Caspian was sitting at her side, half asleep. When he heard Jade’s voice, he opened his eyes in an instant. “Jade, you are awake. Are you feeling better? Does it still hurt?”

There was still some residual anesthetic effect. Jade shook her head gently and coughed a few times. Her face was pale. When she opened her mouth, tears flowed down her cheeks. “I am sorry.”

“You did not do anything wrong. There is no need to apologize. Jade, what is going on? How can you hurt yourself?” Caspian was thoroughly worried.

Jade looked around and realized that there was no one else in the ward except Caspian. “I–I should have died. If Mom and Dad had not brought me back, I would have died long ago.”

“I am living a stolen life. Ending my life is the path I am destined to take. I do not want to be a burden to you. I do not want you to be unhappy because of me.”

Jade sniffled and tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably. “My existence is redundant. I know that you guys did not chase me out because we have been living together for the past ten years.”

Caspian’s frown deepened. “It is not like what you think. Lachlan went out to get breakfast. Mom and Dad will be here soon. Jackson has something urgent to attend to and had to leave first.

“As for Ash, she had just left not long ago. She only left when you came out of the operation theater. You two have only known each other for a short time, and it is only natural that you do not get along. Give her some time, and it is going to be fine.” When Caspian mentioned Ash, there were no longer negative sentiments.

Jade closed her eyes. “You do not have to say anything anymore. do not blame you and the rest of the family. I have no right to, anyway. You have already treated me well enough, and sh never owed me anything.

“I just feel that there is no point in living anymore. Previously, Iid something wrong because I was jealous, but Mom and the rest were able to regard it as water under the bridge now and gave me a second chance. Sadly, I blew it.”

For a moment, Caspian did not know what to say to comfort her He could only quietly pass her some tissues and pat her arm to make her feel better. After a while, Jade’s emotions gradually calmed down.

Josh and Brooke just got to the hospital.

Josh was holding the food that their helper at home had cooked is other hand was holding Brooke’s hand. Seeing that Jade had woken up, Josh could be seen relaxed. “Jade, are you feeling better already?”

I’m alright now. Dad, Mom, you guys can leave. And Caspian, you should go back too. I’m fine.” Jade’s eyes were still red, but she sounded much calmer.

Brooke frowned slightly but quickly relaxed. “We just came here and you are chasing us away? What are you planning to do? Are you trying to hurt yourself again?”

Jade looked at Brooke timidly and shook her head vigorously. “No, I will not trouble you anymore. I am sorry?

“What are you talking about, Jade? You are our daughter and a member of this big family. What trouble are you talking about?” Josh did not like what Jade had just said.

When Brooke saw her like this, she suddenly recalled the scene hen they first adopted Jade. She was like that too. She behaved timidly and was more polite than the other children. She did not fight or snatch things from others.
