"Lisa? What is this all about?" I heard Reese asked as we talk in her room that night. She looked at Mom and then shifted back to me.
I made a half-smile. "You heard it right. I'll be playing Princess." I answered and showed her the folder that Mom gave me yesterday. This is the profile of every person in Reese's life right now. I have to learn who these people are and who they are to her to play her part right.
"Is that why Secretary Chaeyoung is here?" Reese asked, looking at the beautiful lady in her sophisticated office attire next to Mom.
The beautiful secretary smiled and gave us a short wave. "Hi. It's nice to see you, Reese. You look healthier."
Reese smiled. "Thank you." She answered briefly. Then shifted to Mom. "Mom, I thought we're just going to tell the family that I'll be in the US for my recovery? They knew about my pancreas. We can use that as an excuse to keep me here."
Mom sighed. "Reese, all I wanted for you is to recover. I can't tell how long you needed. I just want you to be better, sweetie."
"She's right, Reese." Dr. Jung said and looks at her. That's right, not just look. Lovingly stared at my sister, perhaps. Man, this boy is so into my twin. I mean, who wouldn't? That Jeon guy is such a dick cheating on her. What a twat.
"You just can't show up to them right after your scheduled therapies. Your physical changes will be very much visible to them." Dr. Jung continued, instantly making me pissed.
"Wait, what? They didn't know she's sick?" I asked Dr. Jung and then shifted to Mom. "Mom, are you serious?"
"Lalisa, please understand. We need to keep it to keep the marriage too. This is our fortune." Mom answered in a very calm way but I raged in a seconds.
"Fortune?!" I repeated. "Jesus Christ, Mom! She's your daughter! Not a fucking card for poker to get these fortunes that means nothing! You exchanged me with it! You chose to believe I am just a lamb for Reese and now you're using her for money?!"
"Lisa." Reese called and touched my arm. "Please."
I paused and just watch her. She gave me a small smile and nodded for me to ask for my understanding again. She's just a pain in the ass sometimes. If only I don't love her this much.
I released a heavy sigh, giving up. "I am doing this for you." I said and covered her pale hands with my tan ones. "And for Dad. For the both of you to be better."
"It is your best decision, Lalisa." Mom said.
"Mom, for the record, if you don't have my Dad in the next room, I wouldn't be in here in the first place." I said, glaring at her.
"And let your sister die?" She asked, making me clenched my jaw.
"Well maybe if that Jeon family will know about her being sick, they would've done everything to save her. Not like this." I answered. I heard Reese released a heavy sigh beside.
