Sweet Twins

Chapter 13 Grievance

Nancy was lost in thought the whole day.

She offered to be an assistant to Jessie before the surgery, and this greatly appeased Jessie's vanity.

She realized that she was a little distracted when she got off work in the afternoon. So, she decided to ask Doris out for a meal to help clear her head.

She picked up her phone by accident, and it suddenly rang as soon as it was in her hand.

It was a call from an unknown number.

After hesitating for a while, Nancy eventually decided to answer the call.

"Hello?"

"Oh, my dear, dear sister, it's so hard to find your phone number! You've been back for so long, but didn't even call. Even if you don't miss me, surely you miss father, don't you? You know father had a stroke a few days ago. Now, he can't speak well anymore. If you don't come back to see him and he dies one day, don't say I never told you!" Fannie said in a barrage of words as soon as she heard Nancy's voice on the other end of the line. It rang of mockery and sarcasm.

Nancy was never comfortable with Fannie's choice of words.

Nancy remained silent. She felt that she wasn't ready to return to the family that caused her so much hurt. Not while the pain still felt clear to her like it happened only yesterday.

"My dearest sister, I know that you still hate me for what happened with Caspar. But we love each other very much. We even have a child, now. I think you'd want for your sister to live a happy life too, right?" Fannie said in the same tone of voice. "If you even consider me as your sister, you should at least wish for my happiness," she continued.

"A bitch and a bastard always make a perfect couple! But of course, I wish you're happy with what you've both done!" Nancy said with a viscous snicker.

"Oh, you are so cruel, sister!" Fannie commented. "But it really doesn't matter, my sister. If it will make you happy, you can scold me or even beat me. I'm willing to be humiliated by you, but don't punish father because of your hatred for me. I hope you would visit him before he dies. I don't want him to die without seeing you one last time..."

Nancy ended the call before Fannie could finish speaking.

Their conversation made her feel the anger boil up inside her once more, but she felt cold all over. It was like she was inside an ice cave. Molten anger ran through her veins as frozen indifference overcame her flesh.

She felt like fate had too much sense of humor when it came to playing its tricks on her.
