"Thalia, the rest of your life should be spent in prison to atone for the life Claudia sacrificed!" said Melody.
Thalia backed away, covering her ears in agony as she screamed, "I don't want to hear it! You're lying! I don't want to listen! Stop it... Ah!"
She stumbled toward Lucas and shook his arm. "All of this must be fake, right? Say that you both are making this up to lie to me! Admit that Claudia has never told you this, so it must be fake! She was such a proud person, always showing off to me. She would've blabbered about it to everyone if it were true!"
Lucas dodged her hands like swatting away a fly. The woman in front of him was someone with the most vicious soul, so how could he treat her as normal?
"It was you who treated Claudia as your imaginary enemy. She has never wronged you. Even to her classmates, she always said you were cute and serious. Ask yourself, have you ever treated your sister fairly? Or was it because she excelled in everything, so you were always jealous of her?"
Thalia could not come up with an answer to the questions. When did their relationship gradually become irreparable? Or rather, when did her jealousy toward her sister start? Why did her impression of her sister turn into that of a malicious wrongdoer, when she remembered her holding her in her small arms and soothing her to sleep with stories from the television? Did none of that matter?
Was she really not her father's biological daughter, not her true sister? Then what had she been holding onto all these years? Thalia could not even figure out if she truly wanted Lucas or if it was just the lingering resentment from years ago, wanting to prove to Claudia that she could be with him too.
Watching Lucas and Melody stand resolute together, Thalia could not help but notice the little protective gestures Lucas had toward Melody, while she subconsciously put up a guard against her. 'Why do they get to be in a loving relationship while I have nothing? Why?' thought Thalia.

Amidst her swirling emotions, one question persisted in her mind-what had she been doing all these years?
Before she could contemplate it further, a swarm of police officers flooded the hospital corridor and apprehended her.
