Rita's POV:

 

I dreamt a long, long dream.

 

In my dream, I was still the distinguished and renowned daughter of the Lively family. I was an extraordinary beauty with no peer, and a superior status to match. I was the object of desire for innumerable men of wealth, all whom scrambled for the smallest bit of attention from me.

 

In my dream, my parents were healthy and happy. My family was by my side, filled with joy.

 

I laughed loudly, proudly, with all my strength. I was happy, contented. I was at the top of the world.

 

But... The moment I opened my eyes, the wonderful scenes from that oh so lovely dream vanished in an instant.

 

Waking up, I realized that I was still lying on the hospital bed.

 

Faced with crushing reality, the feeling of helplessness enveloped me. I struggled to get up. Subconsciously, I curled up. However, I had forgotten that I had on a drip. My reckless movement caused the needle to deviate and soon, a lump appeared on the back of my hand.

 

I stared at the lump in dismay, but I didn't feel any pain at all. Feeling sorry for myself, I hugged myself tightly.

 

The strong loneliness almost suffocated me. It was difficult to breathe. I desperately wanted to cry, but try as I might, I couldn't shed a single tear.

 

I bet I looked so ridiculous now.

 

I gasped, drawing in sharp breaths, just like a dying fish.

 

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Finally, a glimmer of hope had appeared! Unable to help myself, I said eagerly, "Come in!"

 

Ashley opened the door slowly. She entered, looking back vigilantly for a few times before closing the door as silently as she could.

 

Anxious, I asked her, "How did it go...?"

 

"I'm sorry, Rita. Our plan failed. Scarlett didn't bite at all, and we even received a warning letter from our superior." Ashley hung her head low, like a defeated animal.
