bed with guilt.

I said to Rogelio silently in my heart, 'sorry to wake you up, but I can only accompany you to here. Please forgive me. I hope you can be strong and be good with the person you love."

I walked out of Rogelio's room quietly with the simple suitcase I had when I came here.

It was quite early now and many people should be sleeping.

Maria is sitting in the hall waiting for me.

"You'd better keep that in mind."

"Take care of Rogelio please."

Maria looked dismissive. "Don't pretend to be innocent. We are sure to be more careful with Mr. Rogelio than you are." Mr. Rogelio has recovered because of the good medicine and doctor. Don't take it for the credit that you woke him up. "

"You are also a servant in the Luo family. You are not nobler than me. Why are you so aggressive?"

Maria stood up and teased, "Wow, you're really leaving. How dare you talk back?"

I didn't avert my eyes because of her stare at me. I have a clear conscience.

There is no need for me to tangle with them, let alone to be sneered at by them.

I passed by Maria and walked out of the door.

"Wait!" Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Maria called me and looked around me, her eyes fixed on the luggage in my hand.

"Humph, do you want to leave before everyone wakes up? Are those lost items in this luggage?"

I stared into Maria's eyes, full of anger, "Maria, please speak with proof."

Maria raised her chin. "As the steward, what I said is the evidence."

"If I don't have anything in my luggage, you must apologize to me."

"What if you did?"

"I'll call the police myself and go to jail."

Mrs. Nancy's voice suddenly sounded in the second floor. "Forget it. Maria, let her go. She is not a thief. Don't say this again in the Luo family and she is not allowed to be mentioned either."

"But Mrs. Nancy..."

Before Maria could finish her sentence, she was frightened by the eyes of Mrs. Nancy.

I raised my head to look at Mrs. Nancy standing by the side of my hand on the second floor. The look in her eyes at that moment was the most friendliness she had given me since the time we got along with each other.

Although her eyes contained the comfort for my leaving.

Although I was poor, I had my own stubbornness.

I put the bag on the ground, and then I took everything out from it.

There were only a few old clothes with me when I came here.

"Maria, have you seen it clearly? There's not even a needle in the Luo family. "

Maria looked away, pretending that she saw nothing.

"Apologize to me."

Maria was stunned, but she soon acted as if she heard nothing.

"Apologize to me."

Maria still didn't open her mouth.

Mrs. Nancy spoke for Maria. "I have told you that you are not a thief. No one will say that about you again. You don't need to do so."

Maria even didn't dare to look into my eyes. I looked at her and sneered, "a person who can't keep his promise to herself, a person who frame others up without any evidence, a person who doesn't have a noble social status but laugh at others freely, what makes you have such a sense of superiority? I'm poor, but I didn't steal or rob. I live with a clear conscience... "

Maria blushed.

She opened her mouth, but didn't say anything to defend herself. Without looking back, I strode out of the house of the Luo family.

When I left the Luo family, I took a deep breath because I didn't want to be taunted by them any more.

But such a relief was only fleeting. The next moment, a serious problem came to my mind: where should I go?

I didn't want to go home. I was here because I wanted to escape from my mother.

What's more, if I go back, will the scene in the past repeat?

But if I don't go back, where can I go without a penny?

That day, I wandered like a headless fly, looked at the bustling crowd, looked at the smiles on their faces, and knew that there was a home behind them.

I wandered from morning to night

"I want a home, it don't need to be big. Then I won't be afraid when I am scared..."

The music was so loud in the roadside shops. Only I knew how desolate I was at that moment.

I took a seat in front of a curly curtain that had been closed. I buried my head between my knees, listening to the song and licking my inner wounds.

I smelled a familiar smell of tobacco. I raised my head and found a man standing next to me.

"Why are you here?"

I knew that I am in a very embarrassing situation, but I don't want to stand up. I just withdrew my gaze from Robbie and asked instinctively.

"I just want to know where my debtor is."

"I will pay you back for the money I owe you. And thank you. You allow me to leave now and pay you back the money later."

After exhaling a smoke ring, Robbie leaned against the wall and looked up at the stars.

"Someone said there was a star in the sky corresponded to a person on the ground, which one do you think is you?"
