Silvia and I glance at each other and rush towards the room. Sabina is lying on the ground in pain.
It's probably because she wants to climb onto the bed herself that she falls off.
"Mom, are you alright?"
I walk over to help her up, but she knocks my hand away in disgust.
"You vicious woman, stop pretending to be kind. If it weren't for you, would I have become like this?! If you want me to die, just say so. You don't have to shed crocodile tears in front of me. Anyway, Frances isn't here. Wipe your disgusting look off your face!"
What Sabina said really hurts me.
I suddenly miss Sabina who used to treat me well. She has given me a mother's love for a short period, but it seems that what I have experienced is just a fond dream.
I wonder if time can wipe off everything.
"Mom, stop talking. Jane is not such a person. Don’t speak like that to her."
Silvia sighs and walks over to help Sabina up with difficulty.
"Silvia, what do you know about her? Don't be fooled by her kind look. I used to think that she was a kind and innocent girl, but she has ruined my life. Now, it's so hard for me to get into bed, not to mention playing the piano. You won't realize I am right until you are tricked by others."
Sabina is very excited. As she speaks, she glares at me with hatred as if she would take any chance to kill me.
I can understand her pursuit of the cause and she is very upset about watching her own dream die, but I really can't accept the way she looks at me.
"Mom, stop it. You bring trouble to yourself. Who is to blame?" Silvia frowns and says.
I don't expect that Silvia will actually stand on my side so obviously.
I throw a grateful glance at her, but Sabina suddenly slaps Silvia in the face.
"You actually speak for the outsider?! Get out! I don't have a daughter like you!"
Sabina slaps Silvia with her right hand so hard that the red mark of her hand is left on Silvia's face immediately.
