Chapter 4
Finally, that specialist team operated on me anyway.
As expected, even world–class experts couldn’t fully restore my severely damaged hands and feet.
From now on, I couldn’t lift anything over two pounds, and running or dancing would be impossible.
After the anesthesia wore off, I endured the agony of having my limbs cut open again.
Aria arrived at my hospital room, surrounded by medical staff and specialists.
“Sister, I know you hate me, but going to such extremes to hurt me will only make Mr. Reid seek brutal revenge. Why put yourself through this?”
Her smoke–laden eyes welled with tears, radiating fragility and helplessness.
It was this exact act that triggered every man’s protective instinct, including my own father and
brother.
I still remembered when she first arrived at the Shred household–her fingers rough with calluses. She and her homewrecker mother had eaten leftover food and slept on the streets.
Now, ten years in the Shred family had transformed her into a delicate porcelain doll with skin like cream, every bit the pampered young lady of a noble house.
“This time, I allowed the specialists to save you as a favor to Julian. But at my birthday gala next month, you’ll apologize to me publicly. That’s my condition for saving you. I hope you won’t go back on your word.”
I coldly raised my eyes: “Who agreed to that?”
Julian stepped forward and said, “I did.”
His face was expressionless as he stared at me, as if I was being unnecessarily cause drama.
I laughed coldly:
“All of you, get out!”

This man I’d loved for three years–I didn’t want him anymore!
Aria’s tears finally fell.
“Sister, I’m only thinking of what’s best for you! If you don’t submit, do you want Mr. Reid to take
matters into his own hands?”
She cried harder looking at my injured body.
Look at her–what a genuine show of emotion!
Julian frowned in displeasure and gently rubbed Aria’s back. “Aria, go home first. On your birthday, I promise she’ll be there to apologize!”
Aria was satisfied. As she lowered her head to wipe her tears, a cold smirk of victory tugged at her
lips.
When she looked up again, her eyes were clear as spring water. “I trust you, Julian.”
That look, probably melted his heart completely.
I watched him stare after Aria until she disappeared before turning back to me, and I couldn’t help
but laugh:
“If I don’t go, are you planning to drag me there by force?”
Julian’s brows furrowed. “Aria didn’t have to let those specialists operate on you!”
The implication was clear–I was ungrateful and didn’t know what was good for me.
“I told you, I can die. I never asked anyone to save me, including you!”
Julian seemed to recall something that made his hand tremble involuntarily. His face turned
frighteningly cold, but he didn’t say another word before silently withdrawing.
Soon, the news that I had bullied Aria to tears again reached my brother Alex’s ears.
My brother, who hadn’t shown his face once during my days struggling between life and death, immediately stormed to my bedside.
“Is the great Mr. Shred here to collect his sister’s corpse? Should I say you’re too early or too late?”

Alex frowned: “Katie, even after all this, you still don’t see your mistakes?”
His expression–like he was dealing with a stubborn child–was truly nauseating.
My voice turned cold:
“Were you the one who told me to kneel and apologize to Aria?”
Alex raised an eyebrow.
Rage surged in my chest: “Alex, you want me to kneel and apologize to the monster who killed our mother and deliberately destroyed her ashes?
“Alex, you’re something else! How can you face Mom’s spirit in heaven?”
SLAP!
Alex put his full strength behind that slap.
My already weakened body suffered a concussion from the sudden blow.
Through blurred vision, I saw Julian raise his hand, then lower it, resuming his position as a cold
observer.
laughed inwardly. This was the man I’d picked up from the streets, my bodyguard for three years…
My lip curled slightly as a drop of crimson stained the pristine white sheets, my mouth filling with
he taste of blood rust.
With a terribly head spun, I squeezed my eyes shut.
Alex instinctively reached out to steady me, but I avoided his touch.
Then I slowly opened my eyes and stared at him.
This was the first time Alex had ever laid hands on me, and even he hadn’t expected himself to hit so
lard!
tegret–perhaps he felt some, but not enough to change his position.
Alex hid his trembling fingers.

“Katie, stop the act! Even if you died right in front of me, I wouldn’t feel sorry for you!
“Aria would never do those things. If you dare slander or hurt her again, I’ll end you myself–even no need for Reid family to do anything!”
I laughed.
My own brother threatening to kill me for the sake of a vicious stepsister?
Hahaha, how could anything be so ridiculous?
“Alex, don’t worry. Even in death, I’ll drag my mother’s killer to hell with me, hahaha…”
I laughed until my entire body shook, tearing open my freshly stitched wounds as blood rapidly soaked through the bandages.
BEEP! BEEP!
The heart monitor’s shrill alarm suddenly filled the room.
Alex and Julian panicked simultaneously.
Two pairs of large hands pressed down on me.
“Katie, stop moving! I order you to stop moving!”
“Doctor! Doctor! Where the hell is the doctor!!”
