00:30I was jealous of her
00:31I was jealous that two tears from her could make the whole family panic
00:34I was jealous that she took everything I had, piece by piece
00:38I became more and more stubborn
00:39My temper also grew worse
00:41More violent and more strange
00:43Finally, at my 18th birthday ceremony
00:46I saw her kissing my promised mate, Caleb Stone, in the garden
00:49I completely lost it
00:51I questioned my parents, my brother, and the man I loved
00:54Why are you doing this to me?
00:56But they only looked at me with almost the same disappointed eyes
00:59Do you even know what you look like right now?
01:01You're acting like a lunaturk
01:04I laughed until tears came out
01:07The pain in my chest made my whole body shake
01:11I grabbed a knife and rushed at Chloe
01:15Everyone protected Chloe in a panic
01:17Comforting her and telling her not to cry
01:19No one cared that what I was holding was only a plastic knife and fork for cutting the cake
01:23My parents used my mental state as the reason and locked me in a psychiatric ward
01:27I think Liam's kick had injured me
01:30I coughed up blood day and night
01:32Again and again, I begged the doctors to call my parents
01:35But they never picked up once
01:37Finally, after another round of shock treatment, I stopped breathing
01:41And I saw the rumored soul shop
01:43I used all my emotions
01:45My ability to love in exchange for one chance to be reborn
01:49Mom held Chloe's hand and stood by the door, smiling as she waved at me
01:53Ava, come on
01:54Weren't you always saying you wanted a little sister?
01:57Sister?
01:58Chloe lifted her pale little face and called me in a sweet voice
02:01I turned around and went back to my room
02:03Everyone was left in the living room exchanging awkward looks
02:06What's wrong with her now?
02:07Maybe she just isn't used to having a new sister at home yet
02:10It's fine, I'll go talk to her later
02:12Mom, Dad, is Ava not like me?
02:14No, no
02:15Ava just has a temper, but she's not a bad girl
02:18Don't cry, don't be sad
02:19I'll talk to her for you later
02:21Liam is still the sensible one
02:23You have to take good care of your sister
02:25Their laughter kept drifting into my room
02:27Once again, I thought the soundproofing in this pack house was really terrible
02:31I didn't like it
02:32It was noisy as hell
02:33I simply stood up and started checking my things
02:35Too much time had passed and I could no longer remember what I owned when I was 12
02:40Now that I looked carefully, I was rich enough to shock even myself
02:44No wonder Chloe loved stealing my things so much
02:47Even the grown-up me couldn't help feeling a little jealous
02:49I picked up the jewelry on my vanity and shoved it all into my school bag
02:53If I didn't take it now, Chloe would soon ask for it in all kinds of ways
02:57I looked at the high-quality bracelet in my hand and remembered how Chloe broke it in my last life
03:02That was the first time I slapped her
03:04She hid behind the door with red eyes, looking scared
03:07Ava, I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to
03:10I've never I'm sorry'd anything like this before
03:12I just wanted to have a look and I dropped it
03:15Then she burst into tears and brought my parents and Liam home
03:18That was the first time I lost control and hit someone
03:20And also the first time dad grounded me
03:23Chloe clung to mom's leg
03:24Sobbing so hard she almost passed out
03:26But she still found the time to look up and make a face
03:29I pointed at her and tried to expose her
03:31But the next second Liam shoved me hard into my room
03:34Ava, can't you have a little compassion?
03:36Chloe has been through enough
03:37How can you still bully her?
03:39It's just one bracelet
03:41You have more than you can count
03:42What's wrong with letting her have it?
03:43I clenched my teeth and forced down the sobs stuck in my throat
03:47Just one bracelet?
03:48No, that was the birthday gift Liam bought me
03:50With the first prize money he ever won from a packed combat tournament
03:53But he had forgotten
03:54Starting that year, I never received another birthday gift again
03:57Even the dolls, clothes, and jewelry that used to be sent to my room all the time
04:01They all went to Chloe's room instead
04:03All because she said
04:04My classmates laugh at me
04:05They say I'm small and skinny
04:08And I don't know how to dress
04:09They say I'm nothing like Ava
04:10Who always looks so pretty and put together
04:12They say I look like some dirty little
04:15Liam was the one who helped her turn the whole class against me
04:17He knew
04:18He knew better than anyone
04:19But he didn't defend me
04:20He just watched my parents grow more and more disappointed in me
04:23And watched them favor that poor adopted daughter
04:26With the tragic past more and more
04:30By the time I finished packing all my valuables
04:32There was a soft knock on my bedroom door
04:35Ava?
04:36Sweetheart, come out for dinner
04:37I didn't answer
04:38I just opened the door and let her take my hand as we walked to the dining room
04:42Chloe was sitting in my usual seat
04:44Looking stiff and nervous
04:45Dad and Liam were both putting food on her plate
04:47I turned to look at my mother
04:48Am I supposed to eat on the floor?
04:51Of course not
04:52That's my fault
04:53I forgot to have another chair brought in
04:55Martha, get Ava a chair
04:57Ava, I'm sorry
04:58I didn't know this was your seat
05:00I'll give it back to you
05:03Ava, it's just a seat
05:04Chloe just got here
05:05Don't scare her
05:06Fine
05:07You can sit on my left
05:08I'll sit between you two
05:09Is that good enough?
05:10My parents didn't say anything
05:12And only watched my reaction
05:13Wasn't that just silent approval?
05:15I gave a cold laugh in my heart
05:17Really?
05:17So childish
05:18This whole family acted like they were on stage
05:20But their acting was awful
05:22It killed my appetite
05:23I took the chair from the housekeeper
05:25And dragged it straight to the far end of the table
05:27Away from all of them
05:28Liam's hand paused while he was putting food on Chloe's plate
05:31He looked like he wanted to say something several times
05:33But in the end, he said nothing
05:35The meal ended in that strange silence
05:37But when I stood up to go upstairs
05:39Dad stopped me again
05:40Dad looked a little awkward
05:42And cleared his throat
05:42Chloe is one year younger than you and Liam
05:45You two are her older brother and sister
05:47So you should give her a little more room
05:48She just lost her parents
05:50And she's been through a lot
05:51We're her family now
05:52We should take better care of her
05:54That's right
05:55I know you might not be used to having a sister yet
05:58But look how sweet Chloe is
05:59Spend more time with her
06:00And you'll get close soon
06:01They kept shooting looks at each other
06:02Across the table
06:03Clearly, neither of them
06:04Wanted to be the first to say what came next
06:06I was starting to lose patience
06:07So?
06:08Mom froze at the question
06:09Maybe she had never heard me speak to her
06:12In such a cold tone before
06:13So she didn't know how to answer
06:14For a moment
06:15My father took a sip of tea
06:16And smiled
06:17Chloe just transferred here
06:18And she isn't doing well physically or emotionally
06:20We really don't feel comfortable in her alone
06:21So how about you and Liam
06:22Both repeat a grade
06:23And go to school with her
06:24Liam already agreed
06:25We're just waiting for you
06:26I looked at Liam
06:27He lowered his head
06:29And didn't dare look at me
06:30Here we go again
06:31It was the same in my last life
06:33Liam and I were already in 7th grade
06:35They made us go back to 6th grade
06:37To keep Chloe company
06:39A year later
06:40Caleb had already gotten close to Chloe
06:44He transferred into our class too
06:46Using the excuse that he wanted to take care of me
06:50From then on
06:51They put on little shows in class every day
06:53They accused me of bullying Chloe
06:55And made the whole class shut me out
06:57Great
06:57Too bad I didn't want to play such a stupid game
07:00With little kids anymore
07:01It was a waste of time
07:02Does she need two servants just to go to school?
07:07Ava, what did you just say?
07:08I said
07:09Since Liam has already volunteered to serve her
07:12There's no need to force me to, right?
07:14Ava, what are you saying?
07:15Serve her?
07:16We just want you to spend more time together
07:18And get close sooner
07:19I don't have any duty to get close to her
07:22Whoever wants to get close to her
07:23Can go serve her
07:24Then it's settled
07:25You can go back to 6th grade
07:27And I'll keep going to 7th
07:28We stay out of each other's way
07:30I turned and went upstairs
07:32Behind me, they comforted Chloe
07:34Who was sobbing non-stop
07:37After 9 that night
07:38Liam knocked on my door
07:39Ava, are you asleep?
07:42What?
07:43Um, can you open the door?
07:45No
07:46It went quiet outside for a long time
07:48Just when I thought he had left
07:50Liam's voice came again
07:51Ava, you're upset, right?
07:53No
07:53You are
07:54Ava, is it because I only paid attention to Chloe today
07:57And ignored you?
07:58I was speechless
07:58I really wasn't upset
08:00I just didn't care
08:01Dealing with them was so boring
08:02It made me sick
08:03The Ava Blackwood
08:04Who would fall into deep depression
08:06Just because she was ignored
08:07Had already died alone
08:08In a psychiatric ward
08:11I let out a breath
08:13Really, no
08:14Liam, you can do whatever you want
08:15You can get close to whoever you want
08:17I don't care
08:18As long as you don't bother me
08:19It went quiet outside the door again
08:21After a while
08:22His voice carried a trace of helplessness
08:24Ava
08:25Chloe really is clodian
08:26Am I supposed to eat on the floor?
08:29Of course not
08:30That's my fault
08:31I forgot to have another chair brought in
08:33Martha, get Ava a chair
08:34Ava, I'm sorry
08:36I didn't know this was your seat
08:37I'll give it back to you

11:55I don't care
11:56As long as you don't bother me
11:57It went quiet outside the door again
11:59After a while, his voice carried a trace of helplessness
12:02Ava, Chloe really has clued in
12:04Look at her, she's so thin and small
12:06And she has such soft peeper and soft heart
12:08I'm really afraid she'll be getting bullied
12:11Ava, I'll go please stay with her for one year and year
12:13Once you're used to it, I'll transfer back to be with you, okay?
12:16Sure
12:17The school was funded by your family anyway
12:19So you could do whatever you wanted
12:22Early the next morning
12:23I carried my suitcase and school bag into the living room
12:26Everyone froze again
12:27I looked up and saw Caleb sitting right beside Chloe
12:30Ava, I'm here to take you to school
12:33I lowered my eyes and saw Chloe's hand holding his arm
12:36You don't need to pick me up anymore
12:38Of course, if you want to pick someone else up, suit yourself
12:41Why?
12:42I lifted my chin and motioned for him to look at the suitcase behind me
12:45Not only Caleb, Dad, Mom, and Liam all looked confused
12:49Liam stared hard at my suitcase with bloodshot eyes
12:52Ava, what is that?
12:53Clothes
12:54Clothes
12:55And some daily necessities
12:56And my jewelry
12:57I forgot to tell you
12:58Starting today, I'm boarding at school
13:00What?
13:31Godule
13:32I'm Photo

30:41I simply stood up and started checking my things. Too much time had passed and I could no longer remember
30:47what I owned when I was 12. Now that I looked carefully, I was rich enough to shock even myself.
30:53No wonder Chloe loved stealing my things so much. Even the grown-up me couldn't help feeling a little jealous.
30:59I picked up the jewelry on my vanity and shoved it all into my school bag. If I didn't take
31:04it now, Chloe would soon ask for it in all kinds of ways.
31:06I looked at the high-quality bracelet in my hand and remembered how Chloe broke it in my last life.
31:12That was the first time I slapped her. She hid behind the door with red eyes, looking scared.
31:16Ava, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to. I've never I'm sorry'd anything like this before. I just wanted to
31:22have a look and I dropped it.
31:24Then she burst into tears and brought my parents and Liam back. That was the first time I lost control
31:29and hit someone. And also the first time dad grounded me.
31:32Chloe clung to mom's leg, sobbing so hard she almost passed out. But she still found the time to look
31:37up and make a face.
31:38I pointed at her and tried to expose her. But the next second, Liam shoved me hard into my room.
31:43Ava, can't you have a little compassion? Chloe has been through enough. How can you still bully her?
31:48It's just one bracelet. You have more than you can count. What's wrong with letting her have it?
31:52I clenched my teeth and forced down the sobs stuck in my throat. Just one bracelet? No.
31:57That was the birthday gift Liam bought me with the first prize money he ever won from a packed combat
32:02tournament.
32:02But he had forgotten. Starting that year, I never received another birthday gift again.
32:06Even the dolls, clothes, and jewelry that used to be sent to my room all the time.
32:10They all went to Chloe's room instead. All because she said,
32:13My classmates laugh at me. They say I'm small and skinny and I don't know how to dress.
32:18They say I'm nothing like Ava who always looks so pretty and put together.
32:22They say I look like some dirty little...
32:23She was lying. Liam was the one who helped her turn the whole class against me.
32:26He knew. He knew better than anyone. But he didn't defend me.
32:29He just watched my parents grow more and more disappointed in me.
32:32And watched them favor that poor adopted daughter with the tragic past more and more.
32:39By the time I finished packing all my valuables, there was a soft knock on my bedroom door.
32:44Ava? Sweetheart, come out for dinner.
32:47I didn't answer. I just opened the door and let her take my hand as we walked to the dining
32:51room.
32:51Chloe was sitting in my usual seat, looking stiff and nervous.
32:54Dad and Liam were both putting food on her plate.
32:56I turned to look at my mother.
32:57Am I supposed to eat on the floor?
33:00Of course not. That's my fault. I forgot to have another chair brought in.
33:04Martha, get Ava a chair.
33:06Ava, I'm sorry. I didn't know this was your seat. I'll give it back to you.
33:12Ava, it's just a seat. Chloe just got here. Don't scare her.
33:15Fine. You can sit on my left. I'll sit between you two. Is that good enough?
33:19My parents didn't say anything and only watched my reaction.
33:22Wasn't that just silent approval?
33:24I gave a cold laugh in my heart. Really, so childish.
33:27This whole family acted like they were on stage, but their acting was awful.
33:31It killed my appetite.
33:32I took the chair from the housekeeper and dragged it straight to the far end of the table,
33:36away from all of them.
33:37Liam's hand paused while he was putting food on Chloe's plate.
33:40He looked like he wanted to say something several times, but in the end, he said nothing.
33:44The meal ended in that strange silence.
33:46But when I stood up to go upstairs, Dad stopped me again.
33:49Dad looked a little awkward and cleared his throat.
33:52Chloe is one year younger than you and Liam.
33:54You two are her older brother and sister, so you should give her a little more room.
33:58She just lost her parents, and she's been through a lot.
34:00We're her family now. We should take better care of her.
34:03That's right.
34:04I know you might not be used to having a sister yet, but look how sweet Chloe is.
34:08Spend more time with her, and you'll get close soon.
34:10They kept shooting looks at each other across the table.
34:12Clearly, neither of them wanted to be the first to say what came next.
34:15I was starting to lose patience.
34:17So?
34:17Mom froze at the question.
34:19Maybe she had never heard me speak to her in such a cold tone before,
34:22so she didn't know how to answer for a moment.
34:24My father took a sip of tea and smiled.
34:26Chloe just transferred here, and she isn't doing well physically or emotionally.
34:29We really don't feel comfortable in her alone,
34:30so how about you and Liam both repeat a grade and go to school with her?
34:33Liam already agreed. We're just waiting for you.
34:35I looked at Liam. He lowered his head and didn't dare look at me.
34:39Here we go again. It was the same in my last life.
34:42Liam and I were already in seventh grade.
34:44They made us go back to sixth grade to keep Chloe company.
34:48A year later, Caleb had already gotten close to Chloe.
34:53He transferred into our class, too, using the excuse that he wanted to take care of me.
34:59From then on, they put on little shows in class every day.
35:02They accused me of bullying Chloe and made the whole class shut me out.
35:06Great. Too bad I didn't want to play such a stupid game with little kids anymore.
35:10It was a waste of time.
35:12Does she need two servants just to go to school?
35:16Ava, what did you just say?
35:17I said, since Liam has already volunteered to serve her,
35:21there's no need to force me to, right?
35:23Ava, what are you saying? Serve her?
35:26We just want you to spend more time together and get close sooner.
35:29I don't have any duty to get close to her.
35:30Whoever wants to get close to her can go serve her.
35:33Then it's settled.
35:34You can go back to sixth grade, and I'll keep going to seventh.
35:37We stay out of each other's way.
35:39I turned and went upstairs.
35:41Behind me, they comforted Chloe, who was sobbing nonstop.
35:46After nine that night, Liam knocked on my door.
35:49Ava, are you asleep?
35:51What?
35:52Um, can you open the door?
35:55No.
35:55It went quiet outside for a long time.
35:57Just when I thought he had left, Liam's voice came again.
36:01Ava, you're upset, right?
36:02No.
36:03You are.
36:03Ava, is it because I only paid attention to Chloe today and ignored you?
36:07I was speechless.
36:08I really wasn't upset.
36:09I just didn't care.
36:10Dealing with them was so boring, it made me sick.
36:12The Ava Blackwood who would fall into deep depression just because she was ignored
36:16had already died alone in a psychiatric ward.
36:20I let out a breath.
36:22Really, no.
36:23Liam, you can do whatever you want.
36:25You can get close to whoever you want.
36:26I don't care.
36:27As long as you don't bother me.
36:28It went quiet outside the door again.
36:30After a while, his voice carried a trace of helplessness.
36:34Chloe really is cladine.
36:36Look at her.
36:36She's so thin and small, and she has such soft peeper and soft heart.
36:40I'm really afraid she'll be getting bullied.
36:42Ava, I'll go play stay with her for one year and years.
36:45Once you're used to it, I'll transfer back to be with you.
36:47Okay?
36:47Sure.
36:48The school was funded by your family anyway, so you could do whatever you wanted.
36:53Early the next morning, I carried my suitcase and school bag into the living room.
36:58Everyone froze again.
36:59I looked up and saw Caleb sitting right beside Chloe.
37:02Ava, I'm here to take you to school.
37:04I lowered my eyes and saw Chloe's hand holding his arm.
37:07You don't need to pick me up anymore.
37:09Of course, if you want to pick someone else up, suit yourself.
37:13Why?
37:13I lifted my chin and motioned for him to look at the suitcase behind me.
37:17Not only Caleb, but dad, mom, and Liam all looked confused.
37:20Liam stared hard at my suitcase with bloodshot eyes.
37:23Ava?
37:24What is that?
37:25Clothes and some daily necessities.
37:27And my jewelry.
37:28I forgot to tell you, starting today, I'm boarding at school.
37:32What?
37:32We really don't feel comfortable in her alone, so how about you and Liam both repeat a grade and go
37:36to school with her?
37:37Liam already agreed.
37:38We're just waiting for you.
37:39Does she need two servants just to go to school?
37:43Ava, what did you just say?
37:44I said, since Liam has already volunteered to serve her, there's no need to force me to, right?
37:50Ava, what are you saying?
37:51Serve her?
37:53We just want you to spend more time together and get close sooner.
37:56I don't have any duty to get close to her.
37:58Whoever wants to get close to her can go serve her.
38:01Then it's settled.
38:02You can go back to sixth grade, and I'll keep going to seventh.
38:05We stay out of each other's way.
38:07Ava, come on.
38:08Weren't you always saying you wanted a little sister?
38:11Sister?
38:12Chloe lifted her pale little face and called me in a sweet voice.
38:15I turned around and went back to my room.
38:17Everyone was left in the living room exchanging awkward looks.
38:20What's wrong with her now?
38:21Maybe she just isn't used to having a new sister at home yet.
38:24It's fine, I'll go talk to her later.
38:26Mom, Dad, is Ava not like me?
38:28No, no.
38:29Ava just has a temper, but she's not a bad girl.
38:32Don't cry, don't be sad.
38:33I'll talk to her for you later.
38:35Liam is still the sensible one.
38:37You have to take good care of your sister.
38:39Their laughter kept drifting into my room.
38:41Once again, I thought the soundproofing in this pack house was really terrible.
38:45I didn't like it.
38:46It was noisy as hell.
38:47I simply stood up and started checking my things.
38:50Too much time had passed, and I could no longer remember what I owned when I was 12.
38:54Now that I looked carefully, I was rich enough to shock even myself.
38:58No wonder Chloe loved stealing my things so much.
39:01Even the grown-up me couldn't help feeling a little jealous.
39:03I picked up the jewelry on my vanity and shoved it all into my school bag.
39:08If I didn't take it now, Chloe would soon ask for it in all kinds of ways.
39:11I looked at the high-quality bracelet in my hand and remembered how Chloe broke it in my
39:16last life.
39:17That was the first time I slapped her.
39:18She hid behind the door with red eyes, looking scared.
39:21Ava, I'm sorry.
39:22I really didn't mean to.
39:24I've never I'm sorry-ed anything like this before.
39:26I just wanted to have a look, and I dropped it.
39:29Then she burst into tears and brought my parents and Liam home.
39:32That was the first time I lost control and hit someone, and also the first time Dad grounded
39:36me.
39:37Chloe clung to Mom's leg, sobbing so hard she almost passed out.
39:40But she still found the time to look up and make a face.
39:43I pointed at her and tried to expose her.
39:45But the next second, Liam shoved me hard into my room.
39:48Ava, can't you have a little compassion?

44:04Look at her.

44:56I forgot to tell you, starting today, I'm boarding at school.
45:00What?
45:02I laughed until tears came out.
45:05The pain in my chest made my whole body shake.
45:08I grabbed a knife and rushed at Chloe.
45:13Everyone protected Chloe in a panic, comforting her and telling her not to cry.
45:17No one cared that what I was holding was only a plastic knife and fork for cutting the cake.
45:21My parents used my mental state as the reason and locked me in a psychiatric ward.
45:26I think Liam's kick had injured me.
45:28I coughed up blood day and night.
45:30Again and again, I begged the doctors to call my parents.
45:33But they never picked up once.
45:35Finally, after another round of shock treatment, I stopped breathing.
45:39And I saw the rumored soul shop.
45:41I used all my emotions, my ability to love, in exchange for one chance to be reborn.
45:47Mom held Chloe's hand and stood by the door, smiling as she waved at me.
45:51Ava, come on.
45:52Weren't you always saying you wanted a little sister?
45:55Sister?
45:56Chloe lifted her pale little face and called me in a sweet voice.

48:46Am I supposed to eat on the floor?
48:49Of course not.
48:50That's my fault.
48:51I forgot to have another chair brought in.
48:53Martha, get Ava a chair.
48:55Ava, I'm sorry.
48:56I didn't know this was your seat.
48:58I'll give it back to you.
49:01Ava, it's just a seat.
49:02Chloe just got here.
49:03Don't scare her.
49:04Fine.
49:05You can sit on my left.
49:06I'll sit between you two.
49:07Is that good enough?
49:08My parents didn't say anything and only watched my reaction.
49:11Wasn't that just silent approval?
49:13I gave a cold laugh in my heart.
49:14Really, so childish.
49:16This whole family acted like they were on stage, but their acting was awful.
49:20It killed my appetite.
49:21I took the chair from the housekeeper and dragged it straight to the far end of the table,
49:25away from all of them.
49:26Liam's hand paused while he was putting food on Chloe's plate.
49:29He looked like he wanted to say something several times, but in the end, he said nothing.
49:33The meal ended in that strange silence.
49:35But when I stood up to go upstairs, Dad stopped me again.
49:38Dad looked a little awkward and cleared his throat.
49:41Chloe is one year younger than you and Liam.
49:43You two are her older brother and sister, so you should give her a little more room.
49:46She just lost her parents, and she's been through a lot.
49:49We're her family now.
49:50We should take better care of her.
49:52That's right.
49:53I know you might not be used to having a sister yet, but look how sweet Chloe is.
49:57Spend more time with her, and you'll get close soon.
49:59They kept shooting looks at each other across the table.
50:01Clearly, neither of them wanted to be the first to say what came next.
50:04I was starting to lose patience.
50:06So?
50:06Mom froze at the question.
50:08Maybe she had never heard me speak to her in such a cold tone before, so she didn't know
50:12how to answer for a moment.
50:13My father took a sip of tea and smiled.
50:15Chloe just transferred here, and she isn't doing well physically or emotionally.
50:18We really don't feel comfortable in her alone.
50:19So how about you and Liam both repeat a grade and go to school with her?
50:22Liam already agreed.
50:23We're just waiting for you.
50:24I looked at Liam.
50:26He lowered his head and didn't dare look at me.
50:28Here we go again.
50:29It was the same in my last life.
50:31Liam and I were already in seventh grade.
50:33How about you and Liam both repeat a grade and go to school with her?
50:37A year later, Caleb had already gotten close to Chloe.
50:42He transferred into our class, too, using the excuse that he wanted to take care of me.
50:48From then on, they put on little shows in class every day.
50:51They accused me of bullying Chloe and made the whole class shut me out.
50:55Great.
50:55Too bad I didn't want to play such a stupid game with little kids anymore.
50:59It was a waste of time.
51:01Does she need two servants just to go to school?
51:05Ava, what did you just say?
51:06I said, since Liam has already volunteered to serve her, there's no need to force me to, right?
51:12Ava, what are you saying?
51:13Serve her?
51:14We just want you to spend more time together and get close sooner.
51:17I don't have any duty to get close to her.
51:20Whoever wants to get close to her can go serve her.
51:22Then it's settled.
51:23You can go back to sixth grade, and I'll keep going to seventh.
51:26We stay out of each other's way.
51:28I turned and went upstairs.
51:30Behind me, they comforted Chloe, who was sobbing nonstop.
51:35After nine that night, Liam knocked on my door.
51:37Ava, are you asleep?
51:39What?
51:41Um, can you open the door?
51:43No.
51:44It went quiet outside for a long time.
51:46Just when I thought he had left, Liam's voice came again.
51:49Ava, you're upset, right?
51:51No.
51:51You are.
51:52Ava, is it because I only paid attention to Chloe today and ignored you?
51:55I was speechless.
51:56I really wasn't upset.
51:58I just didn't care.
51:59Dealing with them was so boring, it made me sick.
52:01The Ava Blackwood who would fall into deep depression just because she was ignored had already died alone in a
52:06psychiatric ward.
52:09I let out a breath.
52:11Really, no.
52:12Liam, you can do whatever you want.
52:13You can get close to whoever you want.
52:15I don't care.
52:16As long as you don't bother me.
52:17It went quiet outside the door again.
52:19After a while, his voice carried a trace of helplessness.
52:22Ava, Chloe really is Chloe.
52:24Look at her.
52:25She's so thin and small, and she has such soft peeper and soft heart.
52:29I'm really afraid she'll be getting bullied.
52:31Ava, I'll go play stay with her for one year and year.
52:33Once you're used to it, I'll transfer back to be with you, okay?
52:36Sure.
52:37The school was funded by your family anyway, so you could do whatever you wanted.
52:42Early the next morning, I carried my suitcase and school bag into the living room.
52:46Everyone froze again.
52:48I looked up and saw Caleb sitting right beside Chloe.
52:51Ava, I'm here to take you to school.
52:53I lowered my eyes and saw Chloe's hand holding his arm.
52:56You don't need to pick me up anymore.
52:58Of course, if you want to pick someone else up, suit yourself.
53:02Why?
53:02I lifted my chin and motioned for him to look at the suitcase behind me.
53:06Not only Caleb, but Dad, Mom, and Liam all looked confused.
53:09Liam stared hard at my suitcase with bloodshot eyes.
53:12Ava, what is that?
53:14Clothes and some daily necessities.
53:16And my jewelry.
53:17I forgot to tell you, starting today, I'm boarding at school.
53:21What?
