Chapter 10: A Cruel Comparison

(Olivia's POV)

"How could a good child lie? Who never listened to Lily, and accused Lily of lying again and again? Scolding Lily for being dishonest, accusing her of lying at such a young age, being a bed child. How hypocritical! The bitter thoughts swirled through my mind like poison.

My Lily, my sweet baby. The only time she had ever lied was when she waited for her father who broke his promise-and she paid for that lie with her life. Yet in Ethan's eyes, Lily had

been unbearable.

I felt my eyes burning with rage as I stared at Ethan Stone.

“Ethan Stone.” I asked coldly, "Emma is a child, wasn't my Lily a child too?"

His amber eyes widened slightly, caught off guard by my question.

"How can Lily be compared with Emma!" he blurted out.

His words hit me like a physical blow. My emerald eyes turned cold as ice. This was what he really thought. In his heart, the daughter born to Victoria, his childhood love, was thousands of times better, as perfect as Victoria herself. And my Lily, like her mother, was unbearable.

My heart ached as if it was being torn apart. I laughed, the sound hollow and broken, but the smile didn't reach my eyes.

"Indeed, they can't be compared," I said, enunciating each word carefully, "because Emma

Frost is not worthy at all!"

Such a child who lied and framed others at a young age-how could she possibly be compared with my sweet and well-behaved Lily? I truly felt sorry for my daughter. My baby had loved her father so much. But in her father's heart, there was only Emma, never her.

As a mother, my eyes burned with heartache. It wasn't worth it for my daughter to have suffered so much for a father who cared so little.

"Ethan Stone, Lily has a father like you, she is in the afterlife-"

Before I could finish, Victoria suddenly grabbed Ethan's arm tightly. She looked at her red and swollen right hand and cried in fear.

"Ethan, is my hand useless? Can I never create healing crystal designs again?" Her voice
