Chapter 18: Thoughts on the Riverbank on the Edge of Despair

At the age of 16 or 17, young people indulge in the speed and passion of racing, or pursue the gentleness of love, or use unique marks - smoking, tattoos, lip piercings, to show their personality. But Edward chose to protect a little girl by his side, like a treasured pearl, doting on her, giving her whatever she wants, and being inseparable.

The "little trash" abandoned by the Smith family became a little princess in his eyes, carefully nurtured and growing strong. Victoria talked about the abandonment in the past, and there was no ripple in her heart, because Edward had healed all the scars for her. However, her inner worries were like an undercurrent - she was being pushed into the abyss of losing Edward by an invisible force , unable to extricate herself.

She once wondered if the "virus" hidden between the lines of the love letters written by those girls to Edward infected her, making her develop strange feelings for this brother. In the indifference of the world, it was Edward who gave her a warm home. If one day, this reliance also leaves her, where should she go?
