Ella did not pay any attention to her, but the moment she turned around, she heard her say, It's just a hollow title. As long as his love remains with me, this position will be mine someday. Care to bet on it?”
Ella was taken aback for a moment and frowned slightly.
Before she could react, a thud sounded behind her. Sarah had deliberately rolled out the bed.
At that moment, Danny pushed open the door and walked in.
Realizing what Sarah had done, Ella's heart clenched. Her voice was tense. “It wasn’t me, I...”
But before she could finish, he shoved her violently aside. The torn wound instantly stained the gauze red and cold sweat broke out on her forehead from the pain.
Behind her, she could hear Danny’s accusatory voice, "When did you become so unreasonable, Ella?”
Her fingers dug deep into the palms of her hands, yet Ella felt no pain at all. Every word Danny spoke pierced her heart like needles, stirring waves of relentless agony.
“Believe it or not, I didn’t push her.”
Danny had just lifted Sarah and laid her on the bed when he heard these words. He was about to turn and ask, "If not you, who else could have done it?" when the blood-soaked bandage on Ella's calf caught his eye.
