Margot had a dream.In the dream, she was wearing a pure white wedding dress, a crown on her head, and her makeup was delicate. On her feet were custom-made crystal high heels. She exuded elegance as she linked arms with her family and walked step by step toward the man in the spotlight. Curtis, in a custom-made white suit, stood tall and noble. He held flowers in his hand, smiling lightly like the wind. Margot looked at him with joy in her eyes. That's right, today was her and Curtis' big wedding. She was in her wedding dress. Under the witness of friends and family, she was about to become his lawful wife. She was very happy. She desperately wanted to quickly walk down the flower-covered stage before her, eagerly take the ring he offered her, eagerly accept the words of the priest, and loudly tell him, "I do."But before she could even approach the man, a little girl suddenly appeared beside her, running ahead of her toward Curtis.Margot looked at the little girl.
Margot couldn't breathe; she felt like she was going to die. She felt so uncomfortable. Her body seemed to have fallen into an abyss, icy cold, unable to move. "Margot, wake up, don't scare us, wake up, okay?""Margot, you can't do this. Without Curtis and Lilac, you still have us.""If Curtis knew you were like this, he would be upset too.""Margot, wake up, okay? Margot..."The familiar voices echoed in her ears.She also heard the names Curtis and Lilac.Where was she? Why was she in so much pain?Why couldn't she see anything?She desperately tried to regain consciousness, to open her eyes.Dazed, she finally saw a ray of light.Then she saw a familiar face, urgently calling out to her, "Margot, Margot!"Margot, lying on the hospital bed, finally woke up. Her eyes were red and moist, unable to focus, looking dull, hollow, and full of despair.The people at her bedside saw her wake up, and they all crowded around her, showing concern."Margot, you finally woke up.
During those three days, Margot showed no symptoms of illness, but her heart almost stopped several times. Everyone had been eagerly awaiting her awakening, but now that she was crying and asking to see Curtis and Lilac, everyone's hearts felt as if they were being torn apart. Margot was still being held by Natalie. She had no time to think about who was around her. In her mind, she replayed the words that Calvin and Natalie had said to her. They had both said that Curtis and Lilac weren't coming back. How could that be? Curtis wouldn't leave her behind. With her remaining consciousness, Margot cried and begged in Natalie's arms, "Natalie, please don't scare me. My heart hurts so much. Please let Curtis come to me and my Lilac, she's only three years old. "They're both my life. How could they leave me? Are you lying to me? My Lilac and Curtis aren't dead, are they?" Natalie couldn't bear to see her unable to accept reality. She couldn't stand her own grief either
Margot's mind was filled with thoughts of Curtis and her daughter. She couldn't even hear what Lena was saying. She sat on the floor, holding the relics of Curtis and Lilac, and cried until her heart was torn apart, almost choking several times.Lena hugged her tightly and cried with her. "Margot, my master is not only highly skilled in medicine, but also in divination. He said that Lilac would become his student, so Lilac must not have died. Maybe she was just washed out to sea and we haven't found her yet."Hearing this, Margot's body gradually calmed down. Next to her, Anthony reminded Lena, "If you say that, you'll only make her suffer more in the future. It's better to face the truth sooner rather than later."Lena turned to look at Anthony and replied, "I'm stating the facts. Since we haven't found their bodies, how can you conclude that they must be dead? Without bodies, shouldn't we hold on to a glimmer of hope? "Besides, what my master says always comes true. Do you kno
When Margot arrived at the Crosby residence, she saw a black ribbon hanging at the entrance, symbolizing death in the family. Dragging her weak body, she hurried forward, supported all the way by Natalie and Calvin. The household staff led them directly to the hall that had been set up as a memorial.From a distance, they could hear the wailing of many people, painful and continuous, making it impossible to hold back tears. Margot stumbled to the entrance of the memorial hall. From a distance of over several feet, she could see the memorial photos of Curtis and Lilac hanging inside. Tears immediately welled up and she collapsed to the floor."Margot..."Natalie didn't support her. As she looked ahead, the memorial photos of Curtis and Lilac brought tears to her eyes as well.Margot hadn't even had a chance to take one last look at Martin. Instead, she was kneeling here, crying in unbearable grief, her heart torn apart.The staff beside her said with red eyes, "Mrs. Stone, Ma
After a few days, Margot had lost a lot of weight. Regina came to visit her again, but Anthony stopped her. He said, "Mom, you should visit less often lately. Margot is not in good shape."Regina was full of pity. "It's because she's not well that I came to see her.""But Margot doesn't want to see you. Your presence will only upset her more."Regina had no choice. As she was about to leave, she couldn't help but glance at the doctor, Lena, who was pushing a wheelchair behind her son. She knew this woman was her son's doctor. But every time she came, she seemed very close to her son. She felt a little uncomfortable, but knowing that her son still needed medical attention from others, she didn't say anything and left.Looking at Regina's departing figure, Lena couldn't help but comment, "Why does your mother look so grim, like someone owes her money?"Anthony's face darkened as he looked up at Lena. "Is that how you talk to your elders?"Lena met the man's gaze. "I was just ma
Margot lost herself again, buried her head and banged it against the headboard. Anthony gestured to Lena and said, "Hold her."Lena hastily held Margot, preventing her from hurting herself. As tears filled her eyes, Lena comforted her, "Margot, please don't do this. Even without Curtis and Lilac, you still have us."Margot, being held, shook all over and mumbled in a daze, "I killed my daughter. I killed Curtis. It's all my fault. If I die, they will come back. Lena, let me go. I'll go to the underworld and bring Lilac back. She's only three years old. How can she leave this world before me? Let me go."Seeing Margot struggling violently, Lena looked at Anthony. "You must think of something."Anthony looked at Margot in that state and felt terrible. But what could he do? Every time she woke up from a faint, she behaved like this. The only solution, albeit one that would ease her suffering, was...No! He couldn't do it.Just then Natalie came in. When Margot saw her, she rushed ov
It was just too hard.Over the next few days, even when Margot woke up, she was always in a daze. Tears constantly filled her swollen eyes and she was never fully conscious. Half a month after Curtis and Lilac left, Margot fell completely ill. She couldn't eat or drink, and lay on the bed as pale as paper, barely clinging to life thanks to the nutrient solution that sustained her fragile existence. A month after Curtis and Lilac left, Margot was in a coma for a week and never woke up.Many people came to visit her in the ward every day, including Royce, Zyla, and especially Calvin and Natalie. Seeing Margot unconscious every day, they were really afraid that she would leave this world like Lilac.In fact, during the week that Margot was in a coma, Anthony had already begun to hypnotize her. He knew that what he was doing was cruel, but in order to save Margot's life, he could only hypnotize her and make her forget that Curtis and Lilac had ever appeared in her life.When the
