Sisters Before Misters

Monica reached over and held my hand.I shook my head at her. “It’s okay. I’m not afraid of pain.”The truth was that it did hurt a lot. However, compared to the pain James caused me, this was nothing.When it was just the two of us in the hospital room, Monica tried to comfort me. “Those two are a perfect match—both scumbags! Don’t waste your energy on them!“Oh, and guess what? Lucas actually called me to say he made seafood boil! I’ve told him at least a thousand times I’m allergic to seafood! And I broke up with him. Is there something wrong with him?”I laughed. “He just doesn’t care. He’s never paid attention. If it were someone else, you’d see the difference.”Monica sighed in agreement. “Yeah, forget him. Not worth talking about.”Then, she pulled out her tablet to show me a video. “Hey, I’ve been watching this really funny TikToker lately. He goes around interviewing random people and gives them all kinds of crazy-flavored gummy bears. It’s hilarious!”She quickly foun

Seeing this, Veronica was stunned. She rushed to James’s side, her eyes filled with concern as she looked at his face. Then, she turned to me, her voice sharp, "How could you do that?! The moment James heard you were hurt, he came rushing to check on you, and this is how you repay him—by hitting him?""I wasn’t the one who started this! I didn’t even invite either of you here."I flicked my hand dismissively and stared at him. James’ lips twitched, the corner of his eye tightening. The slap mark was still clearly visible on his face.I glared at him. "James, you get the memo? Now get out. I don’t want to argue with you anymore."I had made it clear they needed to leave, but surprisingly, they still did not move. There was now a flash of anger across James’ face. However, the commotion had caught the attention of Dr. Reynolds, who stepped into the room.He looked at me, his face serious. "Didn’t I tell you to keep your emotions in check? Look at your monitor. It’s about to

Monica had just come back from grabbing some food and getting her bandages changed when she overheard the conversation and immediately spotted the two people everyone was talking about. She flung the porridge in her hand. “You cheating scum! How dare you show your faces here!”Veronica screamed as the porridge splashed on her. “Are you crazy?!”“Crazy? Yeah, maybe I am! You said you had a stomachache that day, right? Too bad it didn’t kill you!“James, while Amelia was practically dying in that fire, what were you doing, huh? You were doubting she was hurt, so what’s with the act now? Stop pretending to care!“Get out! Both of you, leave!” Monica's voice echoed down the hospital corridor, and everyone around turned to stare.They watched as Monica yanked Veronica out of the hospital room, leaving her looking completely humiliated. Even James stood there, stunned.However, instead of being angry, he said, “I’ll come back another time.”“We don’t need you coming back! You’re

"Don’t come again. I’ll be discharged tomorrow."I looked at James. His face was pale and defeated. "No… No!"I smiled slightly. "Let’s end things on good terms and let each other go, or you’ll regret it."In the past, I was the one stuck in my own head, constantly competing with Veronica for attention. I used to believe the loudest person got what they wanted, but now I understand. Why should I need to cry to get my way?I was who I was. There was no reason to devalue myself for anyone, and there was certainly no need to cling to someone who did not appreciate me. If one guy did not like me, there were plenty more out there.I could not change who I was.However, James did not understand. He thought I was throwing a tantrum and was ending things because I was heartbroken. The truth was that I just wanted to be myself. Whoever James chose to be with was his business.Seeing he was not going to let go, I did not hesitate. I pulled out photos of his engagement and called h
