Keira shook her head, struggling.”
She didn’t want to rot there forever!
She didn’t want to live in the filthy ditch either!
So, with the little time she had, she studied hard, striving to work her way up. She was determined to change her own fate!
At the age of four, she had never been to kindergarten. She secretly observed Isla, learning a foreign language. When Isla stumbled over a word, Keira was quick to respond. She thought she would receive praise from her mother. However, she never ever expected that what was about to occur was almost a complete
disaster!
Poppy praised her and unexpectedly, gave her a piece
of cake.
The sweet and rich cream in her mouth gave her a
sense of satisfaction. She was reluctant to swallow it.
She thought her life was going to change. Poppy held her hand with a smile and took her out, only to hand

her over to a human trafficker.
She didn’t cry or make a fuss. After all, the human traffickers at least gave her tasty candy, showed her kindness, and smiled at her.
Until they locked her in a basement with a bunch of
other children.
There, she met an older boy.
They spent a month together, having a good time…
In the beginning, the boy didn’t talk much. Later, he asked her, “Don’t you want to escape?”
She said happily, “I don’t.”
Although there was no freedom, she got enough to eat, had warm clothes, and didn’t have to see her mother. She felt that was the happiest time in her life.
The boy was puzzled and asked, “Why?”
She said, “Because no one hits me here.”
The boy pondered her words before asking, “What’s
your name?”
She shook her head.

didn’t have a name and didn’t have a household
registration number…
All the other children would cry and make a fuss, while she smiled every day. The human trafficker was the least guarded against her. So in the end, the boy handed her a bag of sleeping drugs to put in the trafficker’s food.
She did it.
As the children were running haphazardly away, she just stood there.
The boy asked her, “Why don’t you leave?”
She shook her head. “I don’t know where to go.”
“Then, come home with me.”
The boy extended a hand toward her, and she took his
hand.
She didn’t go home with him in the end. Because they were so young, they were rescued by the police as soon as they descended the mountain. Her identity was confirmed, and she was sent back to the Olsen
family.

Before parting, she held onto the boy’s leg and asked him in confusion, “Didn’t you say you would take me
home?”
A police officer beside them chuckled. “Little girl, you aren’t his kin. You can’t go to his home.”
She had tears in her eyes. “But I don’t want to go home! I want to be with him forever!”
The boy stroked her head and asked her, “Is it because you’ll be beaten when you go home?”
The police officer didn’t take note of this. After all, children of their age often made a big fuss at home, and getting spanked was just a part of life.
However, the boy took her seriously and said, “Wait for me. When we grow up, I’ll come and marry you, and take you to my home.”
Keira woke up abruptly.
The scenes from her dream passed by like a fast-forwarded slideshow, leaving her momentarily confused about what was real and what was a dream…
She didn’t know about others. but she remembered

clearly everything that happened when she was four.
She remembered that the boy gave her a nickname, Eleven, because she was the eleventh child who was
trafficked there.
She remembered the taste of chocolate.
She remembered the sunlight pouring into the dark
basement, and the dust dancing in the light.
That was the happiest time when she was a kid.
And this year, she turned 22, yet, that boy still hasn’t come to marry her.
A bitter smile emerged on Keira’s face.
It wasn’t that she was really fond of him. A
four-year-old child knew nothing about love, but his existence was the pillar that supported her through countless episodes of abuse and assault.
For other children, their light was Ultraman.
Her Ultraman was that boy…
Unfortunately, the boy was only a kid. He must have long forgotten about her.
Keira blinked and finally realized the strange

atmosphere in the room.
She turned her head and saw Lewis sitting next to her, asking, “Do you want some water?”
Before Keira could react, Matthew’s voice came from
the other side. “Irrelevant people should leave now. I have to examine the patient.
He picked up the stethoscope and came to the bedside, looking at Lewis.
Lewis’s face was gloomy. “I’m not an irrelevant person.”
Matthew continued. “Apart from the patient and the doctor, everyone else is irrelevant. Moreover, I have to examine the patient, which requires removing her clothes. It’s not appropriate for you to be here.”
Lewis frowned, “It’s appropriate for you to do it?”
Matthew walked to Keira and lifted her blouse. “I’m a
doctor. In my eyes, there is no distinction of gender.”
Lewis wanted to say something more, but when he saw the segment of her slender waist beneath her blouse, he blushed and immediately left the room.

After leaving the room, Tom, who was waiting outside, subconsciously peeked inside.
Lewis immediately blocked the doorway, shut the door, and scolded, “What are you looking at?”
Tom was perplexed.
He cleared his throat and said, “Boss, Miss Olsen’s
name is a trending topic.”
Then he handed over his mobile phone.
Lewis took it and saw the top trends showing a journalist conducting an interview.
The interviewee was Finley Hill’s son, Connor Hill, who was wearing his school uniform, his face
characteristically filled with discomfort and caution.
The journalist enquired, “About your father’s murder case, what do you have to say?”
Connor seemed somewhat not used to face the
camera, so he faltered. “My cousin…she didn’t do it intentionally. It was an accident…”
“Your father was a gambler. Didn’t you hate him too?”
Connor hesitated for a moment. “Sometimes yes, but

there’s nothing much to do about it. You can’t change
who you are born to, but I would lik
to say one thing
for my cousin. Over the years, my father has been constantly going to her for money, and what happened was indeed manslaughter. I’m ready to issue a letter of understanding for my cousin, and hope that the police will deal with her leniently.”
This interview was initially unremarkable, but after these words, someone in the crowd shouted, “Did you know that your good cousin has been released on bail for a ridiculous reason? Anemia is said to have affected her health! Is she going to evade the crime?”
With these words, the whole news suddenly heated up.
Hashtags such as
#SecondGenerationRichEligibleForBail#, #RichBratGetsAwayWithMurder#, and #MoneyBuysInnocenceForTheRich# immediately
went onto the trending list.
