Chapter 508

….

“What is it?”

Startled, Gary looked at Austin in bewilderment and then glanced back at Nara.

Austin was about to say, “She is my…”

“Ahhhh!”

Before he could finish, Nara suddenly snatched the broom and swung it at Austin.

Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Austin.

Seeing how natural Gary’s reaction was, one knew Austin must have bullied him often, or else the simple act of taking a step forward wouldn’t have frightened Gary so much.

Nara looked at Austin with resentment.

Scenes of being humiliated by him flashed through her mind…

In the hospital, he forced her to apologize to Jackson…

On the roof of the hospital building, he forced her to jump…

He was no longer the brother who used to protect her when they were little; he had become a bad person!

She did not want such a brother!

As for the Gill family, she had no intention of acknowledging them!

Nara’s sudden outburst stunned everyone.

Even Austin stood still and didn’t move.

He knew he had done too many bad things, so it was normal for his sister to vent her anger. He shouldn’t resist. He should bear it.

All the faults were his.

Austin silently stood in place, turning his side toward Nara, enduring her strikes one after another.

Seeing that he didn’t dodge, Nara struck with even more force.

She thought of the words Gary had just said… and she was enraged.

Her brother even meddled with Miss “Keera’s” elder brother and sister-in-law’s relationship… How could there be such a bad person in the world?

Why did such a lousy person have to be her brother…

Her tears fell in large drops.

Having only recently recovered from a severe illness, she grew weak from all the striking. Finally, her arms felt limp, and the broom fell to the ground, her energy spent.

Matias immediately held her.

Austin also looked at her with concern. He took a step forward, about to say something, when Matias said, “Can you leave? Nara has just recovered from a major illness and can’t get excited right now! Are you trying to kill her?”

Hearing this, Austin immediately froze in his tracks.

He looked pleadingly at Nara but saw his sister wasn’t looking at him at all. She was leaning into Matias’s arms, her chest heaving, her small face pale with anger.

Austin clenched his jaw.

The pain from the beating on his body was nothing compared to the pain in his heart at that moment.

If it were possible—if there was a time machine—he would do whatever it took to go back to the past, to the time when he’d helped Jackson bully his sister and stop himself.

Austin clenched his fists.

Keira didn’t approach them all this while. Seeing the situation, she stepped forward. “You should go now. Let Nara rest.”

All the strength seemed to drain from Austin’s body. He lowered his head and, after a long pause, said, “I’ll come back.”

He turned and left.

He wouldn’t give up on his sister… He must make an effort to gain Nara’s forgiveness!

Once Austin had gone, Gary looked at Nara incredulously. “Nara, how could you hit Austin? It’s over, it’s all over! The last thing he said was he would come back. Is he going to bring people to retaliate? No, I need to think of something. I’m going back to call my mother to help you!”

Having said that, he ran off.

Matias called after him. “Hey, don’t run. It’s not like that, it’s…”

But Gary didn’t hear him at all and had already disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

Matias took Nara into the room.

With her eyes rimmed red, Nara held Keira’s hand, using sign language that Matias helped translate. “I’m sorry. He even affected your elder brother and sister-in-law’s relationship…”

Keira couldn’t help but chuckle when she heard this. She sighed and patted Nara’s head. “What do you have to be sorry for? Actually, what he said didn’t have the biggest impact on my elder brother and sister-in-law. If my brother had always trusted my sister-in-law, no matter how others tried to cause a rift, it wouldn’t have succeeded. Ultimately, the problem between them is lack of trust.”

Upon hearing this, Nara finally relaxed.

Keira saw that Nara had calmed down a bit, so she said, “You should have some rest. Don’t overthink about other things. You’re still very weak. Actually, you should be in the hospital.”

Nara just waved her hand and lowered her gaze.

Matias explained on her behalf. “My sister doesn’t want to see Lady Gill and Austin, and she doesn’t want to spend their money to stay in the hospital, so she came back. I’ve already asked the doctor, and he said that my sister doesn’t have any serious issues now, only that she needs to rest well…”

Keira just nodded.

Matias then said, “Let me walk you out!”

Keira looked toward Nara. Seeing that Nara was already in bed, Keira didn’t plan to stay any longer.

She stood up and walked outside.

After they left the room, Matias let out a deep sigh. “Who would have thought that Nara is the daughter that the Gill family has lost for so many years? For Nara, this is indeed too much to accept! After all, she was bullied so miserably…”

Keira nodded.

When they arrived at the alley’s entrance, Keira and Matias saw Austin, who was standing not far away.

Matias frowned. “He’s quite stubborn.”

Keira said, “My family also has a stubborn one. When people like them do evil deeds, they don’t think things through. My brother is desperately asking for his wife’s forgiveness, while Austin is doing the same thing with his sister… Forget it. Let them be.”

Matias nodded in agreement.

After seeing Keira off, Matias limped to the market for some groceries.

They had been in the hospital for so long that there was no food left at home.

Austin, however, was silently watching the entrance of the alley from a distance.

He hadn’t treated his wounds. Instead, he just stood there quietly, letting out a sigh.

After a short while, he suddenly caught sight of a woman hurriedly entering the alley. Wasn’t that Gary’s Mother?

Austin was slightly startled when he noticed her pale complexion and immediately followed her.

…

Nara was very sad. Lying on her bed, she was unable to sleep for a long time. She was tormented.

As she was struggling with her thoughts, suddenly, there came a loud knocking at the door.

Her brother had gone out to see “Keera” off and wasn’t home.

She struggled to get up from the bed, walked to the door, and opened it.

As soon as the door was unlocked, it was rudely pushed open, forcing Nara to step back.

Nara was stunned for a moment. When she composed her expression, she saw a middle-aged woman stride in.

The woman was dressed lavishly, adorned with pearl jewelry that radiated wealth and luxury.

Upon entering, her eyes fell on Nara, and she immediately asked sharply, “Are you Nara?”

Nara nodded in bewilderment.

The lady scoffed coldly. “Indeed, you have a pitiful look that could attract sympathy! No wonder you could bewitch Gary to stand up to Austin! You’re such a seductress!”

Nara was taken aback.

She immediately waved her hands, trying to explain something, but found herself unable to speak. She picked up a paper and pen and wrote, “You’re mistaken. I haven’t done anything, and Gary has been misled as well. Things aren’t as they seem.”

“Not as they seem? Then what are they like? If not because of you, would Gary have confronted Austin? Would Gary have come home and asked me to stand up for you? He even wanted me to approach Lady Gill to mediate the issue, asking the Gill family to spare you! Little slut, what exactly have you done to offend the Gill family?”

Nara was taken aback.

She looked at Gary’s mother with astonishment.

Unaware of her own mistake, Gary’s mother continued to scold Nara. “Look at yourself. You’re living in this rundown slum, a trashy house, and you still want to seduce my son! You’re a mute, not a normal person! Are you just relying on that pitiful look to gain men’s sympathy? Do you think you deserve my son’s marriage proposal?!”

Nara was dumbfounded, shocked by Gary’s mother’s words.

Gary’s mother went on. “I came here to tell you: forget about it. My son will never marry you! Stay away from my son from now on! Did you hear me? Especially don’t use my son to go against the Gill family! My family will never offend the Gill family because of you!”

The light in Nara’s eyes gradually dimmed.

She picked up the paper and pen and gave a self-mocking smile.

She simply wrote, “I’m not using Gary!”

Gary’s mother angrily retorted, “Then why did you make him go back and plead with me to stand up for you? Are you still saying that you’re not using him?”

Nara continued writing, “The Gill family won’t take action against me anymore. Our issues have been resolved. Gary was mistaken.”

“Resolved? Do you think by jumping off a building, the Gill family’s anger would be extinguished? What are you thinking? Forget it. It’s not going to happen!”

Nara took a deep breath and continued writing. “They won’t come to bully me anymore because I am their long-lost biological daughter!”
