Chapter 1891
When she was doing well, she would set up a stall on the street to help others sew and mend their clothes to help with the family expenses. When she was not doing well, she asked her two children to tie her up at home as she did not want to hurt anybody and she did not want to be sent to a psychiatric hospital. That was because once she was sent to a psychiatric hospital, her two children would no longer have a mother. Both her children would have no home to go back to. Therefore, only the two siblings, Malvolio and Eira, knew about Eirwen1 s mental issues. 1
The first time Malvolio had stolen something was when he was eighteen. He had snuck into a psychiatric hospital to steal psychiatric medication. It was by a lucky chance that after his mother had taken the medication he stole for her, she clearly got better and did not have any episode for more than half a year. After that, Malvolio would steal medication for his money when nobody was around. With that, his mother's illness has improved. To be honest, it was also because Eirwen's will power was strong enough. She was a mother who cared so much for her two children, so how could she let herself go insane?
The two children were very happy that she had gotten better. It was particularly so for Eira. She was an eight -year-old little girl, which was at the time when she needed her mother, she held her mother’s hand. " Mom, take me shopping, alright?" 1
Eirwen smiled, "of course. I am fine now. I want to open a fashion store in the future and make the clothes myself. I can make money and I will let you two wear decent clothes and have proper meals."
Eira leaned into her mother's arms. "Mom, I don’t want you to make a lot of money. I just want you to be healthy and keep US accompanied. Mom, I just want you to be doing well. I will think of a way to make money." 1
Eirwen thought the eight-year-old girl was just joking and was trying to console her mother.
However, Eirwen did not know that in order to not let her mother worry and not let her mother have another episode, Eira had privately gone to find her father. When Delmont came in front of the Delmont and Joy Fashion Company, he was startled to see Eira there. The little girl was not short, but she was very skinny. The clothes she wore were a little small and also a little dirty. The pair of shoes on her feet, in particular, was not just dirty, but her toes were even jutting out. Delmont could not help but feel heartbroken when he saw such a child standing in front of him. 1
"Eira, why are you here?" asked Delmont. 1
Eira looked at her father coldly. "Give me money. I want a lot of money!" 2
"Haven't I just sent two thousand dollars to you guys a week ago? Why are you still dressed like that? Did your brother spend all the money? Let me tell you. You and your brother don’t have the same father! Don’t let your brother spend the money that I have given you. You can buy pretty clothes and good food for yourself!" Delmont was extremely furious.
Originally, he could have given his daughter a very good life and a lot of money. He was not short of money at that moment. However, once he thought of needing to raise someone else's boy, Delmont became reluctant. Therefore, he had been giving them just enough for his daughter's living expenses, and he felt that giving them two thousand dollars a month was already too much. Also, he had just given them the money last week, so no matter how, his daughter never would have finished spending it.
"Dad! We paid the rent with the two thousand dollars you gave me. The landlord had asked for three months ' rent. That is already one thousand and eight hundred dollars for three months. All that's left at home is just two hundred dollars." Eira looked at her father in tears. 1
Delmont became furious. "Eira, I have the obligation to raise you, but I don’t have the obligation to support your brother and your mother. Do you understand that?" 1
"I don’t care. I just want money. I want money!" Eira said. 1
