Everyone was chatting happily except Lena, who stayed silent.
Lina noticed Lena's sadness and gently asked, "What's wrong?"
Lena looked at her, hesitated, and then said, "I... I saw Nala."
"So, she really is sick, huh?" Toph chimed in, always direct. "I heard Elijah and Kasey have been really upset lately.
My info was correct, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, she's sick," Chris replied softly. "But she's not the same Nala we knew."
"What do you mean?"
"She used to be thrilled to see Lenny, but this time... she actually said she hates her."
They were all confused.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLena had been baffled these past few days.
Lina held Lena's hand and comforted her, "Kids have tantrums, especially when they're unwell. If you visit her
more, she might get back to her old self."
Lena nodded, but Lina had different thoughts. -
The next day, Lina took Persephone for a checkup at the hospital. The 1-year-old Persephone was healthy and calm
during the blood test, captivating the hospital staff.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the hospital, there was a somber atmosphere.
Both were heiresses from wealthy families, one full of life, the other battling illness.
Lina handed Persephone to the nanny and headed to Nala's ward after a restroom stop.
Unexpectedly, someone exited one of the stalls. Lina paused and softly said, "Lenny?"
The woman stopped and met Lina's gaze, following her voice.
"Lenny, you're here too?" Lina asked again.
Sasha's heart sank. She had taken off her mask to relax in the restroom and didn't expect...
Lina turned off the tap and smiled. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I brought Sephy for a checkup and
wanted to visit Nala. By the way, you're here to see Nala too, right? How is she today?"
Sasha kept her composure and adjusted her mindset.
She quickly figured out that the person in front of her must have mistaken her for her sister, Lena. 'She must be
Lina Jenner. No, Pamela Thompson is more like it. I heard that Pamela changed her name after being kidnapped.'
Sasha smiled faintly and said with feigned familiarity, "Yes, I came to see Nala. She's in better spirits today."
"Don't worry too much," Lina said. "Kids throw tantrums. But why didn't you tell me you were coming when I called
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou this morning? You said you wouldn't visit!"
"Oh..." Sasha continued to lie. "I had some morning business to attend to, so I didn't promise to come along. Are
you going to see Nala?"
Lina was about to agree but got a call from the nanny, reporting that Persephone was crying and wanted her
mother.
Lina sighed and shrugged. "Looks like I can't go. But I came to check on Nala. It's okay as long as she's in a better
mood."
"Sure. Take care of Persephone!"
Lina said goodbye without suspicion.
Sasha watched her leave with a smirk, then turned to the mirror. Her reflection was identical to Lena in every way
—figure, height, even her voice.
She ran her hand along the mirror, tracing her face. The cold glass met her fingertips, and the overhead lamp
illuminated her inscrutable smile.
"In the future, everything you have will be mine!" Sasha smiled. "So... you can gradually disappear from this world!"
