Albert pushed through the crowd and saw me on the ground. “Katherine?”
I lifted my bloodstained face and looked at him. “You came just in time. I have some questions for you.”
Emily arrived too, looking pure in her white wedding dress, but tears covered her face. “Katherine, today is the most important day of my life. Do you have to ruin it?”
She cried, shaking. “Why are you doing this to me? You’ve taken everything! I just want Albert… Can’t you let us be?”
My brother tried to lift me. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“Brother!” Emily cried. “The ceremony’s starting soon. Are you really leaving? This is just Katherine hurting herself. Do you think I’d beat my own sister?”
My brother pushed my hand away. “Katherine, you’re cruel. You hurt yourself just to frame Emily. Go to the hospital alone. Don’t worry, the Blake Family won’t keep a cripple. We’ll get you the best doctor.”
I knew talking was useless, but I stood up. “I just want to ask one thing, then I’ll go. Albert, from the start, being with me was just a bet, wasn’t it? You never really cared about me.”
“Yes.”
