Chapter 136
When they entered the room, the caregiver quickly stood up to greet them, “Mr. Zane.”
Zane nodded and said, “Take a break. We’ll stay with her.”
“Sure thing.” The caregiver left the room.
Sarah turned her head, and upon seeing Elysia, her expression changed instantly, as if she
had just spotted an adversary. Her lips pressed tightly together, brows furrowed, her breathing became more rapid.
“Sarah!” Zane, noticing her hostility, chided her with displeasure in his voice.
Sarah looked at Zane, biting her lip, her face a picture of hurt feelings.
Zane said, “I invited Elysia over, and she’s here to keep you company.”
Sarah glanced at Elysia again, the animosity not as intense as before, but still far from friendly.
This time, she only gave Elysia a quick look before shifting her gaze away.
Elysia grew even more suspicious.
Women are sensitive, and Sarah’s hostility towards her, unrelated to her mood, seemed ingrained in her very bones.
But Elysia had no recollection of meeting Sarah before. Where was this animosity coming
from?
Elysia decided to clear the air.
“Zane, could you step out for a moment? I’d like to have a word with her alone.”
Zane immediately nodded. “Alright, you haven’t had breakfast yet, right? I’ll go grab something for you.”
“Thanks.”
Before leaving, Zane gave Sarah another inscrutable look.
Elysia pulled up a chair beside the hospital bed and got straight to the point, “Do I know you from before?”
“No!”
“Did I ever offend you in any way?”
Sarah’s lips quivered as she looked at Elysia, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Your expression says I did something to upset you, but I’m sorry, I really can’t recall. I
don’t know you, and I’ve never seen you before. Is there a mix–up, or is there some kind of

misunderstanding?”
Sarah bit her lip and then blurted out, “I would recognize you even if you turned to ash.
Elysia was taken aback. “So, it’s not a case of mistaken identity. But I can’t remember any incident between us. Can you be more specific?”
Sarah fe!! silent again.
Elysia kept her cool, saying, “I’m close friends with your cousin’s wife Winona and went to school with your cousin. They know what kind of person I am. I wouldn’t hurt someone for no reason…”
“Are you implying that I’m accusing you falsely?” Sarah snapped back angrily.
Elysia shook her head. “I’m saying, let’s talk it out. If I’m really at fault, I’ll apologize.”
“Apologize? Ha, who cares about your apology? Do you think it’s that valuable? Do you think a simple sorry can fix the hurt you’ve caused me? I despise you! I loathe you! Why don’t you just die? You’re such good friends with Winona, right? You should have died with her! I wish you all were dead!”
Suddenly, Sarah began to scream and thrash, pounding on the bed sheets.
The commotion was so intense that it alerted the doctors and nurses.
A flurry of medical staff rushed in, and without letting Elysia utter a word, they injected
Sarah with a sedative.
“Hello, are you a relative of the patient?” the doctor asked.
Elysia sat in shock at the bedside, her mind reeling from Sarah’s outburst.
“Hello, you…”
As the doctor tried to speak further, Elysia stood up abruptly, gripping Sarah’s arm tightly, and asked, “Explain yourself, what do you mean I should have died with Winona? What happened to her? Speak up! Talk!”
Now it was Elysia’s turn to unravel. Sarah’s words had left her pale, her heart pounding furiously in her chest.
