When I woke up again, I was lying in a hospital bed.
The wounds on my hand and face had been treated.
I asked the nurse who brought me in.
The nurse thought for a long time, only saying it was a gentleman with mobility issues.
I didn’t ask any more questions, just lay in bed staring blankly at the ceiling.
Mia Sterling’s texts started buzzing in.
Most of them were pictures.
“Sis, sorry about this, but since your room has the best lighting, I’m gonna use it as my study from now on.”
“Mom helped pack up your stuff. She wasn’t sure if you still wanted it, so she just tossed it!”
The pictures showed my dresses, jewelry, and books all thrown together in a messy pile.
Even the love letters Ryder Kane had written me during his teenage years were torn up and scattered aside.
Actually, my adoptive mother had been good to me for over twenty years.
But ever since Mia was adopted a few years ago, everything changed.
So when she found out I wasn’t her biological daughter, she was the happiest of all.
I didn’t reply to any of Mia’s messages and blocked her.
I’d be leaving soon anyway.
But the next second, my phone’s special alert tone went off.
A message from Ryder Kane.
“You’ve got ten minutes. Get your ass to the hospital.”
The location was exactly where I was now.
I didn’t reply for barely ten seconds before Ryder’s messages started flooding in.
“Don’t pretend you’re not looking at your phone.”
“Get over here now. Mia’s got stomach pain.”
“If you’re not here in ten minutes, you’re dead.”
I turned off my phone and the world finally went quiet.
The next moment, my hospital room door was violently kicked open.
Seeing me lying in bed covered in wounds, Ryder froze for a second.
He quickly snapped back to reality, stepped forward, and yanked the IV needle out of my hand.
A drop of blood splattered onto his chiseled face.
“You used to stick to me like glue, now you’re switching tactics? Think I’ll go easy on you out of pity?”
Ternal Remorse!
I leaned against the headboard, covering my bleeding hand.
I looked at him with unprecedented calm.
“I don’t need your pity.”
“Ryder Kane, you don’t want me, and I don’t want you anymore either.”
Ryder acted like he’d heard the joke of the century.
He pulled his lips into a mocking smile.
“Cut the act. You think I don’t know what you did to Mia this time?”
My eye twitched.
“I’ve been in the hospital this whole time. What could I have done?”
But Ryder just sneered.
“Think you can hide the fact that you had someone trash her room?”
Before I could explain, he yanked me up.
He dragged me to Mia’s hospital room.
The moment I walked in, several people pinned me down.
“Ryder Kane, what the hell are you doing?”
Ryder ignored my struggles and questions.
He sat by Mia’s bed, gently holding her and rubbing her stomach.
“Does it still hurt?”
Mia’s face was pale as she leaned against him.
“Much better, but Ryder, I’m so scared. I have a blood disorder, and I bled so much during my period this time. Am I gonna die?”
She looked at me with teary eyes, malice hidden in their depths.
“I guess I can’t really blame my sister for trashing my room. I get it, but it just makes me so sad, and when I’m sad my stomach hurts…”
Ryder waved his hand.
A man in a white coat approached me with a syringe as thick as a baby’s arm.
I trembled and backed away, but the hands holding me gripped my shoulders so tight I thought my shoulder blades would shatter.
“Ryder Kane, what the hell are you doing?!”
Ryder’s expression was cold and indifferent.
“It’s all your fault for making Mia sad. She already has a blood disorder, and since you made her lose blood, you’ll replace it with your own.
As he spoke, the thick needle was already piercing my arm.
I immediately felt my whole body go cold.
“I’m the one with the blood disorder! Don’t you remember? You used to give me blood transfusions…”
Ryder looked dazed for a moment, memories stirring in the depths of his mind.
But then he heard Mia sobbing.
naturn Eternal Remorse!
“My stomach hurts so bad. Am I dying? Ryder, will I still be able to marry your
He snapped back to reality, his eyes ice cold.
“Keep drawing. Draw exactly 999 milliliters, to bless Mia and my marriage with lasting lover
