“I hooked up with no one,” Kelly said flatly. “We… just got to know each other coincidentally.”
Nelly’s gaze was vicious as her red lips pulled into a mocking smile.
“Hah, my baby sister’s so pretty that even when she’s ill, there’s a man going after her!” Her sharp nail ran across Kelly’s face. “If this face is ruined, I wonder what Josiah will look like when he sees you again.”
“You won’t do that.” Kelly looked at her.
Her pale and beautiful eyes were resolute.
Nelly hated this gaze. She was scared of it as well.
“You really think I dare not?” She gnashed her teeth and clenched her fingers to choke Kelly.
Kelly furrowed her brows as suffocating fear and despair crept up to her.
Kelly uttered with great difficulty, “Nelly, if… I really disappear from this world, you’ll lose everything too!”
With her sore spot hit, Nelly let go slowly, but her gaze was still sinister.
“If you ruin my face, my injury will be in the open.” Kelly smirked. “You wouldn’t want anyone to see what you’ve done, right?”
“Kelly Tanner!”
“Nelly, death is an escape to me. But you want to live, right?
“Think about it. If mom and dad really find out how you’ve been treating me, you’ll lose everything then. Even your birth will be exposed… Are you sure this is what you want?”
The corner of Nelly’s lips twitched as she glowered. She got up with balled fists and looked down at Kelly, leaving the room with a scoff.
When Kelly heard the click-clacking of heels fade, she relaxed her tense body and her shoulders jerked. She hugged herself, burying her face between her knees, and could only sob, not daring to cry loudly.
Someone passed by the door, but she did not hear it. The person outside halted his steps.
