My Adopted Sister’s Rage Was Only for Me,So After Rebirth I Fought Back Chapter 05

The room went dead silent.

Ethan stared at me, then whipped around toward the bed.

Blood had plastered the woman’s long hair to her face, revealing Mom’s deathly pale features.

“Mom?” His voice cracked.

Dad froze beside the bed, and the phone dropped from his hand.

Lily, who had been sobbing in the corner moments earlier, went rigid too.

She stared at my pajamas on Mom’s body, her lips trembling. “No. How could that be Mom?”

Then Ethan lunged at me.

“You did this on purpose, Natalie! You knew Lily would come in here, so you put Mom in your

place!”

He reached for my phone. I stepped aside and held the recording screen in front of his face.

“Your mother is bleeding to death, and your first instinct is still to take my phone?”

Ethan stopped short.

Mom no longer had the strength to struggle. Her breathing grew weaker by the second, and

the housekeeper was drenched in sweat.

“Mr. Bennett, Mrs. Bennett is dying!”

Dad seemed to wake from a trance. “Call Dr. Morgan. Get him here now!”

“There’s no time.” I cut him off calmly. “I called 911 and the police as soon as the first stab

landed.”

Ethan jerked his head up. “You called the police?”

His panic wasn’t about Mom’s injuries. He was terrified that the police might take Lily away.

“Who told you to do that? Cancel the call right now!”

I looked at him and laughed. “It was only two stab wounds. That doesn’t mean she’ll die. Why

are you so worried?”

Ethan’s face flushed crimseti. “That’s our mother in that bed!”

“And?” I met his eyes. “If I were lying there, hadn’t you already decided to lock the doors, take my phone, and wait for the family physician?”

His mouth opened, but no words came out.

Fists suddenly pounded on the front door downstairs. Paramedics and police officers called out

from the other side.

Dad’s face changed. “Didn’t we lock the doors?”

“I disabled the security system in advance.”

I moved out of the doorway. The paramedics rushed in, cut through Mom’s blood-soaked pajamas, and assessed her injuries.

“She’s lost a dangerous amount of blood. We need to transport her immediately.”

When they brought in the stretcher, Ethan instinctively blocked the door.

“Can you treat her here first? We have a family physician.”

One of the paramedics stared at him in disbelief. “She could go into shock at any moment, and you want to delay transport?”

Police officers entered behind them.

“Everyone step back. Don’t touch anything else in this room.”

Ethan bent to pick up the knife, but an officer stopped him with a shout.

“Don’t move it!”

Lily finally reacted. She wrapped her arms around her head and curled up in the corner.

“I don’t know what happened. I had another episode. I really don’t remember anything!”

She turned to me. “Natalie, why are you doing this to me?”

I opened the security footage and turned the volume all the way up.

On-screen, Lily expertly unlocked the door with the spare key. She approached the bed and softly called my name, Only after getting no response did she pull the knife from her pocket.

Then her voice rang clearly through the room.

“Why won’t you just die? Once you’re gone, Mom, Dad, and Ethan will all be mine.”

No one spoke.

Lily’s tears stopped. The video kept playing.

It showed her stab the woman twice, then drop the weapon and pretend to be confused the

moment she heard footsteps..

Dad reached for my phone. “Turn that off!”

I moved it beyond his grasp. “If she simply couldn’t control herself, why are you afraid to let the police see this?”

Dad’s face darkened. “She’s your sister, Natalie. She didn’t mean it. Are you really going to send a sick woman to prison?”

“The evidence will determine whether she meant it.” I looked at Lily as an officer restrained

her. “You don’t get to decide that for her.”

Mom was carried out to the ambulance. Lily left in police custody.

Before she went, she looked back at me. There was no confusion left in her eyes, only hatred.

Because Mom reached the hospital in time, she survived. She briefly regained consciousness

after surgery.

An officer stood beside her bed and asked whether she had known we were switching rooms

that night.

Mom didn’t answer him. She reached past the officer, seized Dad’s hand, and spoke in a weak but perfectly clear voice.

“Natalie did this. She deliberately put me in that room.” The room went dead silent.

Ethan stared at me, then whipped around toward the bed.

Blood had plastered the woman’s long hair to her face, revealing Mom’s deathly pale features.

“Mom?” His voice cracked.

Dad froze beside the bed, and the phone dropped from his hand.

the housekeeper was drenched in sweat.

“Mr. Bennett, Mrs. Bennett is dying!”

Dad seemed to wake from a trance. “Call Dr. Morgan. Get him here now!”

“There’s no time.” I cut him off calmly. “I called 911 and the police as soon as the first stab

landed.”

Ethan jerked his head up. “You called the police?”

His panic wasn’t about Mom’s injuries. He was terrified that the police might take Lily away.
