- “Quintin, don’t be afraid, it’s me, Susan, I’m here.”
- He bit down hard on my shoulder, and a hidden blade sliced open my abdomen. I winced, but didn’t let go.
- く
- His body was covered in wounds, but I
- smelled a cloying sweetness, and the cuts
- from the ropes were surprisingly clean.
- This was Quintin’s ninety–nine–times game. After Susan’s death, he developed severe PTSD. Every time he had an episode, he would uncontrollably hurt himself; only my
- impersonation of my sister could alleviate it.
- But I, a professional, didn’t notice a thing. Quintin, the great Quintin, you really went all
- out.
- To punish me, you pretended to have a
- mental illness for five years.
- “Sarah, I’m sorry, I had another episode.”
- “It’s my fault again.”
- Quintin’s concerned words broke through my
- thoughts. I forced a smile and gently
- <
- comforted him.
- “I’m okay, as long as you’re alright.”
- Jake helped Quintin up, his voice dripping
- with sarcasm.
- “He’s not alright, Quintin’s way worse this
- time! You should have said something sooner.
- If you hadn’t volunteered to play his sister, he
- might have recovered by now.”
- “Jake, shut up!”
- Quintin’s sharp rebuke silenced him.
- “Sarah, I’m sorry. Jake just worries too much. Don’t blame him.”
- His expression was serious and affectionate,
- but I felt a chill run down my spine.
- To avoid revealing my deception, I urged Jake
- to take Quintin to his room to treat his
- wounds, then skillfully found the first aid kit in
- 1
- <
- the living room.
- But the alcohol stung unusually badly this time, and I had to bite down on a gauze pad.
- I vaguely heard their hushed conversation. “Quintin, your acting was amazing. You saw
- Sarah’s face, right? She looked much more heartbroken than last time.”
- “And I added something to her first–aid kit.
- It’ll make her suffer.‘
- “Also, I got you a gift, you’ll love it!”
- I heard Quintin chuckle happily.
- “You know me best. I’m sure I’ll love
- whatever you got me!”
- “Oh, you mentioned using the Qin family
- logistics company to ship something. I already arranged it.”
- Hearing this, I dropped the medicine, leaving
- く
- my wound exposed, and went into the guest
- room.
- Quintin was sharp. If I didn’t leave something
- behind, he’d notice something was off. Quintin always felt guilty and remorseful after
- his episodes, so he insisted I stay at his
- house until he recovered.
- I used to love staying at his house,
- recovering. I got to see him every day, and
- being around him made me feel like he cared for
