Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 110

The next day dawned with the gentle light of morning filtering through the cracks in the window, casting a soft glow on Claire's hospital bed. After a night of rest, she felt the dull ache in her head had subsided somewhat, and her foggy mind was clearer.

Slowly, she got out of bed, hoping to get some fresh air. But as soon as she stepped into the hallway, a familiar, lilting voice reached her ears.

Claire glanced up to see Vanessa and Vincent walking side by side, laughing and chatting. Vanessa was dressed in a white sundress, her face adorned with a subtle, natural makeup look, and her forehead wrapped in a thick bandage. She exuded an air of innocent fragility, the kind that instinctively awakened a protective instinct in others.

Upon spotting Claire, Vanessa's smile froze, panic flickering in her eyes. Her body trembled slightly as she timidly addressed her, "Sister."

Vincent seemed taken aback to see Claire in the hallway, his expression a mix of guilt and a hint of unspoken pity.

Claire remained calm. To her, these two were a perfect pair - one deceitful and pretentious, the other cold and insincere. She paused only for a moment before continuing on her way, as if she hadn't noticed them at all.
