Chapter 967: Chapter 967 Sister Grace Yarn_1
"You have to let her have her way," they said to Grace Yarn again, for the umpteenth time, "Your sister is not in good health, and as the elder sister, you should let her have her way."
That was the first time Grace Yarn had wept in front of her parents.
Perhaps it was the time she had spent with Oliver Quach that she finally found her true self again.
She did not want to compromise; he was her lover, the man she deeply loved.
Yet Lynn Yarn said, "Sister, do you know? I have always envied you. You have a healthy body, you do well in your studies, and you’re good at drawing. You always effortlessly receive praise from others. But I’m different. When other children could play freely outside, I was confined at home. Although our parents dote on me, to the outside world, only you are known as the Yarn Family’s Eldest Miss."
"Sister, let me have this one thing, please? Didn’t you say you would do anything for me? Then give Oliver to me," Lynn pleaded.
Grace Yarn looked at her sister lying on the hospital bed, her pale but still beautiful face, uttering words that felt so alien to her.
It was never easy for her, excelling in studies and painting. What others could achieve in an hour, she would spend much more time practicing and perfecting.
She had to be the best because only then might she hear a word of praise from her parents or catch a glimpse of their attention.
And during the days when Lynn was confined at home, wasn’t she, as the older sister, always there for her, every moment?
All the grievances Lynn felt were shared with someone because of the so-called "you are the elder sister."
And she had to bear even more.
Lynn had the love of their parents, while Grace only had Oliver.
But in the end, the gracious Eldest Miss of the Yarn Family was still forced to agree to break up with Oliver.
"If this is what you all want, then I agree," she said.
Life seemed so meaningless to her then.
It seemed to her that in her parents’ eyes, there was only Lynn. Watching the three of them hugging each other, thanking her and praising her for being a good sister made her want to laugh.
That same evening, the supposedly seriously ill Lynn left the hospital.
She couldn’t wait to get dressed in her new clothes and asked Oliver out on a date.
The Yarn parents and Lynn thought it would be simple: as long as Grace stepped aside, everything would be fine. But they forgot that someone with Oliver’s personality could never be easily manipulated by others.
Perhaps because Oliver was too good to Grace, they had all gradually forgotten how wild he could be.
Grace Yarn attempted suicide.
She jumped into the sea.
When the Yarn parents heard the news, they collapsed on the spot and had to be taken to the hospital.
It was only in that moment that they realized how wrong they had been.
For years, they had used the so-called "you are the elder sister" to force Grace to take on responsibilities that should have been theirs.
They were both their children; how could they be so blatantly biased?
When the Yarn parents woke up, they cried and asked to see Grace’s body, but Oliver stopped them.
"Grace isn’t dead; I saved her. But from now on, the Yarn Family will no longer have Grace Yarn. My wife, whom I cherish, will be the only woman for me, Oliver Quach, for the rest of my life," he declared.
The Yarn parents came to their senses and nodded in agreement through their tears.
How could they not realize their mistake?
This farce should have ended here.
