Chapter 4

On the third morning, Vanessa, as usual, came into my room as soon as she woke up.

“Lauren, how are you feeling today? Is your appetite any better?”

She expertly checked my condition while asking softly.

I didn’t answer, only glanced indifferently at her bandaged hand.

It was still oozing blood.

Seeing me silent, Vanessa, as always, massaged my limbs.

She moved my joints, preventing muscle atrophy.

Her movements were gentle, as if she were tending to a precious treasure.

“Lauren, look how nice the weather is today.”

“After breakfast, I’ll push you outside to get some sun. The doctor said outdoor activities are good for your health.”

She looked out the window, trying to find topics of conversation.

But I remained cold.

“No thanks.”

Her hand paused slightly, and she said nothing more.

After the massage, she fetched warm water, meticulously washed my face and hands, then made me breakfast.

The livestream comments continued to scroll:

“This sister is still being her same stubborn, lifeless act today. It’s infuriating.”

“Exactly! Her sister’s hand is so badly injured, and she still has to take care of her. Does she not even offer a word of concern?”

“Honestly disgusting. Some people just don’t deserve kindness!”

That day, Vanessa didn’t go to work.

She said she wanted to spend quality time with me.

After finishing everything, she pushed me to the balcony to get some sun.

She combed my hair, trimmed my nails, and cleaned my ears.

She made sure every inch of me was clean and tidy.

After all the chores, she pulled a small stool and sat beside me.

Gripping my hand tightly, she began to speak softly.

“Lauren, do you remember? When we were little, you loved to pull me onto the balcony to sunbathe. You said the sun always made you feel better.”

“On my wedding day, you cried so much, clinging to my hand and refusing to let go.”

“You once said your biggest wish was for me to be happy…”

As she spoke, her eyes welled up.

Just then, her phone rang.

But she didn’t answer. Instead, she gave me a deep look, then hung up.

Then, she looked at me, a faint smile on her face.

“Lauren, it’s time.”

I smiled faintly.

This moment, it was finally here.

With that, Vanessa straightened up, gave me a cryptic look.

And then she did something that stunned every single viewer watching the livestream…
