Jean: “I know what you mean, but for some people, if you don’t spend more time with them, how are you supposed to grow closer?”
Jean: “A lot happened in the Ginger family before. My brothers would often gather for a short while, and they’d come together to deal with the troubles at hand.”
Jean: “Back then, I really thought we had all grown closer, that our whole family was becoming more united.”
Jean: “But I guess for you, that only lasted for a little while. There are mental blocks which are still stuck with you, aren’t they?”
Mental blocks?
Winston’s gaze lingered on those words. The emotions in his eyes shifted rapidly.
Yes.
I did have unresolved mental blocks.
To be honest, I had already let go of most things when it came to the others.
But when it came to Dominic…
I couldn’t let it go.
That incident was tied to Dominic–and to Sienna, too.
I had tried to convince myself, again and again, to stop caring about the tiny details from so many years ago.
But every time I remembered myself as a child, drowning in pain, struggling helplessly in that dark place…
I just couldn’t.
I didn’t have the right to forgive everything on behalf of me back then.
The pain was real. It left an imprint so deep that it shaped who I became, changing the trajectory of my life and my personality forever.
To just let it go so easily… felt like betraying the child who had suffered.
Winston shook his head quickly. Frustration was already written across his brows.
My emotions were a mess. It felt like there was a tug–of–war happening in my mind.
One voice told me that if it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have become so cold, irritable, and depre fallen into a pain that never seemed to end.
I wouldn’t have
Another voice told me that it was all in the past now. That in the middle of all the chaos and change, I had formed deeper bonds with the Ginger family. I had realized that my brothers were dependable and sincere, that my mother’s gaze held nothing but warmth, and that my little sister was the most special person in the world….
So if all that was true, shouldn’t just move on? Wasn’t it a little dramatic to still hold onto all that pain?

The two voices clashed inside Winston’s mind. He rubbed his temples, his brows tightening sharply as a dull ache crept through his head like nerve endings being pulled tight.
Just then, his phone chimed with a new message.
Winston exhaled slowly and lit up the screen again.
Jean: “Alright, I won’t bring it up again. I feel like talking about it just upsets you.”
He pressed his lips together and quickly typed a reply.
Winston: “I’m not upset. It’s just… there are things I still can’t make sense of.”
After sending that message, Jean on the other side went silent.
Winston held his phone and instinctively shut his eyes.
Half a minute later, Jean finally replied:
Jean: “Winston, can I come see you later?”
Come see me?
That caught him off guard.
But deep down, he didn’t mind.
Even if I still had mixed feelings toward the rest of the Ginger family, Jean was different.
Winston: “You want to come to me?”
Winston: “If you really want to, I’ll come pick you up. I don’t feel comfortable letting you come alone.”
Jean: “No need, Winston. You don’t have to pick me up. Just send me your address.”
Jean: “I guess… you’re probably not staying in the school dorms, right?”
Since Jean put it that way, Winston didn’t push further. He simply sent her his apartment address.
Winston: “When you arrive, just give me a call.”
