Melody In Darkness

The next day, Maggie really came. "You guys chat, I'm going to go buy some vegetables first." There was the sound of the front door closing, indicating that Wilson had left.

Maggie sat beside my bed attentively, "Eren, how are you?" She held my hand, and it was sweaty. Maggie was always worried if I wasn't feeling well. When she took my hand, I smiled.

Maggie was wearing the protection bracelet that I had given her when I went to the shrine to pray for her safety. Of course, Wilson also had the same bracelet. However, at the moment, only a sense of tension and fear arose in my mind when I thought of her.

I approached Maggie and whispered, "Maggie, can you help me?" Maggie was still wiping her tears, it seemed that my baby's miscarriage concerned her greatly. "What can I do for you?"

"I feel something is wrong with Wilson. Can you help me go to the police?"

Maggie was surprised to hear it and stopped her crying, "What do you mean? Isn't Wilson very nice to you."

I explained, "I don't know why he committed the murder either. I also know the person who was his victim."

"You know... Wilson has a little brother?"

Maggie was silent for a moment. "I don't know," she replied hastily after a moment. She seemed to be shaking her head.

"Haven't you always wondered why Wilson always wears a big raincoat in the house? Actually, it's because... he's a Siamese twin."

"Wilson calls his brother Nelson. He has no legs and is attached to his back."

Maggie could only sigh. "Really?"

"I was surprised, too. Recently, when my eyesight suddenly recovered, I saw it by accident. However, I can't see anything anymore now. It seems like she gave me medicine."

My sadness deepened, "Why did I have to be so unlucky? After being harmed and going blind, I thought I found true love. Turns out he's a murderer."

Maggie held my hand which was also trembling. Whoever heard this story must have felt scared. "Eren, why did you go blind? Can you tell me what happened before?"

I reminded her, "Maggie, we should report this to the police immediately. I'll tell you everything later."

Maggie replied, "Don't worry, I've already reported it to the police."

"What? Did you report?"

"Yes, I just sent a message to the police station. Now, we just have to wait for them to come."

I immediately let out a sigh of relief, "Good. Then, I'll tell you about it while waiting for the police to arrive."

At the thought of Laorencia's body that might still be hidden in the house, fear and relief washed over me. I told Maggie about everything that had happened to me since the beginning.

Five years ago, I was in college. My origins are from a village. When I was a child, my father who worked as a building contractor died after falling from a height. Because the owner of the project was dishonest, we only got a few tens of millions in compensation. Fortunately, we only had one child in our family, so even though my father was gone, my mother's burden wasn't too heavy.

However, my happiness was short-lived. When I was in the third grade of high school, my mother suffered a brain hemorrhage due to exhaustion. She had a stroke and could no longer work. Remembering the suddenness of my father's death, I passed up the opportunity to enroll in a major university and chose to attend a local university so that I could care for and accompany my mother. With a government subsidy, I rented a house near the campus so that I could take care of my mother while studying.

At that time, I met Laorencia. The first time I heard her name was when the school organized a donation drive for the flood disaster that happened in one of the places in our country that year.

I contributed twenty thousand, being the smallest donation. Laorencia donated fifty million. I never imagined I'd be friends with a rich kid like her.

However, she was the first to approach me. That day, when I was about to leave for work, I was approached by a girl, "Friend, I have something to say."

I saw a girl in branded clothes appear in front of me. She immediately said, "There's a friend of mine who likes you a lot, he wants to ask you out."

Perhaps because of my decent looks, there were indeed a few men who tried to get close to me since college. However, I never paid any attention to them. I just wanted to study well, while working and taking care of my mother. So, I immediately rejected Laorencia's offer.

I made it clear that I didn't want to date at the moment, and I asked him and his friend not to spend any time near me. However, they continued to follow me around like gum that was hard to let go of in the next few days.

They confronted me under the school building several times. They told me not to leave and mocked me in public. I've forgotten the name of the boy who taunted me that time. He was also a rich boy like Laorencia. I hated them so much. However, Laorencia said arrogantly, "Don't you need money? If you go out with my friend, the monthly money he gives you is enough to last you for years."

That's what made me hate them even more. I never expected that my firm refusal would not bring me peace, but instead torment me even more.
