"Dalina, I'll tell you the truth. When the 'Aurora' offensive just ended and I retired from the army and returned home, I actually thought about committing suicide..."
"I can't fall asleep every night."
"Even if I fall asleep, I always dream of the faces of the civilians who died at my hands..."
"I can't stand this kind of life. The idea of suicide has appeared in my mind countless times..."
Although Lina said this in a joking tone, Darina beside her couldn't laugh at all...
Dalina knew how heavy the fact she was talking about was under Lina's joking appearance.
And Lina's narration continued.
"I hesitated for a long time between committing suicide and continuing to live..."
"Until...one day when I went to the city to do business, I met a mother and daughter on the street."
"They were a poor mother and daughter, half-dressed, pale and thin. They were begging on the street."
"Looking at this poor mother and daughter, I had an impulse at that time - I wanted to help them."
"I wanted to help them as much as I could."
"So I bought some bread and gave it to them."
"I still...no, I may never forget their expressions after receiving the bread I gave them."
"I will never forget their expressions at that time..."
"When I saw the excitement and excitement on their faces, I...wanted to The thought of killing was reduced a lot at once..."
"You may find it exaggerated when I say this, Darlene."
"But when I received the gratitude from the mother and daughter, I really felt that I was 'redeemed'..."
"I want to be redeemed like this..."
"So at that moment, I had the idea of building an orphanage to adopt orphans..."
Lina seemed to have thought of something interesting, and after a few chuckles, she said:
"In my previous years, my job was always killing people."
"And in my later years, my job was to raise others."
"I am a butcher who can have such an ending in the end. I feel very happy."
Speaking of this, Lina paused again.
After this pause, the smile on Lina's face disappeared.
As the smile disappeared, a few traces of melancholy replaced the original smile.
"Although... I know I am just deceiving myself..."
"I just want to reduce my guilt by the sense of accomplishment of helping and raising others..."
"I... killed so many innocent civilians..."
"How can this sin be repaid by raising a few children..."
"Besides... paying for sin is absurd..."
"Sin is sin, not debt. How can it be repaid..."
Lina's tone was very strange.
It seemed like she was asking Darlene, and it seemed like she was asking herself.
Listening to what Lina said, Darlene's face changed.
She clearly felt that after Lina said this, her mood began to become strange.
Darlene racked her brains and tried to think about what to say to cheer Lina up again.
Just then--a very noisy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the kitchen.
Darlene and Lina were very familiar with this footsteps.
After all, they had heard this footsteps for a while.
So they immediately recognized that it was Marion's three adopted kids.
The two turned around and looked towards the kitchen door.
Sure enough, Marion and the other three were running towards the kitchen excitedly.
Darlene noticed that Marion was holding a red flower in her hand.
And Sara was holding a yellow flower in her hand.
Before Darlene and Lina could ask what they were doing in the kitchen, Marion, who was in the front, excitedly handed a red flower in her hand to Lina.
"Miss Lina! Miss Darlene! These are the flowers we three just picked outside! We think these two flowers are very suitable for you! So give them to you!"
As soon as Marion finished speaking, Sara, who was introverted, slowly walked towards Darlene and handed a yellow flower in her hand to Darlene.
Looking at the yellow flower in Sara's hand and the red flower in Marion's hand, Darlene felt a sense of laughter and tears.
I thought to myself: They are really little kids...
Excitedly giving the flowers they picked to others - this should be something only little kids can do.
However - Darlene was still very happy.
Although the flowers they gave were just ordinary wild flowers picked from the wild.
But Darlene had felt the kindness of Marion and the others through these wild flowers.
"Thank you..." Darlene's face was full of gentle smiles, "Thank you... I am so happy to receive such beautiful flowers."
As Darlene said this, she solemnly took the yellow flower from Sarah's hand.
As soon as she took the yellow flower, Darlene suddenly noticed from the corner of her eyes that something seemed to be wrong with Lina beside her.
Lina... was crying.
After Marion handed the red flower in her hand to Lina, Lina stood there in a daze.
After staring at the red flower in front of her for a while, two lines of tears suddenly rolled out of her pupils.
Lina's sudden tears not only scared Marion and the other two, but also scared Darlena.
Before Darlena could ask what happened to Lina, Lina suddenly squatted down and hugged Marion in front of her.
"Thank you... Thank you..."
While hugging Marion in front of her, Lina shed tears and thanked Marion and the others over and over again.
Although she was crying, there was no sadness on Lina's face.
There was only extreme joy.
And——the relief that seemed to have lifted off the cliff in her heart…
"Miss Lina, what's wrong with you?"
"Miss Lina, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Let's help you get to your room."
…
Marion and the other two, who couldn't figure out why Bai Lina was suddenly like this, surrounded her and kept talking about her concerns.
Only Darlene, who was standing by, stared at the crying Lina for a few seconds, and then a relieved smile appeared on her face.
Unlike Marion and the other two, Darlene knew why Lina was suddenly like this.
This little red flower might be just an ordinary flower or an ordinary gift to Darlene and Marion.
But to Lina, it was salvation.
Although this idea was strange.
But——Darlene sincerely hoped that Lina could continue to be saved like she is now.
