Chapter 71
“Sharon, how long are you planning to keep this up?!” Carter's voice dropped even lower and colder.
Before Sharon could say a word, Kelly suddenly stood up.
“Sharon, | know you've always had a misunderstanding about me. If that’s the reason you resent me...” She bit
her lower lip. ” Then I’m willing to apologize.”
With that, she gave Sharon a deep bow. “I'm sorry, Sharon. | hope you can forgive me.”
The gesture, done in the middle of the elegant restaurant, quickly drew curious glances from nearby diners.
Sharon stared at her for a long while, saying nothing.
Kelly remained bowed, as if she wouldn't lift her head unless she was forgiven.
Tdragged on. Carter's expression grew increasingly cold.

Just as he was about to speak, Sharon finally opened her mouth.
“Do you even know what you're apologizing for?”
Kelly's eyes fluttered like a startled deer. She glanced at Carter, then lowered her voice.
“Il... I shouldn't have cback while | am so ill...”

your and Carter's lives. You'll never seeagain. Whether I live or die after that... it will have nothing to do with
either of you.”
Before she could finish, Carter cut her off, his voice low and stern. “Kelly, what nonsense are you talking about?!”
Tears welled in her eyes as she murmured, “It’s true | don’t have long to live. I'm willing to trade the t| have
left for
Madeline's health.”
His face turned to stone. “Stop saying such things.’

Kelly forced a brave smile as tears slid quietly down her cheeks. She looked delicate, heart-wrenchingly so.
“As long as Sharon agrees, it’s all worth it.”
People nearby began to murmur.
“Oh my god... how could anyone be so cruel to someone with a terminal illness?”
“Sounds like she’s just asking for medicine... Is that woman really threatening her with a life-saving drug? That's
twisted.”
One person couldn't hold back and spoke up. “Miss, she already apologized. What more do you want? Can't you
see how pitiful she is?”
Others chimed in.
“Yeah, are you trying to push her to her death or what?”
“Have a little mercy. Why be so aggressive?”
Kelly dabbed at her tears and turned to the crowd. “Thank you, everyone... | really don’t care what happens to
me. As long as Sharon is willing to hand over the medicine to save Madeline, I'll do anything.”
“Huh? So she’s asking for medicine for someone else?”

“She’s in that condition and still thinking of others? What a kind woman.”
A tide of judgmental stares and whispers settled on Sharon. 1
“Using someone's life-saving medicine as a bargaining chip... karma’s gonna get her.”
“Con, that woman’s gone too far.”
“If something happens to that person, it'll be murder, plain and simple.”
The voices of disapproval swirled around her, relentless. In that moment, Sharon seemed like the villain in
everyone's eyes.
She listened in silence, her expression blank.
All Kelly had to do was cry a little, play the victim, and the world would bend to her side.
Just then, a soft chuckle broke the tension.
“Well, isn’t that strange,” Xavier said lightly. “My friend hasn't done or said a thing, and somehow she’s already
a murderer?”
