Chapter 8

作者: Rohes
On the last day of the Christmas holidays, I was packing my luggage when there was a knock at the door.

“Trish, it’s Dad.”

I hesitated for a moment before opening it. He stepped inside, glancing around the house naturally, then took a pair of house slippers from the shoe rack and put them on.

“It’s still the same here. Do you remember? There used to be a swing here.”

He walked to the corner of the living room and tapped lightly on the table again and again.

    Not long after, my overseas paperwork was fully processed. I pushed my suitcase through the airport and had just finished checking in when, suddenly, hurried footsteps came rushing from behind.“Trisha!”Before I could even turn around, I was pulled tightly into someone’s arms.“Trisha, don’t go. Don’t leave me.”I struggled hard and broke free, turning around and lifting my arms to stop him from getting closer.“Trisha…”Justin stood there. His usually perfectly styled hair was a mess, his jaw was unshaven, and his red eyes were filled with panic and despair as he looked at me.“Please don’t go. Let’s go home, okay?”“Go home?” I found it ironic. “Which home are you talking about? The one you share with Dawn?”“No! It’s not like that.” He shook his head. “I’ve cut things off with her. You’re the only one I love!”I scoffed. “Didn’t you say you’ve liked her since you were a child? After all these years, you’re just going to cut it off like that? You’re really ruthless, aren’t

    On the last day of the Christmas holidays, I was packing my luggage when there was a knock at the door.“Trish, it’s Dad.”I hesitated for a moment before opening it. He stepped inside, glancing around the house naturally, then took a pair of house slippers from the shoe rack and put them on.“It’s still the same here. Do you remember? There used to be a swing here.”He walked to the corner of the living room and tapped lightly on the table again and again.“When you were little, you saw that the other kids had swings at home, so you insisted I get one for you too. But later you changed your mind and said you wanted it gone, and instead demanded that huge teddy bear be placed here.”He let out a small, helpless laugh.“You always liked lying on it–”“What are you here for?” I cut him off.His body stiffened slightly, but he didn’t turn around. After a long silence, his voice came out choked with emotion.“I was wrong. I’ve neglected your feelings the past few years. I didn’t

    I opened the door beforehand and stepped forward, stopping the relatives from entering the house.“Merry Christmas, everyone. Please, just listen to me for a moment.”I didn’t bother with small talk. Instead, I climbed up onto the edge of a flowerbed and raised my voice.“Today, I, Trisha Fowler, will cut all ties with my family!”The announcement came so suddenly that everyone exchanged confused looks.“Huh? What’s going on?”“Trisha, what happened? Just have a good talk with your dad.”I took a deep breath before further explaining, “Dawn, my stepsister, has hated me since childhood because she thought I took her dad away. And so she teamed up with her childhood friend and my ex-fiancé, Justin, to deceive me for five full years.”“What? Justin?” one cousin exclaimed. “Isn’t that Dawn’s boyfriend?”Without hesitation, I posted everything into the family group chat—the screenshots I had taken from Justin’s phone, along with the record of returning the engagement gift I had sen

    “I didn’t do it!” Dawn shouted before turning and storming off in a rage.Lisa quickly grabbed Ben and chased after her. Dad stood there for a moment, hesitating. In the end, he said nothing at all. He just sighed and walked away, too.With only Justin in the hospital room, he reached out, as if he wanted to touch my head. However, I dodged him immediately, irritated.“Does it hurt?” Did it hurt? Of course, it hurt, but what hurt more was my heart.I said coldly, “I don’t need your care.”“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.” His head lowered as he choked, “I really didn’t expect her to do that.”“You didn’t expect it?” You grew up with her as childhood friends. And you’re telling me you didn’t expect it?”“I really didn’t…” He grabbed my hand again. “You know me. I’ve always stood up for you before!”“Stood up for me?” I shook his hand off without hesitation and sneered, “When she pinned me down, where were you? When everyone was blaming me, where were you?”It was true. Once upon

    I spent three days in the hospital, and no one called. My pathetic pride kept me avoiding them in the halls, but somehow, I was still found.“Trisha? What are you doing here?” Justin grabbed my arm, his face full of surprise. “Your head…?”Then, as if something suddenly clicked, he froze.“I was the one who pushed you that day…”I didn’t want to deal with him. I just wanted to leave. However, he followed me all the way to my bed.“I’m sorry. I didn’t notice at the time.”I sneered. “Of course you didn’t. Your attention was on her.”At the mention of Dawn, he sighed, his brows knitting together.“Then why did you steal Dawn’s necklace? If you’d just handed it over back then, it wouldn’t have ended like this.”I clenched my teeth and said, “I’ll say this one more time. I didn’t steal it.”Over the past few days, I had finally figured it out. I never even went into her room, so how could the necklace have ended up missing? The one explanation was that when she stopped me upstair

    “You wouldn’t dare!” I shouted as I hugged my arms tightly and staggered backward.She kept closing the distance. “Why wouldn’t I?”Justin rubbed his temples and stood up, reaching out to stop her. “Enough. Don’t do this.”Her gaze flicked between him and me, and then suddenly, realization dawned on her face.“Oh, I get it now. “That necklace? Justin gave it to me.”She hooked a finger into the hem of his shirt, toying with it as if she owned him.“You’ve been pursuing him for so long. Now that he’s about to get married, you’re trying to steal something as a keepsake?”All the blood drained from my face. My whole body trembled uncontrollably as I said, “That’s a lie!”Instinctively, I looked at Justin. He froze for a moment and then slowly withdrew the hand that had been holding her back. Right then, Lisa came downstairs. The moment she saw the scene, she hurried over, trying to smooth things over.“I’m so sorry, Trish. Don’t blame your sister. This is all my fault. I’m gettin
