“Tonight, I need you to visit the Bland family estate for me. They’re our next target. Once we’ve settled things here in the Capital, we’ll head to Rock Bay.”
“Okay.”
Lucinda got home from school at five. No one had a clue how giddy she’d been the whole way back. Just thinking about Lydia being so helpless now and unable to see anything, made her want to laugh out loud. Still, when she came through the door, she forced herself to look serious.
She glanced around, hoping to see Lydia in the living room. There was no sign of her. Disappointed, she turned to Cameron and Kylie.
“Dad, Mom, didn’t Lydia come home? Where is she?”
Kylie wasn’t in the mood to entertain Lucinda. She shot her a quick look and frowned.
“Who told you she was home?”
Lucinda’s smile faltered. After a moment, she stammered,
“I... I heard Grandpa mention it yesterday.”
Then she hurried to add, “Lydia won first place in that medical competition in Country D. She’s amazing. I’ve been waiting for her so I could congratulate her.”
Cameron had no idea whether Lucinda was being sincere anymore. She’d changed so much, she was almost unrecognizable. Where had his kind, thoughtful daughter gone?
“Lucinda, then Grandpa must have also told you what happened to your sister, right?” he asked.
If Grandpa said Lydia was back, he probably also mentioned her blindness.
Lucinda immediately put on a sympathetic look and nodded.
“Yes, Grandpa told me. Dad, Mom, don’t be upset. Lydia’s so talented in medicine, I’m sure she’ll heal herself.”
Kylie frowned even more.
“Lucinda, your sister’s blindness is just temporary. When you’re with her, watch what you say. Don’t make her feel worse, okay?”
Lucinda bit her lip and nodded.
“I know, Mom. You and Dad don’t have to worry. I’ll never upset Lydia again.”
Lydia frowned.
Connor couldn’t stand Lucinda either. He glanced at Lydia.
“I’ll tell her to go away.”
But Lydia shook her head.
“Let her in. Let’s see what she wants.”
Connor hesitated, then stood up and went to open the door.
Lucinda already knew Connor was staying at the Norwood house. Hearing movement inside, she quickly tugged her shirt down a little from her shoulder and ran her fingers through her hair.
The door opened, and there he was—the handsome face she’d been thinking about day and night. She put on a look of surprise.
“Connor, you’re here too?”

done reading lydia's story. thank you for sharing it....
thank u!...
Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
