Seven Years a Shadow: The Stand-In's Escape novel Chapter 25

"South, please, for the sake of me giving birth to you and raising you, save your sister. It's just a bone marrow donation, there's no risk. Why won't you help?"

"Mom knows you're jealous of your sister, thinking she's better than you, but life and death are serious matters. Don't be foolish."

"I'm doing this for you. If something happens to your sister, you'll spend your entire life in regret."

Her heart-wrenching speech sent the number of viewers in the livestream soaring by tens of thousands.

"This mother's kneeling, and her daughter doesn't care?!"

"How could she not help? It's just bone marrow. Why make things so difficult for your own family?"

"Mom is right, she's just worried her daughter will live with guilt for the rest of her life."

"I'm crying!"

When my Mother saw I wasn't moved, she crawled over on her knees and grabbed hold of my legs.

"South, if you're angry because I took care of your sister more, I'll apologize. It's my fault, don't blame your sister."

"If you help her, I don't care if I die. I just want you two to get along, and you won't have regrets for the rest of your life."

Yuna's husband, Henry, who had been standing stiffly in the corner, finally bent the knee himself, lowering his head in a show of humility.

He knelt straight.

I laughed.

"Didn't you want to hit me in the elevator? What's all this?"

Henry's chest heaved violently, his face turning a deep purple.

He glared at me, wishing he could tear me apart, then smashed his head into the ground.

The floor thudded with a heavy sound, clearly a hard blow.

The livestream exploded with anger.

"This woman's a heartless monster, is she trying to kill her mother and drive her brother insane?"

"We found her! This doctor is from such-and-such hospital, we're going to block her!"

"Anyone nearby, go first! I'll be there soon!"

My colleague anxiously tugged at my sleeve, but I gave her a reassuring glance, signaling her to stay calm.

There were still only about a hundred thousand viewers in the livestream. It wasn't enough.

The East family finally realized this, and it was Sean who came forward.

He seemed to be suffering from gout, limping painfully toward me.

His face was streaked with tears as he looked at me, his gaze soft and fatherly, sending chills down my spine.

I had never seen him look at me this way before, not even when he sent me away.

I rubbed my arms in disgust, avoiding his gaze.

"If you want to kneel, kneel quickly. Don't say anything disgusting."

Sean froze, his mouth hanging open, but no words came out. He just knelt heavily, his knees slamming into the floor.

The livestream exploded again.
