Semua Bab From Now On, I Spoil Myself: Bab 1 - Bab 10

After every transfusion for Stella, Holly needed several days to regain her energy. This time, it was no different.For the next few days, the Websters stayed at the hospital to take care of Stella, leaving Holly alone at home.As Holly stepped out of her room with her mug, a box came flying toward her, striking her and leaving her seeing stars. She couldn't even see who it was.The pain felt all too familiar. She didn't even need to think. Obviously, the newcomer was her dear mother, Mary."Holly Webster, what the heck are you doing? Why didn't you read our texts? Are you doing this on purpose? Ignoring us to make Stella mad? You ungrateful girl! We raised you in vain!"As Mary hurled out insults, Holly wiped the blood from her forehead, took out her phone, and opened her chat app.Only then did she notice the texts they had sent in the group chat early that morning. Apparently, Stella was getting discharged today, so they wanted her to make Stella's favorite chocolate cake to w

Oscar whipped his head around, his gaze turning anxious. "Holly, what's going on?"Holly's heart skipped a beat. In her rush to deal with the burglar, she had completely forgotten that her luggage was still in the living room.Her hand hidden in her sleeve clenched slightly, and then she put on a calm smile and said, "Seeing you all travel made me want to get out and clear my head, so I packed my things in advance. I can leave right away after picking a destination."Frank and Mary scowled instantly. "What are you talking about? Didn't we tell you to stay close to Stella?""Exactly! What if you're not around when Stella needs a blood transfusion? Remember why we gave birth to you. Pack away your stuff. You're not going anywhere!"As Holly seemed fine, Oscar heaved a slight sigh of relief. "If you want to go anywhere next time, we'll come with you. It isn't safe to go anywhere alone, get it?"Holly laughed inwardly. They would never be at the place she wanted to go. …A few day

When Holly returned home from the police station, there was no one around.She didn't think much and was about to head upstairs when footsteps sounded at the door.When the door swung open, Frank and Mary stormed in. Behind them was Colin, holding Stella, who was shaking all over from crying.Seeing Holly, Frank and Mary immediately flew into a fit of fury. "You crazy brat, what were you thinking? Were you the one who called the cops? Stella merely stepped on the accelerator accidentally. She didn't hit you on purpose. "Why did you call the cops? Do you want her to get into prison?"While comforting Stella, Colin didn't forget to lecture Holly, saying, "You only got injured a little, but do you realize how long Stella was lectured? If we hadn't signed the waiver, who knows how much she would have suffered? "Stella's frail. Could you take responsibility if something were to happen to her?"Yes, she got hurt a little, just barely skirting death, while Stella got lectured for hou

Holly skipped dinner and locked herself in her room, packing up the final bits of her stuff.Assuming she was sulking, Frank and Mary kept complaining about her outside."Your temper's really getting worse these days. It's just a few pieces of artwork. Was it necessary to snap at Stella like that?""Yeah, you're getting bold, huh?"As they continued scolding, Oscar quietly knocked on her bedroom door."Holly, don't be mad. Why don't you come out to grab something to eat?"Holly turned to look at the door. Her heart was heavy, yet her eyes were dry.She realized she had already cried too much. Now, she couldn't even cry even if she wanted to.Outside, Colin pulled Oscar away in displeasure. "Ignore her, Mr. Moss. She just likes to put on a show. Let's see how long she can go hungry."Holly smiled. Not for long, because she was leaving tomorrow.…The next day, Holly made a point of getting up early, only to find that the Websters had left.It wasn't until she opened her ph

"You've all been deceived by Ms. Stella," Lucy declared loudly. "Mr. and Mrs. Webster, every time you suffered from insomnia or migraines, it was Ms. Holly who made the scented candles. Ms. Stella simply stole the credit."Mr. Colin, it was Ms. Holly who risked her life to carry you out of the rubble during the earthquake. Ms. Stella claimed that deed for herself."As for that day in the yard, Ms. Holly was the one truly dancing. Ms. Stella pretended to be her and misled Mr. Moss into believing it was her."Lucy's words detonated like bombs in the hospital room. The Websters and Oscar stood rooted to the spot as shock and dawning regret spread across their faces.None of them had imagined such a cruel truth.Stella's face was drained of color. She panically glared at Lucy and hysterically screamed, "You old hag! What nonsense are you spouting?"I-I never stole any credit. Those actions were everything I've done!"Lucy gave a bitter smile. "Only you know the truth, Ms. Stella.
