Isadora was stunned for a moment. "What is it?"
Sabrina smiled. "You and I, we have suffered the same fate."
Isadora was confused. "Hmm?"
"When you were telling me about your past, you had unintentionally mentioned a few times that you wanted to kill all of the people in this world who were living an extravagant life. Does that include me?"
Isadora was speechless. To be honest, she had quite a good impression of Sabrina. Although Sabrina had difficulty moving around because she had a pregnant belly, the resolution, shown by her were greatly admired by Isadora. Isadora had also heard from her brother that Sabrina was also very miserable back then. Isadora was even green with envy because although both of them had been through a lot of misery during their teenage years, Sabrina had met a good man who loved her. However, what about Isadora? She had been following and wandering with her brother her whole life. She had never tasted the feeling of being loved.
Seeing that Isadora did not answer, Sabrina touched her own belly and then smiled light in relief. "Actually, my original last name is not Scott. My biological father's last name is Lynn. At least you knew who your father was since childhood. I, on the other hand, did not even know who my biological father was after I was born."
"You...were you miserable too?" Isadora asked. She knew Sabrina had a tough life, but she never thought that Sabrina did not even know her father was.
Sabrina looked at Isadora, and in Isadora's gaze, there was an obvious sympathy for Sabrina. Clearly, she was not a girl, who was born with viciousness and evil intentions. Isadora was compassionate.
Sabrina was thinking that even if there was an only opportunity for her to live, she did not want to die here at the hands of Malvolio. Her husband was still warning for her return. Aino needed her mother by her side. The baby in Sabrina's belly was about to be born, and yet, Sabrina did not even know if the baby was a boy or a girl. This child had yet to see the light o f the world. Sabrina did not want to die. Death was just her last resort. It was just the last expedient for Sabrina to protect Sebastian and Aino. Sabrina thought that if she could find a point of a breakthrough through Isadora, then she would have had a fighting chance to survive.
Thinking of that, Sabrina shrugged her shoulders, let out a deep sigh, and then smiled. "Not only did I not know who my father was at birth, but I was also not as lucky as you, who has a brother who could protect you at all times. When I was only an almost eight-year-old child, a couple had once exchanged their child with m e for a week saying that they wanted us to experience each other's lives. Actually, what that couple wanted was to use me as a publicity stunt. They wanted to promote to others that they were a compassionate couple. They originally thought that I was from a village, so I must have been dirty, smelly, and unkempt. They then gathered many people as they wanted them to first have a look at my unkempt appearance, and then how I was cleaned up under the couple's meticulous care. Therefore, they thought of making me dirty on purpose."
"There's such a thing?" Isadora's eyes widened in shock.
"Of course! You have been living in big cities since childhood. Everyone's quite decent there. Just like your stepmother, if it weren't because her company had run into some trouble, she may still be considered fine with the way she treated you. However, the couple that I met wanted to use me as a negative example in every turn to showcase their kindness. In the end, when they saw that I was clean, not at all unkempt, and I could also play the piano, the couple then flew into a rage out of humiliation and beat me u p so hard that I had three broken ribs," Sabrina answered.
Isadora was speechless. As she was saying all that, Sabrina's expression was very calm.
