He Gave Her My Eyes A Story of Final Sight novel Chapter 11

Theresia’s face was pale, her eyes filled with shock.

Of course Patti wanted her to hear everything.

Why else would the door be left open, her shameless noises echoing through the hallway like a taunt?

Theresia lifted her phone and quietly pressed the record button.

Patti’s laughter rang out, sharp and mocking as she leaned in close. “Theresia, I’m going to take everything from you. Your parents, your brother, your fiancé, even your precious husband.”

Her smile grew cruel. “I want you to know that everything you work so hard for, I can take without even trying. You’ll always be nothing to me. Just someone I can step on whenever I feel like it.”

The sounds from the bedroom kept replaying in Theresia’s mind, scenes she couldn’t erase no matter how hard she tried. She remembered what Lawrence had said outside her hospital room, how he’d do anything for Patti. After three years of marriage, what did she even mean to him?

Anger burned through the ache in her heart. She couldn’t hold back anymore. Her hand shot out toward Patti’s face.

Her fingertips barely brushed Patti’s cheek before a sharp cry broke the air, followed by a loud crash.

Theresia froze, completely stunned, trying to make sense of what had just happened.

Suddenly, footsteps thundered behind her. A stinging slap landed across her face, knocking her to the ground.

Lawrence stood over her, eyes red with fury.

“Theresia, have you lost your mind? How could you?”

His voice was almost a roar. “I always knew you were jealous of Patti, but I never imagined you’d be this crazy. You pushed her down the stairs. You make me sick.”

His forehead was tight with rage, his eyes cold and empty.

Before she could say anything, Felton stormed over and kicked Theresia hard in the side.

His anger was ugly, his eyes burning with hate. “Theresia, Mom was right about you. You’re just an ungrateful traitor. Ever since Patti came home, you’ve done nothing but go after her. Why are you so cruel? Why did the car accident three years ago only take your sight? Why didn’t it just finish you off?”

Why didn’t it kill her?

Theresia sat on the floor, one hand bracing herself, the other pressing against her stomach.

Pain twisted through her lower belly, sharp and relentless, but it was nothing compared to the emptiness inside her. A coldness settled over her, numbing everything.

She hurt too much to speak. She didn’t have the strength to explain, not that it mattered. None of them would believe her anyway.

Their footsteps faded as everyone rushed off with Patti, leaving Theresia sitting there alone. Her lips were bloodless, her whole world silent, as if she’d never mattered at all.
