She shouted,"Sophia!Sophia!Call 911!Help!"
These words seemed to make Brian even more excited.The man slowly approached Lily,
as if playing a game of Catch Me if You Can:
"Call the police?Fine.Anyway,I'm going to jail soon.I'm not afraid of adding one more charge to my name!"
"But it's different for you,Lily.You're still so young.You haven't even had the chance to let your mother enjoy a comfortable life.What a pity!"
Lily's legs were shaking so much that she seemed on the verge of wetting herself."No...no."
Looking at my aunt and cousin in such a desperate situation,
I felt a sense of vengeful satisfaction welling up in my heart.
A lifetime ago,I died helplessly at Brian's hands just like this.
It was all because of my aunt's selfishness!
And in this life,they finally got to taste this kind of feeling.
"Come on!Lily,didn't you say you loved me very much?Then come and keep me company.Come and keep me company,along with your baby!"
After saying that,Brian took a big step forward,and stabbed the fruit knife into Lily's belly.
I saw the blood flowing out slowly.
At the same time,blood also flowed out from Lily's lower abdomen,which was really horrifying.
I dialed 911 and reported the incident to the police as quickly as possible.
"Hello?I911?I want to report a crime.There's someone stabbing people with a knife at No.XX,XX Road."
Lily leaned against the corner in pain,covering her belly and sliding down."My baby,my baby.It hurts so much!It hurts so much!"
My aunt squatted down and nervously covered Lily's wound,
"My dear Lily,my dear Lily!"
Brian laughed maniacally."Haha!You were eyeing my money.You deserve it!I'm going to prison,and I’m dragging thw two of you down with me!!"
——Beep beep!
Since the police station was not far away, the police arrived quickly.
They went upstairs in a highly trained manner.When they saw that Brian didn't cooperate and open the door,they directly broke the door down.
Soon,they subdued Brian.
Brian still had that crazy and fearless expression on his face,as if he had given up all hope.
And Lily and my aunt were taken to the hospital by the officers.
I went to the police station to give a statement.
Based on the clues I provided,it was estimated that Brian could be charged with another crime of aggravated assult.
Plus,Lily was very likely to have a miscarriage because of this.
Brian definitely couldn't get away this time.
A few days later, I went to the hospital to visit my cousin Lily.
As soon as I entered the room,I saw Lily covering her face and crying.
The other patient in the room saw me and pointed at Lily,whispering to me,"Are you here to see her?"
I nodded.
The person said again,"Then you'd better comfort her.She's been doing nothing but crying these days.Her mother's persuasion doesn't work either.Sigh...After all,she had a miscarriage.Poor thing."
I walked over and was about to comfort my cousin.
She suddenly looked up at me."My house,Sophia!My house is gone!My big house with a garden!"
"And I've had a miscarriage.How other man ever accept me in the future?"
She didn't speak softly,and the other patient obviously heard it too.
She turned to me and gave me an embarrassed look.
She clearly didn't expect that my cousin actually cared more about money and men than the child she had lost.
I had already expected this.After all,my cousin had been like this since I firstg knew her.
"Sophia!What are you doing here?"
Suddenly,a furious shout came from behind me.
It was obviously my aunt's voice.
I turned around and saw my aunt walking over angrily and giving me a hard push.
I stumbled backwards a few steps before I managed to steady myself.
I looked confused on the surface."Auntie,what are you doing?"
The middle-aged woman in front of me put her hands on her hips.Her eyes were wide open and burning with rage.
Her chest heaved violently with her breathing.Her voice was sharp and piercing as she pointed directly at me:
"How dare you ask?Sophia,we treated you like family,but what about you?What lousy idea did you give us?You said he was an influencer and we could get money from him.Now look!My Lily didn't get the house and even ruined her health!"
"This is all your fault!"
I sneered.
See?Such people never think something's their own problem.They always blame others when anything goes wrong.
But if she did get the money,do you think she would be willing to share even one bit with me?
Seeing my reaction,my aunt was obviously even angrier.
She poked my arm hard, with so much force that it seemed as if each poke was filled with her anger."What are you laughing at!You little wretch!Do you know how miserable you've made our family?"
I didn't pretend anymore.I shook her off and said,"Auntie,what are you talking about?How could it be my fault?Don't just open your mouth and talk nonsense."
"At that time,I just showed you Brian's account.As for coming up with the idea,I didn't do that."
"You decided to try and get money from him on your own.Don't blame everything on me."
After Lily heard what my aunt said,she also thought it was my fault.
"Sophia!How can it have nothing to do with you?It's all your fault for showing us his account.If we didn't know about it,nothing would have happened!"
Her whole facial expression showed nothing but dissatisfaction and anger.
It seemed that all their misfortunes at the moment were caused by me.
I wasn't intimidated either."You're really ridiculous.Isn't it because you were too greedy and wanted to get his money that you got into trouble?How can you blame me for that?"
Elder people just couldn’t stand it when youngsters told them in their face that something was their fault.
Sure enough,as soon as she heard me say that they were greedy,my aunt's face turned livid instantly.Her lips trembled slightly,as if she was trying hard to suppress the emotions that were about to burst out.
Suddenly,she rushed towards me.Her face became distorted,and her right hand was raised high,obviously wanting to give me a hard slap!
"Enough!"Suddenly,a loud female voice stopped my aunt.
