Ella Robinson was enthusiastic and generous, and she reminded people of the sun.In contrast, Silvia Robinson was quiet, just like her name, and she was just like a shadow without any sort of presence.From the moment Gregory Fisher first met Ella, Silvia had a bad feeling about it.Back then, Silvia reassured herself that she and Gregory had been together for a decade, so it wouldn't happen.But harsh reality proved that Silvia couldn't have been more wrong.Gregory had sent her to the hospital and kept watch by her bed. He was even worried that the IV fluid would make her hands cold, so he asked the nurse for a heating pad to keep her warm."That kiss was an accident," Gregory said. "I just think of her as you, a younger and livelier version of you. Silvia, why do you have to be so strong and distant? I always feel like you don't need me anymore. "Anyway, this won't happen again. As for Ella, well, she's your sister, after all, and she's so young, too. Don't hold it against h

Suddenly, the silence was broken by Ella's sobs. Tears continuously fell from her reddened eyes, and her nose had turned red as well.She looked quite pitiful."Silvia, are you… driving me out?" Ella covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.Then, she turned to Gregory, saying helplessly, "Gregory, what do we do? You promised me that you'd explain everything to Silvia, but even now, she refuses to believe me."Gregory patted Ella's head, comforting her. His jaw was tense as he stared intently at Silvia.His brows were tightly knitted, and his lips were pressed into a thin line. He had obviously lost his patience.When Silvia saw that, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.Before she could explain herself, a friend was already scolding her. "Silvia, that's too much! If you drive Ella out right now, where is she going to stay? She'll be all alone out there, and she's still so young! What if something happens to her? How could you bear to do such a thing?"With a lo

Silvia tapped on the photo. The necklace was a gift from Gregory for their tenth anniversary. It was a custom Chaumet piece, and the ruby set on top had a fiery glimmer in it that was visible even in photos.When Silvia received the necklace, she had been stunned by the dazzling brilliance as well. However, the next second, Gregory's mother, Wendy Burton, called her. "You're smart, aren't you? You know that if it's a transfer of funds, it'll be reclaimed, so you got my son to give you jewelry instead. I'm impressed that an orphan like you could come up with such tricks."Gregory's expression shifted, but he could only look at Wendy helplessly and complain, "Mom…"Silvia declined Gregory's offer to help her put it on. She just kept it in the safe and cherished it.Sometimes, she would take it out and admire it.But now, there was no reason to get it back anymore.Silvia replied, "Just hold on to it for now."After responding to the message, she fell into a deep sleep.When she

Gregory was gripping Silvia's shoulders so hard that it was hurting her. She tried to get him to let go, but he refused to listen.Even when the crowd saw Gregory treating her like that, no one seemed to care.Among those people were her best friend, whom she had lent the entirety of her savings to, and also a subordinate who made a mistake in a proposal she had stayed up all night to fix.However, without a single exception, they were all glaring at her in hatred as if she were some sort of heinous criminal."It wasn't me!" Silvia argued. "I haven't even seen her lately. Also, I only found out just now that Ella has depression!"Tessa couldn't help speaking up, "What do you mean, you only found out just now? If you didn't even know about it, why would you use your status as her legal guardian to tell the doctor not to prescribe Ella any medicine? "If Ella had taken her medicine regularly, she wouldn't even be this startled! Why are you still making excuses now that things have

In a haze, Silvia heard someone calling her name.She opened her eyes to find that it was a nurse. "Ms. Robinson, you're awake. How are you feeling?"Silvia stared at the nurse in bewilderment. It took some time before she slowly remembered that she was undergoing ECT, and she was at the hospital right now.The nurse gently helped Silvia up, then handed her the continuation medication and her notebook. "Ms. Robinson, you can take a moment to catch your breath here. It's normal to experience some discomfort right after the treatment."The nurse led Silvia to a resting area and sat her down. She felt a little bored.Her mind felt empty as if it were missing something.She tried to recall her memories, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember.Silvia eventually decided to give up. She picked up the notebook in resignation and began to read it.For some reason, when she saw the notebook, she subconsciously felt averse to it. Still, her curiosity drove her to continue
