Where We Part Chapter 9
Carter wheeled me into a hospital room. I waited quietly for Simon and my parents to arrive.Mom and Dad came in slowly, each dragging their feet."Kyla, do you still blame us? We had our reasons for what happened back then."Through the window, I watched as the police led Zoe away. Even then, she shot me a resentful look.Suddenly, I didn't feel much of anything.During the procedure, I'd thought that if I came out and my parents finally knew the truth and apologized to me, I wouldn't have a single kind word for them.But what they'd done to me was already in the past. There was no point spending the rest of my life trapped there. Not for me or them.The obedient, understanding Kyla Reed I'd once been was already buried in the past, along with the daughter they'd imagined me to be.I shook my head calmly, letting them know I didn't care anymore.But I still handed them the declaration cutting them out of my life. They stared blankly at the words on the page, unable to say any

"She was eighteen. If she hadn't been taking care of you, her SAT score would never have suffered the way it did."Dad and Mom went deathly pale, their hands and feet numb with cold."Didn't Kyla do badly on the SATs because she went on vacation?""Zoe, you lied to us!"Zoe gave a stiff, bitter smile. "How was I supposed to know you'd actually believe me? Besides, you've always spoiled me. What difference does it make which daughter took care of you?""Of course it makes a difference!" Mom screamed through her tears. They spilled onto the floor as pain tore through her chest.If Zoe hadn't spent years turning them against me, they never would have accused me of expecting something in return without ever giving anything."Mr. Hanson, where is my daughter now?""Is she okay? She's not going to die, is she?"Just then, Dr. Sullivan emerged from Dr. Pierce's office. He stopped when he saw the group arguing outside. "What are all of you doing?""Doctor! Please, save our daughter!"

When Dad and Mom heard the recording, their vision went dark, and they nearly fainted.Zoe clung to them, crying hard, unable to hide the triumph on her face. "Why would Kyla do this? Mom, Dad, it's okay. At least you still have me!""Ms. Zoe Reed, since we're on the subject, I'm formally notifying you that my client intends to report you for the attempted murder of her and the deaths of her three unborn children."Zoe's face changed instantly. "You're lying! Kyla would never dare!"The next second, Carter pulled up the number-one trending story.[Shocking: Younger Sister Tries to Kill Older Sister for Love, Family Helps Her Change Her Face and Deceive Sister for Five Years]The moment Zoe saw it, she nearly stopped breathing. "Turn that off! It's all lies!"Carter gave a cold snort and shoved Zoe aside. Then he played the video.The opening footage showed the moment Zoe had deliberately caused my miscarriage.Zoe shook her head frantically. "No! No! Don't play it!"But Simon

Simon had waited outside that room for nearly an hour. How could there be no one inside?As he tried to make sense of it, Mom and Dad hurried over, supporting each other."Si, what happened? We heard something happened to Kyla."Simon's lips parted. All his former arrogance had vanished, leaving only regret. He stared at the older couple in front of him.Suddenly, he remembered something I'd once told him."I know Mom and Dad favor Zoe. They always have. But she was born with health problems, and I'm her older sister. Of course, I have to look after her. She's still immature. She doesn't understand love or relationships. Si, please don't hurt her."It was true. Simon had been the one who suggested sending Zoe to Vardonia. Back then, he'd genuinely hated her.But my parents had gotten down on their knees and begged him to reconsider. They proposed bringing Zoe back after plastic surgery so she could make amends. Only then had he agreed.Thinking about everything that had happene

"What D&C?" Simon froze."A D&C without anesthesia! A pregnant woman can't undergo that procedure. Isn't that basic common sense? Performing one on someone who's pregnant isn't something to take lightly!"What kind of family members are you? You knew she was pregnant, but you didn't even sign the necessary consent forms beforehand!"This is a matter of life and death. I'm reporting this to the hospital director, Dr. Pierce, immediately. You'll have to deal with the consequences yourselves!"Dr. Sullivan was so furious that he didn't even remove his scrubs before storming toward Dr. Malcolm Pierce's office.Simon was completely stunned.Pregnant?Wasn't Kyla permanently infertile? How could she possibly be pregnant?As Simon's expression grew increasingly grave, Zoe waved dismissively. "It's fine, Simon. The doctor didn't even say her name. How could he possibly be talking about Kyla?"Did you forget? Five years ago, it was your family's private medical team that confirmed she

I left.When I got home, I packed all my things. Before leaving for good, I opened the nursery that had been locked for five years.After I'd lost our three babies, Simon had locked it because he was afraid I'd fall apart.The door opened, and I froze.The solid wood crib I'd personally commissioned from a carpenter was piled high with Zoe's designer bags and clothes. The photo wall I'd created for our babies was now covered with intimate pictures of Zoe and Simon.I opened a drawer. It was supposed to contain the recovery guide Simon had written for me after my miscarriages.Instead, I found something titled "Notes on Zoe." The entries began on the day of my first miscarriage."July 20. Kyla miscarried. I fell in love with Zoe."My fingers trembled uncontrollably.So while I'd been suffering through the agony of losing my baby, he'd fallen in love with the person responsible. My legs felt impossibly heavy, but this time, I walked away without hesitation.All night, Simon and
