My Family Fell Apart After I Died Serving as My Sister's Blood Bank

I once believed Ronald would be my salvation.My parents always told me we were poor, and I believed them. But now, I realized that my sister and I are actually heiresses to the renowned Fall Corporation."Alice, be a good girl. All the family's money has gone to your sister’s treatment and education. We don’t have any extra, so you have to work hard and help pay for her medical bills."My sister, Beatrice, was born fair-skinned and beautiful, with an extraordinary talent for music. The family adored her, treating her like a precious jewel. They gave her the only chance to attend college, sending her to the prestigious Bartin College of Music overseas, paying for her expensive education.Meanwhile, I gave up on pursuing university, even though I scored top marks on my high school exams. I didn’t apply to any colleges. Instead, I graduated and went straight to work—washing dishes and delivering food. And every few months, I had to donate blood to Beatrice.Now I realized, all those lies

But my hand passed right through him.He began removing the tubes from my body, one by one, and even took away the bag of unused blood, which h

The only light in the darkest corners of my life, I held onto it carefully, cherishing it like a treasure. All because of a promise he once made in passing.“If my Alice doesn’t have an umbrella, then I’ll be your umbrella. From now on, I’ll shield you from the storms, and no one will ever hurt you again.”I believed him.But, in the end, the man I clung to as my last lifeline was nothing more than a fleeting illusion.
