Substitute No More: The Sister They Lost Chapter 11
Sarah kneeled before my headstone, trembling all over. Thomas pulled out a stack of yellowed photographs from his suit pocket, throwing them one by one in front of her."Your mother was our dad's mistress."In the photos, a beautiful woman stood beside young Dad, her eyes greedy."She used to be a maid at the mansion, then she became Dad's lover."Joseph continued, "After she got pregnant, Dad gave her money and told her to leave. But she secretly gave birth to you."Sarah's eyes widened, her lips trembling. "No... That's impossible...""And Cynthia..." Joseph's hand touched my headstone, his voice breaking. "She was our real sister."Thomas crouched down and grabbed Sarah's chin, forcing her to look at the photo on the headstone. "Your mother went crazy wanting you to become a Sinclair when she learned the family's newborn was a girl."She orchestrated the kidnapping when we took Cynthia out to play. She then planned to wait until you were older so that the age difference woul

Joseph's voice was hoarse. "What made you think of doing this test?"Thomas' voice was weary as he pulled out a cigarette and lit it, taking a deep drag. "The hospital absolutely refused to release the body, saying we had to prove our relationship to her."Joseph was stunned. "But everyone knows Cynthia was adopted.""I know!" Thomas shouted desperately for the first time. "So I didn't hold out any hope! But then… Then..."He pointed at the reports, his voice breaking. "The genetic similarity... is extremely high. God guided us to save our lost sister, and we killed her with our own hands!"Joseph's eyes were vacant, as if his soul had been ripped out. Meanwhile, Sarah was trembling violently. Minutes ago, she had been throwing tantrums, confident in her position as their real sister.And now, the very leverage she had been counting on for survival had been completely shattered."No! Impossible!" she screamed, lunging for the reports on the floor, trying to tear them apart."Yo

I floated closer to look. It was a text message from the cemetery. "Ms. Sinclair, your reserved plot at Pine Hill Cemetery, Section C, Lot 15, is still awaiting your deposit."Oh, it was the burial plot I couldn't afford."So, that day..." Joseph also remembered, his voice hoarse. "She wasn't throwing a tantrum. She really was dying..."And he had frozen my cards, publicly humiliated me, called me a fake, and thrown me out of the house."Argh!" Joseph grabbed his hair with both hands, his body curling up in agony.Thomas grabbed the phone and scrolled through the remaining notes, his face growing paler by the second."Thomas, our sister... is really dead." Joseph collapsed to his knees, letting out a desperate wail. "We swore we'd love her forever, but what did we do?"Thomas took a deep breath, struggling to maintain his composure. "Joseph, go home.""Home?" Joseph looked up in confusion."Go home and choose the best burial plot for Cynthia." Thomas' voice was quiet. "The qui

Joseph and Thomas took Sarah's medication to the lab for testing. The results came back quickly, and they were indeed vitamins."She lied to us." Thomas stared at the report, his hands trembling slightly. "Her panic attacks, her allergies… They're all fake."Joseph's face turned ashen, his chest heaving. If the illness was fake, then what about her tears and protests?"Let's go to the hospital!" Joseph's eyes were bloodshot. "Now! We're going to bring Cynthia home!"They stormed into the hospital. Thomas' glasses had gone crooked from running as he bellowed, "Give us Cynthia's body!"It was still the same kind doctor who looked at the two usually high-and-mighty CEOs with disdain. "Mr. Sinclair, are you joking? If Ms. Sinclair's corpse could speak, she'd definitely tell you to get away and not to touch her!"I floated nearby, unable to help nodding in agreement."She's our family!" Joseph was still struggling, trying to use family relations to pressure her."When she was alive,

The doctor stepped aside to let them see my body clearly. My skin was gray, my lips purple.Thomas' pupils contracted sharply as he blurted out, "Is this really Cynthia?"The young woman on the bed was terrifyingly thin, almost skeletal. In his memory, though I was slender, I had been healthy.Joseph's voice was hoarse. "What was the cause of death?""Late-stage pancreatic cancer, combined with severe allergic reaction and organ failure," the doctor said coldly. "But what was truly fatal was..."She lifted a corner of the white sheet, revealing the large bruises covering my body. "Ruptured pancreas from violent assault.""Thomas." Joseph stared at the bruises on the corpse, his voice strained. "When was Cynthia's last physical exam?"Thomas looked as if he had been struck hard and raised his head in confusion. "I can't remember... Maybe three years ago?"Sarah had returned three years ago. From that day onward, they never cared about me again, nor did they even look at me caref

"Mr. Sinclair, are you deaf or insane? I've made it very clear that Ms. Cynthia Sinclair is dead!"Joseph let out a cold laugh. "What kind of trick is she playing now? She's even faking her death now?"The doctor ended the call directly, her chest heaving violently as she couldn't help but curse under her breath. "Hopeless fool."I floated beside her, nodding in agreement. I should've disappeared after death, but for some reason, my soul remained in this world. I felt no sorrow nor joy, only the calm detachment of a spectator.Well then, I would see how they would handle my death. After the call ended, Joseph and Thomas looked at each other."She's dead? This is getting more ridiculous by the minute," Joseph sneered.Thomas felt somewhat guilty. "City General Hospital wouldn't cooperate with her lies."Sarah happened to return from outside, looking worried. "What's wrong?"Joseph said briefly, "The hospital says Cynthia is dead."Sarah's expression stiffened for a moment, but
