Chapter 4

Wearing the housekeeper's uniform, I walked barefoot out of the Lawrence mansion.

Not far from the door was a parked stretch limo, my ticket to a new life.

I hurried my steps towards it, but was forcibly dragged back to the Lawrence house by a group of people.

It turned out that Jack and Lily had been playing too roughly. A fallen red candle had ignited the bedsheets, burning the girl's arm.

Lily looked at Jack with tears in her eyes, pitiful and delicate.

"Jack, my arm is burned. How can I be the leading lady now? You have to think of something!"

I stared at the dense red marks on Lily's body and the scattered dog leash, whip, and red candles on the floor.

So this was what the usually calm and controlled Jack liked in private.

I smiled bitterly, my heart aching.

Lily noticed my gaze and, whether intentionally or not, twisted her body.

A rabbit tail fell from the bed.

She covered her mouth apologetically: "I'm sorry, Jack really likes little rabbits!"

"Sister, you don't mind, do you? After all, you're older now and can't play like this anymore, right?"

I looked at the girl's face, so young it could drip water, and her smug expression.

Unfortunately, she didn't understand that no one can stay young forever.

I found this farce utterly boring and checked my watch:

"Jack, did you drag me back just to watch this show?"

"I have urgent matters to attend to. I don't have time to play house with you!"

Jack angrily grabbed my hand, his face arrogant.

"Who said you could leave? You really think I can't let you go?"

"You're thinking too highly of yourself!"

"I brought you back to borrow your skin for Lily to use!"

I stared at Jack in disbelief:

"Do you know what you're saying? What right do you have to harm my body!"

Jack bent down, his eyes full of cruelty.

"You're just a dog I raised. How dare you talk about rights!"

"Lily's body is delicate and can't be marked. We can only use your skin."

"Dr. Yang, proceed!"

A group of people rushed over to hold down my hands. I struggled desperately: "No!"

But the needle mercilessly pierced my skin, and I gradually lost consciousness.
