Semua Bab The Runaway Sister: Bab 1 - Bab 10

After being discharged from the hospital, I returned home to hear laughter pour into my ears the moment I opened the door.All the prominent members of the family were there, and the air was filled with the scent of expensive perfume.Elio and my three brothers gathered around Alyssa to celebrate her birthday.In the center of the crowd, Alyssa was smiling brightly. There was no sign of weakness on her face, nothing that suggested she had needed the combined efforts of every top specialist in the hospital to save her life, let alone any trace of cancer.When they saw me come back, the tenderness on the four men’s faces disappeared.The way they looked at me turned cold again, just like it had been five years ago. It was as if the extreme affection I’d received during the time Alyssa was gone had never existed.Now that Alyssa was back, the dream shattered.“Didn’t you say you were about to die? Aren’t you perfectly fine?” Marcus, my eldest brother, looked at me coldly, as if he

The Saalfelds’ last soldati was killed on the spot.Concerned, the four men immediately checked Alyssa for injuries. After a moment, they finally noticed that during the struggle, a small patch of skin on her arm had been pulled red.“Alyssa is hurt!”“Let me see!”“It’s red already! Get the medicine, quick!”In the end, it was a young bodyguard who noticed my gunshot wound and helped me up.“Hang on!” the bodyguard shouted in panic as he looked at my terrifying injuries.Meanwhile, the four men only focused on carrying Alyssa toward the car, as if she were the one who had suffered a life-threatening wound.By the time I was carried back home, I was in so much pain that I couldn’t even speak.The bodyguards hurried off to call a doctor, and in no time, I was left alone in the room.My phone suddenly rang.“Miss Luna, we still need some additional information for your private island order.”Enduring the intense pain, I replied hoarsely, “Alright. Please handle it as soon as

“Does anywhere else feel uncomfortable?”The moment Alyssa opened her eyes, the men immediately gathered around her, their faces full of concern.Marcus stroked her head and said, “Don’t do something so dangerous again. We’ll worry.”Alyssa’s eyes reddened, and she clutched Elio’s hand. “I’m sorry. I was just too scared. Running away from the wedding back then was really my fault. I was afraid you wouldn’t want me anymore…”She lowered her head and sobbed softly. The men immediately felt heartache.The three brothers comforted her at once. “Don’t be afraid, Alyssa. That happened long ago. We’ll stay with you.”Yet unease suddenly surged in Elio’s heart, as if something was about to be lost forever.Alyssa noticed his distraction. “Elio, you’re not saying anything. Do you still blame me?”Elio quickly patted her hand. “No. Don’t overthink it.”The doctor pushed the door open and walked in.Everyone immediately asked, “How’s Alyssa’s condition?”“This young lady isn’t—”“Ow!”

Elio searched every inch of the bridge, then boarded a boat and braved the rough waves to comb the surrounding waters.In the end, he even dove into the sea himself to look for her.However, no matter where he searched, there was not a single trace of Luna.Two days later, he returned home in despair.Alyssa came forward. “Elio, you look like you’ve aged years. I know you’re worried about Luna. No one wanted this to happen. But once someone is dead, they’re dead. You—”The look Elio shot at her cut off the rest of her words. It was a kind of viciousness she had never seen before, as though her fate would be no better than those traitors he dealt with if she said even one more word.Alyssa froze, her eyes reddening. Then she turned and ran out.Elio instinctively took a step after her. However, just as his foot moved, a sudden doubt stopped him.He thought about the five years he had spent with Luna. How had they ended up like this?At the wedding five years ago, Alyssa had r

Alyssa felt a surge of panic rise in her chest.She forced herself to stay calm. “I don’t blame you for what happened today. I knew you were just in a… Ah!”Elio slapped Alyssa hard, sending her to the floor.Half of her face swelled instantly. She stared at Elio in disbelief, tears flooding her eyes as she trembled and demanded, “You hit me? How could you hit me?”Elio didn’t explain. His fury only intensified as he grabbed her by the throat. “Alyssa, do you really have a brain tumor?”The question made the three brothers’ eyes widen in shock as they stared at Alyssa.Could it be that even her illness was a lie?Elio threw her back onto the floor and tossed a stack of documents at her. The sharp edge of the paper sliced her cheek, but no one stepped forward to care.“Read it! This is everything I had investigated just now. What else do you have to say?!”Marcus crouched down and picked up the scattered papers.“…No abnormalities found in the brain.”Holding the report, he l
