Chapter 238 Demi's Request (Rebecca's Past)
After the Cangming Conference ended, Demi dragged her tired body back to the hotel in Cangming Town.
The moment she entered her room, she looked at the brilliant lights covering the hotel floor, and tears began to slide down her cheeks irregularly.
At this moment, in this room where I am alone, I finally don’t need to play the role of the “normal” me anymore. . .
Numbness and back spread across her legs. After breaking a wine glass, she picked up the shards on the ground and cut her wrist hard. Then, blood flowed along the arc of the glass shards and covered her entire arm.
Demi knew that she had once again... once again... touched the bottom line of her life.
Before she lost consciousness due to excessive bleeding, Demi quickly rushed to the phone on the bedside table of the hotel, picked up the phone and called the front desk. After the call was connected, Demi said in a numb and pale tone.
Demi: "Um... I seem to have cut my wrists, can you come and save me..."
In the end, Demi was sent to the hospital in time. This scene seemed to have been repeated many times.
And that time on the deck, Demi actually wanted to fall into the sea on purpose.
However, every time after this happened, she would always try her best to seek help from everyone in order to save her people.
Because... before completing that task, she couldn't fall, even though every breath was a torment for her.
After a night of rescue, Demi successfully saved her life.
At this moment, she was lying on the hospital bed, looking at the bandage on her wrist. She was glad that she was still alive, but at the same time, she began to feel the suffocation of being alive.
After thinking it over, she decided to take a good gamble like Heimer did at the Cangming Conference.
Either end everything for yourself, or try to truly end everything...
Early in the morning, Demi came to the hotel where Hemer was staying with a thick document.
After she rang the doorbell at the hotel entrance, Uncle Bai slowly opened the door.
The moment Demi saw Walter White, she immediately gave her standard smile.
Demi: "Hello, I'm here to see Chi Haimo, is he here?"
As the CEO of a company, although Walter White is only 35 years old, he has seen countless people. Therefore, the moment he saw Demi's smiling face, he was more alert than relaxed, because he knew that there must be a lot of things hidden under Demi's smile.
Bai Su: "Well...what do you want to see him about?"
Demi: "Well, as an opponent in the gorgeous competition, there are some things I want to discuss with him."
Bai Su: "Sorry, he is not free today, please come another day."
After Uncle Bai finished speaking, he was about to close the door when Demi immediately spoke.
Demi: "Please, I have something to talk to him about, please, please."
After Demi finished speaking, she knelt down on the spot. When Uncle Bai saw this scene, although he was a little moved, his heart hardened again when he thought of the fact that Heimer had broken all his hands and feet.
Bai Su: "Sorry, I told you, he's not free."
At this moment, Heimer heard Uncle Bai's voice and asked in confusion.
Chi Haimo: "Old White, what's the matter?"
When Demi heard this, she immediately took the lead and shouted.
Demi: "Chi Haimo!! It's me!! I need to talk to you about something!!! Please!! Talk to me!!"
Bai Su: “You!”
Finally, Demi entered the room.
At this moment, she was sitting face to face with Heimer in the lobby of the hotel room, while Walter White was staring at her vigilantly.
Chi Haimo: "Well, if you have anything to say, tell me now."
Demi glanced at Uncle Bai and immediately lowered her head. Seeing this, Heimer immediately spoke gently to Uncle Bai.
Chi Haimo: "Dear, go and have a rest first. You haven't had a good rest in the past few days."
Uncle Bai understood what Heimer meant. He immediately squatted down, shook his head, and said to Heimer worriedly.
Bai Su: "But...well, no, I have to stay with you."
Seeing this, Heimer smiled and gently rubbed Uncle Bai with his head and said.
Chi Haimo: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
After thinking for a long time, Uncle Bai hugged Heimer gently, kissed his forehead, and then spoke to him softly.
Bai Su: "If you have any problem, just call me loudly, I'll be in the next room."
Chi Haimo: "Well, okay."
Bai Su: "Of course."
Chi Haimo: "Yes, definitely."
After Uncle Bai left, Heimer asked Demi gently.
Chi Haimo: "Well, now it's just the two of us, so just say whatever you want to say."
Demi took many deep breaths before slowly uttering two words.
Demi: “Please…”
Chi Haimo: "Hmm? What?"
Demi: "Please, help me."
Chi Haimo: "Well...what can I do for you?"
Demi: "Save my sister..."
After hearing this, Heimer became more and more confused about what the girl in front of him was talking about.
Chi Haimo: "Who is your sister?"
Demi: "Rebecca...color fever purple..."
When Heimer heard this, the expression on his face changed suddenly. He swallowed and asked seriously.
Chi Haimo: "Sorry, um, can you tell me more about it?"
Perhaps it was because she could no longer endure this torment, could no longer bear this suffocation, so after hearing Heimer's question, Demi immediately told him everything she knew.
And this includes Rebecca's past...
The paths of many people seem to be destined from the moment they are born to not be smooth.
After being treated roughly, a woman gave birth to a purple-haired girl in a dim basement of a tavern. This girl is today's Rebecca.
Demi was only a teenager at the time. After being forced by her father again, the helpless Demi ran to the rooftop again and cut her arms with broken glass bottles, one by one.
She hoped that this pain could make her forget those terrible things for a while...
But the pain still hurts, and the memories still hurt.
Helplessness and powerlessness oppressed the young Demi at the same time. Unknowingly, she took many paths that she shouldn't have taken at her age.
As time passed, this already broken soul became even more difficult to reconcile with itself, but strangely, Demi seemed to have slowly adapted to this feeling of decay.
On Demi's eighteenth birthday, the "gift" her father gave her was another humiliation and another coercion.
Tears still flow from the corners of my eyes, but my heart has long since become numb.
After everything was over and her father fell asleep, Demi would still go to the rooftop, take the glass fragments, and repeatedly cut her arms.
At this moment, she didn't rely on the pain to forget the pain, but because... She seemed to be able to feel only this kind of pain...
After watching the blood flow all over her arm again, Demi was about to throw away the fragments when she heard a baby crying.
Seeing this, Demi curiously hid aside and looked at the source of the sound, only to find a woman in a black dress holding a black cloth bag.
The woman looked around and after making sure that there was no one around, she threw the small cloth bag into the trash can in front of her, and then left the scene as quickly as possible.
Demi walked forward carefully, opened the lid of the trash can, and saw Rebecca covered in blood.
With big eyes and long eyelashes, she looks as pretty as a doll.
Demi looked at the tiny baby, as if she saw herself before she had experienced all this, pure and flawless. She gently touched the baby's cheek and whispered.
Demi: "If you were born into a wealthy family, you would be a very good girl. With stunning looks and outstanding talents, you would encounter your own beautiful life and embark on your own journey with the magic babies. Everything would be perfect and very "normal."
Perhaps it was because Demi often thought that if she had not walked those dark roads, she might have been a very good girl.
Such thoughts played out in Demi's mind every day, and at this moment, when she saw Rebecca, Demi decided to make this idea a reality for Rebecca.
From that day on, there was a spark in Demi's life, a small purple spark.
In order to protect this little flame that belonged to her alone, Demi used all her strength.
She designed her father to abuse her again, and then bravely reported him to the police station using a camera hidden in the corner.
After her father was captured, Demi embarked on a long journey of wandering, holding the small flame.
During this period, she did a lot of work, from being at a loss in the beginning to being familiar with it later, she did it very well.
And accompanied by the purple flame, Demi walked through the long tunnel and welcomed her own light.
Sometimes, she would even forget that she had ever experienced such a painful thing.
Just as she wished, the little purple flame grew into a very outstanding girl in the eyes of the world.
With outstanding looks and excellent academic qualifications, everything is going very smoothly and she is very happy.
It feels like everything is moving in the direction that I want.
Looking up at this gentle flame, she seemed to have finally been redeemed.
At least, that's how Demi sees it...
Later, Rebecca received an invitation from Color Fever, left a letter, and resolutely left home.
[Sister, I don’t want to be your perfect doll anymore. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be your reincarnation, nor your painkiller. But now, I can’t seem to find the direction. No matter how I try... I can’t find the direction to move forward...]
After Rebecca left, Demi, who had lost her spark, became blind again. When she had to look into her own heart, the scars of the past began to hurt again.
In the pitch-black darkness, Demi stumbled and picked up the Thorny Shell and Laplace that Rebecca had captured before, and embarked on this journey.
At this moment, after listening to Demi's narration, Heimer suddenly understood a lot of things.
For example, the reason why she did not give instructions to the Thorny Clam during the Cangming Conference was because the Thorny Clam would not listen to her.
As for Laplace, perhaps because of her gentle personality, she will listen to Demi more.
After a long silence, Heimer spoke gently.
Chi Haimo: "So, you want me to help Rebecca quit the color craze?"
Demi: "Yeah, yeah, I know you've dealt with color fever a lot. So... I'm going to participate in this glam contest on purpose, but I was too tired before, so, um, anyway, please..."
Although Demi's past made Heimer feel very sad, but... after all, Color Mania is not an illegal organization now, so Rebecca's choice is actually not a problem in Heimer's opinion.
But looking at the sister in front of him who could be broken at any time, Heimer couldn't bear to say anything to refuse, but he really couldn't help her.
Chi Haimo: "I'm sorry, Miss Demi, I can't help you. I have dealt with Color Mania a lot, but Rebecca and I don't have much intersection, so I'm sorry..."
After hearing this, Demi didn't cry or make a fuss. Instead, she immediately put on her standard fake smile and spoke gently to Hammer.
Demi: "Well, sorry, I was abrupt. Well, I hope you can keep our conversation today confidential."
Chi Haimo: "Well, okay, I promise you."
