She Jumps Then Wakes Unhurt While Her Family Bleeds Ten Times Worse Chapter 09
“You’re not dead… why aren’t you dead?” MaisieÂ
screamed. She dropped the knife and clutched herÂ
hair.Â
Sirens echoed outside the villa.Â
Several officers rushed into the living room andÂ
pinned the hysterical Maisie to the ground.Â
“Let me go! I’m a Harrington! I need her bone marrow!” She struggled against the cuffs, stillÂ
rambling.Â
“Stay down! Your prints are all over the weapon.Â
We’ve got it on camera!” the lead officer snapped.Â
“No! They’re here to save me! They love me theÂ
most!”Â
Maisie laughed and cried at the same time, staringÂ
at the four people in the pool of blood.Â
“Take her away,” the officer said. “Attempted.Â
murder.”Â
The emergency doctor glanced at the scene onÂ
the floor, then turned to me.Â
“Miss Harrington, are you okay?”Â
“I’m fine. Please do everything you can to saveÂ
them.”Â
“Their internal organs are almost completelyÂ
destroyed. We can only do our best,” the doctorÂ
sighed.Â
Millbrook Medical Center, intensive care unit.Â
They lay side by side, tubes running from theirÂ
bodies.Â
The ventilators moved in a slow rhythm. TheÂ
machines were the only sound in the room.Â
They were being kept alive by machines, but theirÂ
pain receptors had been amplified tenfold by my rebound power.Â
I changed into a white dress and pushed open theÂ
ward door.Â
The monitors began to beep rapidly.Â
Callum’s eyelids trembled violently. His eyes.Â
locked onto me.Â
A hoarse, broken sound leaked from his throat.Â
I walked to William’s bedside.Â
“Dad, do you remember what you told me the day IÂ
was diagnosed?”Â
His eyeballs trembled wildly.Â
“You said the match was confirmed. The surgeryÂ
was scheduled for next week.”Â
I raised my right hand and pressed a fingernailÂ
against my left forearm.Â
“You never even asked if the procedure could killÂ
me.”Â
I pressed down. One stroke at a time, I carved hisÂ
name into my skin.Â
William’s scream was so violent it tore theÂ
ventilator tube loose.Â
A blood channel burst open across his chest, tenÂ
times deeper than the cut I made. Blood sprayedÂ
onto the bed rails.Â
The monitor suddenly blared an alarm.Â
I walked to Margaret’s bedside.Â
“Mom, you always said Maisie was fragile. YouÂ
told me to give her whatever she wanted.”Â
“So when she stabbed me… I should stay quiet,Â
right?”Â
I carved her name into my arm.Â
Margaret’s eyes rolled back. Her throat made aÂ
broken wheezing sound like a shattered bellows.Â
She couldn’t even scream anymore. She onlyÂ
vomited blood in repeated spasms.Â
I looked at Nathan. “You never used to raise yourÂ
voice at her.”Â
“But earlier, when you called her a monster, youÂ
were yelling.”Â
I carved his name in.Â
Nathan’s body convulsed. The scab on his brokenÂ
arm split open all at once.Â
Finally, I turned to Callum.Â
“Didn’t you say you were going to talk me intoÂ
signing the consent form?”Â
“You don’t have to anymore. I’ll sign it myself.”Â
After the fourth name was carved, Callum had notÂ
tears left. Only a broken, leaking sound in hisÂ
throat.Â
I glanced at my forearm. The four shallow cuts.Â
healed within seconds, leaving no trace at all.Â
Their beds were already soaked through withÂ
blood.Â
The wounds across their chests refused to close, blood continuing to spill without pause.Â
I bent down and leaned close to them.Â
“Do you remember the wind on the rooftop thatÂ
day?”Â
All four of them stiffened at once.Â
“It was cold.”Â
I straightened up.Â
“This is the last thing I’ll ever give you. Enjoy it.”
