All Chapters of My Sister Faked Her Paralysis: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Watching this scene unfold, my spirit trembled uncontrollably. Had Rosie's disability been fake? Then why had I spent all these years atoning for it?Mom quickly comforted Rosie. "Honey, if you hadn't pretended to be disabled, she wouldn't have willingly served you. The fortune teller said that only by making the jinx suffer and having her serve you, the lucky one, would our family continue to prosper."Dad chimed in as well. "Exactly. After all, the three of us worked together to deceive her back then. You can't let the truth slip now."So even the kidnapping that had haunted me for my entire life had been a scheme the three of them planned together.I floated in midair, and my eyes were wide with fury."Come on, Rosie. Forget about that buzzkill."Dad poured another glass of juice for Rosie and raised it with a smile. "Here's to Christmas Day! I wish you good health and happiness every day! As long as you're here, our family will always be complete!""Thank you, Dad. Thank you

I was dragged along by an invisible force. It forced me to follow the three of them to the hot spring resort.I watched them check into a luxury suite that cost hundreds a night. I watched Rosie frolic in the hot spring pool in her bikini.Mom and Dad stayed nearby while handing her fruit and taking pictures of her.They ate expensive food, drank wine, and talked about their plans for the future."Next year, we'll go on a trip abroad. As for that brat, we'll force her to hand over her paycheck when we get back."From now on, we'll only leave her twenty bucks a month for living expenses. That way, she won't have money to cause trouble!"I floated beside them. Looking at their horrifically greedy expressions, I felt like an outsider spying on their time together as a happy family.I'd never experienced happiness like this even once when I was alive.During the day, I was nothing but a workhorse. At night, I was Rosie's servant.Sometimes, I even felt like I wasn't living like a

They were gone for another three days.During those three days, they fussed over Rosie at the hospital and had her undergo every examination imaginable.Meanwhile, my corpse continued to decompose inside that sealed room.Three days later, the stench had spread through the ventilation system and permeated the entire building.The neighbors could no longer stand it and called the police.When the police broke down the door, several young auxiliary officers threw up on the spot.Even the forensic pathologist, who was wearing a gas mask, couldn't help but stare at the horrific state of the scene with his eyes wide open."This is terrible. She'd been dead for at least eight days, and her body had also suffered injuries inflicted after death."When the police called Dad, he was peeling an apple for Rosie in the hospital."Hello? Who is this?""This is a call from South City Police Station. Are you Sophie's father? You need to return home immediately."Dad frowned impatiently. "Of

After the old man was identified, he glanced at my parents and suddenly snorted. "Well, well. Isn't this the gullible rich guy I met?""The gullible rich guy?" Dad froze."Of course." The old man sneered. "Back then, I was only passing by your house. I only wanted to con you out of a meal."But your older daughter secretly slipped me five hundred bucks after hearing that I could make her parents love only her."I figured I'd be stupid not to take the money, so I casually told you that her little sister was a jinx and she was the lucky one."I never expected you to actually believe me! Hahaha! Your family was the easiest I've ever conned!"Thump.Dad nearly lost his balance. Mom pointed at the fortune teller, but for a long time, she couldn't get a single word out. "Y-You!"'Five hundred bucks.' I suddenly remembered.That year, five hundred bucks really had gone missing from our house.It had been Dad's freshly issued bonus.Back then, Mom and Dad had searched everywhere and

It was a family portrait.It was the only photo of the four of us together from twenty years ago.In the photo, I was smiling widely while holding Rosie's hand. My eyes were filled with hope for the future.That photo had once been torn to pieces by Mom in a fit of anger.It was because I'd accidentally knocked over Rosie's medicine.I couldn't bear to throw it away.I picked up every single piece, carefully taped them back together with clear tape, and hid it in this tin box. I held it dear and close.Mom picked up the photo with trembling hands and turned it over.There was a crooked line of childish handwriting on the back. It was written with a pencil. The words had already faded somewhat.[I wish the kidnappers had taken me that day. Rosie wouldn't have been in pain, and Mom and Dad wouldn't have been sad. I'm a bad girl. I deserve to die.]That one line completely broke Mom's heart. "S-Sophie. My Sophie–"She clutched the photo tightly against her chest and let out a h
