As | reached the doorway, someone opened the door for me, and | stepped inside.

The house was grand. It gleamed white like something out of a fairy tale palace. The landscaping in the courtyard was beautifully

manicured, with a veranda at one end and a white swing gently swaying in the breeze.

| could almost see a girl in a red dress sitting on it, her laughter echoing in the courtyard, while a handsboy pushed her higher

on the swing. She soared like a bird, high into the air.

The boy was handsome, exuding an aura of elegance.

The girl excitedly shouted, "Higher. Can you makego higher?"

As | turned around, | saw a gentle woman sitting on the veranda, watching us from afar.

| heard the girl's voice ring out, "Mommy, am | high enough?"

She just smiled, not saying a word.

The woman got up to leave, and | quickly looked away from the swing, hurrying to catch up. | felt a genuine fondness for her.

She was just ahead of me, heading toward the villa's greenhouse. It was a large glass structure bathed in sunlight, looking

absolutely radiant inside.

It was filled with exotic flowers and plants, and | gazed around curiously.

Finally, | saw her by a large pond, quietly observing the lotus blooming there. They were pale yellow with golden stamens.

"Stella."

| thought | heard her call out, and | couldn't help but run over.

She asked me, "Do you like it?"

| nodded with a bright smile. "It's beautiful. Why do you like the lotus flower, Mommy?"

"Because they symbolize harmony, purity, and light. They are the embodiment of all things beautiful." She opened her hand,

revealing a miniature yellow lotus.

"What's this?" | stared at the lotus in her hand.

It was made of inset rubies carved into the shape of petals that were intricately mounted on a base. The entire flower was

exquisitely crafted and lifelike, sparkling in her palm, its priceless value evident.

"It's a brooch. Do you think it looks real?" She looked atand asked gently.

The affection in her gaze madefeel particularly warm, and | wanted to move closer to her.

She pulledover and pinned the lotus brooch to my dress. It shimmered brilliantly against the backdrop of my white dress.

Feeling exceptionally beautiful, | ran out of the garden while calling for my father.

| saw the gates open again, and a car drove in. Several people got out. Their faces were a bit blurry to me, but | still called out to

them, "Do | look pretty?"

| ran back into the house, still shouting, "Atlas, cquickly."

The group walked into the hall, and | kept calling out to them, rushing inside.

In the side hall, there was a white piano that gleamed, like my mother said.

My hands danced across the keys, and | felt truly happy.

But suddenly, everyone disappeared, and | saw my mother crying.

She put the last piece of chocolate in my mouth. It was so sweet.

Then, she placed the brooch on a stack of beige cloth with words on it, wrapped it up, and put it in the box.

"Mommy, why are you putting it away? Aren't you going to wear it anymore?" | asked her.

She closed the lid, then took out a thick white candle and placed it over the fire. Soon, the wax melted, and my mother allowed it

to drip over the box.

| looked at her actions in confusion, and asked anxiously, "Mommy, what are you doing? Why are you doing this?"

She didn't answer me.

Her tears streamed down her face, sdripping onto her hands. | could almost feel her pain, and | noticed that her hands were

red from the hot wax.
