Taylor closed his eyes in torment. When he opened them again, the grief and regret inside seemed enough to devour his soul.

“And you keep saying Lily stole your life, that she took your place…”

He suddenly lifted his gaze toward Bodger and Mergan. “Ask yourselves honestly–was Lily ever enjoying some blessed life by being adopted into the Ginger family? If anything, she healed us. She even saved both me and Mom’s lives. She owes us nothing! In fact, if she had been adopted by the Luke family instead, she would’ve lived better. If she had gone to the Luke family, she wouldn’t have been bullied, wouldn’t have been targeted by us, wouldn’t have been left alone, helpless… How unlucky was she, to end up in our house instead?”

I thought that since I’d risked my life to protect her, seeing me hurt, she would worry, she would care, she would try to save me. Do you know what she did? She climbed out of the car and ran. Ran–because she was afraid of being dragged down with me. But years ago, in another accident, when the car began leaking oil and could have exploded any second, it was Lily who pulled me out. Lily, who cheered me on to stay awake, who carried me to safety at the risk of being blown to pieces or burned. alive. That’s how I survived then.”

He looked at his brothers, anguish twisting his face. “We always said blood was thicker than water, that Mathilda was our blood sister, so we had to protect her. But the truth is, blood means nothing. Even without our blood, Lily called us her brothers for twelve years. She was family. She was our sister. And yet we abandoned her, for that parasite, and drove her into despair with our own hands!”

The raw truth in Taylor’s voice pierced Bodger and Mergan. They squeezed their eyes shut, their hearts seared with pain.

They had always known Lily hadn’t caused Mathilda’s abduction.
