Chapter 70 Being Treated Badly

• Xyleraea.
• I could hear my heart racing faster than the normal pace, my body weakening. I swallowed a deep breath while trying to calm my nerves. As I said that to him, I was expecting him to yell at me or scream, but rather he was just silent and continued working while ignoring what I was saying.
• That was how the entire day went by so fast without him saying a word to me, which made me feel slightly guilty about why I had said that in the first place. When it was time to eat, he should have attended our family gathering like he used to, but he didn't; there was no sign of him. It made me feel so guilty. I don't know how to explain the feeling; my heart was pounding so fast while I forced myself to eat. I was weirdly silent, which my sister noticed. While we were eating, my father suddenly touched me while having an encouraging smile; it was like he was trying to tell me that everything would be alright, even though I am not so sure anymore.
