Chapter 6 When I opened my eyes again , I was lying in a hospital bed , alone , the sharp scent of disinfectant stinging my nose . The moment I remembered Lily was still in critical condition , I yanked out my IV without hesitation and rushed straight to the nurses ' station . " Where's my daughter ? " I demanded , ignoring the pain shooting through my body . Burnt and bandaged , I dragged myself to her room as fast as I could . The moment I saw her face , my heart almost burst from relief - she was still alive . But the joy lasted only a second . Lily was hooked up to a ventilator . Her breathing was shallow and slow , the rise and fall of her chest barely noticeable . She was hanging on by a thread . My fists clenched . My entire body trembled with rage . Nathan . Tessae . I would make sure they died painfully . Just then , I heard a familiar voice behind me . Fake - sweet and laced with malice . " Well , well ... I was wondering who it was . Turns out it's you , Vivian . " I turned around slowly . Tessae and Nathan stood in the doorway . When I saw Tessa , I could barely hold myself back from charging at her and tearing her apart . She was the one who made Lily eat seafood porridge , and because of her , Lily was now on a ventilator . Tessa caught the fury in my eyes and pretended to be scared , dramatically collapsing into Nathan's arms . " Nathan , Vivian's look is so terrifying , I'm scared ! " Nathan shot me a glare , then lovingly reassured Tessa . " Vivian , enough ! Why are you attacking Tessa ? She's been taking care of Lily day and night . Do you think Tessa wants to take care of your useless daughter ? Who even cares ? " I looked at Nathan's disgusting face and could barely contain my disgust . " Is that even a human thing to say ? Lily's struggling to breathe , and you call that ' taking care of her ? " As I spoke , I showed him the burns on my body , the scars from the explosion . Tears welled up in my eyes . " I was in that sauna for three hours , my skin melted off , I looked like a monster . The sauna couldn't take the heat , and I was blown out by the explosion . The fact that I'm alive to see Lily is a miracle . " " Nathan , the one I hate the most right now is you ! " Nathan , for the first time , saw my battered state and looked confused . He glanced down at Tessa in his arms , Tessa shook her head , feigning , ignorance . " What's she saying ? I don't know ... " Before she could finish , I lunged at her and slapped her hard . This woman was the reason my marriage fell apart , why Lily was on her deathbed , and she almost killed me too . All of this misery was Chapter 6 because of her . She deserved to rot . Tessa was stunned , and Nathan quickly reacted , kicking me into the corner . " Vivian , are you out of your mind ? How dare you lay a hand on Tessa ? You think you're alive just because you're lucky ? That's all Tessa's mercy on you . " He snorted in disgust . " Since the sauna didn't teach you any lessons , someone , throw her in a volcano . This time , let's see if you finally learn respect . " Just as Nathan finished speaking , he felt something cold press against his head . A male voice rang out behind him . " Oh ? Who are you planning to throw into the volcano ? "
