“Your childhood was really quite painful. But it’s all in the past now.”

Jean tightened her grip on Samuel’s wrist, her voice warm yet firm. “The one who caused all this, the root of all evil, is your father–Matheo, that bastard!”
Her voice suddenly rose, burning with anger and righteous fury.
“Matheo…” That name made Samuel’s eyes flicker slightly. He repeated it under his breath, his gaze still
vacant.
“Yes, Matheo.” Jean clenched her back teeth, her brows furrowing deeply.
“Yes, Matheo,” Jean gritted her teeth. Her eyebrow frowned deeply.
“That man is a walking disaster. He’s the one who ruined everything, who poisoned the atmosphere in our home and dragged everyone into unbearable pain…”
Samuel’s frown deepened as flashes of Matheo’s cold, distant silhouette crossed his mind.
There was a time I had wanted nothing more than for my father to really look at me–not with that icy stare, but with softness, with care…
But that was just a dream, wasn’t it? Something forever out of reach.
Yeah. It was all because of him.
If I hadn’t had a father like that… maybe my childhood wouldn’t have been so bleak and broken.
His eyes dropped. Those dark lashes trembled nonstop as he turned to Jean. Somehow, his eyes felt hot.
“Samuel…” Meeting Samuel’s fragile yet earnest gaze, Jean was moved, just slightly. Her other hand gently enclosed his. “It’s all over now. Matheo has been punished. He’ll spend the rest of his life seeking redemption. He won’t ever come near our lives again.
Mom was just misled for a while, but she’s come to her senses. She really does love you. She loves all of her children…” Jean’s voice was full of emotion and sincerity.
But suddenly, Samuel shook his head fiercely. His eyes turned a shade colder “No… She doesn’t love me… she loves Matheo more…”
Jean froze for a second, then quickly explained, “That was before. Now she es him more than anyone, alright?”
She squeezed his hand tighter and sighed. “She really does regret everything. And she’s trying to make things right- And our brothers too,”
Jean added, a faint smile curling on her lips. “None of them are bad people. It’s just that they grew up in a
themselves- cold and distant environment. They never learned how to be close to anyone, how to express And slowly, everyone drifted apart. But I believe that as long as everyone is willing.”
She took a deep breath, voice rising with hope, “Our family can come together again. We can be happy. Samuel, we must look forward,”
Jean’s voice became even more passionate, like a speaker on a stage rallying a crowd, her every word

holding a powerful pull. “The misfortune is behind us. The devil is gone. The light is right ahead–What wr need now is for you to open your heart and take that first step… Everyone’s waiting for you to come closer..
Samuel’s eyes slightly widened. His blank eyes seemed to have some response.
My family….are waiting for me to go closer?
Really?
His eyes were filled with water, shaking unstoppable.
“But…” His eyes flashed with pain, “Mom, she…”
Mom…
Jean was stunned..
Looks like his mental barrier is Sienna.
Want to overcome it, whatever I say can’t bring any true help.
