Chapter 286
Lillian sneered inwardly, her heart as cold as ice. She shut the door behind her with a soft
click and turned to face her nemesis, Brielle, lying on the hospital bed.
Brielle’s face was flushed with fever, an IV needle piercing the back of her hand, pumping
life–saving fluids into her bloodstream.
Fate, it seemed, was on Lillian’s side today.
A wicked grin flickered across Lillian’s face as she grabbed a pillow from the bedside and
pressed it down hard over Brielle’s face. “You bitch! Go to hell!” Her knuckles whitened
with the force she applied, every muscle in her arm straining.
Brielle didn’t even have time to utter a word; her breathing became more labored by the
second. Her nightmare was turning into a horror show, the dark sky above seemed to drop
an unreal shroud devoid of oxygen, and she was suffocating.
“Help,” she gasped in her mind.

At this critical moment, someone was knocking at the door, seemingly about to enter at
any second. Grinding her teeth in annoyance, Lillian quickly removed the pillow and
tossed it aside. Brielle’s cellphone lay on the bedsheet, unguarded. Lillian snatched it up
and, using Brielle’s fingerprint, unlocked the device.
Just then, the nurse entered, carrying a tray filled with various medications. She gave
Lillian a suspicious glance. “Are you here to see Ms. Brielle? May I ask who you are?”
Max had entrusted the nurse to be vigilant with his patient, and not for a moment could
she let her guard down. No sooner had she stepped out than someone new had appeared
in the room.
Lillian pulled her hat down lower, “I’m her family, just wanted to check in on her. Is she
okay?”
Suspicion lurked in the depths of the nurse’s eyes, but Lillian’s demeanor didn’t give away
anything out of the ordinary, so she just shook her head. “Just a bad tase of anxiety, some
rest and she’ll be fine.”
The nurse prepared the injection, as Lillian spoke up, “Max asked me to come by and
check on her, glad to hear she’s doing well.”
Lillian’s words were a probe, with the increase in staff at the door, she couldn’t help but
suspect they were Max’s people. After all, who else would care about Brielle?
At the mention of Max, a flicker of surprise crossed the nurse’s face, and her defenses
dropped, her lips curving into a smile. “You’re here on Max’s behalf? He’s not only
handsome and wealthy, but he’s also so attentive to his girlfriend. Ms. Brielle is really
lucky. They must’ve had a row. Max couldn’t come by day, so he sneaks in at night to visit
Ms. Brielle. She’s truly
blessed.”
The nurse turned her back to administer the medication, unaware of the malignant hatred

Lillian gripped the phone so tightly she wished she could crush it. Her mind replayed the
nurse’s words on a loop.
Sneaking in at night to see her after a fight…
Was this careful and gentle man really the same Max who had driven her to jump off the
building? She remembered how cold and indifferent he was that night, as if her life meant
nothing, and she were a bug to be stepped on.
That bitch! Why did she get everything. Why was it Brielle who had it all, while she, Lillian,
had nothing but shame and loss?
“Fuck all of you!.”
The nurse kept murmuring, full of envy, clueless that behind her, someone was poised
with a vase, ready to claim her life. The vase was lifted high, about to be brought down
with fatal force, when Lillian’s ears caught the sound of conversation. It was the night staff
at the door. chatting idly.
