The Twin Stepbrother’s Favorite Novel – “Grace, are you sure? I thought you prefer to stay here.” “I’m sure. The sooner I leave, the better.” After all, the only reason I had stayed was because of Andrew and Archer.
But now, there was no reason to anymore. Lying in my hospital bed, I numbly scrolled through my phone. The trending search was already flooded with a video of Andrew and Archer rushing into the fire, risking their lives.
In the video, they protected Shannon Perry on either side of her, like her loyal knights. Countless netizens were moved and envious, and Shannon was in the spotlight at once. Everyone was saying that the “princess” of the Benson and Cress families had changed.
It was no longer me. I turned off my phone just as the hospital room door was violently kicked open. Andrew and Archer broke in, looking furious. “Grace, now that you’re awake, drop the act. “We’re here for one thing.
Give your spot in the piano competition to Shannon. It’s the least you owe her.” To their surprise, I didn’t make a scene as I usually did. I said coldly, “OK.” “What?” For a split second, shock flickered across their faces.
Then Archer’s expression darkened. “Grace, how could you agree so easily? What are you up to now?” Andrew said coldly, “You stopped us from saving Shannon. If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t have nearly lost her voice.
Isn’t it only right that you make it up to her?” My great headache was killing me, and I said impatiently, “I already said yes. What else do you want? Should I kneel before her and swear my loyalty?” Andrew and Archer exchanged a glance, disbelief flashing in their eyes.
But, since they had already got what they wanted, they soon left after saying something harsh to me. As everything became quiet again, I looked down at my right hand. The doctor said my right hand was hurt in the fire, and I could never play the piano again.
The piano was my faith since I was born, and this was definitely a devastating blow. I had broken down and wanted to talk to Andrew and Archer about it, but their reaction was to grip me by the neck fiercely. “Grace, you’re so vicious! If it weren’t for you, Shannon wouldn’t have almost died!” “Are you that jealous of her?” At that moment, I suddenly let go of something. I picked up my phone and made the call. Andrew, Archer, if you despise me so much… From now on, I won’t stand in your way of pursuing Shannon.
