The Day My Survival Score Reached Zero Chapter 11
When the Program told me I could return, I felt no joy.Only emptiness.The next time I opened my eyes, I was staring at a white hospital ceiling. Machines beeped beside me, and my throat burned as if I had been asleep for years.A nurse saw me wake and rushed over.“You’re safe,” she said. “You were caught in a dockside explosion. Sophia Lane didn’t survive.”My fingers tightened against the sheet.Sophia was dead.Before I could speak, the nurse added, “There was another survivor. A young man named Luca. He woke up this morning.”The door opened then.Luca stood there with a cane, pale and thinner than before, but alive. When our eyes met, he smiled faintly.“This time,” he said, “maybe we really are the leads.”I stared at him for one second, then reached for him with trembling hands.He came to me at once.I held him tightly, and the tears I had not been able to shed in that world finally fell.Later, Luca told me everything.In the real world, he had been my university classmate.

Luca looked at Dante without pity.“Now you remember you’re her brother?” he said. “You were the one who signed the papers that locked her away.”Dante flinched.Luca turned to Julian. “And you were her doctor. You knew better than anyone that she was ill, but you let Sophia make you call it manipulation.”Julian said nothing.Finally, Luca looked at Adrian.“She stayed beside you when the Moretti ambush nearly killed you. She spent the only reward the Program ever gave her to save your life, and you thanked her by putting her ring on Sophia’s hand.”Every word landed like a blade.I saw guilt on their faces at last.Pain too.I did not know how Luca had learned so much, but I was grateful. He had given me freedom before I died, and now he had given me the truth after it.None of them left that night.Dante sat beside my body with an old music box from my childhood, winding it again and again as if I might wake for the sound. Julian stayed by the window with my medical file in his hand

For a moment, Dante looked like he might collapse.His eyes were red, and his hand hovered near my face, but he did not dare touch me.Luca held my body and looked at him coldly.“You didn’t protect her. You locked her away until she had no room left to breathe.”Dante’s voice was hoarse. “I was trying to keep her alive.”“You were trying to quiet your guilt.”Dante said nothing.In the end, Luca brought me back to the Bellandi house.Mother fainted the moment she saw my body. Doctors rushed her upstairs, and I followed without thinking, even though no one could see me anymore.She kept calling my name.I wanted to tell her I was sorry, but I could not touch her, could not wake her, could not stay with her the way she had stayed with me.I was never meant to belong to this world forever.When I returned downstairs, Dante was kneeling beside my body.“Bella,” he whispered. “Wake up.”I had wanted him to care for so many years.Now I only felt tired.Julian arrived next.He stopped at th

Luca had been my hidden target once, the one I never managed to approach. Back then, every time I tried to get close, he disappeared. Sometimes I saw him with Sophia, sometimes I found him watching me from across a room, but he never stayed long enough for me to ask why.So I gave up on him and chose Adrian instead.Now he drove through the sleeping city with one hand on the wheel, his stolen orderly’s badge lying on the dashboard. The streetlights slid across his face, and for a moment he looked exactly like the boy I used to know: quiet, distant, carrying a tenderness he refused to let anyone see.“I’m sorry,” he said. “I came too late.”“It’s fine,” I said.It was more than fine.Because he had brought me out.Because now I could finally leave.I asked him to take me somewhere open, somewhere that did not smell like disinfectant or locked doors, so Luca drove me to the lakefront before dawn. The city was still dark, the water black and calm, and the wind moved through my hair like i

I thought Dante would choose me this time.For one brief second, his eyes softened, and I almost believed he still remembered I was his sister. But then he looked away.“Bella,” he said, “no one who needs help thinks they need it.”My heart sank.“We’re doing this to keep you alive.”So I was sent to a private recovery residence under the Bellandi name, the kind of place rich families used when they wanted illness hidden behind clean walls and quiet staff. My room had sealed windows, soft corners, no mirror, no lock, and a camera that watched me without blinking.A nurse stayed outside all day. If I sat up, she asked what I needed. If I stared too long at the window, she stepped closer. If I closed my eyes, someone came in to check whether I was still breathing.I had never been so trapped.I begged the Program in my head.“End it for me.”【Isabella, I do not have permission to terminate your life. After mission failure, you must complete the exit yourself.】Even death had rules.That

Before I could reach the door, Mother rushed in.Her coat was buttoned wrong, and her hair looked much whiter than I remembered. She stopped in front of me, eyes red, voice shaking.“Bella, don’t leave me.”I froze.“Mom,” I whispered. “Why are you here?”“Dante said you were sick.” She held out her hand, careful not to touch me too suddenly. “He didn’t say you were trying to disappear.”That word made my chest ache.In this world, she was the only person who had loved me without needing proof.I went back to the bed because I could not bear to see her cry.Dante arrived soon after. When he saw Mother beside me, relief crossed his face before anger covered it.“So now Mother has to beg you too?” he said. “All because Adrian married Sophia?”Mother looked up sharply. “Dante.”He fell silent.Adrian and Julian stood behind him, both watching me like they finally knew I might break, yet still could not understand why.Mother stayed with me through the night. She held my hand, spoke softly
