Tranquility
The experiences of being treated as a pushover in my past life flashed before my eyes. I closed my eyes and clenched my fists tightly.
Seeing me not speaking, Lily thought I was hesitating. She approached and tugged at my sleeve while pretending to cry.
"Sister, Mom's words might sound harsh. Allow me to apologize to you on her behalf. However, what Mom said does have a point. Your grades are outstanding, and even if you study for an extra year, you can still get into a good college. However, if I delay my studies for another year, I'm worried I won't even make it to this school."
