Nine Ungrateful Sisters Chapter 235
Arthur had told Oscar once that being human meant dying twice.The first death was the body. The second came when the last person who remembered you stopped thinking about you.For ordinary people, four or five generations were usually enough. After that, even family members stopped carrying a clear image of who you had been. The name might survive in a tablet or an old record, but the face, the voice, and the particular way you moved through the world disappeared.During a grave visit, someone might say, that one was our great-great-grandfather, that one was his wife, yet nothing would exist behind the words. No picture in anyone's mind.That was when a person was truly gone.Oscar had no children. Once he died, how long would it take the Chamberlain sisters to forget him completely? A few decades? Probably less.A few months without seeing his face and the details would already begin to blur. He had simply been part of their daily lives. Nothing more. Memory had limited space,

Irene stood frozen, staring at Giana in complete disbelief.Aside from Amara, no one had ever hit her. Giana certainly never had. She had never even raised her voice at Irene before. No matter what Irene had done, she could not imagine what could have pushed the gentlest person in the family to slap her before a crowd."Did you eat yet, Giana?" she asked weakly.It was the only thing she could think to say as she held out the bread and eggs.The gesture had the opposite effect from what she intended.Giana let out a short, cold laugh. "I don't know whether you have no conscience or simply no heart. You can stand there and offer me food right now?"I spoiled you for far too long. I never realized how vicious you could be. We're going home. I'll tell Amara everything and let her deal with you."The mention of Amara cut through everything else. Irene's composure cracked at once.Every miserable hour she had spent alone the night before surged back to the surface. "Giana, what are

Irene had dozed off and dropped it.The phone was dead, so she could not make any calls.The staff members, however, did not know that. The moment she mentioned the police, they went pale. If news of this spread, it would destroy the area's reputation. Who would want to visit after hearing something like this?"Miss, we truly don't have any kind of penalty system here. If you don't believe us, we'll call every staff member on the mountain right now. If you recognize anyone, you can decide the punishment yourself."They looked close to bowing."By the time you gather everyone, the people I'm looking for will already be gone." Irene crossed her arms. "I don't care. Get your manager. I'm not moving until I speak to someone in charge."The staff members exchanged miserable looks before radioing upstairs.While she waited, Irene pointed at the nearest employee. "You. Take me to get breakfast. I haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon."They had brought her up the mountain before din

Rebecca still stood outside the bathroom door, debating whether to kick it open, when it suddenly swung inward.Oscar stepped out with a towel draped over his head. He had splashed water on his face, and outwardly, nothing seemed wrong.Rebecca moved closer and carefully took his arm. "Bro, are you alright?"Something about his expression felt off, though she could not figure out what."I'm fine. Last night wiped us out, that's all.""We probably missed the sunrise. Most of today's spots too."He managed a faint smile. "I need to sleep. You should too."After bringing Giana down from the peak, they had stayed beside her through the entire night to ensure her condition did not worsen."Bro. Why didn't you tell Giana the truth? About your illness?" she asked."Why would I?" The words came out sharp and louder than he intended.Rebecca flinched and instinctively pulled her hand back. A second later, she reached for him again with even greater care. "Bro..."Oscar closed his eye

Rebecca kept talking before Giana could answer. "When did he ever say it was for you? And my brother only went to that peak because Luminos Summit was too crowded. He was taking me somewhere quieter to watch the sunrise."She looked at Giana with open contempt. "You really think everything is about you, don't you? Plain-looking and full of yourself on top of it."In fairness, Giana was not plain. She simply didn't care much about makeup or appearance, preferring to stay home and work. Among the Chamberlain sisters, that made her easy to overlook.Still, no woman in the world could hear herself called ugly without reacting. Giana was on her feet before she even realized she had stood.Her hands curled into fists as color rushed into her face. She stepped toward Rebecca. "What did you just say?"Rebecca immediately moved behind Oscar. "I said you're plain and delusional."That was the last straw.Giana raised her hand, but Oscar caught her wrist before she could strike. "Enough. T

"Giana, how are you feeling? Any better?"Giana, I peeled you an apple. Don't forget to eat it later."Giana, I just read your new chapter. It's really good. Though if I were writing it, I'd probably handle this part a little differently..."Through the haze, Giana heard someone calling her name.The memories surfaced without warning. Oscar bringing her things when she was sick, always knowing what she needed before she asked. Oscar finding her in the middle of a crowded room when no one else noticed her. Oscar reading her drafts and offering his thoughts, which she would laugh off, argue against, and then quietly use anyway.He was in those books far more than she had ever admitted to him.But she would never hear that voice call her Giana again. He had been expelled from the family, and she had stood there and let it happen.Tears spilled down her face without warning.'Giana,' she thought. 'When are you going to stop hiding? When are you going to say what you really think in

"There's no bus stop around here," Oscar said, scanning the road."It's only two miles," Rebecca replied lightly. "That's close."Oscar frowned. 'A girl her age, walking alone out of a place like this?'The Percham District, the city's shantytown, housed more than the poor. It drew drifters, loaf

Diana covered her nose and crouched beside the trash bin. She sifted through the discarded herbal dregs, examining them one handful at a time.With each closer look, her frown deepened. These were common sedative and calming herbs, mild and standard. If something this ordinary could cure Amara's he

Wasn't Oscar supposed to be the most insignificant man in the Chamberlain family? The one who stayed home, cooked, cleaned, and amounted to nothing?He had been thrown out of the Chamberlain house, yet he had managed to escape Dargan on his own?Amara's headache intensified. Before she could sort

Rebecca's voice trembled as she fought back tears. "I didn't steal anything! I just met my brother recently! You're the ones lying!"'If my grandparents hear I'm about to be expelled…' She could not even complete the thought.Her defense sounded thin and powerless."Expulsion isn't your only opti
