Her cheeks flushed.
"Only a sister?"
"Of course not. How else would I have traded my unborn child's heart to save you? Luckily, your body didn't reject it. Otherwise..."
Darwin pulled her close by the waist, affectionately pinching her nose.
"I just want you to know—you're the most precious person in my life."
