They Loved Her After She Died novel Chapter 2

Lucy reached out, tugging at Aaron's sleeves. Sounding miserable, she said, "Don't be mad, Aaron. It's my fault for being allergic to seafood. I'm sure Vicky didn't do it on purpose. Stop blaming her!"

Aaron's expression turned cold as he spoke. "We spoiled her too much. Now, she's grown to be arrogant and overbearing!"

Fury surged in Bruce's eyes. "The older she gets, the pettier she becomes. If it weren't for her, Luce wouldn't have to suffer."

Right then, Lucy deliberately revealed the areas of her body still marred with faint red marks from the lingering allergic reaction to her brothers.

Feeling sorry for her, Clark tenderly touched her skin. "Does it still hurt, Luce?"

Lucy lowered her head, her voice trembling hard, as though she was about to burst into tears. "It doesn't hurt… at all…"

Completely enraged, Bruce shouted, "If we had gone to the hospital any later, Luce's life would have been in danger. And after all this time, we haven't received a single word from her. She still hasn't learned her lesson!"

Anger ripped through Aaron as he ordered, "Get that brat here so she can apologize to Luce! I want to see how long she can keep up this defiance without bowing her head."

Both Bruce and Clark agreed. "She's only so defiant because she's been hiding behind us. Now that she's crossed the line, she has to pay the price."

They turned to the maid and ordered angrily, "What are you standing there for? Go bring that ungrateful brat here. Also, fetch the rod. If Victoria hadn't deliberately put seafood into the stew, Luce wouldn't have suffered in the hospital for three whole days! It's time to teach her a lesson!"

The maid dared not question the order and rushed off at once to where my body was.
