Her voice lowered even more. "You held in your tiny arms and told everyone that I was your little sister, so of course you would do it."
Aurora lowered her head, staring at the ground. Her shoulders trembled, but she forced a smile. She tried her best not to let her tears fall.
She rembered the day she had found out. She had been only eleven. She overheard it from the neighbors. If she had not gone to visit them, she might never have known.
She had always thought of Olivia as a bossy older sister who liked to control her, who often hit her or scolded her.
She thought Olivia was cruel. But when she learned the truth, her heart changed.
Aurora never showed it on her face. She smiled as if nothing had changed, because she did not want to embarrass the family. She understood they had hidden it to protect her. But she never forgot.
She rembered that day every single ti she looked at Olivia.
Olivia’s way of expressing love was different, and she gradually ca to accept it.
If Olivia doesn’t love her, then why even after only being 3, did she still proceed with the dangerous surgery.
Olivia stared at Aurora, her face calm, but her voice was sharp. "You’ve got it wrong. You are making things up."
Aurora lifted her eyes, a small frown between her brows.
"If I go now and get a test done, or if I put you under a test, won’t it show that you donated your bone marrow? Do you think the truth can hide forever?"
Olivia’s lips pressed together tightly. For a few monts, she did not speak. Her chest rose and fell as if she was trying to hold back the storm inside.
At last, she looked straight at Aurora.
"Don’t think about this. Don’t waste your ti on sothing like that. I have work to do. I’ll et you later." She turned, ready to leave.
But Aurora’s voice was calm and steady.
"If you plan to go back to your room and start ssaging in that private group that doesn’t have , telling others that I know the truth, then you don’t have to bother. Because I already know. And if you keep secrets from , Olivia, I’ll hack your phone."
Olivia stopped in her tracks. Her fists clenched at her sides. Fury burned in her heart. She spun around and glared at her younger sister.
"You were never supposed to know this!"
Aurora let out a light chuckle, her eyes soft but unshaken.
"If I had never found out, I would have always believed you were just a bossy sister who liked to order around. But now, I see you differently."
Olivia’s lips trembled, but no words ca out. She wanted to scold Aurora, to say sothing sharp, but deep inside, she could not.
For years, she had acted rough, always scolding and controlling Aurora, not because she hated her, but because she wanted to protect her.
And now that Aurora knew the truth, all her walls felt like they were falling apart.
Taking a deep breath, Olivia forced a playful expression.
"I was young back then. I didn’t know what I was doing. If I got another chance, I would never do it again. Why should I? Now I have more sense."
She even stuck out her tongue and tried to tease Aurora, pretending it was not a big deal.
Aurora shook her head and chuckled softly. "If that’s the case, then it would have been better if I didn’t need the bone marrow when I was a child."
Those words made Olivia’s chest tighten. Her hand curled into a fist. "Don’t repeat it. Don’t keep bringing it up."
Aurora raised one hand as if promising.
"Fine, fine. I won’t repeat it again. But Olivia, you need to know sothing. I appreciate what you did. And the money I transfer to you now, that’s only fair. You gave sothing priceless when I was a child. Don’t act like you don’t deserve anything in return."
Olivia’s eyes darkened. She shook her head and looked at Aurora with a grim expression.
"Never once did I think of taking a single penny from you. Not for that. Not for anything. If you keep transferring money to , I’ll only feel embarrassed."
Aurora laughed gently.
"Then I’ll only transfer when I have double the amount sitting safely in my account. That way, it won’t feel like a loss to . Think of it as balance between us."
Olivia sighed deeply. Her heart felt heavy, yet warm. It wasn’t about the money, she knew.
Aurora’s willingness to share, her unshaken love, was what touched her most.
In this world, money ant so much to most people.
Yet Aurora could give so freely, without hesitation, without bitterness. That was proof enough of how much she loved her sister.
Olivia’s gaze softened, her eyes carrying warmth for a brief second. But quickly, she blinked and masked it.
She didn’t want Aurora to see her heart too clearly.
"Fine. Since you said so, then I won’t be polite anymore." She turned as if to leave, but then paused at the doorway.
"One day, when I make it big, when I beco a very talented and famous painter, I’ll repay you. I’ll transfer one hundred million back to you. That’s my promise."
Aurora’s lips curved into a small smile. "Then I’ll be waiting. But until then, you should focus on yourself first. That’s more important to than money."
Olivia chuckled lightly. "Alright, alright." She was about to step out when Aurora suddenly called her again.
"Wait. Olivia, do you plan to take any master?"
Olivia stopped, her hand resting on the doorknob. For a second, her mind went blank. Then an image floated up in her thoughts.
She smiled faintly, almost dreamily.
"Yes. With the ten million you gave , I can finally get the master I’ve always dread of. You don’t need to pull any more strings for . I’ll handle it."
Aurora pressed her lips together, studying Olivia’s back.
