"I'm sorry,Ethan..."
"Daisy kept barking at the door just now.I saw that you had fallen asleep and wanted to take it out for a walk myself.But who knew that as soon as I opened the door,Daisy knocked me down.I was so scared.And because the lights in the corridor outside were broken,I think I had a seizure and I just fainted..."
"When I woke up again,Daisy was already gone,and my necklace must have been taken away by her too."
"I was just going out to look for it,but Clare came here first..."
The more she spoke,the more aggrieved she looked,and tears kept falling to the ground.
Ethan could no longer care about the loopholes in What she saidHe just asked worriedly,"You had another seizure?Why didn't you wake me up?"
Sophie shook her head and forced a smile."No,Ethan.You've been taking care of me for so long.I can't trouble you anymore."
I stood up,and felt the warmth in my heart gradually fading away.
"Ethan,do you believe her?"
Ethan didn't say anything,but he subconsciously held Sophie tighter in his arms.
I smiled self-deprecatingly,feeling that my question was really unnecessary.
I should have expected things to end like this long ago.
If Ethan and I could be said to have got along with each other with respect before Sophie appeared,then since her appearance,the two of us completely disliked each other.
Especially that Sophie claimed to have claustrophobia.
Ethan and I met through a blind date.
But before that date I had had a crush on him for seven whole years.
I was lucky.After graduating from university,I rejected countless men on blind dates but still met Ethan.
Perhaps it was because we were at the age to settle down,and my own conditions were not bad either.Ethan and I quickly got the married.
At first,Ethan wasn't very enthusiasti towards mec.I tried my best to be a good wife and warm his heart with my sincerity.
His attitude towards me finally changed a little and began to act like my husband.He even took the initiative to bring Lily to our home and treat her illness personally.
Lily liked him very much,and I also thought that he would like Lily very much and would love her for a lifetime.
But after Sophie came back,everything changed.
For many times he would leave me behind,making me disappointed again and again,just to accompany Sophie.
I had made a fuss about it,but he seemed very disappointed.
"Clarissa,I always thought you were very sensible."
"Dear Sophie has claustrophobia,and she got this disease because of me.I must cure her."
Before this,I could still deceive myself,"Ethan will always come back."
He was still the brother-in-law who loved Lily,and still my husband who got along with me with respect.
But I was wrong.
The disappointment and grievance that I didn't told Ethan caused him to become more and more brazen.
Until in the end,Lily's life no longer mattered to him at all.
When I saw the blood in the bathroom,my ten-year love for Ethan melted away with it.
I heard Ethan's voice ringing in my ears:"It's okay.Sophie didn't do it on purpose."
"Moreover,Daisy is just a dog.You should have calmed down after slapping Sophie."
Calm down?
How could I calm down?
Daisy was a stray dog that my sister brought back from outside.She and I brought her back from the dead together,and she had accompanied us for three years.
To my sister and me,Daisy was already our family member.
Every time my sister went into depression and wanted to hurt herself again,as long as Daisy barked at her and jumped into her arms,she could feel better.
My family members were killed,and Ethan thought that just one slap would make me calm down.
I seemed to be drained of all strength,and said numbly:"Ethan,let's get a divorce."
"But Sophie,I will never let her get away with it."
I will always find the evidence that Sophie killed Daisy.
