Chapter 4
Then a strong feeling of vomiting came over me. I couldn’t hold it back and vomited all over myself with a pale face.
William, who was sitting next to him, subconsciously held Sydney’s hand and took a few steps back. His face was livid and he said, “Ellen! What are you doing? Isn’t it disgusting?! Isn’t it just to let you drink a glass of wine? How about embarrassing yourself like this!”
William had mysophobia, so he said in public that I was disgusting.
My friends looked at me with strange and disgusting eyes and eventually they all found excuses to leave.
“Ellen, you have to ruin Sydney’s reception banquet, right? You always pretend to be sensible, I really misjudged you!”
After saying that, he kicked the empty wine bottle hard and pulled Sydney away.
Sydney turned around and gave me a gloating and provocative smile.
It was like saying, “Ellen, I’m back again and I’m here to take away everything that belongs to you.”
Sydney was my half-sister.
I would always remember that as soon as school was over that afternoon, I saw my mother kneeling on the ground begging my father not to leave.
But my father hugged Sydney’s mother and kicked my mother’s hand away, while Sydney giggled behind her.
From then on, Sydney started to snatch my things.
Clothes, toys, fatherly love.
Now, she was finally going to snatch William away.
When I got home, I discovered that all the painkillers had been taken.
I opened the diary and recorded it one stroke at a time.
[Sydney is back. With just a flick of her hand, she could take away the marriage that I had worked hard to maintain for five years.]
Curling up on the sofa and falling asleep, William finally came back.
He seemed to feel that he was a little too much toward me during the day and now he was rarely gentle.
“Ellen, haven’t you always wanted to go to Ahans with me for our honeymoon? We’ll leave the day after tomorrow, okay?”
At that time, William was so poor that he didn’t even have money for a wedding.
Not to mention the honeymoon.
After he became successful, I proposed more than once that I wanted to take a honeymoon, but he always declined on the excuse of being busy at work.
Now he finally agreed.
It would be great if I wasn’t about to die and if Sydney didn’t come back.
I couldn’t help but shed two lines of clear tears. William immediately held me in his arms and coaxed me softly, “Ellen, believe me, I am just a friend to Sydney. After all, it was I who misunderstood her and broke up with her. Now that she’s back, I just want to make it up to her, but from the beginning to the end, I only love you.”
I couldn’t believe William.
Because on the day Sydney returned to Mison, they couldn’t wait to leave the bed photos.
But even though my heart was cut by a knife, I still tried to look happy.
“Okay, I’ll book the flight right now.”
William rubbed my hair happily. I knew that he must be sighing at my sensibility again.
I recorded my joy at this moment in my diary and bought some equipment for Ahans.
On the same day, William drove me to the airport.
But suddenly, Sydney’s phone rang.
“William, I miss you so much…”
Her voice was drunken and there were many noises coming from all around.
William’s face suddenly tightened. “Where are you?”
“I was in the bar where we first met… William, do you remember? I was molested by some gangsters at that time and you saved me. You promised that you would protect me for the rest of your life…”
Chapter 5
“But why, you are now someone else’s husband…”
Sydney’s painful cries sounded and I saw William’s face turn pale instantly.
For the rest of the journey, he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing and cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.
When he was approaching the airport, he finally stopped the car and said firmly, “Ellen, get off the car.”
William didn’t dare to look at me, but insisted that I get out of the car.
I was silent for a few seconds and said, “Does it have to be like this?”
“I’m sorry, Ellen. Sydney has a bad stomach and can’t drink. We will go to Ahans another day. I will make it up to you then!”
My smile was a little cold,
“But William, my stomach isn’t feeling well either.”
Not good enough, almost dead.
“Ellen! Don’t be willful. Where did you get your stomach trouble? Be obedient and get out of the car first!”
The sourness in my heart reached its peak at this moment. I couldn’t bear the humiliation anymore and ran out of the car.
William immediately walked away.
It was like this again. Between Sydney and me, he would always choose Sydney.
After all, he loved her so much back then.
The airport was built in the suburbs and I stood in the cold wind for a long time before I got a taxi.
After a few hours, I finally returned home.
While writing a diary, tears dripped down the paper.
Sydney sent me a message at this time: [You little bastard, do you understand now? You are just like your mother, only abandoned by men!]
Stomach pain swept over me like a tide. It wasn’t until noon the next day that William hurried home.
He acted as if nothing had happened, as usual and I was too hurt to have the energy to question him.
I just said, “It doesn’t matter, I understand.”
So he really stopped asking further questions and went back to the study to talk on the phone with Sydney.
In the next few days, my illness became more and more serious and I often fainted from the pain.
But William and Sydney were in contact more and more frequently.
They rode the Ferris wheel together, climbed mountains together, watched the sea and rode motorcycles together...
I looked at Sydney’s sweet Instagram story over and over again like a masochist, clearly feeling the passage of life.
It was obvious that I was losing weight due to the disease, but William never realized it.
Until this day, I spat out a mouthful of blood.
I knew that I was really going to die soon.
“William, come with me to see mom.”
Trying to ignore the scent of roses on William’s body, I suggested.
William readily agreed.
He was very positive and accompanied me to buy a bouquet of flowers and sent them to my mother’s grave.
He said sincerely, “Auntie, don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of Ellen and won’t let her suffer any injustice.”
Really? William.
I shed tears silently and at this moment, there was burning pain in my stomach again.
The pain was so intense that I was about to call William, but suddenly his cell phone rang.
“William, save me, save me quickly! I’m being followed!”
When Sydney’s scream came, William’s expression changed instantly.
“Ellen, something happened to Sydney. I’m going to save her first!”
I slumped on the ground helplessly, feeling as if ten thousand silver needles were stirring in my belly.
“William…”
William looked back and saw my appearance, he was startled and then suddenly showed an angry look.
“Ellen! What is it now? Human lives are at stake and you are playing these little tricks again!”
“Sydney is your biological sister, can you stop being so vicious!”
After saying that, he turned around and left, regardless of my pleading.
The car sped away. I looked at my mother’s photo and closed my eyes weakly.
William, you had finally lost me completely.
