“I know I offended her before, but I’ve already admitted my mistakes. I sincerely tried to apologize–why won’t she let me go? Does she really need to drive me to death before she feels happy? It hurts… it hurts so much…”
Simon’s gaze fell on her and his chest tightened.
On her pale, slender arms were several angry red scratches. Both sides of her face were swollen grotesquely, her lip split and bleeding. Her neck bore dark bruises where fingers had pressed.
Every mark screamed of Lily’s violence.
He clenched his fists. Elsa had already confessed her wrongs, and she had little time left to live–yet Lily still struck her so cruelly. His eyes burned scarlet with rage, and hatred surged so hot he could barely breathe. He longed to tear Lily apart.
His voice came out like ice cracking. “Lily, how dare you bully Lizzy like this? You should be damned!”

“Idiot child! You’re the one who should be damned! Shut your mouth!”
Dennis pressed a hand to his chest, veins throbbing in fury. One day, he swore, this disgraceful grandson would drive him to his grave.
“What’s going on here?”
Zoey had just finished her video call with an old friend, and Mary came down from upstairs at the same time. They both entered, only to see Elsa huddled in the corner, her face puffed into a grotesque mask. Both women nearly failed to hide the upward twitch at the corners of their mouths.
“Grandma, Mom, look what Lily did to Lizzy!”
Simon seized the moment toin, as if grasping for allies.
“I know Lily is selfish and petty, unwilling to ept Lizzy’s apology. But even if she won’t reconcile, she can’tsh out like this! She knows Lizzy haste–stage cancer and little time left, yet she still beat her so viciously. How can she be so cruel?”
“Pfah! You’re the cruel one!”

Zoey, terrified that her foolish grandson might hurt Lily for Elsa’s sake, hurried to Lily’s side to check on her. Seeing no p marks on Lily’s face and no visible. injuries, she sighed with relief.
Mary, on the other hand, cast Elsa a disdainful nce. “What ruthless attack? Elsa’s not dead, is she?”
“Mom!”
Simon nearly exploded from rage. Elsa was battered and bleeding before their eyes, yet his own mother still defended Lily. Couldn’t they see the truth? Did they have no humanity left?
“Lily, did all this frighten you?”
Zoey ignored his outburst, fussing over Lily again, then turned to James. “James, she must be shaken. When you take her home,fort her, calm her, don’t let her carry any shadows in her heart.”
“Grandma!”
Simon’s voice broke. Elsa was the one beaten, Elsa the one wronged–yet his grandmother only fretted over Lily’s feelings.
His once–carefree face twisted in fury, his voice rising to

a near–scream. “I know you all dote on Lily, but how can you be so blinded by favoritism that you can’t even tell right from wrong? She beat Lizzy half to death for no reason! Instead of shielding her, you should demand that she apologize to Lizzy!”
Elsa closed her eyes, tears sliding silently down her checks, praying the elders‘ hearts would tilt just slightly toward her.
But Dennis’s reply cut sharp as a knife. “Lily is my chosen granddaughter–inw. You think I’d take the side of some lying, shameless, venomous girl over her? An apology? My granddaughter–inw gave a slut a few ps, so what? If you expect Lily to apologize, you’re dreaming!”
“Grandfather!”
Simon trembled with rage. They were all unreasonable, ganging up on Elsa while she stood utterly alone. He couldn’t bear to see the girl who had once shared life and death with him treated this way. He would demand
justice for her, no matter what.
He turned his gaze on Lily, dangerous and sharp. “Lily, apologize to Lizzy.”
“Scoundrel!”

And James’s eyes, already cold, turned cial. His stare was lethal as he drew Lily closer into his embrace.
“My Lily will never apologize to Elsa. Not now, not ever.”
“My girlfriend does not bow to anyone.”
“Lily has always been upright and clear in her conscience. I don’t believe she would strike without reason. Instead of condemning her blindly, you should be asking that wretched woman on the floor what vile thing she did to deserve it.”
