Chapter 531 Once (Part Two)
"Back then, the medical level was quite low, so the younger daughter's illness wasn't cured. Now, eighteen years later, the younger daughter felt her illness could be treated, but the father still wouldn't let her seek treatment. The father chose to forget. Perhaps he thought that if she were cured, this suddenly appearing younger daughter would affect the family's reputation. So, the father chose to bury his head in the sand and not let the younger daughter get treated. The younger daughter's hatred for her father and sister grew day by day. The healthy older daughter was like a happy bird every day. She went to college, became the campus queen, pursued by many boys, but she didn't fancy any of them. Until one day, she was spotted by a film company and became an actress. She reached the peak of her career as soon as she debuted. She loved acting so much that she dropped out of college in the middle and starred in many movies, like 'Green Water', 'Sail', and so on." The old man paused, as if reminiscing about how radiant the healthy older daughter was back then.
Chloe frowned slightly. The names "Green Water" and "Sail" seemed familiar to her, but she couldn't quite remember where she had heard them.
"Please continue." Chloe urged the old man.
The old man hadn't taken a single sip of the milk in his hand; he hadn't even touched it. He continued, "Later, this healthy young lady developed feelings for a male star while filming. They spent every day together, both on and off set, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. Eventually, a test revealed she was pregnant. At that time, the young lady's career was on the rise, and she couldn't afford to lose her job for being pregnant. Perhaps she loved the man too much, so she returned home, trying to give birth to the baby there, as it was the child of the man she loved deeply. The male star still had unfinished filming and didn't return with her. Moreover, he knew the actress came from a prestigious family and was unsure if her parents would accept him. He was very timid. The actress reassured him that she would go home first to gauge her father's reaction. But when she returned home, a major change had already occurred. Her father had become a bedridden vegetable, and her younger sister had become healthy, who stood in the living room, smiling at the returning actress, and gently said, 'Hello.'"
Chloe felt a bit terrified, sensing that the younger sister's recovery was too suspicious, and wondered how the father had suddenly collapsed.
The old man seemed a bit scared as well, and Chloe noticed his hand tremble slightly, as if he feared the younger daughter's tactics. "Are you curious about how the younger daughter's illness was cured?"
Chloe nodded.
The old man explained, "The younger daughter pleaded with the old woman who brought her meals every day to ask her father, saying that since the older sister was not at home, they should let a doctor see her. If she got better, she could take care of their father. The father, feeling lonely and old, suddenly remembered he had this younger daughter. His wife had long passed away, and with the older daughter busy with her career, having the younger daughter around seemed like a good idea. He secretly brought a doctor to treat the younger daughter daily. The younger daughter had a strong will to live and recovered quickly. After she got better, she worked out every day. The father was pleased to see this younger daughter, who looked exactly like the older one. However, what he didn't know was that his own death was quietly approaching."
