Chapter 6
When I woke up, the first thing I saw was my sister’s exhausted face, her eyes bloodshot and filled with worry for me.
e.)
“JoJo, you’re awake! How do you feel? Are you in pain?“]
Seeing my sister’s familiar gaze again, everything that had happened felt like a dream.[]
Like none of it had ever happened –
My sister hadn’t died saving me, Mom and Dad hadn’t adopted Madison,
Our family of four was still living happily together.[]
Seeing me still in a daze, my sister got worried again.]]
“JoJo, are you still hurting? Let me get the doctor!“]
She started to run out, and that’s when I snapped back to reality–this wasn’t a dream.]]
My sister had really come back![]
“Don’t leave! Don’t leave me!“]]
Hearing my cry, my sister came back.]
I quickly hugged her and poured out all the years of missing her.[]
My sister held me tight too.
Even though she didn’t know what had happened, she knew her little sister had suffered terribly.[]
K
Watching me and my sister embrace with such deep sisterly love, Mom and Dad couldn’t help wiping tears from their eyes.
The regret in their hearts grew even stronger.
After our emotions settled down, my sister remembered to ask about my injuries.[]
“JoJo, what happened to you? Did Mom and Dad…“[]
My sister couldn’t bring herself to ask if Mom and Dad had beaten me, but she already had her suspicions.
Hearing her question, I instinctively looked at Mom and Dad standing nearby.
Their bodies had gone rigid at my sister’s words, and their eyes were pleading with me.
I looked back at my sister and shook my head.
“As long as you’re back, nothing else matters.“]
My sister looked suspiciously between me and our parents, but finally swallowed all her questions.
When I was well enough, Mom and Dad brought me and my sister home.]]

Chapter 6
As soon as we walked in, Madison threw herself into Mom’s arms.
“Mom, where did you and Dad go? I couldn’t find you anywhere, and your phones weren’t working.“[]
Mom instinctively started to comfort Madison, but suddenly remembered my sister behind her and quickly pulled her hands back.[]
Not getting the usual comfort, Madison sensed something was wrong.[]
She looked up to see Mom and Dad’s embarrassed, frozen faces, my sister supporting me while glaring coldly at her, and me–already
used to this scene.
Looking at my sister, who had a similar face but completely different aura, Madison was so scared she almost screamed.[]
Her finger shook with fear as she pointed at my sister.
“Who are you? Why are you with my mom and dad?“[]
“Your mom and dad?“|[]
My sister’s cold gaze turned to our parents, the question in her eyes unmistakable.[]
Mom and Dad avoided my sister’s stare, stammering and not daring to say anything.[]
“She’s the daughter Mom and Dad adopted after you left.” Since they wouldn’t say it, I would.[]
I could tolerate Madison’s usurping when my sister wasn’t here, but now that my sister was back, Madison should return everything that belonged to her.
I could suffer, but my sister couldn’t.[]
“Adopted? Why adopt another daughter? Even if I left, Mom and Dad still had you, didn’t they?“]
With every word my sister spoke, Mom and Dad’s faces grew paler.)}\
“That’s because…“]
ne.]]
Seeing I was about to reveal the truth, Mom quickly interrupted me.
“JoJo! You just got out of the hospital and haven’t recovered yet. You should go rest in your room.“[]
Dad chimed in too.
“Right, right, go inside. Don’t stand here in the doorway.“[]
They walked around Madison and ushered me and my sister inside.
Madison watched our family of four’s retreating figures, her eyes full of undisguised hatred.]
She understood what was happening now-
That bitch Maya had come back!]
Would there be any place for her in this house now?]
In the living room, my sister helped me sit on the sofa.[]

Chapter 6
The once–familiar home was no longer what my sister remembered.[]
Where our family of four portrait used to hang, there was now a photo of Madison with Mom and Dad.[]
Where my art awards used to be displayed, Madison’s dance photos had taken their place.
In this house, there wasn’t a single trace of my existence to be found.[]
My sister could no longer contain her anger.
“What the hell is going on?“]
Mom and Dad felt both heartbroken and regretful seeing their precious daughter angry.[]
But they still didn’t dare tell the truth.[]
“Sister, how can you talk to Mom and Dad like that? You’ll hurt their feelings.“]
Madison had already hidden her true emotions and returned to her usual sweet sister act.[]
“What gives you the right to speak here? What are you anyway?“[]
Madison didn’t expect my sister to be so blunt. Her eyes immediately reddened, looking pitiful and wronged.[]
Usually when she put on this act, Mom and Dad would beat me without question to make her feel better.[]
But this time, her wish didn’t come true.]]
“Maya, don’t be angry. She’s just the daughter of friends. If you don’t like her, we’ll send her away immediately.“[]
Madison couldn’t believe what Mom and Dad were saying–they were so easily talking about sending her away?!
“Mom, Dad…“]]
She wanted to say something to salvage their affection, but Mom and Dad, who usually doted on her, now acted like strangers, their hearts and eyes full of their biological daughter.[]
My sister’s face was cold, her tone indifferent.[]
“Then make her leave. I don’t like her.“]
With their precious daughter’s decision made, what else could Mom and Dad do?]
They immediately had the servants pack Madison’s things.]
Madison’s hatred could no longer be hidden.[]
“Do you know why your precious little sister got hurt?”
“Shut up!“]]
Mom and Dad tried to stop Madison from revealing the truth, but Madison had lost it completely. Besides, she was never grateful to begin with
“Your mom and dad beat her themselves–with sticks, whips… whatever was handy.“]
Chapter 6
“All I had to do was say she bullied me, and your parents would immediately beat her half to death without asking questions.“[]
“I tore up her homework, put cockroaches and mice in her room, framed her for stealing… but they never listened to her explanations.”
“When your sister was beaten until blood poured from her mouth, she kept calling for Mom and Dad, but they didn’t stop. It was heartbreaking to watch.”
Madison started laughing as she spoke.[]

damp, cold, sunless storage.
“Do you know where your sister lived? The storage room! Hahaha! Their biological daughter lived in room while I got to live in your spacious, bright bedroom. Her room was turned into my walk–in closet.”
“And there’s more…”

Dad couldn’t take it anymore. Trembling with rage and breathing heavily, he kicked Madison in the stomach.
“Shut the hell up!“]]
But besides anger, his face showed obvious fear.]
Fear that my sister would learn the truth.[]
Fear that my sister would be disappointed in them.[
Madison doubled over in pain, clutching her stomach as she knelt on the floor.

But her eyes were even more crazed.]
“Hahaha! You’re scared! What’s the point of being scared now? You allowed everything I did back then, and you’re the one who beat her with your own hands.“]
Mom was crying too hard to speak, covering her mouth and shaking her head at my sister,
as if her denial could make everything they’d done to me disappear.
“Slap!”
My sister rushed over and slapped Madison, her hands clenched into fists.
“I’ll make you all pay the price.“[]
She helped me up from the sofa where I’d been watching coldly.[]
“JoJo, come with me.“]
“I’m taking you away from these people.“]]
Now all the truth had been revealed.
But I felt nothing in my heart–no resentment about the past, no satisfaction at exposing Madison’s true face []
Nothing
I just wanted to be with my sister.[]
