I stared coldly at Yale.” I’ll do it in a while. Can you leave now? I need to
change my clothes.”
Yale looked at me.
My face was pale, my lips were trembling slightly, and my cheeks had an
unnatural flush.
My wet clothes were sticking to my body, showing my thin figure.
But Yale was so blind that he couldn’t see how sick and weak I was.
He just thought it was inappropriate for me to go apologize to Sarah all wet.
“Fine. Hurry up,” Yale said and turned to leave my room.
As soon as he left, I felt all the strength drain out of me. I held onto the bed
to keep myself from falling to my knees.
I dragged myself to the closet with great difficulty and found a set of dry
clothes to change into.
My whole body ached as if my bones were about to fall apart. It took me a
long time to change.

Every move I made was torture. My head throbbed with pain as if my bones
were being crushed again.
After putting on the dry clothes, I felt a little better.

After that, their attitude towards Sarah changed completely.

They started to favor Sarah, and they even hurt me again and again for her.
When Sarah sprained her ankle, they left me alone on a mountain full of
snakes and bugs and rushed to take care of her.
When Sarah said she wanted to go to the amusement park, they left me with

I already had a fever, and my head was dizzy, my ears were ringing. The
sudden light made my head buzz even more.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew in. I felt the quilt being yanked off me.
Before I could react, a pair of strong hands roughly pulled me up.

filled my ears.
I forced my eyes open. My head hurt so much.
After being shaken like this, I felt so nauseous that I wanted to throw up.
I retched in front of Seth.
Seth was startled and quickly stepped back.
I hadn’t eaten anything all day, so there was nothing in my stomach to throw

Seth was so blind that he thought I was faking it.
“Bella, don’t act like this. Don’t think you can get out of apologizing by
pretending to be sick!”

Then let go. I’ll get up myself,” I said.
Seth loosened his grip a little, and I quickly pulled my hand back.
He frowned. Why was my body so hot?

But that little bit of doubt in his heart disappeared quickly. He thought it was
normal for my body to get warm after being covered by the quilt for so long.
Although we both got wet, he thought my strong body was nothing like Sarah’s.
Sarah had been through so much, and her body was still cold!
Thinking of this, his voice turned cold and stern.” Hurry up. Don’t dawdle!
Sarah is waiting for your apology.”
