After a few days of recuperation in the hospital, the true daughter Eden came to see me.
"Isn't this the former Green family's eldest daughter? How did you end up like this?"
She stood before my hospital bed, dressed in the latest designer suit, her makeup immaculate.
Without even looking in the mirror, I knew what I must look like now.
I had disheveled hair and a swollen face.
"You're the real eldest daughter now. Go back home and enjoy your life. Why waste time here?"
I kept my head down, ignoring her, and continued peeling an apple.
This wasn't the first time I had met Eden.
She was the "sister" Jone had introduced to me, the kind girl who had helped him before.
She used to call me "sister" sweetly in front of me.
"Of course, I'm going to enjoy it. I've lost so many years, but I'm also here to see your misery. Otherwise, how could I feel satisfied?"
Eden's beautiful face twisted slightly, but in the next moment, she smiled again.
"And I'm already pregnant, carrying Jone's child. When I officially return home in a few days, we're getting engaged."
I snapped my head up, staring at her abdomen.
