Ethan opened the door,and Sophie was standing outside.
He was a little surprised and said,"Sophie dear,why are you here?"
Sophie smiled weakly."My necklace is still with Clara.That necklace is very important to me."
"You gave it to me back then..."
Then,Sophie gave me a gentle look,and the meaning of that look in her eyes was obvious.
I didn't say anything,just pretended not to see it and silently continued to pack my clothes.
Ethan coughed softly and stepped forward to stop my action."Give me the necklace."
I shook my head.
This was the only evidence that could prove that Sophie had killed Daisy.
I couldn't give it to him.
Ethan seemed impatient."What do you want that necklace for?"
I looked at Ethan coldly."That's the evidence that she killed Daisy.Why can't I keep it?"
Sophie,however,said softly beside us,"Clara dear,it's all a misunderstanding.Why don't you believe me?"
"Besides,when you said that I killedDaisy, do you have anything else to prove it?"
"If there’s only one necklace,what can it possibly prove?"
I didn't look at Sophie.I closed the suitcase and was about to pull it out.
But Ethan grabbed my hair and said slowly and clearly,"Give her the necklace."
Ethan's face was gloomy, as if he would lose his temper at any moment.
I just felt that my scalp was being pulled at painfully,but my pride made me clentch my teeth so as not to cry out in pain.
I endured the pain and turned my head slightly,and bit hard on Ethan's arm.
I heard him drew in a breath sharply,and then he quickly let go of his hand.
I stumbled forward a couple of steps unsteadily,but another force pushed me forward and I crashed directly onto the dining table.
I wanted to dodge,but the inertia didn’t give me the time to react.
I could only watch helplessly as my forehead hit the sharp corner of the table.There was a buzzing in my ears,and then blood gushed out.
In a trance,I heard Ethan's panicked cry.
"Clara!"
I,however,smiled mockingly.So now Ethan was caring about me?
But it was already too late.When he killed Lily,when he took Daisy away,and when he defended Sophie,did he ever think of me?Did he ever think of Lily,who had always adored and trusted him?
My vision was first blurred by the blood,and then I fell into endless darkness.
When I woke up again,I was already lying in a hospital bed.
I stared blankly at the ceiling and subconsciously touched my head.
It still hurt badly.
The door was pushed open,and Ethan and another doctor came in.
He was a little surprised and exclaimed when he saw I was awake,"Clara!You're awake!"
He sat beside me and said gently,"Clara dear,how do you feel now?"
I didn't answer.The other doctor,however,asked in confusion,"Dr.Jones,is this your wife?"
Ethan had never revealed our relationship to anyone at the hospital,and I rarely went to the hospital to see him.So,not many people in the hospital knew about our relationship.
Ethan nodded and was about to introduce me when the doctor sighed.
"You'd better pay more attention to your wife's mental state."
"After all,her younger sister committed suicide just yesterday."
I felt Ethan's body stiffen,and he asked in disbelief,"What did you say?"
"You didn't know?It was your wife who called 911 yesterday.But it was already too late,and the patient couldn't be saved."
