“Are you blind, or are you just a goddamn monster with no empathy?! Do you see the state he’s in right now?!”
Edith screamed.
“I wasn’t the one who did this to him, you buffoon, so how about you misswith that moralist crap?” |
retorted, snatching the form back and slamming it onto the table next to his bed.
“I saved your life for years, Edward. With my blood. | owe you nothing. Everything | could give, | have already
given you.
“You're the one who betrayed and hurt me, so don’t you dare calla monster after everything you've done. If
you truly know you're in the wrong, then sign this form right now!” | demanded.
He stared at me. Then, slowly, he took the paper from my hand.
| expected him to tear it apart, so | warned him, “I have plenty of copies, Edward. You can’t destroy them all.”
To my surprise, he flexed his palm atand said, “A pen, please.”

I was stunned.
“A pen, please,” he reiterated. “I thought you wantedto sign.”
Edith stared at him in disbelief. “Are you sure?! Have you really thought this through?!”
Overjoyed, | grabbed a felt-tip pen from my bag and handed it to him. “Ha, so you do have a conscience after
all!”
Edward signed every page before passing the papers back to me. “Is this good?”
I nodded in satisfaction. “When should we finalize this?”
“After I'm discharged.”
| frowned. A thought struck me. “You're not going to be hospitalized for the rest of your life, are you?”
Edith bristled. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?! Are you cursing my brother to stay ill forever?!”
I rolled my eyes. “God-fucking-damn it, did | ever ask for your opinion? Shut up already!”
“You-"
“Edith!” Edward interjected. “Look, it won't be that long. | should be out in a week.”
| nodded a week was acceptable.
“I'll be waiting. But I'm not withdrawing from the court case. It’s just a matter of which option getsmy
freedom sooner.”
“That's how much you dislike me, huh?” He chuckled self-deprecatingly. “What's the hurry? Did Soren confess to
you?”
| felt exposed, but my anger overpowered it. “Will you ever stop dragging other people into what's between you
and me?! Do you have any idea how disgusting and vile you are? Why the hell would | stay with you after your
betrayal?!”
“I didn’t betray you. I've only ever loved you,” he claimed.
I laughed scornfully. “You're delusional, and you never wake up.”

| turned to leave, but Edward's voice stopped me,
“You took down your family, didn’t you? You put your father in jail. Why? Does he truly deserve such cruelty?
He's your father he raised you, gave you an education. Without him, you wouldn't be where you are today.”
| couldn’t believe what | was hearing “So now you're more than just a performer-you’ve got a savior complex
100,”
“He’s not a good father, but he doesn’t deserve to be imprisoned,” Edward said calmly.
| smiled, “Aww, but he’s already in jail now. Since you’re such a loving saint, why don’t you get him a good
lawyer, pay off the taxes he owes, and try to reduce his sentence?”
