NovelEnglish190 Chose Wrong Sebastian's POV "What happened?" I ask Jack Fuller. Something triggered Ava. She only saw Scar and I earlier today, and she was fine leaving in her newfound brother's arms.
"She was calling you before we found her in her room, blood-soaked," Jack Fuller nails his resentment-filled eyes at me, "So you tell me, what happened to my daughter?! She LOVED you!" His voice lost shape when he burst out the word love, and it was the first moment I realized that-- She didn't love me. She never did. She WANTED me.
She demanded my time, my love, my indulgence, and she would be happy only when she got something she wanted from me. She never cared about what I wanted, not like Scar did.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I'll go see her," I open the door to her ward, not wanting to waste ton Jack Fuller.
The ward is completely dark and quiet. Ava is curling up under the cover, facing us with her back. Hard to tell whether she is asleep, or just upset and refusing to talk.
"She just fell asleep, waiting for you," Jack Fuller blocks betweenand the room. His words instantly lit up a furious fire in my chest, "If you are going in like this, all riled up and ready for a fight, then maybe you shouldn't." Did they summonhere in the middle of the night, just to tellto sit in the hallway waiting for their daughter to get the rest that she couldn't have gotten without me? What a clown did I make myself?! "Do I fucking owe you anything?! I'm here as a fucking courtesy! What gave you the courage to playlike this?" I grab his collar and push him against the wall, "Letmake it clear, my help to Ava, AND your business, is out of my kindness. It's not something you can exploit with such arrogance!" Jack Fuller blurts with utter fear, his face pale with blood draining from it: "I-I'm sorry!" I didn't like him very much, but I never raised my voice at him...because of Ava. But at this moment I really want to smash his despicable face in with my fist! I guess I have indulged the Fullers too much that he dares to talk tolike this.
"He didn't mean ill! Please, he is just worried about Ava!" Anna Fuller throws herself over to rescue her husband, and I let him go and dodges her. Scar cares about her, well, more than any other Fullers. I don't want a conflict with her.
"You have no idea what you cost me!" I squeeze my words out of me, having a hard tkeeping my voice calm, "This is the last tI'll help any of you! You better tell Ava that when she wakes up!" I spent little effort holding back my anger at Jack Fuller, but I know I'm actually mad at myself.
I fucking chose wrong again! I 19010 should have known! After I saw Ava's true color, the lies, and everything else, I should have known that everything can be turned into a weapon for someone who manipulates, even their own life! The girl I promised to protect died, and I don't even know when.
Maybe it's my indulgence that killed her.
"You can't go!" Jack Fuller pushes his wife away, flying over and blocking my way again, "Please! I'm sorry for what I said! I was just worried sick about Ava! But you can't go! If you leave now, it's bet different than killing her! You have no idea how devastated she was after the phone call with you, and she might do it again if you are not here when she wakes up! Please! You have saved her so many times, you can't leave to die now! Please!" "I will cto see her when she snaps out of the illusion that she can blackmail me!" I push him out of my way and trying to resist, he stumbles to the side.

Frankly, even if I said I wouldn't help them again, it's not like I said I would destroy his family. This is too much, even for him.
I start to feel like he doesn't care aboutseeing Ava, but just wanthere. Why...? Scar! Scar is alone at home!
The moment her npops up in my head, cold sweat breaks out. I hold my breath as horror takes Over me. No way they would try anything like that, would they?! If anyone, it would be Ava! Was it even her in the fucking ward?! "Miller!" I pulled out my phone, leaving a voice message for him, "Go to my place now! Scarlett should be there!"
