I Died in The Deep Sea for My Sister's Dream Novel by Summer Firefly

But my mother didn’t seem to find anything wrong. Her face lit up with a broad smile as she took Eric’s hand. “You already call me Mom, so it doesn’t matter who you marry.”

“To tell you the truth, Evie’s been thinking about you all these years too. She hasn’t dated anyone else…”

They shamelessly discussed swapping brides, while I was nothing more than a discarded pawn!

They were so engrossed in their conversation, completely forgetting that I was still floating somewhere on the surface of the ocean.

It wasn’t until dusk, when my mother’s stomach growled, that she pulled out her phone, her face showing clear annoyance as she dialed my number.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“That wretched girl, just got back and now she’s nowhere to be found. Pretending to feel unwell? Ha, she’s got plenty of strength!”

She cursed under her breath, as if I wasn’t her daughter at all.

Eric, however, seemed to remember something. “Mom, did you see Aria after you got back?”

“Evie’s health is the priority. How could I think of anything else? Isn’t that your job?”

My mother paused, and they exchanged a glance, a flicker of unease crossing their faces.

From years of knowing them, I could tell their anxiety wasn’t for my life or death—it was about being entangled in a suspicious tragedy.

“I’ll make some calls. That troublesome girl! If I’d known this would happen, I wouldn’t have brought her along.” My mother finally stood, spitting out her words with disgust as she walked out.

And I felt tears welling up.

I never wanted to be here in the first place!

Why was all the blame thrown on me?

It was Evie who wanted to come diving here. She was afraid to go alone, and Mom, claiming her age made it inconvenient, forced me—someone who had never dived before—to go with her!

Eric’s expression remained unchanged, as if he agreed with my mother’s words.

They stayed by Evie’s bedside, caring for her, completely unconcerned about me.

Soon, the rescue team returned with their report.

“The woman who came back with you has gone missing.”

No one cared about a useless corpse, especially when there wasn’t a single person willing to care about me.
