"When are you going to stop this nonsense?" Adah's voice was sharp and icy, like a blade plunging straight into Claire's heart.
"Ever since you cback, this house has known no peace. We all have to tiptoe around you. You've thrown your tantrums-what more do you want? Aren't you supposed to be gone? If you want to die, do it yourself, but don't drag us down with you. We owe you nothing." Each word was like a poisoned arrow, piercing Claire's already shattered soul.
Claire's body went rigid. She looked at Adah, the madness in her eyes slowly replaced by a hollow despair. Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but no words cout.
At that moment, she felt as though she had fallen into an abyss of darkness, abandoned by the world.

Claire's body deflated like a punctured balloon, the world spinning around her. Her vision blurred as everything started to fade.
Finally, she could no longer hold on. Her eyelids fluttered shut, and she slipped into unconsciousness.
Ethan let out a startled cry, rushing to scoop Claire into his arms.
May glanced at Claire's pallid face and her bleeding, severed finger, her heart aching unbearably.
"Sir, we must get Miss Claire to the hospital," she urged, picking up the severed finger and clutching it tightly. Ethan, with no tto waste, held Claire close and hurried towards the door.
Nathan watched, scoffing, "Why take her to a hospital? Just leave her to fend for herself. Ungrateful as she is, she deserves whatever happens." Adah snapped out of her daze, the realization of her harsh words hitting her with regret. How could she have been so heartless to Claire? Hearing Nathan's spiteful words, fury ignited within her like a lit fuse. She exploded.
"Nathan, you bastard!" Adah screamed, storming up to Nathan and slapping him hard across the face.
The slap was even more forceful than the one she had given Claire earlier.
Nathan stood there, stunned, eyes wide. "What's your problem now?" "If you hadn't hit Claire, none of this would have happened!" Adah's voice broke with a sob, tears streaming down her face.
"Didn't see you stoppingwhen I hit her," Nathan shot back angrily.
Adah's tears flowed more freely, her legs giving way as she sank to the floor, burying her head in her hands, consumed by guilt.

The hospital lights shone brightly against the night sky.
Ethan rushed into the emergency room with Claire in his arms. Doctors them, a quickly surrounded them, placing Claire on a stretcher and beginning their urgent work. Ethan sat on a cold seat outside the emergency room, feeling as though a giant boulder was crushing his chest, making it hard to breathe.
His eyes were fixed on the closed emergency room door, anxiety gnawing at him.
May stood nearby, her face etched with worry. She glanced at Etham from tto time, seeming to want to say something but unsure how to begin.
Finally, Ethan couldn't hold back any longer. He looked up at May, hism at voice hoarse. May, what happened? How did Claire end up like this?"
