At this moment, Xiaolan's mind was filled with images of Gabriel and Xiaoling together. They were chatting and laughing, exchanging glances affectionately. A man and a woman living together alone, there was a high chance that something had already happened between them behind her back.

And her two sons, under their care, only recognized Lan Xiaoling as their family member.

As for her, the birth mother, she could only hide in the shadows and couldn't show her face!

The flames of jealousy were burning fiercely in her heart.

Xiaolan looked at Lan Xiaoling, and her face gradually became distorted.

"Sister, Dr. Xu said that the prosthetic limb is going very smoothly. Once you put it on, you'll be able to stand up too." Lan Xiaoling was simple-minded and had no idea what Xiaolan was thinking.

She just saw that her sister had been staring at her and smiled in confusion. "Is there something on my face?"

She even reached out and touched her face. Not feeling anything, she giggled brightly.

This smile was blinding to Xiaolan.

Xiaolan took the bowl of soup and lowered her head to drink it. As if it was an accidental mention, she said, "Sister, how have you thought about the thing I mentioned to you last time?"

"Hmm?"

Lan Xiaoling didn't react at once and asked, "What thing?"

Her forgetfulness made Xiaolan think it was on purpose.

Suppressing the dissatisfaction in her heart, she reminded, "I'm talking about what I said, that you should quickly find a boyfriend and live the life you want."

Lan Xiaoling said carelessly, "Sister, I think my current life is great. I can stay with you, Yuanbao, and Yuanman. I don't even need to get married for the rest of my life."

Was she staying with her and the children, or did she want to stay with Gabriel for the rest of her life?

Xiaolan clenched her fists tightly, and she couldn't control her emotions anymore. She shouted at Lan Xiaoling shrilly, "I don't need your company. Go find a man and get married quickly."

Lan Xiaoling was stunned.

Her sister had never been mean to her before. What on earth was going on today?

For a moment, she felt a bit wronged, and her eyes filled with tears.

Looking at her sister's angry face, she thought that since her sister was ill, it was inevitable that her emotions were unstable, and she didn't blame her.

She sniffled, suppressed her bad mood, and still had a smile on her face. "Sister, you're tired. Lie down and rest."

As she spoke, she bent down and wanted to help her lie down.

But before her hand could touch her sister's shoulder, Xiaolan shook it off forcefully. "I don't need your false kindness. Get out of here. The farther away, the better."

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Lan Xiaoling couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, and tears streamed down her face.

Xiaolan was now immersed in jealousy, and her whole body was shaking. She looked at Lan Xiaoling like she was looking at an enemy and said viciously, "There's nothing wrong with me. I just don't want to see you."

"Sister..."

Lan Xiaoling was just about to say something when she heard Xiaolan's cold voice.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. The reason you don't want to get married is that the person you most want to marry is Gabriel!"

Having her thoughts exposed, Lan Xiaoling was at a loss.

She admitted that she had feelings for Gabriel, but she knew that Gabriel was her sister's man. So, she had controlled her emotions and had never coveted him in the slightest.

She didn't want to steal him from her sister, but her sister had already misunderstood.

Lan Xiaoling was very sad. Her sister had never been mean to her before. Whenever there was something delicious or nice to wear, her sister would think of her first.

But now, her sister was guarding against her like she was a love rival and even said hurtful things to her.

The feeling of grievance welled up in her heart.

She wanted to explain something, but Xiaolan continued to assert her sovereignty. "I'm telling you, Lan Xiaoling, Gabriel is mine, and Yuanbao and Yuanman are my sons. Even if Gabriel has feelings for you, with his strong sense of responsibility, he will definitely not abandon me.

So, I advise you to give up this thought, leave his side as soon as possible, find a good man and get married. Otherwise, don't blame me for not considering our sisterly bond and being rude to you."

Lan Xiaoling let her scold but couldn't refute.

She kept comforting herself in her heart that her sister was just ill, which was why she was like this.

But with each harsh word, she finally couldn't bear it anymore. She put down the things in her hands and ran out of the ward sadly.

She didn't expect to run into Freya and the others at the door. After staring blankly at them for a few moments, Lan Xiaoling wiped her tears and left.

The moment the door opened, Xiaolan also saw the people outside.

Especially when she saw that Gabriel was there too, her originally distorted face quickly returned to normal, but she still felt a bit anxious inside.

After all, Gabriel must have heard what she just said.

The three people standing at the door were very embarrassed.

Gabriel took a deep look at Xiaolan and finally turned around to chase after Lan Xiaoling.

"Gabriel, come back!"

Xiaolan shouted unwillingly from behind.

However, Gabriel didn't look back and disappeared into the corridor.

Freya and Bradley looked at each other. This scene was beyond her expectations. She had guessed how serious Xiaolan's situation was, but she hadn't expected that she would warn her sister like this.

It seemed that jealousy could really distort a person's mind, and this statement was indeed true.

"Bradley, go and see Young Master Lu. I'll understand the situation first." Freya looked at Bradley and said this.

The man nodded and turned to leave together.

Only then did Freya step into the ward.

Xiaolan was a bit at a loss. After all, she was panicked that Freya had seen her ugly side.

Freya sat down beside her and said calmly, "Xiaolan, maybe you really misunderstood Xiaoling. She respects you so much and definitely won't want to steal a man from you."

Even if there were feelings in her heart, Freya believed in Lan Xiaoling. She would surely keep those feelings hidden in her heart and would never have the thought of taking him away.

But Xiaolan had made a hasty judgment and regarded Lan Xiaoling as a heinous enemy.

The breakdown of sisterly affection was far more painful than the loss of love. Otherwise, Lan Xiaoling wouldn't have left in such a disarray!

Xiaolan was already in a bad mood. Gabriel should have come to comfort her, but instead, he ran out to chase Lan Xiaoling despite her obstruction. This made the devil in her heart even more terrifying.

She shook her head vigorously and said in a somewhat manic state, "No, Xiaoling is too excellent. And she spends so much time with Gabriel. They will definitely develop feelings for each other.

So, before they betray me, I must break them up. Yes, break them up. I absolutely can't let them be together and let my children see Lan Xiaoling as their mother."

As she spoke, Xiaolan's extreme emotions became even more out of control. She hugged herself and kept trembling.

Suddenly, she pulled out the needle on the back of her hand and hissed, "I can't lose Gabriel. He's mine. No one can take him away. But he doesn't have me in his heart. What should I do?"

Blood spurted out, but Xiaolan didn't feel the pain. She kept stabbing her skin with the needle.

She was clearly hurting herself!

Freya quickly tried to stop her. But Xiaolan was already out of control. Anyone who tried to stop her would be glared at fiercely with her red eyes.

"Get away. You must like Gabriel too. You're here to steal him from me."
