My Parents Neglected Me Until I Died Novel by yueji

When Quinn Ortega arrived, Yolanda Robinson, supported by Duncan Shepard, was exiting the farewell hall.Yolanda looked pale and her eyes were swollen from crying after just a few days.I moved closer to her, reaching out to wipe her tears, but my fingers passed through her face, leaving nothing behind. Seeing Quinn Ortega, Yolanda’s eyes were filled with hatred. “What are you doing here? Get out!””Yolanda Robinson, don’t act like this,” Duncan Shepard said, trying to hold Yolanda back.Yolanda shook off Duncan’s hand and yelled, “Did you tell him? What right does he have to be here? He’s only disturbing Nicole’s peace.”

My name seemed to trigger something in Quinn Ortega. He looked around desperately, “Where is Nicole Hayward? Where is she?”As Yolanda was about to curse again, a staff member wheeled in a hearse.Quinn Ortega stopped him, startled the staff member, and without regard, he opened the casket.

Even though I was me**y prepared, seeing my own scarred face still shocked me.The staff had clearly made an effort to smooth out my features, trying to make me look as presentable as possible.Quinn Ortega glanced briefly and then turned away, dismissively saying, “Let her be. It’s as if she’s settled her debts.”

“Quinn Ortega, you’re inhuman!” Yolanda Robinson pushed Quinn Ortega away, shouting fiercely, “If I had known you were such a person, Nicole shouldn’t have saved you from the fire. You didn’t deserve her help or her love.”

Quinn Ortega looked confused. “I understand you’re upset and that you’re Duncan Shepard’s girlfriend, but you should have limits to your accusations. Audrey Macy was the one who saved me, and she even accompanied me abroad for treatment.”

Yolanda Robinson was taken aback, then started laughing. “Nicole, did you hear that? You always said someone was the smartest person in the world, but it turns out they’re just a big fool, tricked for seven or eight years without realizing it, haha.”

“What do you mean?” Quinn Ortega stared at Yolanda Robinson.Yolanda Robinson sneered, “Did you never notice the burn scars on Nicole’s arms after being with her for five years?”

Quinn Ortega’s face changed.Yolanda Robinson continued mockingly, “Do you know how those scars came about? They were from saving you, resulting in a month-long hospital stay and several lung infections that nearly killed her. Not only did you never show up to say thank you, but you also mistook her for someone else who saved you. Quinn Ortega, you will never have a good end!”

“I don’t believe it, you’re lying to me,” Quinn Ortega said darkly.”She’s not lying,” Duncan Shepard spoke up. He was a childhood friend of Quinn Ortega.Quinn Ortega turned to Duncan Shepard. “We all witnessed Nicole drag you out of the music room. Her hair was singed, and her first words were to save you.”

“We thought you and Audrey Macy fell in love abroad. When we saw Nicole become your secretary and stay with you, we assumed you knew the truth.”

“Impossible, you’re lying to me.” Quinn Ortega shook his head.Duncan Shepard said earnestly, “I can swear by my badge that everything I’ve said is true. Many people witnessed it, and you can ask others or check the records.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

So that was it.After Nicole got injured saving Quinn Ortega and was hospitalized, the Ortega Family’s butler had appeared to express gratitude and paid the medical bills.I had never sought to use this as leverage or make any demands, assuming the matter was over.I hadn’t expected Quinn Ortega to mistake the person who saved him; perhaps this was fate.

Suddenly, Quinn Ortega turned and rushed towards the cremation furnace. My casket had already been ignited. Quinn Ortega threw himself at it, trying to shut the furnace.The staff scolded him, but he ignored them, forcibly pulling my casket out.

Yolanda Robinson charged at Quinn Ortega, “What are you doing? You won’t let Nicole rest

shoved in peace even in death.”Quinn Ortega Yolanda Robinson away and, ignoring the heat, opened the casket.Seeing my intact body, he sighed with relief and reached out to check my scars.

“This man is insane! Someone stop him!”Yolanda Robinson shouted, and the staff called security to pull Quinn Ortega away.”I refuse to let her be cremated,” Quinn Ortega said, still holding on.Yolanda Robinson pried his hand off, rearranged my body, and said coldly to Quinn Ortega, “You have no right to decide.”

As the furnace fire was reignited, I sighed with relief, glad that this had ended with no further disaster.
