Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self r

Chapter 72 Someone Has Been Harmed

The winter in the southern region proved to be an unforgiving adversary, with its relentless cold and pervasive dampness.

Back then, Angela, facing the harsh conditions, sought refuge in a cramped storage room, enduring sleepless nights as the biting cold seeped into her bones. Even a full night’s rest. failed to thaw her freezing body, leaving her hands and feet persistently cold the next day.

Despite Angela’s devoted care for others, she neglected her own well–being.

Now, as winter set in, the chill penetrated her more profoundly than the frigid nights spent in the unheated storage room.

Angela’s pallid face grew colder as she observed the room’s occupants, realizing that even close blood ties could reach a point of desperation..

Summoning strength despite the pain in her bones, Angela sat up, her voice hoarse from prolonged silence. “Sometimes, I wonder if I am truly your daughter or your sister,” she questioned, her gaze sweeping across the room.

“Half an hour has passed since you all came in. You’ve discussed the killer, but has anyone shown the slightest concern for my injuries? Have you considered if I’m in pain, hungry, or thirsty?”

Angela’s lowered gaze trembled, and despite the shock on their faces, she smiled to herself. “After you finish talking, just leave. I don’t want to see any of you. If I had a choice, I wouldn’t want to be born into the Kins Family!”

Samuel erupted in anger. “Angela, are you out of your mind? We all rushed over here. Is that not enough for you? Do we have to kneel down and beg you, treat you like a god, for you to be satisfied?”

James, a mixture of frustration and disbelief etched across his features, fixed his gaze upon Angela’s serene countenance.

George became even more furious. “I thought you would learn your lesson after going through such an incident. I never expected you to be so stubborn and even worse. Angela, you’re becoming more and more outrageous. Who do you think you are?”

Fanny looked at Angela. Is this a deliberate strategy, or…

She approached, attempting to reach out to Angela. “Angela, we’ve all been really worried about you lately. Please stop provoking Mom and Dad. Let’s all take a step back.”

Angela slightly frowned and distanced herself. “Fanny, have you already forgotten what I said last time?”

When it came to Fanny. Scarlet became sensitive and immediately asked. “Fanny, what did Angela say to you? Did she bully you?”

Fanny quickly shook her head. “No, she just said she didn’t want to see me. I understand.”

Scarlet never expected that Angela could still cause distress to Fanny at school. Fanny, being a gentle person, might have endured many grievances silently.

Upon reflecting on this, Scarlet’s slight affection for Angela disappeared.

She sighed with sadness and despair. “Angela, what do you want to achieve? Since you came, our family hasn’t had a single good day. It’s been chaotic and tumultuous. Fanny has reached her limit. Are you made of steel? What kind of family do you want to turn this into before you’re satisfied? It’s my fault. I couldn’t maintain harmony and fairness, which made you jealous. You can direct all your anger toward me. Please don’t make it difficult for Fanny!”

Scarlet’s eyes turned red as she hugged Fanny, looking at Angela with a gaze filled with resentment and disappointment.

From a young age, Fanny had been obedient and well–behaved, excelling in her studies and talents such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was Scarlet’s pride and joy, the daughter she had wholeheartedly nurtured.

However, one day, someone told Scarlet that her daughter wasn’t Fanny; she had been switched at birth. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Her biological daughter was now being raised in the countryside, uneducated and uncultured. A crude girl who didn’t even know what Brundelian was. Scarlet’s world came crashing down.

Initially, she felt sympathy for Angela, her biological daughter, who had endured so much hardship and adversity. But gradually, she couldn’t bear it any longer.

Angela lied and deceived, pretending to be innocent and naive while being cunning and manipulative..

She deliberately acted obediently, taking credit for Fanny’s accomplishments, claiming them as her own to gain favor from her brothers.

Scarlet couldn’t tolerate such immoral behavior from her daughter, who was as deceitful as a fox.

Samuel sneered, “Mom, you’ve been too lenient with her. She’s managed to get her own siblings into trouble with the law. What else is she capable of? It’s better to cut ties with her now before she starts committing more serious crimes!”

James wore a stern expression as he grasped Samuel’s arm and questioned, “What are you saying?”

“Hmph, did I say something wrong? James, do you know how I spent that week in jail? I was starving and freezing, and she showed no mercy. Why should I show her any kindness?” Samuel glared fiercely at Angela. “In ancient times, what I’m doing is called sacrificing family for justice!”

Despite her exhaustion, Angela felt an unusual sense of calmness in her heart.

Finally, we’ve reached this point.

Angela experienced a sense of relief, lightness, and freedom she hadn’t felt in a long time.

She and her past self had taken completely different paths, and that was for the best.

She smiled faintly and said, “Alright then, find a time to change my registration separately. From now on, you can live your lives, and the Kins Family will no longer have any connection to me. You will no longer be my parents or my siblings.”

Change the registration?

For those with conservative beliefs, Angela’s words were perceived as an act of rebellion. George trembled with anger, wanting to intimidate Angela, but she remained unafraid, even suggesting changing her registration.

“I’m not dead yet!”

Changing registration was typically associated with starting a family or dealing with a deceased parent. George couldn’t comprehend Angela’s intentions. Is she cursing me to death?

As Angela met George’s fiery eyes, he grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled it downwards. Newly awakened from her injuries, Angela had no strength to resist and fell off the hospital bed.

“Ah… Let go! Who do you think you are to treat me like this…”

“Angela, do you really think no one could control you? As long as I’m alive, I can do whatever I want to you!” George forcefully pulled Angela down and threw her with great force, sweeping everything off the table onto her body.

Unsatisfied, George kicked her hard. “How dare you defy me? Let’s see if you still have the courage to defy me after I teach you a lesson! Tell me, are you admitting your mistake or not? Do you acknowledge your wrongdoing?”

Ignoring Angela’s injuries, the others watched coldly, offering no help.

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking echoed as Angela let out a muffled groan. Her face turned pale, cold sweat oozing from her forehead.

Angela’s frail body lay limp on the ground like tattered cloth.

She gave up struggling, staring numbly at the enraged George, who continued to beat her.

Tears streamed down her cheeks in large drops.

It hurts. It hurts so much…

At seven o’clock–the time for Angela’s bandage change–when the nurse gently pushed open the door to enter the ward, she was appalled by the distressing scene that unfolded before

her.

“Help! Someone has been harmed!”
