Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 73

Lilian was weak, so they could sacrifice her with a clear conscience.

Grace was strong, so she deserved to be sacrificed.

Her years of hard work and research were to be handed over to Lilian, and now she was supposed to be sold to an old man for the family's benefit.

Grace almost laughed out loud at their outrageous reasoning.

"He's right."

Dorian quickly stepped in to smooth things over. He was the only one among the Hart brothers who had a shred of conscience when it came to Grace.

"Grace, don't say things you don't mean. Mom, Dad, and Lucian were just confused for a moment. They do care about you."

"Why don't you sit down? We can talk this out as a family. We just need to communicate."

Lilian immediately played her part, squeezing out a few tears and speaking in a choked voice.

"Yes, Grace… It's all my fault. I'm so sorry… If you're going to blame someone, blame me. Please don't be angry with Dad and our brothers anymore, okay?"

Her pitiful act immediately ignited Lucian's protective instincts.

He pulled Lilian behind him and glared at Grace.

"Grace! Stop being so passive-aggressive! What has Lilian ever done to you?!"

"Let me tell you, if it wasn't for Lilian, this leg would have been useless!"

He pointed to his right leg, his eyes filled with loathing.

"When I had that car accident, the doctors said there was no hope. But it was Lilian! She traveled to several cities, begging everyone she could, and found the medicine that saved me!"

"And what about you?!"

"You, my own sister, what did you do besides glance at me once outside the hospital room?!"

Grace looked at his face, twisted with rage, and felt a wave of nausea.

It was true.

She hadn't done much.

She had only locked herself in the lab for three days and nights for the sake of his nearly useless leg, poring over every medical text she could find and running hundreds of experiments. She had finally extracted a compound from a rare plant that could repair his damaged nerves.

She had only anonymously given her research findings to the attending physician, saving his leg.

And Lilian?
