Olivia, however, opened her letter.
She didn’t care if Aurora knew about the coma or not; she was more focused on what Aurora wanted to say to them.
"Dear Olivia, by the ti you read this letter, I will be in a coma. I had an intuition about it. I have written this letter to tell you sothing I couldn’t say to your face.
You are a an b*tch. Your sharp and poisonous tongue is the most hateful part about you. But I still love you.
Do you know why? Because when I was 10 and had a high fever and wanted to give up on life, you were there for .
You told about all the beautiful places I have never visited and asked to stay alive till I see them all.
So I decided to live here, not because of the beautiful place but because of the fear that I had seen in your life, which told how precious I was.
When I was 11 and was bullied by my classmates for not having a Kevin brand pencil, you used up all of your money to buy it for .
Yet your hateful mouth said the opposite. You said, ’I got this as a gift and don’t want it. So you keep it.’
When I was 13, I was about to get burned by the hot milk, and you pushed away to save , but in the end, you got burned.
To not make feel guilty, you hid the scar on your forearm for the next half year.
Just this year, you asked for lipgloss from because you knew I wanted a new one and couldn’t request it until the old one was over.
Thank you for always taking care of . And yes, you don’t need to give a kidney; I will survive on my own.
I just have one request from you: Never run after money. And please don’t use your white lotus tactics.
Ps: I will wake one day, so do what I had asked you to do."
Olivia’s eyes turned red as she read the letter. She felt a lump in her throat. She always thought that she was discreet, but Aurora knew all along.
She even knew about the kidney matter.
Olivia couldn’t explain her feelings to anyone. To her, Aurora was her child rather than a sister.
She felt difficulty in breathing and reached to hold Aurora’s hand but found her own hand trembling.
In the end, she withdrew it.
Aurora had told her about the 3-year coma in advance, but she couldn’t do anything in the end.
’I am such a failure...If only...if only I had told mother and father about her dreams...maybe the outco would have been different. My baby wouldn’t have to suffer so much.’
Tears started to slide down her cheeks, and she sobbed.
Her choked sobs were drowned by Mary’s hystercial voice,
"Aurora! Aurora, wake up! Please! I am sorry. I am sorry for how I behaved yesterday! Please, dear, open your eyes. Mother will promise to listen to you!
I will fulfil all of your wishes! Please, Aurora, wake up! You are angry with , right? You are angry that I didn’t stop even if you called again and again?
I apologize! Alright? I am sorry. Could you please open your eyes? Please? Mommy begs you."
No response.
The silence was deafening.
Mary held Aurora’s hand and pleaded, again and again.
The irony of life is that a scene can be repeated multiple tis in a person’s life, but each ti, the perspective is different.
Sotis, they are the cruel ones, while other tis, they are the ones who beg.
Adriana bit her lip and opened the letter in her hand. Her hands were trembling while her heart was telling her not to open the letter.
She didn’t want to see the hate her sister might be feeling for her. She couldn’t bear to.
"Dear eldest sister, I know you must be guilty by now. Don’t be, I don’t bla you. But I do want to ask for a favor. Don’t be envious.
I am not being sarcastic. I just want my previous older sister back. Today, you might seem an irritable and b*tchy kind of person, but you weren’t like that before.
Before 16, you were a cheerful kind of person, full of confidence and kindhearted. You were the type of person who gave up on her dance classes just so I could have my birthday dress.
But after 16, you suddenly changed. No one noticed it, but I did. I just wanted to ask why.
Did you face anything that you couldn’t say and felt unjust? Just tell . I will hear you and support you.
Also, I am sorry if I hurt you by expressing my wish of bringing our half-brother back. But I never ant to hurt you in the first place.
Ps: Please talk with . I will hear you. Though I can’t respond, I will take a stand on your behalf when I wake up."
Adriana broke down after reading the letter.
The secret that prickled her heart, that she thought no one saw, was seen by soone.
Everyone only saw her rude and irrational side, but no one understood what she went through.
The incidents she faced all alone and how helpless she felt.
Who in their right mind would stay calm after getting molested for half a year?
But no one paid attention to her.
She took care of everyone and hoped they would see how broken she was and how she wanted to scream for help, but no one noticed.
’You are the eldest sibling; you have to shoulder all the responsibility.’ Was the line she got whenever she tried to ask for help.
The sibling whom she took care of suddenly drifted apart from her, just because she couldn’t pull herself out of the situation.
Just because she had turned gloomy.
Just because she seed selfish.
