Chapter 411 - FOUR YEARS OLD
It had been more than five years since Hailee had last seen her.
But, that didn\'t mean Hailee thought about her, it couldn\'t happen because it would just be a waste of time.
Hailee had just remembered herself after the past few days and it was her curiosity that prompted her to come back to this place and check how she was even now.
Hailee didn\'t expect her to be okay, because there was no way anyone in their right mind would be fine living in an environment like this and be surrounded by people who have lost their sense of the real world.
At least, Hailee wanted to know what she looked like now.
When Hailee arrived, she was greeted by someone wearing a light blue uniform, one of the nurses there.
She recognized Hailee easily and immediately led her to meet the woman in question.
"She looks a lot calmer now… the first two months she\'s been here, she looked so messed up," the nurse told Hailee without even being asked. "Now, she prefers to sit alone contemplating."
Hailee listened to what the nurse said quietly, while looking around, where she could see several people accompanied by a nurse or just sitting on chairs at the end of the corridor.
"Maybe, if you take her to a bigger hospital, then she will recover soon, the equipment and treatment here are limited." The nurse continued to speak rapidly, not even paying attention to whether Hailee was listening to her words or not.
They passed one corridor after another.
"Why don\'t you take her to a better hospital?" she asked. For someone like Hailee Tordoff, of course, it was nothing.
"Because I don\'t want to waste my money," Hailee answered softly, but sounded clear enough.
This of course took the nurse by surprise and when she finally looked at Hailee, the look in Mrs. Tordoff\'s eyes immediately made her understand that she had said too much.
They then walked into a room and the nurse showed a woman sitting on the floor. She was staring at the window beside her, leaning her head against the green wall where the paint was almost peeling off.
In front of Hailee, her adoptive sister was sitting pensively, muttering something while drawing circles on the floor with her index finger.
"Aileen," Hailee called. This was the first time she had reunited with Aileen.
Although Hailee said she would visit her the last time she took Aileen to this place, she herself did not expect that the break would stretch this long.
Well, not that Hailee regretted it, she just didn\'t expect time to go by so fast.
And apparently, Aileen\'s time was very hard, because she didn\'t look the same as before.
It took Hailee a while to point out the similarities between this woman in front of her and Aileen who had always been so arrogant and stubborn.
Her hair that used to look well groomed and so shiny now looked like a bird\'s nest on top of her head.
Someone had given her a bad haircut, because they only prioritized practicality rather than making Aileen look beautiful, because her once long hair was now loose, and was even cut short.
But, it seemed that Aileen didn\'t care about all that at all. Had she been her haughty old self, she would have been mad furious and fired the man who had cut her hair instantly.
"Aileen." Hailee called her adopted sister again, but there was no response from her. Then Hailee reached out her hand toward Aileen and shook her shoulder.
Only then did she distract herself from whatever imagination that was running through her mind at the moment.
Her droopy eyes coupled with dark bags, were focused on Hailee now. Aileen\'s skin, which once looked brilliant, was now dry and unkempt. She was like someone who hadn\'t touched water in days.
"You remember me?" Hailee asked, as she smiled sweetly at her.
Aileen blinked a few times, as if wanting to capture the figure in front of her better, with her brow furrowed.
"Hailee…" she mumbled in a low voice.
On the other hand, Hailee was quite surprised to find that Aileen recognized her, but then, a smile bloomed on her lips again.
"Yes, I\'m Hailee."
Aileen shook her head in disbelief. She then said, "No way, I already killed Hailee. I\'ve killed her many times."
Okay, Hailee didn\'t expect that answer at all.
"I killed her many times, you can\'t be her…" it seemed that hatred had clouded Aileen\'s senses completely. She imagined that she had killed her sister many times in her mind.
But, sadly, all of that was just a fantasy and would never come true in her life.
"Then who else did you kill besides Hailee?" Hailee asked, following Aileen\'s way of thinking, but her voice sounded colder than usual and she no longer smiled when she heard Aileen\'s answer.
"I killed Hailee, her mother, her father, her child, her husband and everyone who helped her, everyone around her as well as her naughty cousin… what\'s her name again?" Aileen forgot Zia\'s name, therefore, Hailee helped her to remember.
"Zia."
"Yes, Zia, that b*tch. Also Giana. That woman revealed a video of me with her ex-husband to the public."
Hailee knew what video Aileen meant, because the news had become a trending topic, she didn\'t expect Aileen to still remember it.
"Aileen." It wasn\'t clear what was going through Hailee\'s mind when she leaned in to whisper softly to Aileen. "I\'m not dead. I put you in this place, look around you."
Aileen then followed Hailee\'s gaze and saw the shabby and untidy place she had been in all this time, then turned her attention to Hailee.
"You deserve all of this. You\'ll rot here."
And that was when Aileen screamed very loudly, banging her head against the wall and making several guards come to calm her down.
Meanwhile, Hailee rose to her feet, watching every move Aileen made, hearing her heart-rending screams as well as her attempts to fight the people who gave her the sedatives.
Hailee then asked herself; did she regret having made Aileen\'s life like this? Did she feel guilty?
However, her answer was quite surprising to Hailee, because she didn\'t feel guilty at all. She did not regret this decision.
Rather, what was on her mind now as she stepped out was; what gift she must prepare for her little daughter whose birthday was in two weeks.
