Chapter 38 If I Were Not Your Sister.
Karina was in a daze again.
She never expected that Dustin hated Patricia so much. Again, it’s about Lydia.
Each time Dustin became crazy, the reason could always be Lydia. And this time, again.
“The baby Lydia has with Archibald should be my baby. Lydia and I should be his parents…” Dustin
said with his head shaking. He was so drunk. His mind was filled with matters about Lydia, and other
people were expelled.
Looking at Dustin so preoccupied with his imagination, Karina stood up from the sofa immediately and
pressed Dustin’s shoulders hard with her hands.
“Dustin, get out of your fantasy. Lydia has married Archibald. She will never marry you.”
Dustin pushed Karina away with anger on his face and said, “Stop your nonsense! Lydia is my wife. We
have a baby. You are jealous of us.”
Karina fell down on the floor heavily. And a few pieces of glass stuck into her hand deeply. She couldn’t
help breathing deeply.
Looking at the glass in her hand, she couldn’t feel any pain. The transparent glass was dyed red by her
blood gradually. Blood dropped onto the floor continually along the glass, and blended into the liquid.
The colour of the mixture seemed to be brighter.
The delayed effect of alcohol hit Dustin eventually and then he was about to fall back on the floor.
Karina widened her eyes in shock and looked at Dustin falling to the floor covered by sharp glass. She
found her feet and held Dustin steadily regardless of her pain.
The whole weight of Dustin’s body was on Karina’s hands which were stuck with red glass.
Karina grunted and heaved with her face turning pale. She put Dustin on the sofa and then took a quilt
out to cover him. She even wiped out the sweat on his forehead with a napkin.
Gentleness filled her face. However, on her pale face, her discoloured lips were prominent.
“You are so stupid. Lydia is willing to marry Archibald. It’s apparent that she chose Archibald without
hesitation. What are you complaining about on earth?” Seeing that Dustin breathed evenly on the sofa,
Karina sighed. but then felt sharp pain from her hands
She gasped. Looking at the glass half stuck into her hands, she didn’t shed any tear.
She didn’t make any noise due to pain, either. She pulled the glass out of her hands with gritted teeth
and then threw the pieces into a trash can.
Every time a piece of glass was pulled out, her body trembled. When all the glass was cleared, she
said nothing with the scars and blood in her hands. She squatted and picked up all the pieces, and
then sat on the edge of sofa, staring at Dustin who was sleeping.
It was enough for her to just look at him.
Lydia was shopping in a mall leisurely. She bought luxury goods indulgently with a Centurion card,
which was given by Archibald. After she married Archibald, he asked her to resign from the post of the
general manager of Coleman Group. He requires her to stay at home and take care of Joshua.
Although she didn’t want to follow his instruction, she had no choice because she wanted to please
him. She was not Joshua’s real mommy, so she didn’t devote herself into the baby.
The kid wasn’t intimate with her. He didn’t speak to her at home. Only when Archibald was at home, he
would talk with her perfunctorily for Archibald’s sake.
She felt good when the kid talked to her. But for the rest of time, the kid kept silence in the same way
as Archibald did. They seemed to be dead bodies with coldness.
If she continued to stay at home, she would be crazy. So shopping had become her only way to release
herself. Moreover, the money in the card was countless, and Archibald would never care about it. Well,
for him, money was nothing.
Archibald promised her that when Joshua was five years old, she would be allowed to resume her
work. So, she should hold on for two more years. In the next two years, she planned to at least have
sex once with Archibald so that she could have a baby. Then she would not be so restless, and her
position in the family would be stable.
Suddenly, Lydia’s smart phone rang. She picked up the phone slowly after she saw the name. She
walked to a quiet place and asked, “Mom, what’s up? Have you met Patricia? When will she leave
Midfort?”
Her face showed no worries because she was confident of her mother’s ability. She knew that Patricia
was obedient to their mother from childhood. She must be used to being blamed and compromise. So,
she would continue to make a compromise.
There was a silence on the other side of the line and then came the words, “Lydia, listen to me. I did
meet Patricia. She has a baby looking the same with your kid. They really look the same.”
Lydia sneered and said, “It doesn’t matter, mom. As long as Patricia leaves Midfort with the kid,
everything will be ok. The same appearance doesn’t matter.” Hearing her words, Miranda sighed
slightly.
Noticing the sigh, Lydia became nervous, and a horrible feeling hit her.
“Mom, what’s wrong? Why do you sigh?”
Miranda was silent for a while and said, “I have tried my best. But Patricia didn’t want to leave Midfort.
She has changed. Stick and carrot are useless now. She even said that she had no relation with the
Coleman Family. I knelt to her, but it was useless, too.”
Lydia frowned and closed her lips tightly. How did Patricia become so determined after three years? Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Lydia thought she had miscalculated her. She didn’t expect that Patricia refused to leave Midfort even
after Miranda had kneeled to her.
