"Are you saying that my mother went to see you and was taken as you, so she was poisoned?"
Nicole trembled, and her eyes were filled with hatred for Sally.
Sally's tears flowed uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."
"Do you think your apology can solve all the problems? Why do you think I can forgive you with just an apology? She was my mom! When you were young, you plotted against her, causing her and my father to separate for a lifetime. And since I was born, I didn't know who my biological parents were. I went through all the hardships to find my biological mother, only to find that she had cancer and would soon die. Why do you think you can cancel out so many things with just an apology? Sally, how could you? Is it just because you are my mother's sister, and because you are related to me?"
Nicole pushed Sally angrily. Her hands trembled so much as if she wanted to grab her neck and break it.
Sally's wound was torn, and she trembled and went into spasm, but she could not fight back.
"I know you hate me, and I know I'm sorry for my sister, but what can I do? I was destined to have a miserable fate since I was born. I was brought away from my parents just a few hours after I was born. Do you know how I got through all these years? No, you don't know! No one knows!"
Sally suddenly burst into tears.
"I was tossed into the primeval mountain forest from a young age. I had to learn how to survive in the harsh environment by snatching food with the beasts. When I was bitten by a beast and almost died for several times, I yearned for my parents' care and love so much. However, every time I woke up from my dreams, I was filled with despair. I thought there would be a turning point in my life when I finally left the forest and was thrown to an island to train with children of the same age, but I was wrong. It was a massacre. If I didn't kill others, I was going to be killed."
"Do you know how it felt like to kill someone for the first time? I was eight that year. When you were eight-year-old, what were you doing? Cuddling in your parents' arms? While you were fantasizing about whether you would have new clothes to wear tomorrow, I was killing people! At eighteen, the most beautiful age, you fantasized about love and your prince charming, but what about me? I was trained to be a professional assassin, using my beauty to accomplish my mission. There was no reward for completing the mission, and I could only live like a walking corpse. However, if I failed the mission, the punishment would be like hell on earth, a cruelty you can't even imagine!"
"What could I do? I used to resist and try to run away, but I failed. I was like a fish on a chopping board, which could only be slaughtered. When I received the mission to approach William, I knew for the first time that I had parents and a sister, but my sister was the target of my mission. I watched her spend so many years happily with her parents and watched her fall in love with her prince charming. Do you know how much I hated and envied her at that time? Why wasn't she the one who was kidnapped back then, but me? I know that I was crazy. I kept scolding myself every day, but I still had to carry out my mission. No one knew the torment in my heart."
"I wanted to identify myself with her. I wanted to tell her that I was her twin sister, but I was discovered just when I thought of it. Do you know what I went through because of it? I was drowned in the water for more than an hour with my head pressed down! That pungent feeling was like a blunt knife cutting flesh. I couldn't struggle away, and I couldn't die. They tortured my mind again and again, whipped my body, and drove away the remained little bit of compassion and kindness of mine. I'm a killer! I can't have feelings, nor my own freedom. And I can't even have any other thoughts! I want to live, and I must lose something if I want to get the freedom. Nicole, I just want to live. Living is easy and simple for you all, but for me. It is a kind of extravagant hope for me! Do you understand? "
Sally was already sobbing.
Nicole suddenly didn't know what to say.
She had never experienced such a life before. She did not know what she would do if she were Sally.
She wanted to say some harsh words, but she couldn't.
Did she hate Sally?
Yes, she did.
After all, because of Sally, her mother and father were separated for a lifetime.
But did she empathize Sally?
Yes, she did.
Seeing Sally cry so hard, Nicole wanted to go forward, hug Sally in her arms and say, "It's fine. You're home now, and you still have us."
However, she couldn't say those words anyhow.
She had thousands of thoughts in her heart, but she didn't know how to face Sally.
Nicole suddenly turned around and left the ward.
The moment the door closed, she heard Sally's grieving cry from the room. Her cry was presumptuous, suppressed, regretful, and sad. All sorts of emotions were mixed, forming a dense net that made her unable to struggle, but suffocated.
Sally didn't know how long she had been crying. Perhaps she was tired, or perhaps she fainted. In short, there was no sound in the end.
Nicole was afraid that something would happen to her, so she called the doctor and nurse over. After the doctor gave her a check-up, the doctor said that Sally had only fainted. She nodded when she heard the words.
She thought for a moment and called Laurence.
Laurence's injuries weren't serious. When he received Nicole's phone call, he was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything.
"Mrs. Green."
"Bring over the elites of Night Elf Empire to guard Sally."
Nicole sounded powerless, but Laurence was slightly stunned.
"Mrs. Green, I have been dismissed from my post."
"From the moment you attacked Cynthia, you have been reinstated."
After Nicole finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Her mind was weighed down with anxiety, like the unbreakable haze in the sky.
Nicole walked alone in the corridor. She recalled what Sally said just now and suddenly realized something.
Sally was a killer!
Moreover, she was a professional killer!
Then how good was the person who was able to injure Sally?
Something was wrong!
Sally was injured on her chest. If she had been prepared, she would not have suffered such a serious injury unless she was familiar that person.
Nicole suddenly turned around as she thought of this. She quickly returned to Sally's ward. Unfortunately, the ward was empty.
Sally was gone!
Nicole suddenly frowned.
Nicole followed behind, changing directions and routes from time to time, but she did not lose Sally.
Soon, Sally got off at the First Cemetery.
Nicole frowned slightly.
The First cemetery?
What was she doing here?
Sally still cautiously looked around before walking inside.
Nicole knew that it was dangerous for her to do so, but she didn't have time to call backups. Today, she just wanted to see what Sally wanted to do.
Sally went straight to a tombstone, and tears suddenly flowed down her face.
She knelt in front of the tombstone and suddenly hugged it, crying heartily.
Because Nicole was far away, she could not see whose name was on the tombstone, but her nose was a little sore from Sally's crying.
Was this woman going to cry all the tears she hadn't cried for decades today?
She frowned and waited.
After Sally cried for a while, she said something. Nicole couldn't hear it clearly from too far away, but Sally's choking voice came intermittently.
After she finished crying, she kowtowed three times to the tombstone, then got up and walked away.
Nicole quickly followed and took a look, and she was so shocked!
The picture on the tombstone was her grandma!
Grandma was actually buried here.
Nicole had never heard of where her grandma was buried after her death. Audrey had never said anything about it, nor did Edwin. She never thought that her grandma would actually be buried in a public cemetery like the First Cemetery.
But it was reasonable. When grandma died, only Martha was by her side, living a life of desperation. How could Martha have the money to bury her in a private cemetery?
However, why did Sally know about this place?
Could it be that Sally was crying for grandma here just now?
Nicole was puzzled.
She watched as Sally gradually walked away. She couldn't help but kowtow three times to her grandma and quickly followed Sally. However, she suddenly saw a person waiting there at the exit.
