Chapter 1724

Karina took a deep breath.

"I only suggested that trip because it was a simple get-together. No one could have predicted the accident. I've spent years trying to make amends, but I have my own life, and I can't keep being dragged down by this." The middle-aged man stepped forward, his finger nearly jabbing at Karina's forehead. "You ungrateful girl! Tara treated you so well, and this is how you repay her?"

Karina turned her head to avoid him, her voice calm but firm. "I was devastated by Tara's death, but I can't carry guilt that doesn't belong to me for the rest of my life. I've already done more than enough."

The woman began to sob, her voice full of desperation. "Karina, please, just help us one last time. Kieran's health is so poor. He needs money for treatment."

Karina looked at the woman who had once been her adoptive mother, her emotions a tangled mess. Memories surged through her mind like a rising tide.

She remembered her younger self, tiptoeing around the house, filled with gratitude and a yearning to belong to this family. But now, everything had changed-twisted beyond recognition.

Kieran, seated in his wheelchair, seethed with rage. His eyes burned with bitterness and resentment.
