Sebastian seemed to bask in the compliment, his handsome features softening with a gentle glow, almost angelic.

"Thanks for the compliment," he replied with a light laugh.

"I didn't know you had a sister. Is she your biological sister?" Miranda asked.

Sebastian nodded, "Yes, she was diagnosed with this strange illness when she was three. Since then, we've kept her hidden away, so the outside world doesn't know that the Everhart family has another daughter."

"What about your parents?" Miranda inquired.

Miranda furrowed her brow. She had only seen Susie's condition through videos Sebastian had shared, but he hadn't revealed much else. The situation seemed more complicated than he had initially let on.
