All Chapters of Left Behind at the Station: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

When I arrived home, my dad, Thomas, glanced behind me, his expression darkening. "Weren't you on a trip with Winnie? Where is she?"I forced a smile and slipped my arm through his, acting spoiled. "I suddenly missed you, so I came back early. Let her have fun on her own.""Oh, Amy." His expression softened a little, but his tone stayed firm. "Winnie is still our nanny's daughter. "We supported Winnie all the way through college so that her mother could look after you like one of her own. I don't mind removing her allowance if she can't do that."The smile faded from my face, and it felt like something sharp stabbed into my chest.…Winnie was only seven when her mother brought her to join the Whites. I still remember how thin and fragile Winnie looked, standing there timidly like a stray kitten.When I found out her biological father abused her—and that she sometimes went days without a proper meal—I, an only child, took her in as if she were my own sister.She had been a par

The moment I asked her mother to come out, Winnie immediately panicked.Mrs. Romger stepped outside, her gaze flickering suspiciously between the two of us before finally settling on me. She approached respectfully. Then, I turned to Elias and let out a cold laugh, demanding, "Tell him who the real Whites' heiress is."Without any hesitation, she replied, "Of course it's you…"Yet, before Mrs. Romger could finish, Winnie suddenly cut her off, her voice rising sharply. She dropped to her knees with a thud, her face already streaked with tears. "We grew up together—why do you have to make this so ugly? "Is it my fault that Elias and I fell in love with each other? I'm even begging you now, so what more do you want?"Mrs. Romger furrowed her brows tightly, her hands clenching.Before I could react, she suddenly made me beg. "Of course she is. How dare you make the heiress kneel!"I looked at her in disbelief, but the sharp pain in my knees told me this was real.Winnie quietly

After I was hospitalized, Timothy notified my father, who was away handling a business deal.He carefully applied medicine to my wounds. "You're not the one at fault for trusting the wrong person for four years," he said quietly. "It's the deepest regret—finding out the truth about someone only after marriage."Later, he even went out to buy breakfast for me, consisting of meat and vegetables, which was nutritionally balanced."I grabbed something random," he explained. "Have a bite."'So, breakfast isn't buns and oatmeal,' I thought. Then, I turned my face away, sniffing hard to keep my tears back. "Thank you."…With Timothy taking care of me, I recovered quickly.When I stepped back into the house, I saw Mrs. Romger and a group of servants kneeling in a row, visibly trembling.At the very front were Winnie and Elias.My father sat at the head of the room, motioning for a new servant to help me sit down beside him. "Amy," he said calmly, "I know you're naturally kind-hearted,

"Shut up!" Elias' face burned as he slapped Winnie hard. "You're nothing but a cheap liar. You're just a nanny's daughter, yet you wore better clothes and lived better than Amy—that's why I was fooled by you!"I was just playing around with you. "The only person I've ever loved is Amy."Looking at the expensive clothes Winnie was wearing, I let out a quiet, bitter laugh.From childhood, I had treated her like my own sister. To keep her from feeling inferior, I always gave her the best of everything.In the end, it all became the very tool she used to betray me.My father's brows knitted tighter and tighter, his gaze cold as ice as it swept over the two of them. "One is the so-called best friend my daughter treated with genuine sincerity," he said slowly, "and the other is the boyfriend she begged me to give a job to. Yet, you both had the nerve to mistreat my daughter for four years?"He turned to the housekeeper beside him. "Mrs. Romger failed to properly raise her daughter. R
