Soon, all the noodles at home were eaten. I don’t know if my sister was worried about Derek not eating enough or if she was afraid of being
beaten.

Later, she simply stopped eating herself, only cooking for Derek.
She was dizzy with hunger every day, but of course, she couldn’t escape being beaten.
There was less and less food at home, and Derek became increasingly irritable.
In the surveillance, every time I opened it, Lily was always enduring his fists and kicks.
I don’t know if it was because I had seen it too many times, but my heart felt no ripples at all.
You see, a person’s kindness towards her will eventually be exhausted.
I wonder when Lily will wake up.
When Lily called my phone again, I simply turned it off.
The sister who used to care about her and want the best for her was dead. Now we were strangers.
I would no longer be moved by her.

I had a good, comfortable sleep.
When I got hungry, not wanting to move, I just prepared a delicious meal and enjoyed this wonderful, comfortable time.
As 1 started eating, I turned on my phone and saw the familiar missed call.
I pressed the delete key directly.
Then I took out my favorite novel and TV series, eating while watching.
After I finished eating, I opened the surveillance footage again.
I thought I would see the familiar fighting scene.
But when I saw the scene inside, I was frozen in place, a chill running up my spine.
The food I had just eaten almost came back up.
After dry heaving a couple of times, I quickly closed the surveillance.
But the images I had seen kept lingering in my mind.
In the video, Lily only had one hand left, her entire other arm was gone,
Blood was gushing out, and most of her body was stained red.

Thinking of this scene, I couldn’t stop shivering.
Although I knew that under natural disasters and calamities, the killing between people was inevitable, the real impact of the scene was still
unbearable.
Lily kept talking about true love every day, but her so–called pathological love was really hard to agree with.
I turned off the surveillance, deciding not to watch anymore.
