"Brothers, why did you call me here?" I asked, mustering my courage.
William, Henry, and James exchanged glances, each holding a switch in their hands.
"You little brat! How dare you put Lily in the hospital!" James snarled, brandishing his switch and glaring at me fiercely.
"I really didn't mean to, I just used the wrong seasoning..." I stammered, trying to defend myself as my heart sank.
"Wrong seasoning? You nearly killed Lily!" James roared, his anger palpable.
He clearly cared more about Lily, completely disregarding my feelings.
He was the one who first suggested adopting Lily, and now he's blaming me?
I'm dead.
Lying here in this cold cellar.
The servants, realizing I'm missing, start to panic.
"Sir, the second young miss is gone!"
James furrowed his brow, his face full of contempt. "What game is she playing now? Doesn't she want to apologize to Lily?"
"Rachel nearly killed Lily, she must apologize!" William also looked furious.
