Chapter 1450 The Light and Color in Her Dark Life
Beryl climbed up to the fourth floor in one breath. There were two houses on each floor of the old- fashioned
building. When she knocked on the door, then her uncle Jamal opened the door.
Seeing her standing outside, he politely welcomed her in. "Beryl."
"Uncle Jamal." Beryl greeted politely. After taking off her shoes at the entrance, she looked at her aunt in the living
room. "Auntie."
"Back already?" Auntie's attitude was a bit cooler compared to her uncle's. After all, they were family, and the
relationship was closer, making her displeasure at Beryl's arrival more evident.
Beryl knew they didn't want her to come, and though their child was staying in a boarding high school, there was
still a place to live. Having one more person around was probably inconvenient.
Beryl understood all of this. After all, she was the one inconveniencing them, and having a place to stay was already

So, she didn't take it to heart. Even though she was young, she wasn't delicate. As soon as she came in, she offered
to help pour water, saying, "Auntie, my dad is in the hospital during this time, so I'll be bothering you and uncle."
"It's no trouble. We're family. What's there to be polite about?" Jamal waved his hand and handed her a banana, not
taking the more expensive orange beside it.
The orange was more expensive, probably couldn't bear to give it to her.
But Beryl wasn't planning to eat it either. She politely accepted it and placed it aside, saying, "I usually stay at
school or the hospital. I eat in the cafeteria, and I only come back to sleep at night. There's no major problem with
my routine. You don't need to worry."
"What's there to worry about? The only thing I'm concerned about is whether we can take good care of you. Your
mom might worry."
"It's okay." Beryl smiled, "I'm grown up now; I can take care of myself."
"That's good then." It seemed like he was waiting for her to say that. He immediately said, "Your aunt and I work
busily all the time. Sometimes we will go to the hospital to see your dad. If there's any inadequate hospitality,
please don't mind."
"I won't." Beryl knew her aunt had something to say, but she also understood that she was the junior, so she
remained polite without showing any sign of anger.
Even though she was deeply annoyed inside.
When their daughter needed help in Brigt City in the past, it was their family who took care of her. Now, when she
needed a place to stay, there were so many complaints.
People, indeed, made a difference.
After chatting for a while, her aunt brought her to the temporary room she would be staying in.
Beryl had brought some daily necessities with her and quickly tidied up after she was done. She also washed the
sheets and covers she had taken off.

Beryl's aunt quickly nudged him with her elbow, signaling him not to talk.
Beryl pretended not to see it and continued with her work. She had been feeling a bit low, but after finishing up and
returning to her room, seeing the message Marcellus sent, all the gloom in her heart dissipated.
The feeling of being despised by others, but in front of him, he had always been the princess in the palm of his
hand. It was like a high wall built around her, which could block all the harm from the outside world.
That man, he made her stronger and more composed.
She was no longer the Beryl who used to live her life cautiously, guarding her self-esteem. She had transformed
into a strong Beryl, capable of facing these unfavorable situations on her own.
A good relationship could make each other grow, and Beryl suddenly felt grateful for meeting Marcellus in this
ordinary and even somewhat treacherous life.
He always said he was the light and color in her dark life, but he didn't know that, to her, he was also such a
presence.
