Whisper Chapter 30

I looked over 04af222514 and over again, 1ab292ebc5 wondering if I 446bcf5c4e was seeing correctly. No, at this time, 69a17e389c something like this had 8c9d4abeca never happened before. Lee Heewoo suddenly moved 6ae8b7def2 frantically. Thinking that Cha Gyeol 3df44f1729 was probably still asleep, 56d090213e she suddenly heard the 3d1f5604f3 sound of birds chirping a5a7ced62e from somewhere. While tidying up the a86b056051 blanket, Lee Heewoo paused d39aa8c251 for a moment and b2ba3b809b moved toward the direction f7fea80c97 of the sound.35ad8a01b4bef688

[Since he beat me, I tried hiding and running away. I was terrified. Eventually, just seeing a bottle of alcohol made my heart race in fear. A year or so passed like that, and then he brought in a woman he called my stepmother. ] 

 4cfdaf334944a895

[No, not that kind of stepmother—just shut your mouth. When my stepmother came, my dad drank less and stopped hitting me. Yeah, it was great. But that didn’t last a year. ]

 040d3acf4e1e6320

[Soon enough, he was drinking and hitting again, and this time, my stepmother got beaten too. There was a time when the two of us ran away barefoot in the dead of winter, shivering under someone else’s gate. Even in that miserable state, my stepmother never ran away. ]

 799c6db1b4b662cf

[ Of course, I didn’t want her to. As a child, I was always worried she might leave me behind. Having someone with you is a world of difference from being alone. That’s how we lived, and then when I was fifteen, my stepmother finally ran away. ]

 bdf49e20cc8bd5bf

[ I know—she endured for a long time. I didn’t resent her. I cried a lot. No, I didn’t die then. You’re supposed to listen to the whole story. Then, a man moved into our neighborhood. I fell for him. ] 

 a4fb50d3e71785c1

[ He came from a well-off family and had a decent job at a company. Maybe he felt sorry for me, a girl running away from her abusive father. His family was strongly against it, but somehow, we managed to get married. A few days before the wedding, my stepmother came to see me. ] 

 c77df4d23199c198

[She must have heard about the wedding somewhere. She didn’t look great, but her face wasn’t too bad. Smiling… crying, she apologized and told me to live happily. She hugged me tight and shoved something into my hand before running off. ]

 11fa69962b0adaaf

[ When I opened it, there was a hundred thousand won inside a paper envelope. We weren’t even related by blood, but she was better than family. My dad sent me off to get married with nothing but the clothes on my back, while she gave me money. ]

 d6b4c7bb60e85514

[Happy? You think I was happy? After marriage, hell began. My mother-in-law would grab my hair, beat me, spit on me if I so much as spoke a word back. Hey, my ears are rotting from all your swearing. Can you tone it down? My husband? The funny thing is, at some point, he joined in. ]

 92df31ed82057007

[Ignoring me, hitting me, calling me names—saying I wasn’t proper, that I was ugly, that I was ignorant. I endured. I had nowhere else to go. I thought that since I was lacking, it was only natural for me to suffer like that. I believed that if I just endured… ]
