That was why her mother didn't like her no matter how hard she tried!
Because she wasn't her mother's biological daughter at all!
Dory's breathing quickened the more she thought about it.
The more Dory thought about it, the more emotional she became.
Yes, she was emotional.
Any child would be sad if they found out that their mother might not actually be their biological mother.
But Dory wasn't.
Because she grew up enduring Aimeen's beating and scolding.
Dory had always felt guilty and shameful.
She always thought that it was her own fault for being beaten and scolded.
It was because she wasn't good enough.
It was because she wasn't an obedient child.
So she tried her best to be an obedient child.
But sadly, she found that no matter how hard she tried, Aimeen seemed to dislike her.
This had always bothered Dory.
But right then, this didn't bother her anymore.
In school, besides Sabrina, both teachers and students liked Dory very much.
She was even nominated to be the class monitor.
The teacher said that she was an excellent child.
But her teacher's praises made Dory feel uneasy and even weak.
She wondered how could a child who wasn't liked by her mother be excellent?
But now, Dory no longer questioned this.
She wondered if she was in fact an excellent child.
It was just that she wasn't her biological mother. So no matter what, she wouldn't like her...
The sky gradually darkened.
