Chapter 5

Author: Jasmine Flower
At the hospital, Edwin suddenly felt a wave of anxiety for no reason. His hand trembled as he poured a glass of water, and the glass slipped, shattering all over the floor.

"What's wrong? Are you burned?"

Kelsey hurried over and checked his hand with concern.

"I'm fine. My hand just shook... I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling. I'm worried about Stephanie. I need to go home and check on her."

My face appeared clearly in Edwin's mind.

He called me several times, but all his calls went unanswered.

"Can you please not go? I'm all alone in the hospital. I'm scared..."

Kelsey grabbed his hand, trying to stop him from leaving.

My father and Denton had just left the hospital not long ago.

Edwin hesitated. "Alright. I'll stay with you a little longer."

Every minute after that felt like torture.

He was visibly restless, distracted, and clearly on edge.

Seeing him like that, Kelsey sent me several more text messages, full of insults.

But I never saw any of them.

    All of this happened because of Kelsey's lies.If not for her lies, he wouldn't have mistaken her for me, and I wouldn't have been heartbroken enough to leave."Stephanie's gone. She doesn't want me anymore. Are you happy now?!"Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Denton and my father quickly stepped in to stop Edwin.Aside from Kelsey's sobbing, the room fell completely silent.All of three men had tears in their eyes.Regret and pain were written all over their faces.No one knew how much time had passed.Eventually, Denton spoke first. His voice was hoarse from crying."I-is Stephanie okay? Do her burns still hurt?"He wanted to text me, but he suddenly realized he didn't even have my number."Edwin, I slapped Stephanie yesterday. Is her face still swollen? Did she put ice on it?"My father broke down again. From the moment he found out the truth until now, just a few hours had passed, but he looked like he'd aged years.He kept seeing that hurt and heartbroken

    Denton's eyes burned red as he glared at Kelsey. "You're the one who killed Mom, aren't you?!"He broke down in tears, though it was hard to tell whether it was grief over our mother's death, guilt over how I'd been mistreated all these years, or the sight of me being bullied in that video.Maybe it was all of it.My father stepped forward and slapped Kelsey again.This time, he didn't hold back. "You've been pretending for years and made us hurt Stephanie again and again. You're so cruel!"For a moment, Kelsey snapped out of it. Panic flashed in her eyes.She hadn't expected me to show that video to them.But she quickly pulled herself together."I don't know what you're talking about! What do you mean I killed Mom? What pretending? Did Stephanie go crying to you again, telling lies about me?"She started crying like she was the one being wronged.If there hadn't been video proof, they probably would've believed her. But now, no matter how she tried to twist the story, it wa

    It was still dark out when the door suddenly burst open.Smack!Denton and my father stormed in, and without warning, I got slapped across the face."Stephanie! Kelsey was trying to help by giving you a massage, and you kicked her? Don't you know she's still recovering from being sick?"Tears streamed down my face. Watching my own family rush in and scold me without bothering about the truth hurt worse than the slap itself.One day, if they found out that it was Kelsey who caused my mother's death, would they regret what they did to me today?"You killed your mother the day you were born, and now you want to kill Kelsey too? How can you be so cruel?"My father's words hit me like a storm. He raised his hand to slap me again, but maybe it was the way I looked, crying in silence, that made Denton hesitate.Denton caught his arm and said softly, "Dad, she's still pregnant. Let it go."My father frowned but didn't stop. He kept going."Even if Kelsey accidentally hurt you during

    As I watched how gentle he was, a bitter feeling rose in my chest. He must've only learned to be this thoughtful because of taking care of Kelsey.I glanced at him and swallowed the calcium tablet."Are you guys asleep?" Kelsey called from outside. Before either of us could answer, she pushed the door open.She was holding a bottle of massage oil and smiling sweetly."Stephanie, you're pregnant, and pregnancy can cause swelling. I just learned a therapy technique. Let me give you a massage."I frowned and shook my head. I didn't feel close enough to Kelsey to be okay with her giving me a massage."Is it because you don't trust my technique?" Kelsey looked hurt and turned to Edwin with a pitiful expression. "Edwin, I know Stephanie doesn't like me much, but I really mean no harm..."Edwin gave me a warm smile and pinched my cheek lightly. "Kelsey was worried she was intruding on us by staying here, so she wanted to do something helpful. Just let her give you a massage, okay?"My

    I stayed in the hospital all day, but Edwin never showed up.The next day, after I checked out by myself, I passed the VIP ward and saw something that cut deep.Denton and my father were right there with Kelsey.One was feeding her fruit, the other flipping through channels to find her favorite comedy movie.Meanwhile, Edwin was talking seriously with her doctor about her treatment plan.Kelsey tugged on Edwin's sleeve and pointed at a box of chocolates. Edwin unwrapped it and gently fed her one.Watching that warm, perfect scene felt like a knife to the heart.They looked like a real family, while I was just someone who didn't belong.I remembered the time Kelsey and I were both hospitalized with pneumonia when we were little.Denton and my father stayed by her bedside the entire time, taking care of her like she was the only one who mattered.I was alone in a cold hospital room. No one checked on me. I was so thirsty that my lips cracked and bled. It wasn't until a nurse wa
