Family’s Regret After I Left

At some point, I had fallen into unconsciousness.In my hazy sleep, I dreamed.I dreamed of middle school, when my article was published in the Medical Journal. The first time I showed my healing gift by saving a dying wolf's life.When I rushed home with the exciting news, my family just scoffed. They even mocked me, saying it was pure luck. Only my mother would listen with appreciation and approval as I described the various healing techniques I'd used.I was curious and asked if she understood healing arts too.Mother shook her head, her voice gentle as spring water:"Mommy doesn't understand advanced healing spells or herbal knowledge, but Mommy knows my daughter is the most excellent person in the world. Whatever you do, I'll always be proud of you."I remembered that afternoon for years afterward.Now I'm a renowned healer throughout the pack, having saved countless werewolf lives.But the person who used to stroke my head and praise me was gone forever."Mama..."When I woke up,

My eyes filled with mockery.Now that my heart was completely dead, I had no expectations left for Damien.I calmly spoke three words: "I understand."But Ethan stared at me in disbelief."You're Damien's fiancée, and even though you've never fulfilled your responsibilities or properly cared for the pack members, he still put up with you. Is this all the feeling you have for him?""Sister, you've been so strange ever since Mom died.""Sera nearly died because you upset her this time, and you haven't said a single word of concern about her even now.""I know what this is about. You resent Sera for taking away the family's attention from you. Deep down, you're probably hoping she'd just Die, aren't you?""Sera is just an Omega. All she wants is to have a family. Why can't you tolerate her? Why do you have to be so jealous of her? When did you become so vicious?"Hearing this, I suddenly felt like laughing.If Sera really wanted to kill herself, how could she have ended up with just minor

I wasn't ready to tell him the truth."I'm feeling a bit tired. I'm planning to leave for a few days, just to visit some nearby places. I won't go far."I showed him the travel guides I'd been browsing.Seeing that I was telling the truth, Damien finally relaxed his grip on me."That's good then. I told you that you wouldn't be so petty. It's just one healing antidote research project. For someone with your abilities, that's nothing. As an older sister and my future mate, it's only right that you look after Sera, this Omega sister of yours. Don't worry about missing this chance to become Head Healer—you can just create another breakthrough next time."Just then, his phone rang. It was Ethan calling from the hospital."Damien, where did you go? Sera woke up and when she found you weren't by her side, she started hurting herself again. Her wound opened up and she's bleeding a lot. You need to come quickly."Damien rushed toward the door, but still turned back to remind me:"Go ahead and

I ignored everyone and retreated to the attic—this small space that belonged solely to me—to treat my wounds alone.After finishing everything, I lay on my bed, staring blankly at the night sky stained with ink-black darkness.I wanted time to pass quickly.I wanted to escape this cold-blooded family immediately.---Over the next three days, the Blackwood family threw themselves into passionate preparations for Sera's discharge party, simultaneously celebrating her official appointment as the pack's healer.Father truly adored her. He even announced plans to formally adopt her, saying she was a hundred times better than his own daughter.But throughout my entire life, my family had never participated in any of my milestones—my education, my work, my first shift. Ever since Mother died, I'd endured all these major life events completely alone.On the day of Sera's celebration party, Father wore an expensive custom-tailored suit for the first time in years.He treated this day with incr

"Damien, don't go!"Sera's sudden scream shattered the party's noise like breaking glass.To stop Damien from leaving, she deliberately stumbled and crashed her barely healed wound against the carved table corner. The wound that had almost closed tore open again, blood flowing down. Yet she stubbornly reached toward Damien's retreating figure.The crowd parted like a tide, leaving only the clear sound of blood drops hitting the floor.When Damien turned back, he met Sera's blood-soaked eyes—those peach blossom eyes that always held traces of laughter were now filled with tears. Her lashes were sticky with blood, her pale lips stubbornly repeating broken words:"Damien, don't leave me. You're all I have. I'll do anything if you just come back..."Seeing Sera's condition, Ethan couldn't help but cry."Her body still hasn't recovered. The healer said she's developed depression from excessive guilt and emotional instability. If she gets stimulated again, she might hurt herself worse.""I'm
