During the chemical leak, the elderly and the weak family members quickly passed away due to the complications.

But my parents and my brother had a chance to survive.

According to the doctor, there was indeed a specific medicine for this disease, but it was not only expensive, but also hard to obtain. After all, it was not in abundant supply.

I cried and begged Zachary for help, asking him to think of a solution for me.

Zachary agreed.

He agreed!

Then he suddenly disappeared.

I went crazy, looking for him those days, but there was no trace of him. My family members missed the best time to take medication.

When my parents died in front of me, all the love I had for him was gone. I didn't even have any hatred against him. I was indifferent to him, and I was disgusted with him.

But Zachary thought that I was being stubborn now. He said, "Siena, can't you be as sensible as Eileen? Her dog is like family to her. When her family died, she was so sad. How can I not accompany her? I didn't answer your call. That's all. Is it necessary for you to react so strongly?"

"Can't you be as sensible as Eileen?"

"I should be as sensible as Eileen."

"Zachary always says so to me."

"Why do I have to be like her? Why do I have to be sensible in his way?"

"Zachary said they grew up together since childhood. Because of their sibling bond, they can't be separated, so I must allow Eileen to be involved in our relationship, right?"

"I can't be jealous of Eileen. I must tolerate Eileen taking all his care and love from me. I must tolerate Eileen easily taking away my lover with a phone call or a text message. I must tolerate Eileen doing all kinds of things that go beyond the boundaries between family members?"

"Fine. I'll be sensible. I won't ask him anything. I won't mind, but what do I get in return? They demand things from me and hurt me endlessly."

"I've had enough of a life like this!"

I sneered and looked at Zachary indifferently. I said, "As for what you want to do in the future and where you want to go, it has nothing to do with me anymore. From today on, we will never see each other again."

After saying that, I wanted to leave directly.

Zachary noticed that something was wrong with me. He grabbed my hand urgently and said, "Is it because your family is giving you a hard time? I can explain it to them."

Suddenly, I felt that I was indeed out of my mind to fall in love with such a person.

He wouldn't have said such absurd and foolish things if he had been willing to return my call or message, or even ask his friend about the details In these past few days.

I forcefully shook off his hand, saying, "No need!"

"For so many years, I have always been gentle, obedient, careful and well-behaved to please Zachary. I would never be cold and indifferent like I am now."

At that moment, Zachary was a bit flustered. He realized that I wasn't just saying it. He knew that I would indeed leave.

"Siena..." Zachary wanted to come up and pull me, but Eileen stopped him.

Eileen sneered at me. She said, "It was your greedy relatives who wanted more. What does it have to do with Zachary? Chemical leakage? Acute leukemia? More than ten family members of yours are inflicted with illnesses consecutively. And they need such expensive special medicine? How could such a series of coincidence happen? They are pretending to be sick, trying to cheat money out of Zachary!"

I turned back to look at Eileen in disbelief.

Eileen provocatively looked at me. She was implying that I was a gold digger.

I slapped Eileen hard across her face.

Zachary's face changed. As usual, he protected Eileen behind him. He looked guarded, saying indifferently, "Siena, apologize to Eileen!"

With my eyes red, I stared fiercely at Eileen. I said, "Watch your mouth! You're the dirty one. Don't think everyone else is as dirty as you!"

Eileen covered her face and said grievously, "What's wrong with me? Did I say something wrong? What you said is impossible in the first place, right? Zachary, don't you think so too?"

I looked at Zachary incredulously and asked, "So you also think I'm lying to you?"

Zachary didn't answer.

But I got the answer from his eyes.

"That's why he never went to the hospital. He refused to go to the ICU to witness the situation with his own eyes. Facing the photos and videos I sent him, he wasn't convinced."

"Before, I begged Zachary desperately for the special medicine. I event knelt. It turns out that he always treats me as a deceitful performer, treating me like a clown."

"Perhaps, he thinks I'm a woman, who will do anything for money, deep down."

"I've always known that Zachary looks down on me.'

"He is the heir of the Foster family and the little young master, whom everyone pampers."

I fell in love with him at first sight during a club activity at university. I chased after him for four years.

I inquired about his preferences and changed my style. Knowing that he liked obedient and docile women, I acted humbly, followed the rules he set up for me, and took care of him in every way. I was so submissive.

Later, I met Eileen. Only then did realize that Zachary allowed others to break all his rules.

"Eileen can act cute and be willful. She can hug him and be naughty whenever she wants. She can directly express her dislikes. She can get angry if she doesn't want to do something."

"No matter what she does, he will compromise and spoil her unconditionally."

"She does everything that I desire, I expect, and I am not allowed to do, so naturally."

After being with Eileen for six years, I feel like I was just someone with the title of Zachary's girlfriend.

"I long to do things that other couples do, including being affectionate and hugging each other. He criticizes me for the simplest act of holding hands. He reminds me being clear about my position."

"My position? So I, his girlfriend, am so insignificant that I am not allowed to hold his hands, right?"

"In the eyes of others, Eileen is the one he cherishes and dotes on."

"He takes Eileen to various gatherings, helps her integrate to his social circle, and introduces her to everyone."

"But I never love him for his money. I am gentle, and I make compromise. I do so to get equal treatment I want from the man I love."

"But he thinks so poorly of me.'

I looked at Zachary with extreme disappointment.

"This is the man I have been in love with for ten years. I must have been so love-struck that I beautify him into a god!"

Eileen covered her face and said, "Zachary, please help me have a check. My face hurts so much! Is it swollen? Ouch, why is Siena so mean to me?"

Zachary immediately turned around to look at her.

I hadn't eaten much these days. After all. I had been busy with the funeral. I didn't exert much force while slapping her. Eileen's face was a little red. There wouldn't be any other problems.

Zachary had always put Eileen first. He was extremely nervous at the sight of any red marks on her face.

Zachary's face changed. He said, "Siena! Apologize! Right now! Don't make me angry!"

"Will he be angry? I used to be afraid of Zachary getting angry, fearing that he would ignore me and leave me."

"Now his emotions no longer mattered to me."

"No. We have broken up, Zachary. You have no right to order me." I sneered and turned around to leave.

"If they want to continue a love drama, whatever. I'm too lazy to care about them."

"You!" Zachary stepped forward to grab me, but Eileen pulled him back.

She realized that Zachary might contact me again if we continue to be deadlocked.

Eileen acted coquettishly, saying, "I'm fine, Zachary. We need to bury Lucy first. I think this place is good. Let's bury her here."

I walked quickly out of the cemetery. Before I reached the gate, I received a call from the cemetery manager.

"Miss Reid, someone wants the land where your parent's graves are. They have arrived here. They are digging it. We can't stop them..."

I was shocked. A ridiculously absurd thought came to my mind.

"Will it be Zachary and Eileen?"

I hurried back to the cemetery. Then I saw Eileen leaning in Zachary's arms, crying sadly.

"Zachary, I want to plant lots of flowers for Lucy, so it can be beautiful."

In front of her were my parent's graves. Someone dug up by the graves by machines and shovels, burying Eileen's dog there.

My parent's urns were casually thrown aside.

My mind buzzed. I rushed forward, pushing the workers angrily, and shouting at the top of my lungs, "What are you doing?"

Eileen frowned, saying, "Siena? Weren't you gone? Why are you back? This is not your family's grave. Why are you in such a hurry? What? Are you eager to see your family die?"

I was furious, saying, "Shut up! Say that again. I'll punch you in the mouth!"

Zachary protected Eileen and shouted at me, "What are you up to, Siena! Are you out of your mind?"

I was so angry that I grabbed the worker's shovel like a madman. I wanted to dig out the ashes of Eileen's dog.

Zachary stopped me and snatched the shovel, throwing it aside forcefully. He said, "Are you crazy, Siena?"

"Get out of the way, Zachary!" I shook off Zachary's hand without hesitation. Crying and kneeling on the ground, I dug the soil with my hands.

Zachary was frightened by my appearance.

He panicked and said, "Siena, what are you doing..."

Seeing that I was about to dig up her dog's ashes, Eileen anxiously looked at the Foster family's bodyguards standing aside.

"What are you all standing there for? Stop this crazy woman! She must hate me so much that she wants to dig up Lucy's ashes!"

The Foster family's bodyguards quickly came forward and held me down.

My face was pressed firmly into the mud. The stones scratched my face, but I didn't care about the pain.

"Let them release me." I raised my bloody face and stared at Zachary.

"Zachary, she's so horrible!" Eileen pretended to be scared and deliberately hid behind Zachary. Her voice trembled, but her eyes were full of provocation.

"Siena, have you had enough of this? You pushed Eileen just now. Apologize to her and I'll let you go!" Zachary looked at me indifferently. It seemed that everything I had done was just a farce.

"You're dreaming!" I gritted my teeth. With a fierce look in my eyes, I wanted to tear Eileen apart.

Eileen pretended to be scared, hiding in Zachary's arms. Trembling, she said, "Forget it, Zachary. A crazy woman like Siena can do anything terrifying! You'd better drive her away quickly. I don't want to see her again! Today, she dared to touch Lucy's ashes. Who knows if she will try to kill me in the future!"

"Siena, apologize to Eileen now. I can pretend that nothing happened. You are still my girlfriend. I will give you whatever you want. If you want the special medicine, I will find it for you." Zachary looked at me, hoping that I would compromise with him unconditionally, the same way as before.

"I absolutely won't!" I tried to break free from the bodyguards' restraints. They were too strong. My struggles were futile.

"If you don't agree, I will never give you the special medicine."

There was a hint of contempt in Zachary's eyes. He believed that I was deceiving him. He didn't think it had anything to do with human life.

Eileen noticed my reaction, saying, "Zachary, I told you she was deceiving you. Look, she doesn't even have any reaction to the special medicine. She claims it's a matter of life and death! If it were such a matter of life and death, how could she have this attitude? It's clear that she's lying!"

"Apologize to her, Siena." Zachary took out his cell phone and looked at me indifferently. He said, "If you apologize, I will believe you. You indeed need the special medicine. I will have someone deliver it here immediately."

He wanted to threaten me.

"This trick always works fro me. He always uses threats to make me compromise."

He threatened to break up with me. He threatened me to obey him. He threatened me not to interfere with him and Eileen.

When my family was sick, I begged him. He, who wanted to go shopping with Eileen at that time, nodded hastily. I thought he did care, but he turned out to be perfunctory.

He never took my words to heart.

Suddenly, I calmed down.

The more they wanted to see me compromise, the less I wanted to give in.

I remained silent. I didn't speak.

In the deadlock between me and him, he sensed my strangeness. He waved to the bodyguards, asking them to release me.

Eileen didn't expect that he would let me go so easily. She continued to sow a discord between the two of us. She said, "I thought you cared so much about your family. You made so many calls to Zachary before. You even made a scene in his office. Now it seems that you are just acting!"

As she spoke, she kicked open the urn containing my parents' ashes. Then she said, "Siena, you are so desperate for a stranger, but you are so cold-blooded to your own family!"

"Eileen! Don't touch it!"

I was burning with anger. I picked up the shovel next to me and rushed towards Eileen regardless of everything. Eileen was startled by my actions. She fell backwards and sprained her foot.

Almost instinctively, Zachary hugged Eileen. He kicked me, causing the urn to fly out as well.

The ashes scattered. The ashes inside were mixed with the soil.

I fell to the ground in despair, feeling a huge hole in my chest. I was too sad to breathe.

"Zachary, my foot hurts!" Eileen cried out.

Zachary comforted her tenderly, saying repeatedly, "Don't cry. Don't cry. I'll take you to the hospital right away!"

I looked fiercely at Eileen, tightly gripping the shovel in my hands and charging forward again.

This time, I couldn't get close. Instead, the Foster family's bodyguards pinned me down.

Zachary carried Eileen gently in his arms. He said indifferently to the bodyguards, "Lock this crazy woman in the basement! Siena, wait! I will definitely expose your lies!"
