Not in Our Stars Chapter 24
In an instant, five men appeared out of nowhere, pouring gasoline all over the floor.Five bottles of gasoline were poured, nearly covering the entire orphanage.The sharp smell made Shirley's stomach turn."Wh-what are you doing, Myra?""Can't you see?" Myra waved a lighter in front of Shirley. "I'm burning this place to ashes. I'm gonna burn you alive! Then I can forget the past and finally become the only daughter of the Bishops!""No, calm down!" Shirley shouted.Myra flicked the lighter, ready to throw it down, but a yell came from behind her.Oscar and Jamie arrived almost at the same time. When Jamie saw the flame dancing in Myra's hand, his heart skipped a beat."Myra, what are you doing? Let her go!""You're all here, huh?" Myra laughed. "Good. Let's see if you'd risk your lives for Shirley!"She released her grip on the lighter."No!"The gasoline ignited instantly. Flames swallowed the orphanage, surrounding Shirley in a wall of fire."Cough! Cough!"Smoke chok

Night had fallen when the servant brought in Shirley's herbal soup.Shirley frowned and said with a pout, "I don't want to drink it tonight. Can I skip it just this once?""But Mr. Bishop ordered us to make sure you take it every night. You know your health isn't great; you should drink it."Shirley sighed, pinched her nose, and reluctantly drank it.Afterwards, the servant placed a candy in her hand."Mr. Watson told me to give this to you."Seeing the candy, Shirley felt the bitterness in her mouth ease a little. "Where is he?" she asked."Seems like something came up outside. He went to check it out." The servant closed the door behind her. "Get some rest."No sooner had the door shut than Shirley began to feel dizzy. She shook her head, but the room blurred, and the next second, she lost consciousness.When she woke up again, she found her hands and feet bound, and a black cloth covered her eyes, leaving her completely in the dark.She struggled a few times, but her wrist

Not long after Shirley and Jamie left, Myra came rushing over.She didn't even give a nod or greet Shirley even though they crossed paths. She stormed straight into the ER.Shirley didn't pay her any mind and walked away with Jamie."Shirley, Shirley…"Myra stepped inside, just as Oscar was calling Shirley's name.She was furious, but she held herself back."Hey, Oscar.""What are you doing here? I don't want to see you!" The moment Oscar saw her, his expression changed completely. "I need to see Shirley! Is she outside? Why won't she come in?""Heh, who do you think you are? Wake up! Shirley already left with Jamie! Even if you were dying, she wouldn't give you a second glance!""No, that's impossible! I have to see her!"He ripped off the IV from his arm, threw back the covers, and tried to get out of bed.But when he rushed into the hall, it was empty. Shirley was gone.At that moment, reality hit him hard.Shirley really didn't love him anymore.Before, even a minor i

Seeing the man nearly beaten to death, the manager finally stepped out cautiously."M-Mr. Miller, please let us handle this. We'll make sure you're satisfied."If Oscar kept hitting him like that, the guy would probably be paralyzed, if not dead."If anyone can just waltz into Cloudcrest Lounge, then you might as well shut the place down." Oscar stepped off the man, kicking him hard. "Now get lost."The two guys didn't hesitate. They scrambled away as fast as they could.The manager noticed blood still running down the back of Oscar's head and asked anxiously, "Do you need a ride to the hospital? You're hurt pretty badly."Before he could finish, Oscar collapsed onto the floor."Oscar!" Shirley jumped, panic flooding her chest. "Call an ambulance! Now!"Oscar was rushed into the ER. Shirley sat on a hallway bench with a frown, her heart pounding.It wasn't long before a deep voice cut through the tense quiet."Shirley!"She looked up and, seeing Jamie, ran straight into his

Everyone froze, and the private room went completely silent.Oscar slowly lifted his eyes to look at the woman in front of him, only to see a burning hatred blazing in her gaze."Wake up already! I'll say this one last time—I don't love you, and I don't have any feelings for you! I love my husband, Jamie! He's the only one for me, now and forever! If you keep harassing me, we won't even be friends!"George and Theo exchanged a glance. They'd never seen Shirley this furious before."Have I made myself clear?" Shirley asked, her voice sharp."I don't believe you." Oscar shook his head, unwilling to accept it.Shirley wiped her hands and tossed the tissue into the trash."I don't care whether you believe me. I won't stop you if you wanna keep being delusional. But from now on, consider us strangers!" she spat before walking away.Oscar tore himself from Theo and George's grip. "Don't go!"Shirley ignored him, pressed the elevator button, and walked in.By the time Oscar reached

Jamie was away on a business trip, and Shirley was just sitting around, wondering how to pass the time, when George called."Yo, Shirley. Are you free tonight?""Why are you asking?""Tonight's my birthday, and I'm holding a party at Cloudcrest Lounge! Are you gonna show up, for old times' sake?"From the background came Theo's teasing voice. "Now that you're married and all, you probably won't hang out with us anymore, huh?"Shirley actually got along pretty well with these two. They were a bit immature compared to Oscar and Jamie, but she considered them her close friends.In her past life, when the Bishops faced some setbacks, these two were always the ones who helped her again and again."Of course, I'm going to George's birthday party! Cloudcrest Lounge, right? I'll dress up and be there."Cloudcrest Lounge was the favorite hangout for Anteford's rich crowd—a place for fun and relaxation, all in one. The first two floors were for entertainment, the third and fourth for pri
