“Sister, you’re finally awake.”

The door to the ward suddenly opened, and a man pushed a woman in. One of the woman’s feet was in a thick cast.

As soon as the two nurses saw them, their faces changed. They forced a smile and went up to greet them. “Miss Kelly, you’re here? How’s your recovery today?”

Their warm and humble attitude was completely different from the way they treated Caroline just now.

The person was Caroline’s younger sister, Kelly. She was only a few months younger than Caroline. The person who was pushing her was Caroline’s fiancé.

Caroline was originally the apple of the Lambert family’s eye. She had been doted on since she was young. When she was ten years old, her father, Balor, brought in a little girl. Her world changed from then on.

The little girl was Kelly. It was said that she was the daughter of Balor’s friend and benefactor. Because her father had died trying to save Balor, Balor had adopted Kelly out of guilt.

That day, Caroline was very happy to see her new friend. She thought that she finally had a sweet and cute little sister. However, she had never expected that her sister’s sweetness and cuteness only stopped at her appearance. There was a demon living in her body.

At a young age, Kelly knew how to make use of Mr. Balor’s guilt. Time and time again, she showed weakness and tried to please him, making Caroline look rude and unreasonable. This made Balor’s heart gradually favor her. Later on, it became worse. She even framed Caroline again and again, making Balor completely disappointed in Caroline.

When she was 12 years old, because of Kelly’s framing, Caroline was accused of stealing in school. The matter blew up, and Balor lost face. He lost control of his anger and hit Caroline for the first time.

Caroline, who suffered such injustice, resisted with all her might. However, she only received an even stronger suppression. After that, she was scolded and beaten up as usual.

Caroline, who was still young, could not understand why she was always misunderstood, targeted, scolded, and beaten even though she was her father’s biological daughter. On the other hand, Kelly, who was the adopted daughter of the family, was loved by everyone.

Under the pressure of the people around her, Caroline became more and more timid and quiet. She gradually became a dumb and mute existence in the eyes of others.

As a father, after hearing these rumors, not only did Balor not reflect on his mistakes, but he also did not clear her name. Instead, he felt that she was a useless person and did not like her even more. Thus, he doted on Kelly even more.

From her family to her friends, Caroline had lost them all. They were all by Kelly’s side. Caroline was used to being suppressed and disappointed again and again. She no longer resisted. That was until one day, she saw her fiancé, Austin, hugging and playing with Kelly intimately.

Austin was Caroline’s only ray of hope to escape from this suffocating home. She loved and relied on him, but now, even this ray of hope was about to be snatched away by Kelly.

Caroline could not hold it in any longer. That night, she blocked Kelly at the staircase and questioned her why she did that. Kelly actually said bluntly, “Austin is the heir of the Campbell family. He needs a better partner to accompany him.”

Caroline was stunned.

“Sister, do you think you’re good enough for this role?” Kelly continued to ask.

“But that’s not a reason for you to seduce him.” Caroline wasn’t very smart, but she wasn’t that stupid.

“Sister, I’m sorry!” Kelly suddenly shouted.

In the next second, Caroline saw Kelly take a step back and fall down the stairs. She reached out to grab her but missed. She watched as Kelly rolled down the stairs.

Her action, in the eyes of others, became irrefutable evidence that she had pushed Kelly down the stairs.

The injured Kelly was hurriedly sent to the hospital. No matter how Caroline tried to explain herself, no one believed her.

“You’re committing murder!”

“The one who should die is you!”

Kelly’s admirers surrounded her and threw her into the water. This was the scene that Luo Ling had encountered when she transmigrated.

Because of Kelly’s scheme, Caroline died.

The culprit was now in front of her, holding her hand and saying, “Sister, I’ve already told them that you didn’t push me down. I fell down by accident. It’s all my fault for not explaining clearly. That’s why you’ve encountered such a situation.”

Behind her, Austin immediately comforted her. “How is this your fault? You’re the biggest victim.”

Caroline’s lips curled up into a cold smile. The biggest victim was already dead. She pulled her hand back and said coldly, “Since they made a mistake, shouldn’t they come and apologize to me?”

Kelly and Austin were stunned. They were surprised that Caroline, who had been silent and timid, would make such a request.

Austin looked at her with a hint of disdain in his eyes. “Caroline, do you know what you are asking?”

Caroline raised her head and looked at him with a sharp gaze. “As someone who was wronged and almost died after being pushed into the water, is it too much to ask for an apology?”

“You only choked on a few mouthfuls of water. Nothing happened.” A voice came from outside the ward, and a man who looked 50 – 60% similar to Caroline walked in. “They are all friends of the Lambert family. Are you going to let your family offend these allies over such a small matter?”
