Chapter 230 - Ch. 230 The Hurtful Words

'Serve you right.' She could hear a whisper inside her head blaming her.

'See what have you done?' Roxy didn't know who planted the seed of guilt in her heart, but the seed grew at rapid speed until it devoured her soul.

'It's your fault. You don't even care about her disappointed expression.'

'You said you love her, but you never did. Your selfishness has won and proved that you never loved her.'

Roxy was having trouble breathing and didn't dare to set foot in the airport. The airport was the last place she saw Kaylee's face. And even then, it wasn't her sister's cheerful face nor her angel-like laughing voice.

Every time she imagined an airport, she couldn't help but remember her last conversation with Kaylee. If she saw the airplane symbol anywhere, her breath would become labored, and the image of her sister's disappointed face filled her head.

Nevertheless… she still managed to survive. Roxy still has unyielding willpower to live until…

"Roxy? You are Roxy, right?" inquired her mother when her parents came to Spain to pick up their remaining child.

Right now, Roxy's appearance was disheveled, and her hair was loose without ever being combed. Her long hair covered most of her face so people couldn't see her face.

Even her father still thinks she was Kaylee, especially now that Roxy was not wearing any make-up.

But as usual… her mother immediately recognized her even though she looked like a dead person.

"Roxy? What do you mean? Isn't she Kaylee?" her father was confused by his wife, who called their youngest daughter by the name of their eldest child.

Without answering her confusion, Britney walked quickly towards the lifeless-like girl who was sitting on the floor leaning against the wall.

Britney brushed away her daughter's hair and cupped Roxy's cheeks with trembling hands.

"You are Roxy. If you are here, where's your sister? Where's Kaylee?"

Roxy raised her gaze, and her pair of brown eyes met her mother's black eyes. She could see her mother's gaze filled with renewed hope and could not wait for the good news.

It felt like her mother's gaze could squeeze her heart, making it ache and cause tears to gather in her eyes.

Roxy burst into tears for the first time since she heard the news of her sister's death.

"I… I'm sorry," Roxy muttered in a very soft and trembling voice. Her lips trembled violently, and she felt her hands were cold because she didn't turn on the heater and neither ate nor drank. "I'm sorry," she repeated her words making Britney's eyes moisten.

"What do you mean you're sorry? Where is she? Isn't this all just your usual prank?" Britney's voice started to tremble, and her hands gripped her daughter's shoulders so tightly that Roxy groaned in pain.

Nevertheless, the pain in her shoulder was not as painful as her heartache, which was now d with guilt.

"You said you were going home alone, and now you're here. Doesn't that mean Kaylee is still here too? Huh? Answer me! Answer me, Roxy!" Britney was getting out of control and was shaking her daughter's shoulders as if she was pulling something thick out of a bottle.

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry." as if she had just learned to speak and only knew those words, Roxy said it a hundred times as if she was reciting an incantation.

Hades III immediately went to his wife and hugged her from behind to pull her back.

"Calm down. Pierre, what happened?"

Pierre sighed sadly and glanced at his niece with concern. Then he looked at his brother guiltily for failing to protect his daughter.

"The truth is…." Pierre then told what happened to the sisters and told them about their switching places making Hades III and Britney feel like they had stopped breathing.

"So… the one on the plane is… my Kaylee?" asked Britney in a muffled sob. "My poor baby was on that plane?? How? Why?" as if she closed herself off to this world, Britney could only see a conclusion.

She lost her youngest daughter because of Roxanne.

"It's you!" Britney suddenly pointed her index finger at Roxy who was still crying on the floor making Pierre and Hades III gasped in shock. "IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU!!"

"Britney! It's not her fault," explained Pierre and Hades III at the same time, but at this time Britney's condition was filled with so much anger that she couldn't even hear what the two men were saying.

Britney marched back to her crying daughter and shook her back like Roxy was a puppet doll. "Give me back my daughter to me, you evil girl! How could you do this to your sister!? Huh! Why? Tell me why?" Britney didn't get the answer because Roxy's cries grew louder and her lips trembled too much to form a word.

"Britney, calm down." Mr. Zouch tried to calm his wife down by pulling her away from his daughter, but Britney's wrath was so big that she couldn't move.

He could have pulled his wife by force, but he didn't want to hurt her.

"Because of you, I lost my daughter! Why do you have to teach her to switch places? Huh?" Britney was relentless demanding answers from Roxy made Roxy's feelings of guilt grow so much that she couldn't stop it.

"I regret that I brought you into this world!"

Roxy gasped at that. As if a volcano had exploded and she was at the foot of the mountain, Roxy felt like she didn't know what to do.

Even if she wanted to run, she wouldn't have time. The molten lava must have hit her body, and she would have died.

That's how she felt right now. Roxy thought she was already dead when she heard the most hurtful words from her mother's mouth.

Her eyes were blank, and she felt like she had stopped breathing. She even felt that someone had hit the back of her head, making her entire vision darken.

She couldn't see nor feel, but she could still hear.

"Britney! You've gone too far! Why did you…" and she didn't hear the rest of her father's words because that's when she blackened out.
