Everyone Loves My Sister Chapter 8
From this moment on, nothing in this family had anything to do with me.I left the place I once called home and drove to the apartment Josh and I had prepared for our marriage.Everything in the apartment was in matching sets—his and hers. I packed up everything that belonged to me. Even the wedding photos.I carefully cut out my half of each picture and took it with me, leaving only his behind.The pain in my abdomen was becoming more frequent, sharper, and harder to ignore.There wasn't much time left.Before it ran out, I wanted to see Toben Lake.I'd heard about it so many times from a friend. He told me the sky there was impossibly blue, the water a perfect green, clear and untainted. He said flocks of seagulls played on the lake every day, their white wings skimming the surface. He said the shrimp there was unlike anything else—so fresh, so sweet, that someone like me, who loved seafood, couldn't possibly pass it up. And he said the sunlight at Toben was warm eno
Everyone Loves My Sister Chapter 9
In college, during my freshman year, I met Josh.One day, both he and Lucas cornered me at the school gate and confessed their feelings. Without hesitation, I chose Josh.Not long after, Lucas transferred to another college.For a while after that, he kept texting me—telling me about Toben Lake, how breathtaking it was, asking when I would come visit.But Josh was possessive, jealous. He didn't allow me to reply.And so, over time, Lucas and I lost contact.I still remember the last message he sent me:[Your number will always remain in my phone, no matter what.]I looked at Lucas now and blurted out, "You should cut down on smoking. It's bad for your liver."Carrie developed liver disease from smoking.My mother and Nick had forced me to donate more than half my liver to save her.If not for that, I wouldn't have ended up with liver cancer.Wouldn't have ignored my symptoms.Wouldn't have let it drag on until it was too late.Lucas took the cigarette pack and lighter fro

I hesitated for a moment before answering the call."Grace, where the hell have you been these past few days? Carrie's liver cancer has relapsed. She's in the hospital again, and she might need another transplant from you. Come back right away! Oh, and return the bridal gift money Josh gave you. Carrie's hospital bills need to be paid."Before I could say a word, the line went dead.When Lucas knocked on the door, I was wiping away tears in secret. He thought I was in pain again and rushed to my side, his expression tense. I shook my head, signaling that I was fine, then handed him a bank card."Lucas, I need your help again. Transfer 32,000 dollars to the account on this paper. Account name, Josh Beaumont. The bridal gift money he gave me a year ago was 30,000 dollars. The extra 2,000 dollars is interest."Whatever remained in the account, I had Lucas send it all to George.That night, just as I was about to fall asleep, the pain in my abdomen flared up again. I curled up, bit

I looked into the stuffed bear's eyes for a moment. Then, I pushed it away."I loved the one Carrie took from me. The one my dad gave me for my birthday."Lucas hesitated before saying, "He said Carrie ruined that bear's eyes. He replaced them with new ones."I was too tired to say anything more."Lucas, please ask him to leave. Don't let him come back. Maybe he really regrets everything. Maybe he wants to make it up to me. But I don't need it anymore. And keep my illness a secret from them. I don't want to see any of them before I die."Lucas stayed until I fell asleep, then left. I never knew what he said to Nick, but after that night, Nick never showed up again.Still, my old toys—the ones Carrie had stolen—began appearing around me. Beautiful dresses, gifts Nick had bought for me, all neatly arranged in my room.I didn't need them anymore.I asked Lucas to donate everything to children who actually needed them.Since I had blocked Josh, he couldn't reach me. But I guessed

Josh and I had been together for seven years. Finally, we were getting married.Sitting at the vanity, I layered on three coats of powder before my pale and sickly face looked anything close to normal.Footsteps echoed behind me. In the mirror, my mother's reflection appeared."Grace."My back stiffened for a moment before I forced a smile, one that barely qualified as such."Mom… you're here."Without warning, she pulled out a paring knife and pressed it against her throat."Can you let Carrie marry Josh instead?" she pleaded. "The fortune teller said this is the only way she'll ever recover. She's been in love with Josh for so long. Marrying him is the only way she'll get better."Afraid I might refuse, she pressed the blade harder against her skin, drawing a thin line of red."If you don't agree, I'll die right here. Then you won't get married either."I stared at her, unable to wrap my head around it."So, whatever Carrie wants, I have to give it to her? My liver, my wed

But Mom still ripped my wedding dress off me.Clutching it in her arms, she hurried off to find Carrie while muttering to herself, "Carrie has lost so much weight recently. I wonder if she'll even be able to fill out this dress. If I had known, I would've made Grace eat less."Only then did Nick let go of my wrist.He paused, staring at my thin, bony arm. "Why have you lost so much weight?"My nose burned.Two years ago, Carrie and I were in a car accident together.After that, my mother spent all her time cooking elaborate meals for her.I only got the leftovers.Carrie and I had completely different tastes. The food she loved was everything I couldn't stand. But if I so much as hesitated, my mother would break down, lamenting how hard things were for her. So I forced myself to swallow bite after bite.That's when the anorexia started.The weight dropped off quickly.But they were all so focused on Carrie that no one noticed.That dress would barely fit her.I let out a q

Wait? Time was a luxury I didn't have.I clenched the medical report in my bag, crumpled it into a tight ball, and tossed it into the trash.It didn't matter. No one would care anyway.I just had to disappear quietly.Once I was gone, everything that had belonged to me would be Carrie's.Maybe then they'd finally be happy.Two years ago, I had driven Carrie to a competition. At an intersection, we argued.I told her firmly that it was a no-left-turn lane.She insisted I was just jealous, that I wanted her to be late. Before I could react, she lunged at the wheel, yanking it hard. We crashed straight into oncoming traffic.When my mother and Nick arrived, they didn't even bother asking what had happened.My mother screamed at me."How were you driving?! Look at Carrie's leg! Do you have any idea how important this is for a future dancer?! Why wasn't it you who got hurt instead?!"Nick's expression was cold."Grace, how can you be so cruel? Were you trying to kill Carrie?"

"Grace, I remember taking precautions that night."Josh hesitated before speaking.I froze for a moment, then understood.He wasn't going to acknowledge the baby.I smiled, cleared my throat, and said, "Don't worry. The child isn't yours."He hadn't expected me to admit it so easily. His expression darkened with anger."Then whose is it?" he demanded."And what does that have to do with you, brother-in-law?"His expression turned stormy. "Grace, do you have no self-respect? You resent your family for favoring Carrie, but have you ever looked at yourself? How do you even compare to her?""Oh. Then go ahead and love her all you want."His fury erupted. He grabbed my wrist, his grip tight and unrelenting. "Tell me who the man is!"Even Nick chimed in. "Grace, just say his name. We'll teach that bastard a lesson for you!"I let out a short, bitter laugh. "I'm not pregnant. I have a terminal illness."Nick's hand lashed out before I could react. His slap was sharp and stinging.

The moment Josh spoke, Carrie let go of him and screamed like she had lost her mind.He held her tightly, his voice soft as he tried to calm her down.George arrived almost immediately. His smile was polite, but his eyes were cold."Grace, Carrie's condition is still unstable. Can you wait just a little longer? Once she gets better, I promise I'll make it up to you and Josh with a proper wedding."I opened my mouth to respond, but before I could, my mother walked over and yanked at my arm—the same one that had been injured before. The force of it sent a sharp pain through me."Grace, George has always treated you like his own," she said, her grip tightening. "Carrie is your sister. Can't you just wait? Do you have to provoke her like this?"My arm throbbed, the pain spreading to my abdomen. Years of being cast aside surged up inside me all at once. Tears burned at the corners of my eyes, and before I could stop myself, I asked, "Mom, is Carrie the only one you care about? Do you
Everyone Loves My Sister Chapter 6
Mom would snatch things from my hands without hesitation and place them gently into Carrie's.Even Nick, who once adored and spoiled me, had grown distant after we moved into George's home. He favored his new sister—one who shared no blood with him—more and more. And when I protested, he would scold me for being jealous, for being petty.At school, Carrie often pouted, claiming she was too tired to walk. Without hesitation, Nick would crouch down, eyes filled with affection, and let her climb onto his back. Meanwhile, I trailed behind them, hugging the school bags they had tossed at me, my vision blurring as tears welled up in my eyes.Since entering this house, Nick's back had no longer been a place for me.I still remember those early days when Carrie would smirk at me in secret, reveling in her newfound place at the center of my family's love."Have you noticed, Grace?" she'd say, eyes gleaming. "Mom and Nick don't love you at all. You don't belong here."She'd glance at me

I pressed a hand to my burning cheek.For a moment, I said nothing, just stared at my mother in despair."Fine. I'll donate my liver to her."The moment the words left my mouth, my mother's face lit up. She couldn't even hide her eagerness, already thinking about rushing back to take care of Carrie. She turned to the waiter and said, "Excuse me, can you reheat all the dishes and pack them to go?"She muttered to herself as she counted the dishes, "Carrie loves eating here."I forced a bitter smile.Carrie got to come to expensive restaurants like this all the time, while I was here for the first time in my life. I had thought the dish names sounded so elegant, like poetry. But before I could even savor them, everything was packed away.The waiter returned with neatly wrapped takeout bags. My mother, Nick, and George all stood up at once. Not a single glance nor a single word was spared for me.The three of them left the private dining room together, hurrying off as if afraid Ca
