She Approved the Split He Fell Apart Novel

008 Dragon Blood

Scarlett’s POV

Sitting on the cold floor, I realize I made my judgment too early.

I thought my life used to be a living hell. How wrong was I. Though everyone treated me horribly, never did they lay a finger on me.ter all, I was the precious blood vessel for the fragile Ava. They couldn’t afford to lose me.

But not anymore.

I palm my face, looking up slowly at the man I once called father, only to realize the coldness in his eyes: I’m still the blood vessel, just not “precious” anymore. I’m now a nice to have.

After all, Ava is all but healed now.

They won’t toss me away because I might still have value What do they have to lose if I don’t get my chance of a normal life?

For that slight “might“, I can’t have my freedom. I’m not allowed to leave the city and have my own They don’t care if my heart would be broken a million times every day here, seeing Sebastian with They don’t care that I might also need love, from somewhere, anywhere

And they can afford to physically hurt me now.

I dart my disbelieving eyes to “Mom“, to the woman that I once thought might have spared just a little love in her heart for me even though most of it is reserved for her beloved real daughter

She won’t look at me. She just covers her face with her palm and sobs, just like every time when Jack forced me to give blood to Ava to the point that I would faint

“Mom, please, answer me.”

Just say that you really hurt yourself. Say that you told Jack to not lure me back. Say that there is a shred of love in your heart for me, that even though you need my blood for your beloved daughter, you also wanted happiness for me

Please, just lie to me Like before

to you to fucking stop talking to her Jack Fuller charges at me again, like an angry bull.

To my surprise, Sebastian blocks him

“Luck Sebastian’s muscled figure towers over Jack’s beer belly, “Whatever this is about, you can use your words instead of raising your hand ”

Actually. I’m not too surprised. He is the perfect prince charming. Even for a despicable me, he will stand up for. If he didn’t save me that time, then I wouldn’t have fallen in love with him.

What a mistake.

“How could you hurt your mom like this? Can’t get to me, Jack shouts at me through Sebastian, “Don’t you have no shame, you ungrateful brat! She loves you and you are hurting her heart with that lover

Yes, that’s what I used to believe I let out a laugh, mocking the naive, stupid me

008 Dragon Blood

Mom bursts into a horrified cry, and Jack dashes over to take her into his arms.

“You don’t want to hurt Anna, Scar,” Sebastian frowns at me, holding his hand out for me with detest in his eyes. “I’m the one who you are upset with. We can solve it at home.”

Home? I laugh bitterly. We don’t have a home anymore, Sebastian. I built one for us, and you broke it.

I don’t have a home now. I ner had one. And today, I lost the last person in the family I thought that had shed love on me, no matter how little.

I look at his condescending offer, like the knight in his shining armor saving a damsel in distress.

I was never the damsel he wanted to save.

He regretted saving me that one time, too. The next day after he saved me, he became best friends with Ava, and started looking at me with detest like everyone else.

Loving him as my salvation was just another lie I have been telling myself.

“You want to sit there forever?” He gets impatient the next second, dragging me to my feet by my forearm.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Sebastian?” Ava’s voice rises by the door, and I watch Sebastian pull his hand back like I have some

av arm.

“Mom? What’s wrong?” Ava’s voice turns anxious when she sees Mom crying, her angry eyes soon dart at me, “Scarlett! Did you make Mom cry?!”

“And if it is?” I retort, and she charges at me.

The next second Sebastian runs over and picks Ava up into his arms: “Carefull Shards on the floor!”

Now that’s love.

Not a condescending scold while “saving” me when he didn’t even care that I was bleeding. But to stride over the minefield just so she won’t get hurt in the slightest way.

Watching the two pairs of righteous couples holding each other, protecting their loved ones from me ultimate evil. I lower my eyes and rub my forearm where red finger marks are left.

Suddenly I lost all the interest to even talk to any of these people.

This is my life. My loving family and my perfect husband, protecting the real princess from me, the evil dragon.

I wish they would slay me, but they won’t. They lock the dragon up in a dark dungeon to harvest the dragon blood. That’s my only value to them. Always have been, always will be.
