“W-what do you mean? Why did you say that?” Ava’s voice was hoarse. Her throat felt dry.

Suddenly, Eva poked her shoulder. “If you didn’t come back, Mom and Dad would only love me. I was their only daughter. I wouldn’t be under anyone’s shadow.”

“Do you realize what you said?” Ava’s voice grew shakier. Her lips trembled violently. Her eyes turned red to suppress the emotions in

“Not only that, she also called my parents Mom and Dad,” Ava

snorted in disgust. “But I tried to be patient. I learned to accept her as my little sister. I learned to share everything I had with her. Then what?

Ava raised her eyebrows and chin. “That person turned out to be ungrateful. She kept cornering me, pushing me around until I finally chose to step back. Are you still not aware?”
