Be Your Own Spring novel Chapter 5

Before I could even hang up, I lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I was in the professor's home.

The warm breeze brushing against my skin felt like the first comfort I'd had in forever.

The professor, with his graying hair, looked at me with eyes full of concern.

Seeing my deformed leg, he was almost on the verge of tears.

"How could such a bright student end up like this?"

"The doctor said if I'd been even a minute later, you might not have made it."

"If that were the case, it would be a loss for the whole country…"

I didn't say anything in response, too tired to speak, only sighing in resignation.

The professor sighed along with me.

"Good girl, since you called me 'Professor,' I'll make sure you get the justice you deserve."

He handed me a tablet.

"When you want the information released, you decide."

I hesitated for a moment before opening my phone.

Not a single word of concern from my parents.

The only messages were from Lucas Henderson—one after another.

But what stood out the most was the trending headline.

"CEO of the Henderson Corporation and the Mogane family heiress will officially tie the knot tomorrow."

Olivia Mogane, in a dazzling wedding gown, beamed with happiness, nestled close to Lucas Henderson.

Their hands were clasped tightly, radiating love.

I smiled bitterly.

"When the wedding starts, release everything."

"Consider it my wedding gift to the happy couple."

They gave me nothing in life, so I'll make sure to take back what's mine.

I've paid my debts to the Mogane family with a broken leg.

I paid Lucas Henderson back with five years of imprisonment.

What's left is what they owe me.

And now, it's time for them to pay up.

That very night, fireworks lit up the sky, celebrating the marriage of the two families.

Lucas Henderson wanted to shout to the world about his passionate love for Olivia Mogane.

I stood quietly by the window, waiting for dawn.

Waiting for the truth to finally come to light.

The wedding had already started, but Lucas Henderson's heart was in turmoil.

Since yesterday, an uneasy feeling had been gnawing at him.

The look in Rozella Mogane's eyes had shattered him.

But he wasn't a part of the Mogane family, so he had no right to get too involved in their family matters.

He just hoped to rush through the wedding with Olivia Mogane and then go marry Rozella Mogane afterward.
