My Sister Murdered Her Crush's Childhood Friend

Yvonne nodded. "It's going well. Once Winona dies, I'll be able to marry him without a hitch."

She smiled delightedly as she continued, "Winona isn't my match."

Mom immediately smiled and nodded. "You did a great job, baby girl. I'll be able to enjoy a good life with you by my side."

I ate silently. When I reached out to get some meat, Mom hit my fork away. She glared at me. "What are you doing? Good-for-nothings don't deserve meat. I wouldn't be so annoyed if you were even a little like your sister. You've never had any accomplishments, yet you never stop eating.

"Finish your food quickly and get lost! It's frustrating to even just look at you."

Comments like this were commonplace, and I was already used to them. I went to my room silently after I was done eating.

Yvonne and I shared a room. The five-feet-long bed in the room belonged to her while the thin mattress in the corner was my bed.

It was apparent that Yvonne was in a good mood. She was humming when she entered to sit in front of the mirror.

"Go to the hospital to see Winona on my behalf from tomorrow onward and report to me if anything happens, understand?"

I was taken aback while staring at my textbook. "I have class tomorrow, Yvonne."

She frowned impatiently and looked at me to say, "Why do you need to go to school? You won't be able to earn much even if you graduate with good results. Do what I say and visit Winona tomorrow. Say that I asked you to go take care of her.

"That way, I'll be able to leave Sean with a good impression and keep an eye on Winona at the same time. Do you understand?"

I could only nod. "Alright."

Yvonne nodded with satisfaction. She got up and turned the lights off even though I was still reading. However, I was used to her behavior and put my book back into my bag before lying down.

…

Everyone was still sleeping when I woke up in the morning.

After I was done preparing breakfast in the kitchen, I picked up my school bag and went to the hospital.

Sean was still by Winona's side in the hospital. He sat in front of her bed while holding her hand. His sharp eyes shot at me when he heard me entering the ward.

"Who are you?"

I explained, "I'm Yvonne's sister, Greta. She's busy today, but she's worried about Winona, so she asked for my help to take care of Winona."

Sean looked satisfied with the answer. "That's nice of her. Please thank her for me."

Yvonne would have been delighted to see this.

I had to admit that her plan was successful. Sean was beginning to take notice of Yvonne.

There was no hurry, though. I would slowly reveal her true colors.

Once that happened, the real drama would begin.

I sat at the corner of the ward to read while Sean picked up a few calls.

It was not easy for someone born into an influential family to free up his time to stay in the hospital like this. He had to be extremely busy.

I watched while he frowned. "Mr. Graham, why not let me stay here and take care of Winona? I'll get the doctor if there are any issues. Don't worry about it."

He looked me up and down while trying to come to a decision. He finally nodded in the end.

"Thanks for the help. Please call me the moment Winona wakes up."

He passed his name card to me after that. I took his name card and nodded while I watched him leave.

The ward was finally silent, and there was no one else in the corridor.

I looked at Winona lying motionless in bed and said softly, "There's no one here anymore, Ms. Evans. You can get up now."
