I Won't Go Back To My Family Who Abandon Me

Episode 17

***

It was another sunny day as usual.

It had been a while since Leticia had been outside. She decided to go for a walk to cool off when she spotted Elle in the garden.

She approached her with a cheerful smile, but Elle was drawing something with her head down.

"What are you drawing?"

"...."

"Miss Elle?"

"Ahh!"

Leticia had tapped her lightly on the shoulder and startled Elle, who quickly hid her paper behind her.

She immediately saw that it was Leticia and sighed in relief.

"Miss Leticia? You surprised me."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Am I disturbing you?"

"No! Not at all!"

Elle shook her head vehemently saying, ˜This is not the case at all'. But she was still busy checking to see if there were any other people around.

"Are you alone?"

"Yes, is something wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

Finally, Elle's expression relaxed and she slowly got up from her seat. In her hand was an unfinished picture.

"What are you drawing?"

"Oh... this?"

When Leticia looked at her curiously, Elle glanced at her drawings.

Elle seemed to be thinking about something for a while, and then carefully put her index finger on her lips.

"It's a secret from my brother, but I'll show you if you promise to keep it a secret."

"Yes, I understand."

Elle only showed it to Letisha after she agreed to keep quiet.

"This is..."

What Elle drew was a number of accessories.

"Did you draw these yourself?"

"Yes, what do you think?"

Elle asked, looking at Leticia.

Elle was more nervous than she thought she would be, it was probably because it was the first time she had shown her drawings to someone.

Leticia was looking at the pictures carefully with Elle next to her, who had a worried look on her face.

"So cute and pretty!"

"Are you sure it's pretty?"

"Yes, I'd love to see your designs made."

Leticia said as she looked at the drawings.

She could feel Elle's sincere care in the drafts she drew. They were so beautiful that they could've been made into real jewelry right away.

Leticia looked at her with expectant eyes, but for some reason Elle avoided her gaze with a troubled expression.

Leticia didn't seem to notice Elle's troubled face and pointed to one of the drawings.

"What's this? It looks like a gold thread bracelet."

"Oh, that?"

Elle's expression became bitter.

"I couldn't get a gold thread bracelet for my brother's entrance exam, so I drew one instead."

Elle thought it would be okay if she gave him a drawing, but she was worried that people would mock Enoch. So in the end she couldn't muster up the courage to give it to him.

"Come to think of it, I forgot to thank you."

"What?"

"My brother told me; ˜Miss Leroy gave me a gold thread bracelet.'"

She was grateful to Letisha for giving such a precious item to Enoch.

"I really tried everything to buy a bracelet, but I couldn't get one."

Thinking about it, she felt conflicted.
