Chapter 259

Yehoshua was both astonished and ecstatic, momentarily unable to grasp the reality unfolding before him just as he tried to verify the astonishing news, another message from Fabian pinged through.

Fabian: (Today marks the conclusion of your training camp. Here’s something crucial: we’ve found Elysia, Elysia Evans. If you return a day late, you might miss her welcome home celebration.]

Yehoshua’s eyes bulged, and his hand shook as he clutched the phone. Had anyone else imparted this information, he would have doubted it instantly. But coming from Fabian, Yehoshua had no reservations.

He pondered his little sister, declared missing at birth, her name absent from the Evans family tree, yet a room perpetually reserved for her in the house–a room she never occupied. Over the years, although she was seldom mentioned, their yearning for her remained.

The sudden message left Yehoshua momentarily stunned. He stood frozen, clutching his phone, unable to react.

Upon entering, Hugo noticed Yehoshua’s expression and playfully nudged him. “Are you so elated about winning the award that you can’t move?”

Yehoshua snapped out of his reverie, but his first words were, “Hugo, what kind of gifts do girls like?”

Hugo’s face lit up with amusement. “Oh, you’ve had an epiphany? Come on, spill the beans. Which girl caught your eye?”

“What epiphany? It’s for my sister.”

Hugo’s brows furrowed instantly. He thought, ‘Had winning the award driven him mad? Wasn’t his sister…. gone for years? He placed his hand on Yehoshua’s forehead, murmuring softly, “No fever here, either.”

Yehoshua brushed his hand aside with a serious demeanor. “I’m not sick; I’m serious. It’s really for my sister.”

“But isn’t your sister…”

“She’s alive. I’m not talking about Evelyn; I mean my other sister.”

Hugo’s eyes widened in astonishment at the revelation. As childhood friends as close as brothers, he was well–aware of Yehoshua’s family story. But Yehoshua had claimed his missing sister had passed away at birth.

Yehoshua clarified, “I don’t have all the details yet, but I’m certain my sister is truly alive. As my best friend, help me think
