when Love Shattered My Prince Appeared novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Ethan had a sister.

Ten years younger, she loved rabbits most of all.

As she grew older, she loved pink rabbits most.

She often said she was from the rabbit planet, come to save the world.

But she didn’t seem particularly fortunate.

Her mother died giving birth to her.

When she was eight, her father passed away.

She watched her brother struggle against predatory uncles.

How exhausted!

She had come to save the world, so she certainly couldn’t be a burden to her brother.

So when household staff mistreated her, she never uttered a word.

When classmates mocked and bullied her for her selective mutism, she only smiled at Ethan.

The one with selective mutism was never Ethan–it was her.

To hide her condition, she often wrote notes to Ethan.

“Brother, school is so much fun! I won’t come home this summer break. Take good care of yourself!”

“Brother, I made another good friend today. Another happy day!”

“Brother, I learned to make little cakes. They’re in the fridge–don’t forget to eat them!”

But her final note to Ethan read:

“Brother, Earth is too bitter. I’m going back to the rabbit planet! Don’t worry, I’ll come back to see you often!”

Ethan was too busy.

School, company–battlegrounds everywhere.

But when the war ended, all that awaited him was a cold body at the bottom of the lake.

She had actually tried to save herself.

She joined many support groups–depression support groups, selective mutism support groups.

Many people tried to contact her.

“Hey girl, are you busy?”
