“Violet, don’t forget to go feed Susan’s dog today.” The voice of Yohan Coleman came from the other end of the phone, and I would never forget his voice for the rest of my life.
I stood there, stunned, looking at the scene in front of me in disbelief.
The exciting song Jingle Bells came from outside the window as if the excitement of Christmas hadn’t completely dissipated.
I rushed to the mirror and saw that my face was as smooth as new, without any scars. I finally realized that I had been reborn.
“Violet! Violet, are you still there?” Yohan raised his voice when he didn’t hear my response. “I’m not feeling well today and can’t go to feed it. Ask her to find a way on her own,” I said.
Hearing this, Yohan immediately sounded unhappy. “Susan has gone back to her hometown. you don’t go, Debra will starve. You usually love feeding the stray cats on the street. Why are you refusing to feed a dog now?”
I sneered, “I was bitten by a dog when I was a kid, so I’m afraid of dogs. I can’t go today. You can ask her to find someone else online to go to her place and feed the dog.”
Yohan retorted, “No way. Susan is a single girl living alone. How can she let strangers into her house? You’re also a girl. Don’t you have any empathy?”
Seeing that I was so determined, Yohan quickly softened his tone. “Since you’re not feeling well, you can rest at home. I’ll send the dog to your place. Just take care of it for a few days, and I’ll pay you according to the market price. Is that okay?”
My heart, which had just been put at ease, instantly tightened again.
I was living with my parents. If that vicious dog was sent to our door, the three of us might end up losing our lives.
I wanted to dig out Yohan’s heart to see what color it was.
I forced a smile, saying, “Forget it. Aren’t you going back to your hometown with your dad? I’ll do this favor for you. Don’t talk about money. It makes us seem so distant.”
Yohan laughed, “I’ll thank you on behalf of Susan. When she comes back, I’ll ask her to invite you to dinner.”
After hanging up the phone, I sat down, covering my heart, and gasped for breath.
It was Christmas, and my parents had made an appointment with relatives to go out to play cards. There were still gifts sent by relatives on the ground.
Looking at those gifts, I got an idea.
I took two boxes of wine and a box of seafood from home and drove to Yohan’s house.
Then, I knocked on the door.
Only Yohan’s mother, Donna Coleman, was at home. Because she had a bad relationship
D with Yohan’s grandparents when she was young, she never went back to their hometown to
worship them.
Perhaps for this reason, now that she was in charge, she also found me disagreeable in
every way

Donna said, “My son hasn’t decided to marry you yet. It’s not appropriate for you to come to the door with gifts. Take them back.”
I smiled, “Mrs. Donna Coleman, whether Yohan and I will get married or not, you’re still my elder. I can’t take back the gifts I gave to an elder. If these things don’t suit your taste, I’ll accompany you out to pick some. You can buy whatever you like.”
I had a sincere expression and didn’t show any sign of unhappiness. So Donna couldn’t say anything more.
Now, hearing that I would accompany her out to buy whatever she wanted, after a little
reluctance, she was led out by me.
