Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 68

Sebastian had made his way back to Kingston, his return marking a shift in the atmosphere. Meanwhile, Lilian was deeply absorbed in managing her own matters, her focus unwavering despite the turmoil around her.

At Solara First Hospital, within the exclusive VIP ward, Yulia finally regained consciousness after an entire day and night spent in a coma-like state. The moment her eyelids fluttered open, Ben’s hand shot out, delivering a sharp slap across her cheek. Mandy, taken aback by the sudden violence, hurried forward, instinctively shielding her daughter. Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded, “What are you doing? She just woke up—how could you hit her? Even if she made a mistake, she’s still our daughter!”

Ben’s fury was palpable, his finger trembling as he pointed accusingly at Mandy. “It’s because you’ve spoiled her rotten!” he growled. “After what happened last night, I’ve lost all respect at Solara. Now everyone knows I have a daughter with a heart full of poison. How am I supposed to face anyone again?”

Mandy found herself speechless, unable to argue back. Even she hadn’t anticipated Yulia’s behavior spiraling so far out of control.

But Yulia, still consumed by anger and confusion, shoved Mandy aside roughly and snapped, “You’re selfish, Dad! I’m your daughter, and instead of standing up for me, all you care about is your reputation. Do you even care about me or Mom at all?”

Mandy quickly pressed a hand over Yulia’s mouth to silence her outburst, then turned to Ben with a desperate look. “Yulia’s not thinking clearly right now. Please don’t take it personally. I’ll talk to her. Just… go home for now.”

Ben shot them both a venomous glare, his face contorted with rage. With a cold snort, he spun on his heel and stormed out, slamming the door so hard it echoed through the room.

Yulia sat motionless, staring at the closed door long after Ben had left. Her eyes burned with tears as she reached out and swept everything off the nearby table in a single, violent gesture. The previous day had been the most humiliating experience of her life. She hadn’t just lost Jeremy—she had lost every shred of her dignity. And it was all because of that woman. It was her fault.

Mandy hurried over and wrapped her arms around her daughter, who finally crumbled under the weight of her emotions. Holding her tightly, Yulia broke down, sobbing uncontrollably. “Mom… I hate her. I hate her so much.”

Mandy’s voice hardened with determination. “Don’t worry, Yulia. I’ll help you. I’ll make sure that little tramp is thrown out of Solara.”

“I want her to suffer,” Yulia hissed, her eyes blazing with fury. “I want her begging for death but never able to die.”

After finally calming her daughter enough to fall asleep, Mandy stepped outside the room and made a phone call. Yulia’s injuries were far worse than anyone had initially thought, requiring extended treatment. It was clear she would have to remain in the hospital for a while longer—returning to school was simply not an option at this point.

Meanwhile, Lilian and her classmates were preparing to face their very first set of high school midterm exams, unaware of the storm brewing just beyond their world.
