Chapter 5 — Last Hope

But when I heard her say it out loud... I still felt cold from head to toe. That's his wife! How could he take action?!

“Miss... I've said everything I know.”

Ms. Truong wiped her tears.

“Go away... don't let him know you've been here.”

“Miss Truong, thank you.”

I stood up, bowed deeply.

"Don't worry, I won't involve you."

"As for your child's illness... I will also find a way."

Leave Ms. Truong's house. On the way back— in my heart… an unprecedented strength arose. I have witnesses. Even though she hasn't dared to go to court yet. But as long as I find more important evidence— I believe, you will come forward. I went back to the hospital. I want to visit my sister-in-law. As soon as I walked to the door of the hospital room, I saw my brother and Lam Na standing and talking to some relatives. It's the aunts and uncles in my house.

"Tieu Hi is back."

An aunt saw me. All eyes immediately turned to me. My brother looked at me, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. He spoke first.

“You came at the right time.”

He sighed, his expression painful.

“This girl Tieu Hi... is probably so excited because of what happened to her sister-in-law.”

"Recently, he's mentally unstable."

“All day long, I say that you hurt her sister-in-law, and you go around saying random things.”

“Yesterday I even beat Lam Na.”

“I'm really worried he'll do something extreme.”

He acted to every detail. Lam Na stood next to her, wiping her tears, pretending to feel extremely sorry for herself. The eyes of my relatives... looking at me... gradually changed. From pity— to suspicion, then blame.

“Tieu Hi, why don't you understand this?”

“Your brother is already exhausted because of your sister-in-law, are you causing more trouble?”

"That's right, that girl Lam Na also has the heart to help, why did you hit someone?"

“Quickly apologize to your brother!”

I looked at each of those faces. So fake it's funny. Is this my relative? No need to ask right or wrong—condemned me first.

“I'm not wrong.”

“I won't apologize.”

“This girl is crazy! Really crazy!”

My brother beat his chest and acted until he got into his mind.

“Uncle and aunt, everyone is my witness.”

“For the good of Tieu Hi... also for Luu Van's peace of mind to recuperate.”

“I decided... to temporarily send him to a mental hospital for treatment.”

Mental hospital. Those four words— exploded in my ears like a bomb. I almost couldn't believe it. want to put me in there?

“Tran Loi, you dare!”

I pointed straight at him, my whole body shaking with anger.

“See, it's starting again.”

He turned to his relatives, holding out his arms helplessly.

"You've seen it too, his emotions are extremely unstable now, and he also has a tendency to attack others."

"If I leave it like that, I'm afraid it will harm myself... and even affect Luu Van who is lying on the hospital bed."

“Taking him for treatment, with a specialist doctor monitoring him, is best for everyone.”

Those people...

“Tran Loi is right.”

"Tieu Hi is like this, I have to go see a doctor."

“It's for your own good.”

One by one— became accomplices. I looked at them. Just disgusting.

“Go away!”

I shouted.

“Go away!”

“You are not worthy of being my family!”

“It's over... I'm really sick.”

An uncle shook his head.

“Tran Loi, quickly call the hospital.”

He pulled out his phone. Really call.

“Hello, it's an illness An Khang hospital, right? There is a patient here, the situation is quite urgent…”

I rushed forward, intending to snatch the phone. But he easily controlled me. The hand squeezed my arm—so hard it seemed to crush the bones.

"Tran Hi, I did it for your good."

He leaned close to my ear. The voice was loud enough for only me to hear.

“I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to keep it.”

“Do you think finding that maid... will be able to turn me on?”

“I tell you, it's useless.”

“Just go to a mental hospital…”

"What you say... no one will believe it anymore."

“I will become a true crazy person.”

His voice... like a snake's tongue. Cold. Smooth. Toxic. I shivered. Only then did I truly understand— how scary he was. This is not a temporary idea. calculated in advance. Sending me to a mental hospital... was a fatal blow. One trick of pulling firewood from the bottom of the pot—destroying all my honor and ability to resist.

“Let me go! You devil!”

I struggled and kicked him. But he tightened his grip and did not let go. Two men wearing white blouses stepped up. His eyes were cold. Holding rope in hand.

“It's her.”

Tran Loi pointed at me.

“Doctor, I'm sorry. My sister… is very sick.”

“We understand.”

Those two people walked towards me. I stepped back, my heart racing.

“Don't come here! I'm not sick! I'm not crazy!”

I turned to ask for help.

“Uncle! Aunt! Save me!”

“You can't let him do that to me!”

No one came out. The person turned away. The person bowed his head. Pretend not to see. In their eyes— maybe I really was crazy. they just don't want to get into trouble. The other two held my other hand. I'm like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Can't resist. Desperate. A bone-chilling despair—swallows me. Will I really be dragged into that hell? Sister-in-law's injustice... will never be clarified? I cannot bear to lose. The moment they were about to drag me away— I mustered all my strength—

“Police! I want to report to the police!”

“My brother… has murderous intentions!”
