Chapter 5

Before Dahlia could respond, Caspian quickly ran inside.

A phone strongly hit her body.

Camilla was watching TV in the living room when she suddenly came running down from upstairs.

Without saying many words, she charged over like crazy, pushed Camilla onto the floor, and started hitting her.

Camilla did not dare fight back and was beaten until her body turned bruised and swollen. She begged for forgiveness while crying, “Sister Dahlia, stop hitting me! Please! Stop hitting me!”

“I-I’m not here to separate you and Uncle, I’m here to become part of this family! You need to trust me!”

Dahlia stayed quiet, only forcefully pushing her head against the floor before grabbing a long stick and striking down hard.

Dahlia’s head rang loudly.

The bottom right side of the phone screen showed the time when everything happened, and it was this afternoon.

She had stayed inside the room the whole afternoon and never went downstairs at all.

She pressed the video open once more and carefully checked it again. The “Dahlia” in the recording always turned her back toward the camera and never showed her face clearly.

Camilla asked someone to act as her and performed a fake injury.

“This wasn’t my doing. I didn’t leave the room the entire afternoon.”

Dahlia lowered the phone. “You can carefully watch the video scenes. That person never shows her face…”

A slim figure quickly ran into the room and gently persuaded, “Uncle, Dahlia has serious depression and can’t handle too much stress. I’m really okay now, so don’t keep forcing Dahlia…”

Caspian only looked toward her, his tone cold as winter. “Dahlia, come over here and apologize to Camilla.”

Dahlia nodded.

She slowly rose to her feet and stopped in front of Camilla. “Camilla, I’ll first say sorry for what I’m about to do next. I’m truly sorry for making you hurt.”

Right after saying that, she grabbed the flower vase beside her and smashed it hard at Camilla.

Camilla’s scream quickly spread across the entire villa.

Dahlia, though, remained unusually calm. She immediately grabbed Camilla’s long hair and roughly pressed her head onto the floor, completely repeating the actions from the video.

In Dahlia’s life, there had never been the words “quietly putting up with anger.”

After finishing everything, Dahlia stood up and prepared to leave.

Before she could take a few steps, Caspian tightly caught her wrist.

“Dahlia, are you insane?” Caspian’s voice came out through clenched teeth. “You really dared to hurt Camilla this badly right in front of me!”

“Men, my wife’s serious mental illness has acted up again, and she attacked someone for no reason. Immediately send her to the psychiatric hospital and watch her closely. Before her illness gets better, nobody is allowed to let her out!”

Before Dahlia even had the chance to inform her assistant, someone forcefully took her into the psychiatric hospital.

Those three days in the psychiatric hospital turned into the longest and most painful days of Dahlia’s life.

The nurses and doctors acted toward her as if she were a serious psychiatric patient who might attack anyone at any time.

The moment she entered the iron gate, they forced a restraint jacket onto her.

Any tiny movement to resist got her hit again and again with hard punches.

On the first day, staff pushed her beneath a high-pressure water gun, while cold water covered her for the whole night.

On the second day, they pulled her up and began obedience tests, forcing her to wash every bedsheet around the hospital with her bare hands. After laboring the whole day, shards of glass were placed into her food. She grew so hungry that she could only battle dogs for food.

On the third day, they strapped her onto the electric shock chair, and a strong electric current ran through her whole body. The shocks became so bad that her eyes turned upward.

Three days later, they finally let her leave the psychiatric hospital. Her mind already felt confused, and she could not even stand properly.

She picked up her things from the security room near the entrance.

Right after she pulled out her phone and tried to call her assistant, a car suddenly pulled over by the road.

With a loud commotion sound, somebody stepped out of the car, ran toward her, reached forward, and hit her until she passed out.
