Lilac was crying uncontrollably and was unable to continue speaking.
Her following words should be something unbearable for all of us and also something she didn’t want to face. It was perhaps what led her to become like this today.
“You were pampered by everyone, so how could you understand the suffering I’ve endured? You stand on a moral high ground and accuse me, but do I deserve that? I’m just a girl. I just want to be beautiful and for someone to love me, is that wrong?”
Lilac was crying so hard that she could barely catch her breath. But she still intermittently accused me as if I was the cause of all the suffering she endured.
How deep was her pain and despair for her to cry like that?
I had to admit that what she said deeply moved me.
She said I stood on a moral high ground, but was I wrong? Shouldn’t she be blamed for what she did? If she wanted to be beautiful and loved, then she should stay true to herself and be the best that she could so that she was the brilliant light in another person’s eyes.
Naturally, someone would love and cherish her.
Perhaps her life wasn’t easy, but who had it easy? Opportunity awaited those who were prepared. If she didn’t put any effort into improving and building up herself, no one would bother to care about her. So, how could she possibly live the life she wanted?
It was true that I was ignorant of the ways of the world, and most of the people around me really did pamper me, but I strived for everything I wanted.
I studied hard, I painted continuously, and I did everything to the best of my ability. Even in matters of love, I was faithful and regretted nothing. That was why I was where I was today. It was the result of my hard work.
It might be difficult growing up in a troubled family, but it wouldn’t prevent someone from growing into an outstanding person.
She could study and strive for her future like everyone else instead of placing all her hopes on others and becoming a parasite, relying on others to fulfill her wishes.
Moreover, her family was much better than mine before she was 15. Her family held high positions. Wasn’t 15 years enough to shape her character? Ads by PubFuture
Clearly, it was just a case of greediness that caused her downfall. She had desires that could not be satisfied and an unstable temperament, yet she portrayed herself as a pitiful person.
I really couldn’t understand or agree with her thoughts.
This instantly made me lose all sympathy and pity for her.
I was just trying to help her out of kindness and didn’t mean to look down on her, but she complained and accused me instead. Thinking about this, it seemed that it was my fault for meddling. I should’ve left her alone and let her fend for herself.
I had wasted my time on her. It was really not worth it. I even wasted money on the plane ticket. It was so expensive. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Felix covered the medical expenses for Lilac and hired a nurse for her. It was almost 11 by the time everything was settled.
Everyone left together, leaving Lilac alone in the hospital.
It was not that we lacked sympathy, but we just couldn’t help it.
Just before I closed the door behind me, I glanced back and saw Lilac pulling the blanket over herself. The white sheet was trembling slightly. I didn’t know if she was crying out of shame for her words and actions or for the loss of her baby.
Regardless of the reason, it was her own fault.
The frightened Hannah was following Felix closely, which caught his attention. Perhaps realizing that it was his fault for scaring her, his attitude toward her improved. At least now, he wasn’t as cold and hard to approach as before.
