BSBD | Chapter 16

A child named Clover was born without the family’s special power. Because of this, she was left at her mother’s family, where she grew up suffering under her cruel aunt and cousin. "It’s okay, Clover! Don’t be discouraged!" Still, Clover didn’t lose heart. She believed that one day her father would come to take her back. [August 2, sunny. Aunt got angry again. She told me not to tell Dad.] So Clover kept a diary to show her father when he returned, and practiced powers she didn’t even have, all in preparation for that day. But… "Daddy, when are you coming?" The abuse from her aunt’s family grew worse, and no matter how many pages of her diary she filled, her father never came. Clover, who had firmly believed her father would come for her, began to wonder if she had truly been abandoned… until— "Clover, Daddy’s here." Her father appeared. Just the way Clover had always longed for him to. Her cruel aunt had always told her: “Clover is useless, her power is worthless. Even if she goes home, she’ll be hated.” But— "Even if you had no power, I would have loved you just the same. Because you are my daughter." With a father who was far kinder and more loving than she expected— "Pea, want to sit by me? Should I feed you? I’ve been waiting so long to finally meet my little sister." —with two older brothers who warmly welcomed her home, "Clover, no one can hurt you. Not as long as I’m here." —and even a slightly overprotective but caring older sister, who treasured her deeply. Surrounded by her loving family, Clover began to think: maybe her aunt was wrong!
