Chapter 1 Resentment
There was a permanent smell of disinfectant in the hospital. Lora Wood hated it the most but could no longer smell it.
Three minutes ago, the doctor had announced her death.
Lora didn't know why she still had a wisp of consciousness. Like a ghost, she was full of resentment and wouldn't dissipate.
Maybe Heaven deemed her stupid and let her bear witness of her misery.
She widened her eyes and stared at a hugging couple in front of her sickbed.
The pretty woman was none other than her sister, Elsa Wood, and the dashing man was her fiancé, Denny Well! This damned pair hooked up even before her body turned cold!
"Den, gentler... you hurt me!" Elsa shyly pushed Denny.
"Where does it hurt? Show me!" Denny immediately let go of her.
At the sight of his anxious sweat, Elsa leaned against his chest contentedly without replying.
Denny became even more anxious, "Did you get hurt to save me? I'm calling the doctor!"
Unable to bear the sight of Denny lovingly holding Elsa, Lora wafted over and scratched at his shoulder.
"Denny, I saved you! It even cost me my life! How could you be deceived and fall in love with her?"
Lora used all her strength to shake Denny, trying to awaken him and vent her grievances, but her void hands just went through his body.
"Denny, Elsa suffered a lot to save you from the kidnappers. She is your savior, and our family lost a daughter. Lora should not die in vain, and you owe your life to the Wood family. We don't expect your requital but hope you can treat Elsa well so that Lora's spirit in Heaven will be comforted!"
A middle-aged man sitting on the couch looked at Denny and said with a smile.
He was Lora's father, Henry Wood. Instead of grieving over his daughter's death, he showed gratification on his face.
"Dad! You know that I saved Denny! Why do you lie for Elsa? Denny is my fiancé, and you know that I love him. Why do you step over my dead body and help my sister to get my man? But I am your biological daughter!"
In disbelief, Lora floated to Henry and let out a miserable shriek, only to find her voice audible exclusively to her. The three people in the ward were not affected at all.
"Dad, you are right. I will cherish Elsa. After going through life and death, now I realize that Elsa is my true love. Besides, she already bore our child, so certainly I will treat her and the baby well."
Touched by Denny's confession, Elsa smiled happily.
"Really? How long are you pregnant? Okay! We should prepare for the wedding!"
Lora sank to the floor, finding the harmonious scene absurd and ironic. Stopping her threatening gestures, she felt powerless.
She felt aggrieved!
As the real lady of the Wood family, she was replaced by Elsa at birth.
Elsa got everything, and her dead body was used as a stepping stone!
What was even more ridiculous was that she loved the wrong man and lost her precious life!
Hatred, resentment!
Lora's numb heart was stirred, and she got up with a start. Pouncing on her body, she wanted to come back! She wanted revenge and would not like to die like this!
However, time and time again, she went through the stiff body and couldn't come back!
Frantically she pounced on Denny and throttled him fiercely.
It was all in vain!
Bang!
Just then, a loud noise came from behind.
Lora turned around and stopped in front of a man.
The man was tall and upright. When he just stood there, the air about him was awful. His break-in was abrupt.
At the close range, Lora could see destructive resentment in his deep eyes.
