I am Nicole Si.
Other children had parents and grandparents on their father"s side to accompany them, but when I was born, I only had my mother, grandparents and two uncles on my mother"s side to accompany me.
At first, I didn"t have any feelings about my lack of a father.
I grew older, and by the time I was one year old, I could walk and talk. But, one day, I suddenly felt so empty. Then, I became aware of the fact that I was missing something in my home.
Many people loved me, but I realized that neither my mother nor my two uncles could give me what I needed.
And I knew that it was my father"s love.
Many nights, I saw my mother looking at a picture of a person on her phone and weeping silently.
I knew that it was my father, the one I had always been yearning to see, even though I"ve never met him.
One day, when my mother wasn"t home, I clumsily rummaged through all the magazines in her room.
There were dozens of magazines.
And they all had a picture of a handsome man on the cover or inside it.
I looked closely at him. I didn"t know his name, where he lived, or why his eyes looked so scary.
Strangely, I was not afraid of his indifferent eyes, but instead, I felt warmth from them.
Before I turned two years old, I found out that his name was Harry.
The name Harry has been in my mind ever since, and a voice told me that he was my father... Harry was my father...
Although no one had explicitly told me that Harry was my father, and I had never dared to ask my mother if he really was, but from my deep down heart, I knew he was.
One day, I finally got up the nerve to ask my mother where my father was. She told me that he was abroad.
Actually, I had learned from the news that he had already come to A Country.
My father seemed to be an amazing man. He had been on the financial news channels almost every day, sometimes even on the entertainment news channels. Although people didn"t know I was his daughter, I was proud to have such a wonderful father.
Not long after, my mother gave me some beautifu
"You"re my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years pa.s.sed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
om."
So, to see my mother, I had to be a good girl.
I dutifully celebrated my birthday with Aunt Cherry, letting a number of photographers take pictures of us, but I was actually tempted to kick the cake away.
I could finally meet my mother!
My father and Aunt Cherry brought me to a wedding. Soon after I entered the hotel, I saw my mother in a wheelchair.
I wanted to cry; I wanted to call out to her, but my hand was held tightly by my father, so I had to restrain the urge to.
I let Aunt Cherry offer me food, as if I was an obedient girl who liked being with her.
But, I was not happy at all.
I found my mother in the back garden of the hotel. She was talking to Uncle Thomas.
I disliked Uncle Thomas because he wanted to be my father, and I didn"t want him to be.
I wanted to hug my mother so much that I ran to her. She was also excited to see me because she was crying hard.
I ran to her without caring about anything, so I didn"t pay attention to the road and fell down.
Seeing this, my mother tried to get up and help me, but she forgot that her leg was broken. As soon as she got up, she also fell to the ground.
I really wanted to cry, but I could not. I knew that if I cried, she would get sadder.
When uncle Thomas took me to her arms, I wiped away her tears. Then, I hugged her and found that she was much thinner than before.
