Chapter 3 Selena's face instantly turned pale . Almost in the blink of an eye , she rushed over to grab my hands , putting on an innocent and pleading expression : " I'm sorry , Jossie , I forgot ! It's all my fault for falling down the stone steps as a child and injuring my brain , forgetting I'm allergic to red fruit pulp ! Don't be angry , okay ? I can eat other flavors too ! " Her hypocritical appearance made me unable to help but sneer coldly . The first time I made blood berry pie , I didn't know she was allergic to red fruit pulp . At that time , to prove my sincerity toward Selena , I endured my hands being burned countless times before baking the perfect pie crust . As a result , she fainted after just one taste . When she woke up , the first thing she did was throw herself into my parents ' arms crying : " Daddy , Mommy , the blood berry pie was Jossie's heartfelt gesture . She said one bite would be fine . It's all because I was greedy , don't blame her ! " I stood by the bed , feeling my parents ' resentful gazes fall on me , helplessly explaining : " I really didn't know she was allergic to red fruit pulp , she never told me ...

My father lifted his leg and kicked me flying three meters away . It hurt so much I couldn't even crawl up . " The whole family knows - how could she not tell you? Stop making excuses ! I think you just can't tolerate Selena and deliberately harmed her ! " So I was locked in the basement for three whole days . Three days without food , without water , without even the freedom to go outside to use the bathroom . When I was let out , I had already fainted . Thinking of these things , I coldly refused Selena's request : " My skills aren't refined enough to make the blood berry pie you want . If you want to eat it , go buy it yourself . " She wouldn't let go , hugging my arm tightly , her voice carrying a hint of fear : " Okay , I won't eat cake then . Jossie , don't be angry , okay ? " But the vicious hatred flashing in her eyes made my heart turn cold . The hand gripping my arm grew tighter and tighter , her sharp nails scratching several bloody marks on my skin . I pulled my hand back in pain , but she collapsed powerlessly to the ground , as if I had pushed her down . The room instantly fell silent , everyone's faces changing dramatically . 11:25 The Alpha's Regret : Begging for His Outcast Mate Learn in - demand skills from real - world experts and excel Shon now Chapter 3 Mother quickly ran over to help her up , nervously checking for injuries . Selena seemed to have bumped her elbow and nestled in Mother's arms whimpering : " Mom , it hurts ... " Owen frowned , rolled up her sleeve , gently rubbed her joints , then turned to scold me sternly : " Jossie ! You've gone too far ! " Father's anger flared even more , stepping forward to give me a slap directly . " Jossie , you really don't know what's good for you ! If you hadn't pushed Selena down the stone steps when you were little , would she have injured her brain ? " " I should never have given birth to you , knowing how vicious you are ! No dinner tonight - go back to your room and reflect properly ! " That slap made my whole body shake with pain . I felt like one of my back molars had been loosened . Mother looked at the blood seeping from the corner of my mouth and showed a trace of reluctance . But the next second , just because Selena cried harder , she looked away and turned to comfort Selena instead . I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and turned back to my room . Not to reflect , but to get the luggage I had already packed .
