Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 173 I'm Not as Shameless as You

Linda's voice drifted out from the hospital room. "The cemetery's right next to Silent Grove Village. Faris is definitely up to something shady. He probably got a witch to curse our family with that cemetery's location. Now, Silent Grove Village is struggling. I got sick out of nowhere, and then Richard got hurt. Everything's falling apart."

"What does someone else's cemetery have to do with anything? I've told you before, don't even think about messing with it, or I'll burn down Silent Grove Village." Richard's voice was full of arrogance.

"Alright, alright. I'm just saying. Why are you so worked up? Be careful not to pull your wound. You can say that in front of me, but don't mention it in front of your dad. If he hears it, he'll get mad again." Linda's tone softened.

I sighed inwardly and headed to the nurse's station to ask around. That's when I found out Abby had been discharged a while ago.

I planned to visit Sophie and Abby. That incident was way too dangerous. If Richard hadn't saved Abby, who knows what would've happened.

This whole mess was partly my fault. Arthur took Abby to get back at me, and I felt really guilty about it.

After leaving the hospital, I stood by the roadside waiting for a cab.

Even though the snow was slowly melting, the wind was still biting. I couldn't help but hunch my shoulders against the cold.

Suddenly, someone tapped my shoulder. When I turned around, I was pulled into a tight hug.

Before I could react, I smelled something strange. My vision blurred, my head spun, and then everything went black.

When I woke up, my head was pounding. I struggled to open my eyes and found myself lying on a bed.

I knew this room all too well; it was the bedroom Arthur and I used to share.

But hadn't this house been given to Vivian?

How did I end up here?

Thinking of Arthur's crazed behavior, I broke out in a cold sweat and sat up abruptly.

"You're awake?" A familiar voice came from the doorway.

I looked up sharply to see Arthur leaning casually against the doorframe, looking at me with a smug expression, like a predator eyeing its prey.

I glanced at my clothes, which were still intact, and breathed a sigh of relief.

But when I reached for my phone, it was gone.

"Where's my phone?" I asked.

"I threw it away!" Arthur replied.

Realizing the danger, I didn't bother arguing about the phone and forced myself to stand up from the bed, trying to stay calm.
