Chapter 817 Was She Hurting People?

Kaleb had completely given in.

Even if it meant pain, he was willing to give it all.

If staying away hurts and getting close hurts, then he’d rather be close.

But Bria never showed up.

After wrecking his birthday, it felt like she’d walked out of his life for good, like that stunt had been her final act, the curtain call on whatever they had.

But that wasn’t the truth.

Bria had planned to find Kaleb, make a scene right in front of him, and then lock him up. She couldn’t stand the days when he didn’t care about her anymore.

Even if things blew up and the elders in the family got involved, she didn’t care.

But right at that moment, Bria got a call.

Shirley had gone on a hunger strike to protest being locked in the house. By the time they found her, she’d already collapsed on the floor. The doctor said she’d been unconscious for a full day. If they’d found her any later, her life would’ve been in serious danger.

The news hit Bria like a shock. She had no choice but to abandon her plan to take Kaleb and rushed to the hospital to see Shirley.

As she drove, her hands wouldn’t stop shaking. Just thinking about what she might see when she got there filled her with fear.

She pulled over to the side of the road and took out her phone to call Renee.

“Come find me. Now.” Bria enunciated each word sharply.

The moment Renee heard her tone, she knew something was seriously wrong. She quickly tried to calm her down. “Stay where you are. I’m coming right now.”

After hanging up, Bria’s fingers went limp. The phone slipped from her hand and rolled somewhere inside

the car.

Suddenly, she couldn’t breathe. Her grip tightened around the steering wheel, the veins on the back of her hands standing out.

She hadn’t been doing well lately. At one point, she’d even thought about giving up and going back to the

carefree life she used to live.

Chapter 817 Was She Hurting People?

Finished

She couldn’t take it anymore. And right when her emotions were at their peak, something happened to Shirley,

She’d been unconscious for a whole day before anyone noticed. The situation was extremely dangerous. She couldn’t help but wonder, if they’d gotten there any later, would something irreversible have happened?

The thought alone filled Bria with fear. No, not just fear. It was terror, the same kind of terror she felt when, no matter what she did, she couldn’t hold on to Shirley or Kaleb.

She couldn’t bear to see them get hurt.

For the first time, she started to question herself. Can forcing someone to stay by my side, making sure they lack nothing materially, still end up hurting them this badly?

Otherwise, why would Shirley go on a hunger strike, push herself so far that she collapsed from starvation? It takes incredible willpower for a person to resist hunger. Just how much does Shirley not want to stay with me to go to such extremes?

Bria, had never been good at putting herself in someone else’s shoes. She couldn’t truly understand what Shirley felt being locked in that house. But through this extreme act, she finally saw the torment and pain Shirley had been carrying.

The realization came too late, like a blade driven straight into Bria’s heart.

Shirley has already reached the point of rejecting me completely. The damage I’ve caused runs so deep. What’s the point of continuing to keep Shirley locked up?

I don’t want Shirley to hurt herself. I just want things to go back to how they used to be. But how can we ever go What am I supposed to do? What can I possibly do? Is there anyone who can tell me?

Bria slumped forward against the steering wheel, the turmoil inside her too violent. She sat there in silence, her body barely able to withstand the weight of her emotions.

back?

In a desperate attempt to release it, she slammed her head hard against the steering wheel. A dark bruise formed instantly on her forehead, the skin nearly breaking, but she didn’t feel any pain at all.

This can’t go on.

For the first time in her life, Bria wondered if she should seriously reflect on herself. Have I really done something wrong? Have I really hurt people this badly?

Renee arrived quickly. When she saw the injury on Bria’s forehead, she didn’t ask why. She simply said, “Let’s go to the hospital and get that treated.”
