She Jumps Then Wakes Unhurt While Her Family Bleeds Ten Times Worse Chapter 07
A gash burst open across William’s neck.Â
His neck burst open. Blood sprayed up to theÂ
ceiling and splattered across the room.Â
“William! Your neck!” Margaret screamed in terror.Â
“Get a doctor! Now!”Â
“Dad’s bleeding out!” Nathan rushed toward theÂ
door.Â
“Doctor! Is he going to make it?”Â
Doctors rushed in, their hands pressing desperately against William’s neck.Â
“The bleeding won’t stop. It’s too deep. Get him toÂ
the ER!”Â
The room descended into chaos, the floor slickÂ
with blood.Â
I sat on the bed, slowly wiping the blood from the fruit knife with a tissue.Â
“Elowen, put the knife down. Please.” CallumÂ
begged, trembling like he might fall apart at anyÂ
second.Â
“Weren’t you just calling me a monster?”Â
I turned the blade toward my own wrist.Â
“No! You’re not a monster. You’re our lifeline.Â
You’re everything to this family!” Nathan pleaded.Â
“Just don’t hurt yourself. We’ll give you anything.”Â
Margaret cried, clutching my leg.Â
“Really?”Â
I pointed the knife toward Maisie, who wasÂ
cowering in the corner. “What about her?”Â
“Throw her out! Get her out of the Harrington.Â
family right now!” Callum shouted, turning on her.Â
“Callum, you can’t do this to me! I’m the one you. loved most!” Maisie grabbed at his clothes, crying.Â
“Get off me, you curse!” Callum kicked her away.Â
“Security! Throw this woman out!”Â
“If she dares step into the Harrington family again, break her legs!” Nathan shouted toward the door.Â
“Nathan, you never used to yell at me!” MaisieÂ
screamed.Â
“I was blind before! Get out!” Nathan grabbed aÂ
glass and hurled it at her.Â
Two security guards dragged Maisie out as sheÂ
screamed curses down the hallway.Â
Three days later, I moved into a newly bought villaÂ
owned by the Harringtons.Â
The floors were covered with thick non–slipÂ
carpeting.Â
The walls, table edges, and even the faucets wereÂ
padded.Â
“Elowen, it’s not too hot. Take it slow,” MargaretÂ
said, holding the bowl up to my lips.Â
“This carpet still isn’t soft enough. We’ll addÂ
another layer tomorrow.” Nathan forced a smile,Â
his arm in a sling.Â
Callum sat in a wheelchair, his eyes fixed on myÂ
feet without blinking.Â
“Elowen, make sure you bring bodyguards whenÂ
you go out. You can’t risk tripping or bumping intoÂ
anything.”Â
I took a sip of oatmeal and looked at them.Â
Back then, I had to be careful with everything IÂ
said and did in this house. Now they were theÂ
ones walking on eggshells.Â
Late at night, heavy rain poured down.Â
Wrapped in a tattered raincoat, Maisie crouched.Â
beside a trash bin in the backyard.Â
She had been starving for three days, with.Â
nowhere to sleep.Â
Callum’s Maybach was parked by the back gate.Â
He rolled the window down while on the phone.Â
“Send more people. Lock the place down. No oneÂ
gets in.”Â
“Absolutely no harm can come to Elowen! If sheÂ
gets even a scratch, our whole family suffers!”Â
“Whatever she feels, we feel it ten times worse.Â
Got it?”Â
He rolled the window back up, and the car pulledÂ
away.Â
Maisie slowly peeked out from behind the trashÂ
bin, staring at the window of my room on theÂ
second floor.Â
“So that’s how it works.”Â
“If you get hurt, the whole family feels it?”Â
She touched the lighter in her pocket and let out aÂ
soft laugh.Â
“If I can’t have it, then all of us will go to hell!”
