Fake Sick Sister, Real Sick Me

My twin sister Kayla inherited my dad's asthma.

When I was eight, my father died suddenly from an asthma attack, and my mother poured all her attention into Kayla.

Mom would always lecture me earnestly: "Kayla is sick. You're the older sister—you need to take care of her."

But even though I was the older sister, I was only three minutes older than my younger sister.

At twenty years old, the moment I got home, Mom slapped me across the face for no reason.

Kayla, clutching her chest with a pale face, leaned against the doorframe.
