At the hospital, after the examination, Eve rushed into the ward, flustered and anxious, "How could Audrey lose a whole piece of skin for no reason? What did the doctor say?"
Compared to before … She now wore gold-rimmed glasses and a floral dress, pretending to be a sweet, well-behaved girl.
"Squeak!" I shielded the white mice and stared at her intensely, letting out a warning sound.
Eve quickly backed away two steps, hiding behind Jeff, but the corner of her mouth lifted in a mocking smirk. She was clearly very pleased with my current state.
But Jeff thought Eve was scared, so he scolded me, "Your injury has nothing to do with Eve! Why are you glaring at her? Are you still holding a grudge?"
"Even though you tried to hurt Eve back then, she always tells us she misses you. And you're the older sister, why are you still targeting your little sister? It's been a year, haven't you figured it out yet?" Mom shook her head in disappointment. She continued, "Even if you're sick, you can't look at Eve with those eyes! Turn your head!"
