He Gave My Heart to My Sister novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3

“Madilynn, my wounds need to heal. So, you go make some soup!”

Melissa ordered someone to pull me up from the bed.

I nodded because I remembered what happened last time I said no to Melissa.

They forced me to my knees on a floor littered with broken glass and made me bow and apologize to her all night long.

I scrambled up in a sorry state and rushed straight into the kitchen.

The first time, Melissa slapped me hard across the face. It burned like fire spreading across my

skin.

“Are you trying to scald me alive?”

The second time, she smashed a spoon against my forehead, making it bleed.

“Do you want to choke me with salt?”

The third time, she purposely spilled chicken soup on her own wrist and let out this high–pitched

scream.

Jettson rushed over without thinking twice, pulled her into his arms gently, and protected her like a shield.

Melissa’s eyes were red, and her face looked so hurt. “Madilynn… do you really hate me that much? If I’m bothering you this badly, I can just leave… Why do you have to make it so hard for me?”

“Jett, don’t blame Madilynn. She’s probably still upset because I took her heart. It makes sense for her to hit and yell at me. As long as she can feel better…”

Jettson shot me a fierce look, his voice icy enough to chill my bones. “If you love wasting food so much, then you’re not eating tonight!”

That night, as expected, the kitchen was empty.

I licked my dry lips and stuck my head under the sink to catch some tap water in my hands, gulping it down desperately.

The moment the cold water slid down my throat, a sharp pain pierced my heart.

I doubled over and started coughing violently and painfully until blood pooled on the floor.

I cleaned up the blood and went back to lie down in the utility room.

When I woke up again, Jettson was there, gently wiping away the cold sweat from my forehead with a worried look on his face.

“Why didn’t you tell me you

you?

“Does it still hurt?”

He carefully put a Band–Aid on the cut on my forehead and blew softly on it.

His tone was sweet and caring now–as if he wasn’t the same guy who punished me last night.

Just then, the housekeeper rushed in, looking really worried.

“Mr. Ackrigg, Ms. Baughen isn’t feeling well. Can you please go check on her right away?”

Jettson didn’t think twice. He shook off my hand and took off running.

I let out a little laugh to myself. What was I even expecting?

Before long, the door swung open with a loud bang.

Jettson grabbed me by the neck tightly, his voice icy as he shouted, “Did you post that online?

“You’re spreading rumors that Missy seduced her own brother–in–law! And you even shared photos of us online! What are you trying to do? Do you hate her that much?”

I just didn’t have it in me to argue back. I closed my eyes and waited for everything to end.

Honestly, guilty or not, I’d be blamed either way.

But then he let go of me. His tone changed unexpectedly. It softened a bit and had this hint of panic. “Missy just had a heart transplant. She can’t handle any stress right now. Go apologize to her immediately, and we’ll put this behind us.”

I replied calmly, “Okay.”

He froze for a moment. There was something in his eyes that I couldn’t quite figure out.

In the past, I would’ve definitely started yelling back at him.
