Chapter 6 I really didnt know what I owed Luke Crawford ; I just truly liked him , a lot .
When he first went blind , he bumped into a vase while walking , and I rushed to help him , afraid he might get hurt .
But he pushed me onto the broken vase pieces .
I studied his preferences and honed my cooking skills bit by bit , but whenever he was in a bad mood , he would flip the entire table over , spilling hot broth onto my hand .
I didnt even make a sound .
Because he couldnt distinguish between day and night and had trouble sleeping , I stayed up all night reading to him .
I treated him like a treasure , carefully trying to soothe him .
1/13 Chapter 6 + 5 Points For these six years , I took care of him with all my heart and effort .
But every time he got drunk , every time he was in a bad mood , he would repeatedly say , Sylvia Green , thats all you owe me ! You owe me ! But Luke Crawford , what exactly do I owe you ? Is loving you also a kind of debt ? I thought that by leaving , I could start a new life .
But I didnt expect that Luke Crawford would force me back in this way .
That day , I was in the middle of signing the rental contract when I received a call from the property management .
Bella White was causing a scene in Luke Crawfords 2/13 Chapter 6 5 Points MICH apartment .
They couldnt get in touch with Luke Crawford and could only contact me .
When I rushed back , the door was wide open .
Bella White was sitting in the middle of the living room , and the things I had packed , preparing to move out , were all thrown around in chaos .
A crowd of neighbors had gathered outside , watching .
The looks they gave me carried an indescribable meaning .
But I didnt have time to care about that ; I was frantically searching for something amidst the mess .
Finally , I spotted the corner of a box sticking 3/13 + 5 Points out from an overturned storage bin .
I rushed over without thinking , but Bella White grabbed my hair .
With a haughty look , she glared at me and said , You shameless woman , trying to seduce my husband ! As expected , a mother who is a mistress raises a daughter who becomes one too ! What did you say ? I was furious and lunged at her , trying to rip her mouth off .
She pulled hard on my hair , and I felt an excruciating pain on my scalp .
Then she slapped me across the face with force .
Half of my face swelled up , and I fell to the ground .
This is what happens when you seduce 4/13 pter 6 + 5 Points other peoples husbands ! She held her head high , smiling victoriously at me .
The murmurs of the onlookers grew louder and louder , surrounding me .
I see , so shes the mistress .
No wonder she always looks so strange never talking or smiling whenever we see her .
Yeah , the last time I asked her , she said she was just their housekeeper .
Turns out shes being kept … Shes so young , and instead of doing something good , shes out here destroying other peoples families .
I heard those voices , but I only smiled faintly .
Bella White didnt need to go this far ; I was already leaving anyway .
5/13 pter 6 + 5 Points Holding my box , I silently stood up and began to leave , but suddenly , Bella White pushed me from behind .
She grabbed the box from me , smiling as she pulled out a jade bracelet , green and lustrous .
So , you were hiding something good after all .
Did Luke give this to you ? Give it back ! Its something my mother left for me ! I wantded to turn to grab it , but a sharp pain seized my stomach , and I reflexively bent over , clutching it .
Bella White raised the bracelet high above me .
6/13 5 Points Give it back ! It wasnt given to me by Luke Crawford .
Its my mothers ! I glared at her , my anger clear , speaking every word slowly and deliberately .
It was the only keepsake my mother had left us , a bracelet meant to protect me and Daniel .
We each had one .
I could not let this woman take it .
Bella White was momentarily startled by the fierceness in my eyes , shrinking back slightly .
But then , her eyes suddenly lit up .
Luke ! She rushed to meet him .
Luke Crawford arrived in a hurry .
The property management had cleared the neighbors watching the spectacle and quickly apologized before leaving , leaving us alone to handle our family matters .
7/13 +5 Points He frowned , glanced at me , then at Bella White , but remained silent .
It was clear that anyone who had their private life turned into a public spectacle wouldnt be in the best of moods .
I didnt care about Luke Crawford .
My eyes were fixed only on the bracelet my mother had left me .
I lunged at Bella White , but this time , Luke Crawford stopped me .
Luke Crawford , that bracelet was left to me by my mother … My eyes were red , but I still looked at him with a glimmer of hope .
With just one word from him , Bella White wouldnt dare to make any trouble .
But Luke Crawfords expression was so cold , as though I had committed some 8/13 Points unforgivable crime .
Bella White , now emboldened , grew more audacious .
Oh , its your moms ? Sorry , I thought it was a gift from Luke .
Here , Ill give it back to you .
With that , she lightly tossed the bracelet .
I tried to catch it , but it was too late .
I could only watch helplessly as the bracelet fell to the ground and shattered into pieces .
My face went pale in an instant , as though my heart had shattered into pieces along with it .
Luke Crawford seemed to not expect Bella White to actually throw the bracelet .
Seeing my distressed expression , he tried to comfort me : Sylvia , its just a bracelet .
Bella White didnt mean it .
Ill buy you another one .

9/13 I suddenly turned around .
Didnt mean it ?! I laughed out loud , but tears unexpectedly slid down my face .
My eyes were bloodshot as I stared at him , stepping closer , one step at a time .
Then tell me , Luke Crawford , what do you mean by mean it ! Why was Bella White allowed into this apartment ? Isnt it because you gave her the key ? The jade bracelet was the only thing my mother left for me .
It was a token to protect me and Daniel ! Why do you think you can just throw it away , break it whenever you want ?! years All the of infatuation , sacrifice , endurance , and grievance suddenly broke loose .
The string that had bound me snapped at that moment .
I couldnt stop laughing , tears crawling down 10/13 my swollen face .
Luke Crawford ! What did I do wrong that you have to treat me this way ?! Like a madwoman , I rushed at Bella White , slapped her hard , and grabbed her hair .
I would return everything she had inflicted on me .
Luke Crawford might have been stunned by my accusations and my frantic actions .
By the time he came to his senses , Bella White and I were already wrestling with each other .
But he still chose to push me away , protecting Bella White .
Sylvia Green , are you out of your mind ?! Bella White was crying in his arms .
My hair was disheveled , half my face 11/13 swollen , with faint traces of blood .
I suddenly felt like I had lost all my strength , sitting on the ground , staring blankly at the shattered jade bracelet .
Everything before me suddenly seemed absurd .
The person I had devoted six years of my life to , allowing my mothers legacy to be destroyed before my eyes , and watching me being beaten , yet choosing to protect someone else .
So what was I to him ? It turned out that from the beginning , it was , just a transaction , a one sided wish on my part .
At some point , my phone fell out of my 12/13 pocket , ringing incessantly .
The abrupt ringtone sounded like a dirge , lamenting my years of humiliation and wishful thinking .
Finally , after who knew how many times the ringtone had sounded , I numbly picked up the phone from the ground and pressed the answer button .
A hurried voice came through .
Miss Green ? This is the hospital .
Your brother is in critical condition .
Please come quickly … My ears buzzed explosively , and it felt as if the world suddenly collapse before my eyes .
