Chapter 6 LIK Thanks to my constant injuries , I developed a high fever that wouldn't go away . I was unconscious for three whole days . During that time , I had a long , vivid dream . \ The dream was filled with warm light . In it , I wasn't lost . My parents never adopted Adeline . They loved only me , their precious daughter . Brian was still the same boy who used to crouch outside my door every morning , waiting to walk me to school . THE Later , he confessed his love and told me he wanted to marry me in a beautiful garden full of roses . At our wedding , he held my hand and promised me forever . After we married , we had a sweet , lovely child . The three of us were a happy , perfect family . [ But in the next moment , everything changed . The warm light suddenly went out . My parents ' smiles turned cold . Brian's hand that was once so warm became icy and distant . The three of them stood at the edge of a cliff , laughing cruelly as they pushed me down into the darkness below . I woke up with a sharp gasp , my chest heaving . My eyes flew open to an empty hospital room . " My body felt weak and heavy . My shoulder throbbed with pain as I slowly pushed myself up , my arm numb and trembling . With great effort , I pulled out the IV needle and slid out of bed . As I stepped into the hallway , I heard hushed voices coming from the nurses ' station . " Look at those two young ladies from the Wyatt Family . Their lives couldn't be more different . " } "I know , right ? Adeline only had a few minor injuries , but her parents stayed by her side every day and Mr. Herbert never left her for a second . Meanwhile , Lilian was seriously hurt and no one even came to visit her these past three days ... " Their whispers were crystal clear , cutting into my heart like a blade . My knees went weak for a moment , but I steadied myself against the wall . It made me not to hesitate . After that , I walked slowly to the nurses ' station while holding on When I returned to the Wyatt mansion , ito the wall for support before I signed my own discharge papers . I was eerily quiet . I went straight to my room and began packing . There wasn't much . It was just one small suitcase . That was all I had left . After I finished , I went downstairs to get some water . Just as I reached the living room , I heard the sound of laughter outside . They were back . My parents entered first , carefully supporting Adeline as she limped inside . Brian followed close behind . His eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at her . The four of them chatted happily as if nothing had happened . When they saw me , Brian's steps faltered . For a brief second , I caught a flash of heartache in his eyes as he noticed my pale face . But before he could speak , Mum rushed to me , her voice sharp and full of blame as she confronted me , " Lilian , what's wrong with you ? Why didn't you tell us you were being discharged ? Do you know how worried we were about you ? " Dad immediately added , " Adeline already explained what happened . She said she lost her balance that day and accidentally dragged you into the fire . Out of guilt , she pushed you away to save you . She didn't mean it ! " " And you ... you're being ungrateful , leaving the hospital on your own and throwing a tantrum ? " Adeline lowered her head , her expression pitiful and weak . But at the corners of her lips , there was a subtle , triumphant smile . It was a smile meant only for me to see . She looked at me like a victor claiming her prize . 1 stared at them all and suddenly laughed bitterly . " " Worried about me ? So worried that during my three - day coma , you only cared about Adeline and never once came to see me ? " % My eyes shifted to Adeline as I coldly said , " Adeline , this time you're claiming you ' lost your balance ' again ? You really do change your excuses quickly . " / This time , I looked at them coldly . I was no longer the obedient girl they used to know . I coldly warned them, " Watch your precious daughter carefully . If she dares to lay a hand on me again , I won't hold back . If I'm not happy , I won't let her be happy either . " After that , I turned and walked up the stairs . I didn't even look back at their shocked and furious faces . This house . These people . They were no longer worth a single moment of my time .
