Chapter 1214
When Heather woke up, it was already dark outside. She saw she was in a hospital ward painted all
white, and her arm was hooked to a drip. She looked over her shoulder and saw Lily sitting aside,
slowly peeling an orange.
The orange's refreshing scent filled the room. Lily lifted her gaze and smiled slightly. "You're awake?"
"Why are you here?" The woman inquired, her voice low.
"Someone needs to keep you company, and I’m free anyway." After a pause, Lily said, "I’m sorry for
your loss."
Heather smiled wryly as if she had just remembered what had happened to Hannah. "Sorry? What's

and vice versa. I’m better off now that the curse came true, and I need not worry about it from now on."
She tried to sound casual, but her expression betrayed her grief.
Lily remained quiet for a moment and said, "Actually, have you ever thought that the curse, perhaps, is
not even a curse? The only reasons the curse existed were people’s fear of such an unreal thing,
human nature, and self-interest."
Heather looked at her in bewilderment.
"If all of you hadn't worried about the so-called curse, you and your sister could grow up together
happily as regular people, and the curse might then be broken without anyone dying. Perhaps
everyone could have led a happier life that way?”
In Lily's opinion, the twin sisters grew up together and had to compete for survival, but it was unlikely
that they did not share a bond.
Hannah was trying hard to imitate her sister, and she influenced Heather.
While hating and resenting each other, they unknowingly bonded at the same time.
"Perhaps. Who knows?” Letting out a quiet sigh, Heather looked out the window.
"The doctor said it will take three to five years for you to recuperate from the poisoning. Within the
period, you'll have to look after yourself and avoid practicing kickboxing as much as possible." Lily
reminded Heather, recalling what the doctor had said.
"Practicing for what? I trained for many years thinking I'd be undefeated, but what did I get in the end?"
Heather lifted a hand and looked at it listlessly.

hope you’ll recover soon."
’Even though we're not friends, I doubt we’ll become enemies in the future.’
She walked toward the exit, thought of something, and looked over her shoulder. "Oh, the Russell
family hopes you won’t vent your anger on Ralph.”
She mentioned "the Russell family” to let Heather know they would not stand aside if she chose to take
revenge on Ralph.
"No worries, I won't do anything to him. That wretched girl had always put him first, even until she
died." Casually averting her gaze, Heather snorted and said almost inaudibly, "What a fool."
It was hard to say whether Hannah was a fool, but Lily knew the younger sister held a special place in
Heather’s heart.
’However... There are not many second chances where one could start all over again.’
