Chapter 4

Author: Orange Isle
Derek immediately released his hold on me and rushed over to Daphne to catch her before she hit the floor. His face was filled with heartbreak and regret.

Dominic rushed up to her as well. After checking her condition briefly, his expression turned grave.

"Get her to the emergency room now!"

They picked her up and rushed off immediately without giving me another glance.

I silently returned to Daphne's hospital room and found the scalpel lying in the corner. Derek's blood was still on it.

The System appeared in my head just then.

[Autumn, your initial mission progress is now at 60%! Would you like to try resuming the old mission again?]

[No. I give up.]

I shook my head and cleaned the scalpel with a rag. Then, I slipped it into my pocket. I just wanted to find a corner to leave this world quietly.

I was just about to step back out of the room when I bumped into Dustin, Dominic, and Derek, who were hurrying up to me.

Dustin looked at the bloody bandages on my neck, his eyes glinting with a complex expression.

"They told me what happened," he said. "I can let you come home with us and return the true heiress title to you."

I didn't speak, waiting for the catch.

"However," he continued in a low voice, hesitating for a while. "To the public, Daphne will still be Derek's twin. Her identity will not change. As for you, you will be known as… the new kid the Fletcher family brought back."

I scoffed in my head.

In other words, he was only giving me a perfunctory title while still making me out to be the illegitimate daughter to the rest of the world. This was even more insulting than trying to turn me into a fake heiress.

Before I could reject his offer, he suddenly added, "There's one more condition."

I looked at him and asked calmly, "What is it?"

"Daphne got a huge shock today, and her heart failed. She needs a transplant at once."

Dominic, who was dressed in a doctor's coat, spoke up behind Dustin. "You're the perfect match for her."

I was stunned. "So?"

"You don't have to be afraid. Medical technology is very advanced now. We'll give you an artificial heart to sustain you after the surgery, and you won't be in danger afterward. We'll then use all of our resources to find you a suitable donor."

I laughed angrily.

"If there are artificial hearts, then why don't you just give one to her?"

Derek got anxious at once. He condemned me in an accusatory tone, "Daphne's body has a special constitution! She's allergic to all sorts of metal, so she can't use an artificial heart!

"You're the one who ruined her life. Now that her life is in danger, you'd be literally forcing her to death if you refuse to save her with your heart!"

I clutched my throbbing forehead and took a deep breath. Finally, I couldn't take this any longer. "Fine! You want my heart, don't you? I'll give it to her!"

The three of them smiled in relief as soon as they heard me say that.

"Once the surgery is over, we'll announce to the public—"

But, a split second later, I took out the scalpel in my pocket and stabbed it right through my heart. Blood splattered onto their faces.

I cackled and said, "The heart you want is right here. Come and get it!"

As I collapsed, the three of them staggered as they rushed up to me.

  • Ninth Hypnosis: The Real Daughter Walks Away   Chapter 10

    After I was discharged, the Fletcher family driver came to pick me up from the hospital. As soon as I got in the car, a cloud of smoke overwhelmed me, and I passed out.When I came to again, my body felt limp and weak as I lay sprawled across the back seat of the moving car.Through the rearview mirror, I met the cold, ruthless gaze of the family driver, Robert Huffman.I calmly raised my eyes to meet his, asking, "Who put you up to this?"He ignored me. He kept driving until he finally stopped the car at an abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere.Robert roughly grabbed my arm, yanked me out of the car, and dragged me into the warehouse.Inside, the person sitting there waiting for me was Daphne, as I expected.Robert walked over to her with a fawning look and said, "Daphne, I've caught the wretch who stole your identity!"Daphne slowly walked toward me, her eyes filled with hatred. "Autumn, why did you have to come back? Your very existence is the knife that threatens me

    Finally, I heard the System's anxious voice.[Autumn, you're finally awake! You were hypnotized for the ninth time while unconscious. After waking up, you completely forgot about me. Your brain blocked out my voice too. I was so worried!]The next second, I saw the game mission panel that the System pulled up. I was shocked to discover that the progress bar had actually reached 96%."What happened?" I asked the System.[You were critically injured and on the verge of death. Your brothers are now consumed by regret. You're only 4% from completing the mission and claiming the billion-dollar reward. Once you complete it, you can choose whether to stay here or return to your original world.[Oh, right. They never actually gave your heart to the fake daughter. You mean far more to them now than Daphne does.]I found it utterly ironic. Was this how they planned to make up for their regrets after hypnotizing me against my will?What was even more ridiculous was that they still kept Dap

    After letting out a sigh, Harold also turned and left.I slowly opened my eyes, catching only a glimpse of their figures fleeing in a hurry.I had been sleepwalking. Last night, I was certain I had fallen asleep in the bedroom. Yet today, I had somehow woken up in this storage room.What was even stranger was that everything in this room felt deeply familiar, as if I had lived here for years.When my brothers came rushing over just now, I had instinctively closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. The moment their eyes fell on the old scars on my wrists, they recoiled slightly as though they had been burned. Their faintly trembling breaths and the way they had ultimately fled also left me questioning whether I really was a daughter of the Fletcher family.I reached under my pillow and pulled out an ordinary-looking textbook. When I opened it to the first page, I saw the name "Autumn Fletcher" written boldly across it. It was done in my handwriting.So I really had lived here b

    While washing up that evening, I discovered another strange detail. My palms were covered in thick calluses, as if I were used to hard labor.But I was the pampered daughter of the Fletcher family. Who would dare make me work?There was also a large burn scar on the back of my hand, along with a series of deep and shallow cuts across my wrist.I had no memory of these scars at all.As I lay in that unfamiliar bed, I tossed and turned for hours. It wasn't until the sky began to lighten that I finally sank into deep sleep.The Fletcher household was thrown into chaos the next day. By lunchtime, I still hadn't appeared at the dining table.My brothers went to my room looking for me, only to find it empty. Even the bed was cold, which meant I hadn't slept there the night before.Remembering how I had been desperate to die before, they couldn't help but panic.Dustin, his face ashen, ordered someone to check the surveillance footage. However, the footage showed that I hadn't left th

  • Ninth Hypnosis: The Real Daughter Walks Away   Chapter 6

    I had a very long dream.I dreamed that my name was Autumn Fletcher, and I was the heiress of a very wealthy family. My parents died early, but I had three elder brothers and a younger sister.My eldest brother, Dustin Fletcher, was the head of the Fletcher family.My second eldest brother, Dominic Fletcher, was the top cardiovascular surgeon in the entire city.My third eldest brother, Derek Fletcher, my youngest sister, Daphne Fletcher, and I were the youngest triplets in the family.My brothers loved me very much. However, both Daphne and I were born with a congenital heart disease, and I had also just undergone a very risky surgery not too long ago.I was very happy in my dream. However, my family members' faces looked like they were shrouded in mist, making it hard for me to see them clearly.I tried to focus my eyes on them, but suddenly, all I saw was blood everywhere.I then jerked awake violently.The smell of disinfectant hanging in the air told me that I was at the

    I didn't know if I was dead. However, my soul detached from my body and floated in the air. I watched with cold eyes as Dustin, Dominic, and Derek practically tripped over themselves, rushing up to me.Derek looked the worst of all. He clutched a hand to his chest as his facial features contorted in great agony, looking as though he was the one whose heart had been pierced by a sharp blade instead.He collapsed over my body, desperately trying to stop my bleeding wound with his hand, crying and pleading in my ear over and over."No, don't die! I didn't mean it! I don't want you to die!"However, the blood wouldn't stop gushing out from the wound, dyeing his hands red and pooling on the floor in a frightening manner."Dominic! Save her!" Derek wailed, clutching at straws as he looked at Dominic with bloodshot eyes.At that moment, Dominic's hands, which were usually very calm and steady even during the goriest and most difficult surgeries, trembled violently. He shakily reached
