Chapter 1043


    Hannah’s words shocked Heather as it was the first time Hannah had asked back for something she


    had taken.


    ‘Hannah never dared to im anything since she was young. When did she be daring enough to


    demand things from me? Is this ring—no, is that man so important to her?’


    Thinking so, Heather became thoughtful and diverted her gaze from the ring to her sister. “What did


    you say? Repeat it since I didn’t hear you correctly.”


    From Heather’s demeanor, Hannah knew her sister had gotten mad, and she should not repeat it. The


    pain in her shoulder also reminded her not to do it.


    However, when she saw the ring, Hannah thought about Ralph’s face and what he said about living


    happily ever after with her. It was the first time she had wanted so much to spend the rest of her life


    with someone.


    ‘Since I’vee this far, there’s no use being afraid. Can being afraid make a difference?’


    She bit her lip and said weakly yet firmly, “Heather, I know you’re upset, and I shouldn’t be saying this.


    However, I’ve never asked you for anything, talked back to you, or defied you all my life. I don’t ask for

    anything else, but that ring is mine.


    “He…gave it to me. I hope you can return it to me. I’m not asking much, and I’ll be…content if I have


    something that belongs to me and that I can keep with me.”


    ‘Will I be content? I want a lot more, but I know it’s impossible. That being the case, won’t it be nice if I


    have something to console myself with?’ Thinking so, Hannah treasured the ring even more.


    Heather snorted twice. “Oh, yeah? Something that belongs to you?”


    Her face betrayed no emotion, but she tightened her grip on the ring. Hannah had no idea that her


    confession had enraged Heather.


    To Heather, her twin sister was a useless substitute who could only offer asional help. She thought


    Hannah should not have a sense of self as she could not do anything.


    ‘The sole reason she still lives in this world is that I need her. If that’s the case, she shouldn’t have a


    sense of self, let alone want to own things.’


    “Hannah Riggs!” Heather got up and emphasized every syble of her sister’s name, staring down at


    her.


    Kneeling on the floor, Hannah looked smallpared to the tall Heather.


    Like a queen, Heather looked askance at Hannah and said coldly, “Have I been so nice to you and


    given you so much freedom that you’ve forgotten who you are? How dare you ask me for anything?


    ‘Things that belong to you?’


    “Who the f*ck are you to own things? What f*cking things belong to you? Don’t forget that you’re just


    my shadow—a shadow doesn’t deserve to own anything!” As Heather spoke, the ring started bending


    due to her grip.


    “No!”


    Hannah noticed her beloved ring bing deformed, so she lunged over and held Heather’s arm in


    anguish. “Please don’t do it, Heather! I’ll do anything you say, and I’ll go nowhere. I-I won’t see him


    again. I just want the ring. Please give it to me. Please! I apologize to you. I apologize!”
