Semua Bab When the Other Woman Heard My Heart: Bab 1 - Bab 9

"Just give Eliana the blood transfusion. We don't need it."A weak voice dragged me back to reality. Shouldn't my younger sister, Kyra Wood, and I be wretchedly waiting to die in that tin shed? Why were we here?I glanced at the three people lying on beds in the emergency room. All of them were as pale as ghosts, and Kyra was tugging on my arm, crying noisily. I realized that I had been reborn. I had returned to the moment when Anthony Stone, Callum Gray, and Eliana Sullivan were rushed to the hospital for emergency care. My husband's childhood friend, Eliana, was frowning, tear-glazed eyes shimmering as she looked at him and my brother-in-law, Anthony. "Cal, Ant, how could I possibly let your wives donate their blood to me? I'm a useless person anyway. Just let me die."Eliana's face was streaked with tears, and she seemed to be having difficulty breathing as she choked out the words. It sounded as if she would die at any moment. "How could you say that? We grew up togeth

Eliana, Callum, and Anthony were doing well, so they were discharged very quickly.Anthony was busy with his farm. Callum was a captain in the navy, and he had been stationed on an island for quite some time. I stayed with him there, so we returned to the military barracks as soon as he was discharged.While I worked, I thought to myself, "It's almost Thanksgiving. Since Callum's been discharged safely, we should invite the soldiers under his command to celebrate."Those young soldiers are so far from home. While everyone else is celebrating, they're stuck here protecting us. This is a good opportunity to celebrate with them."At that point, I turned to look at Callum, who was sitting on the couch.Before I could speak, I saw a touched look on his face."Callum, shall we ask the troops over for dinner during Thanksgiving?"Callum lowered his head and chuckled. "You can decide."He didn't say much, but he clearly approved of the idea.Therefore, things were settled.Unexpect

Before I could figure things out, Callum said in a low voice, "Eliana isn't the little girl I grew up with anymore. Perhaps things had already changed by the time mine and Anthony's family were falsely accused. Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan were doing their best to get help for us, but Eliana went to report us and cut ties with us."I've always kept Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan's kindness to us in mind, and I kept telling myself that Eliana was just too young at the time. It was natural for her to be afraid in a situation like that. I didn't realize that she was no longer the kind, innocent little girl she once was."Callum paused and pushed me away so that he could look into my eyes. "Sophie, perhaps the heavens are giving me a hint. They gave me a chance to hear your thoughts. Otherwise, who knows how many misunderstandings there would have been between us?"I couldn't help but sigh as I saw the redness in his eyes.I looked into his eyes and asked seriously, "If you hadn't heard my thoughts, w

It was a familiar voice, and I couldn't help cursing inwardly when I heard it. I thought, "She's here again… I'm standing right here, and she's acting as if I'm invisible. She's only got eyes for Cal."Callum heard my thoughts and put his fist to his lips, but I could still see a smile break out on his face. He turned to look outside when he saw how annoyed I was. "Didn't I tell you not to come to our home again?"Eliana's eyes turned red, and tears began rolling down her cheeks at once."Cal, what did I do wrong? Why must you all treat me like this? Ant told me not to go to his house again, either. Is it because Sophie and Kyra don't like me? Is that why—"She paused and looked up piteously at me.I couldn't help thinking to myself, "Who would like a woman who's trying to seduce their husband?"Callum heard my thoughts, and his expression flickered. "If there isn't anything in particular, you should go. Don't call me 'Cal' in the future, either. It sounds too affectionate

The next day, things went on as normal. Callum told Anthony about our plan and what we had deduced. We didn't tell Kyra in case she could not resist rushing up to fight it out with Eliana. The three of us ate dinner distractedly, after which I pulled Kyra back to my room to sleep.Callum and Anthony crouched in the corners of the yard, waiting for Eliana to fall into our trap.I lay on my bed as I listened to Kyra snoring beside me, but I couldn't help feeling nervous. What if I had guessed wrongly?Luckily, Eliana did not disappoint me.In the middle of the night, there was a commotion downstairs."Let me go! Let me go!"It was Eliana's voice, and when I heard her, I could no longer resist. I got out of bed. The noise had woken our neighbors, and the yard was already packed with onlookers. Eliana was sitting on the ground, looking even more pitiful than usual under the dim orange glow of the lamps. "Cal, what did I do wrong? Why are you and Ant doing this to me?"It w
