Wendy was not surprised by Windy's statement. Back in the mental hospital, she had already heard Windy’s voice from those useless doctors’ phones.
“So what?” Wendy said calmly. “Windy, you like Ron, right? But unfortunately, we’re still not divorced.”
Wendy was still in great pain, but she didn’t back down. So, she jabbed Windy where it hurt most.
Windy was so angry that her eyes went wide. But then, as if she remembered something, a smile appeared on her face again.
“Yes, I like him. Wendy, if you don’t divorce him, I have planned hundreds ways to ruin you. Today will be one of them,” said the younger twin.
Before Wendy could understand what Windy meant, she was suddenly pushed hard. Her body rolled straight down the snowy mountain.
Ron came back with the gloves. When he saw this scene, his heart almost stopped. His eyes instinctively looked toward Wendy and his body moved in her direction.
A flash of jealousy passed through Windy’s eyes. Suddenly, she screamed loudly.
“Ronnie!! I’m here!!”
Ron didn’t have time to think.
He hesitated for only one second, then turned around towards Windy's direction instead. She was about to fall down the mountain too.
Wendy’s was silent in shock. Ron's wife was at the brink of death but he chose Windy instead.
Her heart felt completely shattered as her body slowly froze in the snow. It was as if all her love disappeared in an instant.

Before her eyes opened, the strong smell of disinfectant filled her nose firsthand. Upon waking up, Wendy felt her hand being tightly held.
She looked over, and it was Ron... the very man who had abandoned her. This time though, Ron looked terrible. Dark circles were under his eyes, and his eyes were red.
When Ron saw her wake up, his eyes lit up. He had never been this scared in his life.
When Wendy was sent to the hospital, her eyes were closed, and colors were drained from her face. No matter how much he called her name, she didn’t respond.
Wendy was treated in the emergency room for a while. During the time, Ron had waited outside. Due to physical and mental assessment on Wendy, the doctor almost gave her a critical condition notice.
Now, seeing Wendy alive, Ron couldn’t stop his tears. “Wen… you’re finally awake. I was really scared to death. I didn’t mean to leave you. It was just too urgent, and Winny once saved my life…”
Those familiar excuses again. Wendy felt a slight pain in her chest, mixed with a new kind of deep irritation.
She couldn’t stand it anymore and interrupted him. “So what? I don’t want to know your story with her. Whatever happened between you two has nothing to do with me.”
Wendy's words stunned Ron. He never expected her to react like that. Feeling uneasy, he tried to hold her hand.
But then, Ron's assistant whispered, “Mr. Lugner, something happened to Ms. Windy…”
After hearing that, that familiar guilty look appeared on Ron’s face again. “I’ll be right back, okay Wen?”
Wendy watched Ron left in hurry. Her fingers unconsciously tightened around the blanket. Her breathing got a pace faster.
Before she could rest for long, Ron’s bodyguards suddenly appear in the room and forcibly took her to the Blooms’ estate.
They were rough, and her fair arms were pulled until they turned red. Ron was clearly angry at Wendy, but when he saw her frown in pain, his anger turned into pity.
At that moment, Windy spoke with a fake sadness, “Big sister, I know you hate me for taking Mom and Dad’s love from you. But why are you so cruel to curse me?”
