Chapter 580 Because I Want to Survive
Mallory was overjoyed and got excited. “Do you recognize me? Do you really recognize me?”
Bridger felt strange. Why did she look so happy? When he said that she was not Paisley, she was happy.
After thinking for a while, Bridger got less frightened. He tilted his head and glanced at Mallory. “So you are not Paisley? Who are you?”
Mallory didn’t answer him. Instead, she laughed. “I told you before. Guess.”
“You told me before?” Bridger got more confused. When did she tell him?
Mallory looked at Bridger with a bright smile, but Bridger couldn’t remember when she told him her name. When he saw her necklace, he suddenly recalled that when she left the Palmer house, she whispered in his ear, “Remember, I’m Mallory.”
Bridger’s eyes lit
“Are you Mallory?”
Mallory almost cried and nodded vigorously. “It’s me. It’s me!”
Mallory was happy that he had guessed it right. Bridger also laughed, but as he laughed, he felt something was wrong. He knew she was Mallory, but why did she look exactly like Paisley?
Moreover, he had heard of the name Mallory before yesterday. When they dated long ago, she asked him to call her Mallory. Did she…
After thinking for a while, Bridger asked tentatively, “Do you mean we were together sometimes before?”
Mallory nodded and stifled her tears. “It’s not sometimes. I was with you most of the time. My name is Mallory Drew. Paisley is my twin sister.”
“Sister? Twins?”
Bridger opened his mouth wide. He was shocked.
Paisley and Mallory were twin sisters. They were different. Paisley was not crazy.
Bridger had thought that Paisley suffered from schizophrenia, but it turned out she had
inter 590 B…
a twin sister. He almost drove himself crazy.
“Really? You’re not the same.” Bridger couldn’t help but reach out to touch Mallory’s face. Her skin was smooth and fair. He couldn’t help but pinch her cheek. Mallory didn’t move, looking at him gently.
Now, Bridger was certain that Mallory was not lying. She was Paisley’s twin sister.
Paisley would never let him pinch her like this. She would break his wrist if he dared to put his hand on her face.
“It’s me. It’s me! I’m your Mallory!” Mallory held his hand on her face and couldn’t help shedding tears.
Seeing her cry, Bridger felt strange. It was incredible.
The face in front of him was the same as Paisley’s. He couldn’t imagine Paisley shedding tears in front of him. He knew the woman wasn’t Paisley, but they looked so
alike.
Bridger moved his fingers on Mallory’s face. Her eyebrows, eyes, mouth, and nose looked like Paisley’s.
“How can you look exactly like her?” Bridger sighed.
“Since I was seven years old, I had been imitating my sister, including her walking posture, speaking tone, demeanor, and some small movements as well as her style of dressing, personal preferences, and figure. We had a similar height, so people can’t tell us apart normally,” Mallory explained.
No wonder they looked identical. Bridger understood a bit, but he continued to ask curiously, “Why do you copy her? Because you look like her?”
Mallory’s eyes gradually dimmed. She said softly, “Because I want to survive.”
“Survive?”
“Yes.” Mallory nodded and looked down. “A curse has passed down for generations in the family. It says the family will be safe if only one child is born. If there are two, there will be disasters. Therefore, no matter how many children are born, only one child will
survive, or even none will survive.”
“From the moment we were born, it was destined that only one of us could live.”
Bridger was shocked. He could not help but say, “The curse is absurd.”
Mallory did not argue and nodded. She also thought the curse was absurd. She didn’t
believe it.
However, Mallory’s parents believed in the curse. Her mom was the only one who survived among her siblings, and the family had been safe for many years.
Mallory’s mom had planned to have only one child, but she had twins.
One child was supposed to be killed as soon as she was born, but Mallory’s dad stopped her mom, saying they should give the twins a fair chance to compete. The one who was a better heir to the Drew family would survive.
Without any doubt, Paisley was the chosen one.
Paisley was outstanding. She was superior to Mallory in both learning and martial arts. Most importantly, Paisley was good at martial arts and had ambitions, while Mallory preferred a simple, carefree life.
It wasn’t until Mallory got almost killed that she knew about the curse of the family.
She survived that day because she had to be Paisley’s shadow and help her do some
things.
Mallory lost her identity from that day. She became Paisley’s shadow and was no longer
herself.
It was the second-best solution. Mallory’s parents didn’t have to kill their own
daughter and lived up to the curse. They had only one daughter, and that was Paisley.
Mallory survived, but no one outside the family knew who she was.
After hearing Mallory out, Bridger was shocked. He failed to understand there was such a ridiculous thing in the world. He couldn’t understand Mallory’s parents, who almost killed their daughter because of an absurd curse. They were too cruel.
“So, the one who treated me gently is you, and the one who injured me and broke my arm is Paisley?” Bridger finally solved the mystery that had been haunting his mind.
This made sense. Paisley was gentle and shy sometimes, but she was ferocious and brutal at other times. It turned out there was another girl who looked exactly like Paisley.
“Are you injured? Where is your wound? Are you alright?” Mallory asked nervously, intending to check on his wound.
“Don’t worry.” Holding her hand, Bridger was happy, “I don’t feel any pain at the sight of you. Mallory, you are kind to me!”
Mallory was the only one who did not laugh at him or despise him. She didn’t add insult to injury and instead provided shelter for him. The woman in front of him was as kind
as an angel.
“I…” Mallory blushed at Bridger’s gentle words, her heart thumping.
Looking at her pink cheeks and misty eyes, Bridger was tempted and kissed her red lips.
