"I'm here, what do you want to say!"
I stand beside the hospital bed, staring coldly at the frail Megan.
"You look hideous, truly nauseating." Megan eyes my slightly swollen face with disgust, but her disdain soon gives way to arrogant triumph. "Avery, your days are numbered, aren't they? When Evan found a kidney suitable for both of us, it's a pity there was only one, and he didn't hesitate to give it to me. You've loved him for so many years, yet you mean nothing to him. You've gained nothing, haha..."
Her words stab at my heart with ultimate humiliation.
My face is ashen. Evan has always been so cold and ruthless toward me.
"Do you know why your parents were kidnapped and killed? It was me. I arranged for your parents to be kidnapped and tricked Evan into going abroad with me. Their rescue failed, and they were killed. Evan knew about it afterward. He was worried I would be implicated and had the kidnappers dealt with." Megan laughs boisterously.
The words of the police echo in my mind, 'The kidnappers have been silenced, all leads have broken down, your parents' case can no longer be investigated.'
My face turns pale, I stagger a few steps and manage to steady myself by holding onto a table, my eyes shooting hatred towards the person on the bed.How can this woman be so evil!
"Why, why did you do this to my parents? What did they ever do to offend you?" I scream at Megan, filled with hatred.
Megan's face is cold, her voice filled with loathing, "Ever since I entered the Lawrence family, I tried to please your parents in every way, but they were always just polite to me. No matter what I did, it couldn't change the fact that I was an outsider. If I couldn't have their love, then I would destroy them."
"I will kill you to avenge my parents."
I rush forward, my hands grasping Megan's neck, squeezing harder and harder. I watch as her face turns from red to pale, the hatred in my heart blinding me as I try to strangle her, to kill the murderer of my parents.
As Megan's struggles begin to weaken, and her eyes start to close, I am yanked away forcefully. I fall against the table, hitting my forehead on the corner. Blood immediately gushes out, staining half of my face. My current appearance must be truly frightening.
Megan lies in Evan's arms, her hands clutching her neck, crying and coughing, her face full of terror, pitiful and endearing.
"Avery..." A voice filled with hatred and disgust resounds, his face fierce, "You dare to take Megan’s life, I should have never let you off so easily."
I lean on the table, slowly stand up, and wipe the blood from my face. Through the blood, I look at Evan, seeing him as a blood-red devil.
I scoff, pointing at the feigned damsel and say through gritted teeth to Evan, "I want her life, and yours too.
Let me go? Since when were you ever so kind, Evan? I didn’t know.
The pain you've inflicted on me, I will remember for a lifetime. Even if I died,I will haunted both of you as a vengeful ghost."
"Avery, it seems only prison is suitable for you."
Evan's cold, merciless voice rises. I am terrified, that place shakes me to my core. I would rather die than spend another moment there.
While Evan's attention is mostly on Megan, I escape from the hospital.
