Chapter 2626
In the end, after some heartfelt conversations with her therapist, Victoria abandoned the dark thoughts that had been circling her
mind. After all, she had her sister to look after, didn’t she? Even though Mara had been distant, it was all because of her own
mistakes, wasn’t it?
Was Mara actually starting to warm up to her again?
Mara flashed a cryptic smile and said, “Yeah, as long as you're eating, that’s good. Dad's already... well, you know. | don’t want
to see you getting sick again.”
Victoria’s face lit up with gratitude as she stepped forward and clasped Mara’s fingers. “Mara, I’m so sorry for everything that
happened. | know you’ve been holding a grudge against me. | promise, from now on, I'll take good care of Dad. Please, can we
stop this silence between us?”
Mara, who was inwardly reeling, didn’t let it show. Instead, she broke character and pulled Victoria into an embrace, patting her
on the shoulder. “Victoria, I’m the one who messed up before. We're blood, how could | ever stay mad at you? But you need to
keep up with your meds, or you won't get better.”
Victoria nodded earnestly. “I'll beat this illness, I'll get healthy, and then we'll make the most of our lives together.”
“That’s the spirit.”
Out of Victoria’s sight, Mara’s smile twisted into something malevolent. She knew Victoria was now one step closer to the edge.
It took over a month before Victoria returned to the campus. With such a tragedy at home, her classmates were naturally
concerned. She always responded with a faint smile, unwilling to delve into the details, a stark contrast to her once bubbly
enthusiasm.novelbin
But they understood, all except when she was with Balfour, to whom she spoke more freely.
“Balfour, thanks for caring. Now that Dad’s gone, it’s just Mara and me against the world. Honestly, | never thought Mara could
forgive me, after everything... Anyway, let’s leave the past in the past. Oh, and Mara asked about you. She wanted me to tell you
that we’re all victims here, and she doesn’t hold anything against you.”
Balfour raised an eyebrow and asked, “She really forgave you?”
Victoria nodded. “Of course, she did. Why else would she send such a message through me?”
Balfour’s expression remained noncommittal.
“Alright, enough chit-chat. | need to
get home. Mara’s learning to share
the household chores now. You
know, | used to handle all the
weekend meals by myself, and now
it's just heartwarming to see her
stepping up. | don’t know if this is
good or bad, but that’s life, right? Day
by day. Next time we visit Dad, we'll
tell him with smiles how well we've
been doing.” Visit noveldrama.org to
