Chapter 47: My Next Mistake
"I never knew the hospital would file a case against them." Nora gave an exhausted sigh. Her hands instinctively rubbed the strangling mark on her neck as if she was reliving that tormenting moment again.
"......" Silence filled the room. Everyone looked at her. Even if she had not explained herself. Her clear eyes did not show any guilt of the pain she was suffering. And why did the hospital file a case against her uncle and aunt?
Even a fool can reply at that moment. But they have met Penny’s family. Her mother was a kind and sweet lady and her father was a gentleman who hardly spoke but paid so much attention to his daughter.
Can such good people be so cruel to their own niece?
Everyone looked at Nora with a conflicted gaze. She did not stand there to explain further. But she walked to her bunk bed and laid on the bed.
"There is only half an hour left for the class. I want to lie down for five minutes before getting ready." Her gloomy voice left them with strange sadness too. Without realizing, they felt bad for her.
Penny noticed their softening eyes and her eyes narrowed. This Nora! She is getting out of control day by day. How could she spout such nonsense in front of others? And how could they believe her when she was neither rich nor intelligent.
No, Nora was nothing. And she would teach that to her.
"She is right. We need to get ready for our classes." Penny was the first to stand up. She picked up her uniform and went to take a bath. Others nodded and followed reluctantly.
