I Received The First Time Of My Extraordinary Superior (9 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 21
Sydney Warden struck the ice relentlessly.
Whom was that resentment and fury directed toward?
Her brother Anthony Warden, who had dumped everything on her and died? Her ailing younger sister Emilia Warden, whom she had to support? Or perhaps the Warden family itself, left with nothing but an empty name?
Each time she slammed the bucket down, shards of ice and water splashed up, striking Sydney. Just as someone tried to approach the girl who had lost all reason—
The hoarse sound squeezed from her throat was closer to an animal’s cry than human speech.
It had always been like this. Sydney Warden—that fiercely bitter girl—would always sob so pitifully, so heartbreakingly, holding back her tears in silence.
As if she might shatter and die the moment anyone drew near…
Every time, he felt utterly powerless. But if this was what tormented Sydney Warden…
Logan Redford glanced briefly at Peter, who was trembling with fear.
A person whose mind and body had been worn down by unjust torture, and who had lost a friend under wrongful circumstances—of all people, he happened to meet every condition that would make Sydney feel pity.
She’d surely step in again, unable to turn away, just as she had done for children from enemy nations, the elderly, widows, and even prisoners…
He’d thought it reckless. Back then, he’d scolded her sharply, telling Sydney Warden to throw away that clumsy, cheap sympathy of hers.
Her reply had been unexpected. In a battlefield where everyone sought to kill or be killed, in a situation where all were unhappy, she was perilously fragile.
If things continued like this, both her body and spirit would surely break down completely.
Back then—and even now—he couldn’t understand why Sydney Warden acted this way, nor why he himself hadn’t punished her according to military law…
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
Ahhhh the “I have a friend” line. How did she keep her gender hidden this long smh lol
Could it be he was the one who designed the dresses Victoria gifted her?
Is the translation wrong? Isn’t it he never doubted Sydney was a MAN?
