Her eyes locked on Luna with a glare as sharp as blades, and then a mocking laugh escaped her lips. “Mother… raised me for over ten years… Ms. Luna, you really are forgetful when it suits you. When I married James in Mathilda’s place, we made things crystal clear–you and the Ginger family owe me nothing, and I owe you nothing. So how dare you bring up the so–called kindness of raising me just to guilt–trip me? And Wendy didn’t mean it? She didn’t mean to do it–so I forced her to have that truck crash into me, then held her down and made her pour liquor down my throat, so everyone would believe i was drunk and ran someone over? Ms. Luna, your shamelessness is truly something else.”

“I…”

Luna faltered, momentarily caught off guard and ashamed.

But faced with Lily’s eyes full of scorn, embarrassment turned to anger. She scowled and snapped, “You say you don’t owe us anything? I raised you for over ten years. That’s a fact. Lily, you’ll never be able to repay what the Ginger family did for you! If you have any conscience left, stop persecuting Wendy!”

“I owe the Ginger family nothing.”

Lily’s voice carried a biting edge of self–mockery. “Yes, I ate your food, lived under your roof. But once I earned my own money, I paid it all back–twice over. The money from the Luke family? I left it all with you. I owe you nothing. It’s you who owe me. Ever since Mathilda came back, you believed every twisted word out of her mouth and turned against me–mocked me, bullied me. You threw me into a freezing river in the dead of winter. When I fought to swim to shore, you kicked me back in again. Over and over, until I was nearly drowned. Because of that, I lost my ability to ever have children.

“If anyone here owes anything–it’s you. You owe me a healthy body. You’re not worthy of my trust or my love. None of you deserve to be called parents, or brothers. You don’t even deserve to be human.”

At the mention of the river, the expressions on the faces of the three Ginger brothers shifted, a flash of guilt passing through their eyes.
