Chapter 6

Rebecca's provocation completely infuriated Louisa.The tragic scene of her brother's death yesterday kept replaying in her mind.She could no longer suppress her anger,and raised her hand to slap Rebecca hard in the face!

However,Rebecca didn’t get angry.Instead,she smirked and leaned close to Louisa’s ear,whispering something.It made Louisa’s face go pale in shock.

The next moment,Rebecca threw her lighter onto the exposed electrical wires.

Sparks burst out as the flames spread quickly through the flowers and vines.

When Simon saw the fire,he rushed in,ignoring the servants trying to hold him back.He grabbed Rebecca,who was closest to him and turned to run.

Louisa opened her mouth to call out to him,but sharp pieces of falling glass stabbed into her back before she could.She couldn’t help but wail painfully.Then,a loud explosion erupted.The blast sent her flying,hitting the ground hard in the yard.

Simon ran out carrying Rebecca.Once he was safe,he realized Louisa wasn’t with them.He turned to go back,but Rebecca clutched his arm as she cried pitifully.

“Simon,it hurts so much!My leg might be broken…”

Simon looked down at her.After a brief pause,he made a decision.He scooped her up and ran toward the car.

“We’ll get you to the hospital first!”he said urgently.

Then,he ordered the driver,“Take Louisa to the hospital too.”

Simon didn’t notice Louisa lying on the ground,trembling in pain.

Firefighters arrived soon after and put out the flames.Louisa was lifted into an ambulance,treated with simple bandages and sent home alone.

Moving like a ghost,she packed her luggage into the car,picked up Micah’s urn and drove to the cemetery.She buried him quietly beside their parents.When it was done,she didn’t look back.She went straight to the airport and boarded a plane to Boston.
