Third Year in the Psychiatric Hospital - Chapter 546

Chapter 546 Chapter 547 A Taste of Bitterness Chapter 547 A Taste of Bitterness What Lily didn't know was that life in the Saunders household was just as miserable for her and Owen Peggy was lazy and definitely unwilling to cook or care for the whole family. She didn't want to hire anyone either-afraid their family's dirty laundry would be aired out, and even more unwilling to spend the money. So she made use of what she had and put Lily to work around the house. But she was also afraid Lily would poison her like Elsie supposedly did.

That's why, every time they ate, Peggy would scoop her food into Lily and Owen's bowls, pouring the sauce from every dish into their portions and mixing it all up. If there was poison, at least they'd all go down together. Lily found it disgusting. Whenever she refused to eat, Peggy would force-feed her with a spoon. Owen and Lily were both miserable, but they had no way to fight back. Seeing the two of them suffering actually made Yunice feel pretty pleased. She said leisurely, "Before Elsie passed, what did she say to you?" Lily's eyes were cold as she shot Yunice a sidelong glance.

"She's already gone, and you still won't let it go." Yunice replied, "Elsie may be dead, but my brother is still alive." She hadn't come for Lily or Owen-she came for Oscar. Her eyes swept over the attic of the Saunders home, and she said softly. "This place is barely recognizable anymore. It doesn't even look a bit like it used to. When I walked in just now, I couldn't even tell what happened to the swing in the yard. And you, Lily- you must've forgotten, haven't you?

Over twenty years ago, you were sitting on that swing, and my brother was behind you, pushing." A faint shadow of time passed over Lily and Owen's faces. It was true-if she hadn't been reminded, who would've remembered something from over twenty years ago? It felt so far away that Lily had nearly forgotten it herself. Her heart, hardened for two decades, suddenly softened with a pang of sourness at the memory of those warm days in the Saunders home. Compared to then... life now was unbearably hard. Yunice seemed to read her mind and sneered.

"Is it harder than back in the mountains?" Lily was startled and looked at Yunice with a complicated expression. Yunice scoffed. "Some people reflect on the past with gratitude. Others don't know how good they had it The difference between people really is something" If Lily had returned to the Saunders family and managed things fairly-guided the kids to get along properly-things wouldn't have turned out like this. Yunice raised her eyes again. "I didn't come here to reminisce. If you won't help Oscar, I will." 1/3 108 Chapter 547 A Taste of Bitterness Then she turned to Owen.
