Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220: She was a burden all along

Since the day Ella opened her eyes in this life, she was determined to love herself, to never let the insecurities from her previous life chase her.

But whenever she thought of how pathetically she had lived in her previous life, her heart cried for her past self.

Till her last breath, she had trusted her little sister, for whom she was willing to do anything...

"My little sister is the person who caused this,’’ Ella pointed at her body.

Esther’s expression shifted slightly.

Silence descended in the living room.

In the past few months, Ella had gone from some 178 pounds to 136 pounds. Yet, she still did not look like the way she used to, a few years ago.

And internally, her body did not feel the same, or as healthy as it used to be then.

If not for her occasional indulgence in food, she would probably have lost more weight.

But given her twisted relationship with food in her previous life, Ella did not hold herself back this time.

"What... do you mean by that?" Mo Jun was the one to break the silence in the place.

Ella did not look at him. She continued looking at her parents, "My reports say that I have been taking huge doses of medications that mess with my hormones, trigger my emotions and in the long run, they also cause eating disorders..."

"Esther would never do that," Mr. Yu tilted his chin.

Ella paused for a moment before she nodded slowly, "What if I can prove my words?"

A sob broke through the living room, "Sis, why... Why are you saying such things?"

Ella ignored her, never once taking her eyes off her parents.

At this moment, Mrs. Yu took a deep breath before reaching out to Ella’s hand. "Come with me, dear. Let’s talk."

Ella didn’t resist as the woman held her hand and led her away under everyone’s gaze.

The door to her father’s study clicked shut behind them.

The moment they were alone, Mrs. Yu squeezed her hand with an almost motherly warmth.

"Ella," she said softly, "I know things have been hard for you. I know. But... must you bring up all this now?"

Ella was stunned, "Mom..."

Mrs. Yu hesitated, her brows knitting together. "I’m not saying Esther was right. But she’s still your sister, isn’t she? Can’t we... let this go? We’ve just gotten you back. Let’s not make things worse than they already are."

Ella felt something shatter quietly inside her chest.

She took a step back.

"I thought..." Her voice cracked. "I thought you were just blindly trusting her and rightfully so, she is your daughter just as I am."

Mrs. Yu sighed, "Ella..."

Ella’s lips quivered, "You’re choosing her. Even if I showed you the evidence, it wouldn’t make a difference, would it?"

Mrs. Yu opened her mouth to speak, but Ella raised a hand.
