Something flew through the air, crashing into the ground in a bloody mess.
I dry heaved, but I couldn’t scream, only shedding silent tears.
With a loud “bang,” the rooftop door was kicked open.
Aaron frantically untied the tie and hugged me, apologizing repeatedly.
Harper snatched the bracelet from my wrist and put it on herself. “Only I can be the Green family’s daughter–in–law. A fool like you wants to be the young mistress of the Green family?”
Aaron said nothing.
The emotions from earlier slowly faded as I pushed Aaron away, my legs weak as I turned my head and staggered out, my body still trembling violently.
As soon as I got home, I developed a high fever and fell into unconsciousness.
In my dream, sometimes I saw the scene of my parents dying in front of me, sometimes I relived the bullying by Harper, and sometimes Aaron stood up for me.
Suddenly, the scene changed.
It turned into Aaron pressing my head against the railing, forcing me to bark like a dog.
In a half–conscious, half–awake state, I pulled out my phone and dialed an international call, my voice
faint and weak, “I want to go abroad.”
The door suddenly burst open.
Aaron seemed drunk, the strong scent of alcohol hit me as he threw off my blanket and reached for my
clothes.
The fabric tore apart, and I struggled to stop him.
It seemed like he suddenly sobered up. His rough hand slid down from my collarbone. “Silas, even if you stripped naked and lay in front of me, I wouldn’t have the slightest interest in you, the daughter of a
murderer.”

But you.”
His teasing gaze lingered on me, and the next second, he grabbed my hand. “I’m not saying I wouldn’t accept you helping me solve my problems.”
The moment he touched me, I immediately turned my head and dry–heaved a few times.
His eyes, bloodshot, yelled at me, “Silas, can’t you have any other emotions toward me?”
The door slammed shut.
I closed my eyes, tears falling onto the blanket, my hand touching my aching heart.
It’s okay, Silas, you’ll be leaving soon.
The next day, as the sun rose, I heard Harper’s voice. She had taken my place and was sitting in my seat.
She sneered when she saw me. “Little fool, I heard you’re good at making fried eggs? Want to make me
one?”
I shook my head, trying to leave.
Aaron grabbed my wrist and ordered, “Silas, you’ve been living off the Green family for twenty years, what’s so special about making one meal?”
I glanced at Aaron, then turned and entered the kitchen.
In just ten minutes, I made two fried eggs and respectfully brought them to Harper. She pretended to
pour water.
Hot water splashed onto the back of my hand, and the pain made me furrow my brow.
Aaron panicked, quickly grabbing my hand and running it under cold water. He then grabbed some ointment from the medicine cabinet and froze mid–action when Harper screamed, “Aaron, it hurts.”
He immediately released me and rushed to patiently blow on Harper’s fingertips, his gaze fixed on me.
“Aaron, if you kiss me, I won’t feel the pain anymore.”
Harper hugged his neck and suddenly kissed him fiercely. I endured the bitter pain in my heart and turned, hailing a taxi to the hospital.
The doctor said my illness was cured, and now all I needed to do was socialize more with strangers.

Hearing this, I lowered my eyes. For the past twenty years, because of my illness, I had been clinging to Aaron’s side.
But now…
I touched my chest, and my phone suddenly vibrated.
I opened the screen, and my breath caught. I gripped the phone tightly,
I ran out of the hospital in a frenzy.
But when I returned home, it felt as if a thief had broken in. Our family’s rare full family photo had been torn to pieces, and my mother’s belongings were in disarray.
She was still wearing the ring my mother had left on her finger.
I felt like a mad lion, rushing to grab it.
Harper sneered, pushing me forcefully to the ground.
She grabbed my hair and slapped me across the face. “You think you can stop me from entering your room without Aaron’s permission?”
“Give it back to me…”
I hadn’t spoken for a long time, and when I finally did, my voice was hoarse, a taste of blood rising in my
throat.
“What’s going on?”
Aaron’s impatient voice suddenly rang out. I instinctively looked at him, silently pleading that, for the sake of these twenty years, he would help me.
But he didn’t.
He only sat on the sofa watching the show. “Silas, apologize to Harper, and this matter will be over.”
My eyes turned red with anger, and I grabbed Harper’s neck with all my strength.
Her neck quickly bore the marks of my grip.
Aaron pulled me away, his voice cold, “Silas, apologize.”

I took a deep breath, my eyes full of hatred. “Give me the ring back.”
He looked at me with shock in his eyes.
With a casual motion, he took the ring from Harper’s hand and placed it before me. “Silas, kneel down and beg me.”
I bit my lip until it bled.
I panted heavily, slowly kneeling before him. When my forehead touched the ground, tears began to fall.
Aaron suddenly grabbed my neck, raised his hand, and threw the ring out the window.
