The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2626

In the end, after some heartfelt conversations with her therapist, Victoria
abandoned the dark thoughts that had been circling her mind. After all, she had
her sister to look after, didn’t she? Even though Mara had been distant, it was all
because of her own mistakes,

wasn't it?

Was Mara actually starting to warm up to her again?

Mara flashed a cryptic smile and said, “Yeah, as long as you're eating, that's
good. Dad's already... well, you know. I don’t want to see you getting sick again.”
Victoria's face lit up with gratitude as she stepped forward and clasped Mara’s
fingers. “Mara, I'm so sorry for everything that happened. I know you've been
holding a grudge against me. I promise, from now on, I'll take good care of Dad.
Please, can we stop this

silence between us?”

Mara, who was inwardly reeling, didn't let it show. Instead, she broke character
and pulled Victoria into an embrace, patting her on the shoulder. “Victoria, I'm the
one who messed up before. We're blood, how could I ever stay mad at you? But
you need to keep up with your meds, or you won't get better.”

Victoria nodded earnestly. “I'll beat this illness, I'll get healthy, and then we'll
make the most of our lives together.”

“That's the spirit.”

Out of Victoria's sight, Mara’s smile twisted into something malevolent. She knew
Victoria was now one step closer to the edge.

It took over a month before Victoria returned to the campus. With such a tragedy
at home, her classmates were naturally concerned. She always responded with a
faint smile, unwilling to delve into the details, a stark contrast to her once bubbly
enthusiasm.

But they understood, all except when she was with Balfour, to whom she spoke
more freely.

“Balfour, thanks for caring. Now that Dad's gone, it's just Mara and me against
the world. Honestly, I never thought Mara could forgive me, after everything...
Anyway, let's leave the past in the past. Oh, and Mara asked about you. She
wanted me to tell you that we're all victims here, and she doesn't hold anything
against you.”

Balfour raised an eyebrow and asked, “She really forgave you?”

Victoria nodded. “Of course, she did. Why else would she send such a message
through me?”

Balfour's expression remained noncommittal.

“Alright, enough chit-chat. I need to get home. Mara’s learning to share the

chores now. You know, I used to handle all the weekend meals by myself, and
now it's just heartwarming to see her stepping up. I don’t know if this is good or
bad, but that's life, right? Day by day. Next time we visit Dad, we'll tell him with
smiles how well we've been doing.”

Balfour watched her walk away with a light heart.
