After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 112

Standard painkillers no longer worked for Flora. This would be another form of torture for her body.

Charles sent Flora’s medical report, then couldn’t resist zooming in on the diagnosis again: Uterine damage, difficulty conceiving.

“If you see it, you’ll want it too.”

Aria closed the catalog and placed it on the table.

She knew Lilith all too well.

Anything she had, Lilith had to take. And anything she didn’t have, Lilith would acquire just to flaunt it in her face.

Lilith wrung her hands pitifully. “Aria, why would you say that about me… I never wanted to take anything from you.”

Gideon spoke up. “Aria, you need to work on that attitude. You’re Mrs. Evernight. Try to be more magnanimous.”

Aria was sick of hearing that.

The auction began shortly after.

Aria had no interest in the opening lots, and Lilith remained seated without making any bids.

She knew Lilith was just waiting for her to make a move so she could snatch the item away.

“One million.”

Aria pressed the bidding button.

Gideon looked at Aria. This wasn't the piece of jewelry she had pointed out earlier.

Lilith bit her lip, looking hesitantly at Aria. “Aria, do you like this one too?”

“Didn’t I bid first?” Aria leaned back in her chair, a playful look on her face. “How is it that you suddenly like it the moment I place a bid?”

“No, that’s not it. I was just asking, Aria. I didn’t say I liked it…”

Lilith quickly moved to sit beside Charles, lowering her head and saying no more.

Charles looked up and took in the scene.

He reached out and pressed the button. “Two million.”

“Flora likes this kind of thing.”

Lilith whispered, “But Aria likes it too…”
