Chapter 8 " If you knew I was afraid , then why did you lock me in that pitch - black storage room when I was five ? " I asked him , but of course , he couldn't hear me . He got out of the cab barefoot , his feet scraped raw and bleeding against the pavement , but he seemed oblivious , rushing straight toward Sasha's place . " Where's Eileen's body ? Give me her body - I want to bring her home ! " My dad grabbed Sasha by the arm . She looked at him coldly . " Eileen said once her research was done , she wanted to be cremated , her ash- es scattered at sea . Somewhere far from you and Felix . She never wanted to see either of you again . " Her voice was calm , but the blow landed harder than anything else she'd said . He staggered , collapsing onto the ground , his lips trembling , tears streaming down his face as he mum- bled like a madman . " She hated me ... She hated me right up until the end ... " I couldn't bear to watch him like that , so I turned away - only to find Felix standing there , his face deathly pale . He looked so wounded that my heart ached for him , but beneath it all was just a deep , bitter pain . " If you really cared about me , after all the times I told you I was sick , why didn't you ever try to find out the truth ? Why did you , just like my dad , assume I was lying ? " I stood in front of him and asked . But he couldn't hear me either - he just walked right through me . Felix turned to Sasha . " Did she really say that ? That she never wanted to see us , even after she died ? " His voice shook , like he'd just been dealt a fatal blow . We'd been together for seven years , and I'd never seen him look so broken . Sasha sneered , " Why would I lie to you ? Where were you when Eileen was getting treatment ? Where were you when she was in agony ? Where were you when she was rushed into the ER ? 0.0 % 09:23 Chapter 8 " You were with Lydia ! And fucking lying about being on business trips ! 288 Vouchers " Felix , if you have even a shred of decency , don't you dare mention her ashes to me again . I was her friend . I won't let you people ruin her , even after death ! " With that , Sasha dumped a basin of water over my dad and Felix , shouting , " Get out ! Both of you , get out ! " Honestly , I just wanted to stay by her side a little longer , to see her more . In my next life , I might never have a friend as good as her . But the moment my dad moved , I felt myself drifting away with him . Everywhere they went , people pointed and whispered , just like they used to do to me . They ended up living together , trying to take care of Lydia . After they got home , the hospital called . Lydia had fractured both her legs in the fall and was now des- perate to die . She'd just come out of the ER after slashing her wrists again . The hospital wanted them to come pay her bills and look after her . My dad just sat on the bed , not eating , not drinking , not moving at all . Felix had the hospital staff hand the phone to Lydia . He told her , " You could die a hundred times , and it wouldn't matter to me anymore ! I only agreed to marry you out of pity because you were hanging by a thread . " But you you're manipulative , fragile , selfish ... You wield your depression like a weapon , doing what- ever it takes to get your way ! I regret everything . Because of someone like you , I broke Eileen's heart . You're not even worth a single strand of her hair ! " I'd never heard him say anything so harsh - especially to Lydia . He used to tell me , " Lydia's still your sister . She's got severe depression , and she's more sensitive than anyone . Don't hold it against her . " On the phone , Lydia's sobs and screams kept coming , " Felix , I love you so much . How could you say that to me ? Are you trying to drive me to suicide ? " " Then go ahead and do it ! " Felix said coldly and hung up . 48.2 % Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
