Chapter 4 When Elena woke again , the hospital room was so empty that her chest tightened with unease . Her right leg was wrapped in a thick cast . Even the slightest movement sent waves of pain crashing through her , leaving her drenched in col sweat . While the nurse was changing her dressing , she couldnt help but mutter , Theres another patient here , Ms. Constance Beck . She got sent in from the same accident . Her husband and child havent left her side once , But you your injuries were even more serious that you almost died . How come your family isnt here to take care of you ? That husband and child you just mentioned … theyre mine , Elena replied softly . The nurses face froze in embarrassment . She quickly finished changing the dressing and left in a fluster . Sunlight streamed through the window , falling on the white sheets . Still , it couldnt chase away the coldness inside her bones . By evening , the silence was shattered as the door to her room was suddenly kicked open . Robin stormed in , rage practically radiating off him . He grabbed her by the chin and yanked her face toward him as he asked , Was this car accident your doing ? Elenas pupils shrank . Do you know Constance almost got a scar on her face ? His grip tightened , fury boiling in his eyes . She wont look like Evangeline anymore if she gets disfigured … Π Elena let out a weak cough . It wasnt me … I didnt do anything . And … cant you see I was the one who got hurt the worst ? Even so , Robin didnt believe a word she said . He dragged her out of bed , and they went straight toward Constances hospital room . His voice was like ice as he spat , Come with me to apologize to Constance . I didnt do anything wrong . Her refusal only enraged him further . Fine ! If you wont apologize , Ill show you exactly what it means to destroy her face . I remember … You used to dance , didnt you ? Someone break Elena Larsons leg ! As soon as the words left his mouth , a bodyguard entered the roofn while holding a baseball bat . Elenas blood ran cold . No please , no … She struggled to escape , but two bodyguards pinned her down firmly on the hospital bed . The baseball bat immediately came crashing down or the cast around her right leg . There was a loud crack as the sound of her bone breaking echoed in the room . As the searing pain tore through her body and shattered her grip on reality , a ridiculous thought suddenly crossed Elenas mind she didnt even know how to dance . It was Evangeline who had won the gold medal in the ballet competition . It was her sister whom Robin could never forget . She was nothing more than the illegitimate daughter the Larson family kept hidden in the shadows . If Evangeline hadnt died , perhaps her father , Paul Larson , wouldve gone his entire life without remembering he even had another daughter . He wouldve never known how she and her mother had struggled to survive , relying only on each other . When the bodyguards finally let go , Elena curled up on the bed like a discarded doll . Cold sweat had soaked through her hospital gown . Robin stood by the bed , his expression frigid as he watched the nurse panic while scrambling to call the doctor . Remember how much this hurts . Maybe youll learn your lesson next time . Days passed , and not a single person came to visit Elena . Until one afternoon , when Paul burst into the hospital room and slammed a stack of photos across her face . This is how you uphold the bond between our families ? By letting a fake trample all over you ? The sharp edges of the photos scratched her cheek , drawing thin lines of blood . When she picked them up and looked , they were all images of Constance with Robin and Kane , smiling and living in bliss . These have nothing to do with me . Plus , the six years are up , Elena replied calmly . Its time for me to leave . We had a deal . Once the marriage ended , Id get to live my life with Mom . Just as Paul was about to explode , the hospital door flew open with a bang . Robin stood in the doorway , his face dark as a storm . Do you mean it ? he asked coldly .
