Chapter 5 Self-Indulgent Girl with A Babyish Voice

• Both Reilly and Yael were astonished when they heard it. Reilly is so exceptional. Am… Am I worthy to have feelings for her? Yael quickly waved and said, "No, no, no... I'm... I'm..."
• "He's my friend," Reilly said indifferently. "Yael, go on with your work." Yael didn't dare to stay any longer after receiving Reilly's instruction. As he left the ward, his face was flushed, and he felt his ears burning. He bumped into a girl in a princess skirt who hurriedly ran in his direction.
• The girl initially turned to look at him in disgust, but her expression softened when she saw his handsome and charming face. "You..." Before she could finish, Yael walked away coldly. The girl bit her lip, turned around, and opened the door to the ward.
• "Dad... Dad, how are you feeling..." Rita Schulze's sobs filled the entire ward. "You scared me to death!" Reilly frowned slightly and said, "Miss, the patient just woke up and needs some peace." Rita threw herself at Ted and ignored Reilly. Bianca pulled Rita away with a slightly annoyed expression. "Rita, your father just woke up. He's fine. Don't cry."
• "Okay, I won't cry." Rita nodded. "If I cry, Daddy and Mommy will get upset. But you love me so much, and I'm a crybaby. I've never encountered such a situation, so I'm scared." Reilly looked at Rita, who was around her age but spoke in a babyish voice. It gave Reilly goosebumps, and she felt uncomfortable. Hence, she subconsciously retched out loud. "Blech!"
• "Who are you?" Rita heard it and turned around with an unfriendly expression. "You don't have to stay in the ward, doctor. I want to speak to my mommy and daddy. You're an outsider. Who are you to listen in on our conversation?" Rita spoke in a babyish voice and was self-indulgent. Reilly wanted to give her a kick.
• "Rita, this is your younger sister," Ted spoke seriously as he lay on the hospital bed when he heard it. "You're not allowed to speak to her like that."
• "My younger... sister? Dad, are you kidding?" Upon hearing this, Rita was shocked. "Dad, I understand if she cured you. Just give her money and send her away. Don't tell me you want to make her your goddaughter?" As Rita spoke, she held Ted's hand and shook it. "You have me. Isn't that enough?"
• "Are you blind? Can't you see the IV tube in his hand?" Reilly stepped forward to stop Rita. "What's wrong with you? You call him 'Daddy,' but you're being so rough." Reilly felt that she was already being very polite. After all, she had heard all kinds of offensive language in prison daily.
• "Daddy, she's being mean to me! Boo-hoo..." When Rita heard Reilly speak in such a tone, she instantly burst into tears. "I don't want her to be my younger sister. Make her go away!" Reilly almost rolled her eyes at his outburst.
• At this moment, Bianca also grabbed Rita's hand. "Rita, stop messing around. Reilly is our long-lost biological daughter. You can't stop her from being your sister just because you say so. Moreover, she saved your father's life. She's a doctor, and you should listen to what she says. Have you forgotten how your father and I raised you by acting like this?"
• Rita immediately stopped crying. She undoubtedly feared her prestigious mother the most in the Schulze family. Rita knew she was adopted, but the Schulze family had shown her the care she deserved throughout the years, especially her father. Although her mother loved her as well, she could sense that her mother was often critical of her.
• However, this didn't prevent her from receiving praise and admiration from others due to her status as the wealthiest man's daughter. Consequently, she became arrogant and discovered that her parents would show her more love when she acted that way. But today, this tactic didn't work, and it was because of the 'younger sister' standing before her.
• But... although Mom gave birth back then, didn't the child pass away? How could she suddenly appear? Rita bit her lip, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and said, "Mommy, I'm not denying my sister's existence."
• "You and Dad have been searching for her all these years, and I'm also anxious for you to find her. But you know many impostors are out there, don't you?" Rita analyzed everything thoroughly. "There's nothing wrong with thanking the doctor, but who knows if she cured Dad for you to deliberately let down your guard so she can return to the Schulze family?" At first glance, it seemed like she was considering her parents' well-being. In reality, she simply didn't want Reilly to return to the Schulze family.
• "So, may I ask, how did I take advantage of this situation? Did I know that your dad would fall ill?" Reilly naturally understood Rita's ulterior motives. "Or am I a fortune teller? Did I predict it and wait at the hospital? I can tell with one glance that you're from a distinguished family. You have such a simple mentality."
• Rita couldn't answer the first two questions but understood the last statement. Reilly was calling her foolish. "How dare you insult me?!" Rita lost her temper. She stood up and was about to hit Reilly.
• "Stop! You're becoming more and more unruly." Bianca stopped her. "Your father and I have confirmed it. Reilly is our daughter." There was a hint of disgust in Bianca's eyes. "Rita, we can send you abroad if you can't accept it. Although you were adopted, you're already a part of the Schulze family. But if you can't accept it, we can wait for you to come to terms with it before bringing you back."
• Rita was shocked. Are they trying to drive me away?! How... how can this be?! "I... Mommy, that's not what I meant! Of course, I welcome my younger sister. I'm just afraid that you'll feel heartbroken again. Since she's back, I'll take good care of her." Reilly experienced firsthand how quickly things could change.
• "In that case, take Reilly home. I'll stay here with your father," Bianca said. Reilly looked at her father lying weakly on the bed and handed her mother a prescription. She placed it in Bianca's palm and whispered in her mother's ear. Rita was about to lose her temper again when she saw how close her new sister and mother looked, but she had to pretend to be sensible and gentle.
• On the way home, the two of them remained silent. When they arrived at Schulze Residence, Rita clenched her fists. She pointed to the most dilapidated guest room in the corner. "That's your room."
• "Oh." Reilly didn't believe Rita. "Which is yours?"
• "Over there, the one on the second floor." Rita raised her chin proudly. "My room is the biggest and most luxurious. Daddy and Mommy gave it to me. What's wrong? You..."
• 'Bang!' Before she could finish, she heard the sound of the door closing. Rita watched helplessly as Reilly took over her bedroom, and she was filled with anger! She sprinted upstairs and banged on the door.
• Seconds later, the door opened. "I told you. This isn't your room..." Before she could finish, she was hit in the face with a bedsheet and duvet. Before the door closed, a faint voice rang. "Those are dirty because someone else has used it."
