Chapter 135 Into the Water Again
<b>Lily </b>had just rim out of John’s vi when she saw Mathilda standing nearby.
Seriously. I must’ve picked the worst day to step outside.
First, <b>that </b>nightmare of a blind <b>date </b>with Simon. Then she got dragged here by that lunatic John.
<b>And </b>now, to <b>make </b>it even worse, she ran into Mathilda–the fake little angel in white.
She had no interest in chatting. Pretending not to see her. Lily quickened her pace, trying to walk away.
“Hey-
But Mathilda wasn’t about to let her pass by so easily.
She quickly stepped in front of Lily, her face–usually soft and delicate–<b>now </b>twisted with venomous spite,
“You proud of yourself, stealing James from me? Huh? James is mine. Everything is mine. I won’t let <b>take </b>what rightfully belongs to me, you disgusting little thief!”
“Mathilda, if you’re sick, go check yourself into a mental hospital. Barking like this in public–<b>you </b>really want everyone to know you’ve got full–blown paranoia?”
Lily had no patience for such absurdity.
She paused, then added, “Back then, you were afraid of being tied to a <b>man </b>in aa, so you refused to marry into the Luke family. Now you’re here yapping like a dog. You really want it all, don’t you? No shame at all. James isn’t yours–he’s not blind, you know. Why <b>would </b>he go for a weirdo like you? And those three brothers of yours? You’re all the same breed, rotten to the core. Don’t worry, no one else has a taste that disgusting. You can keep them.”
“B*tch!”
Mathilda trembled with rage.
She thought Lily was putting on an act.
In her eyes, Lily was always trying to steal her brothers–her parents, too!
Why else would the family still keep so many things Lily had <b>used</b>?
The more she thought about it, the more disgusted and enraged she became. Then, spotting Jonah and Sean walking over from a distance/she suddenly staggered and threw herself into the massive fountain behind her.
Then came the scream, shrill and panicked: “Everyone help! Ljust wanted to say hi to my sister–and she… she told me I should die and tried to drown me!”
“Mathilda!
Seeing Mathilda fall into the water, Jonah and Sean both panicked.

The fountain was deep.
Without hesitation, Sean jumped in and tightly cradled the iling <b>Mathilda </b>in his arms.
Lily didn’t have her phone on her, nor a body cam. She hadn’t captured the moment Mathilda jumped in herself
She knew all too well that the Ginger men treated Mathilda like a treasure. Not wanting to be their next punching bag. Lily turned and tried to leave.
But Jonah moved faster.
She’d barely taken a few steps before he blocked her <b>path</b>.
She turned to run the other <b>way</b>.
But the second she turned around, she felt a harsh chill wash over her–<b>Jonah </b>had already grabbed her and thrown <b>her </b>into the fountain.
Her fever had been recurring the past few days,
Even earlier in John’s room, she’d felt lightheaded. She knew the fever was back.
Now, submerged in icy water, her entire body seized up. It felt like she was trapped in a winter storm.
Even worse–her calf cramped up.
The pain overwhelmed her, and even though she could swim, she couldn’t get herself to the surface. “Lily, you really deserve to die!”
Sean held Mathilda carefully and protectively.
His tenderness was only for Mathilda. When his eyes fell on Lily, they were cold and merciless.
“The Ginger family raised you for years. Mathilda is my real sister. How dare you hurt her again? You really are a thankless <b>stray</b>!”
Jonah stood at the edge of the fountain, towering above Lily, his face full of contempt. “You bully Mathilda <b>over </b>and over again. You deserve to die. Apologize to her! If she won’t forgive you, I swear I won’t let you off tonight!”
Lily would never apologize to Mathilda.
She wanted to scream that she’d done nothing wrong–that they were the blind ones. That Mathilda was shameless, always using vile tricks to hurt her.
But her calf cramped harder. She couldn’t breathe through the water, couldn’t even form a full sentence.
Her head was <b>growing </b>heavier. Her body colder by the second.
And in that haze, Lily felt like she was back in that winter long ago–drenched in hopelessness.
Back then too, Mathilda had falsely used her of pushing her into the water.

over a decade didn’t believe a word she said. They were
So they threw her into a rushing river.
She swam desperately for the shore.
Every time she got close, they kicked her back in the freezing water
Again and again, until she couldn’t fight anymore and passed on
Now, the fountain water was just as cold as that men
And her body, wrapped in that icy flow, felt like in cold call in anymore.
And the two brothers she had once cared for so deeply–were still standing above her, condemning her like they couldn’t wait to see her dead.
