Chapter 382 Heavenly Master 89
Of course, Shuangshuang would not refuse to help. Anyone who sought her assistance was always dealing with matters beyond human comprehension! So Shuangshuang directly asked Zhu Yanhua what she needed assistance with.
Zhu Yanhua’s face bore a faint trace of sorrow. She sighed and said, "I want you to help me find my twin sister. Her name is Zhu Yanling! Perhaps it’s because we’re twins, but my sister and I have been incredibly close since childhood. It’s like we have a telepathic connection, always knowing each other’s feelings!"
Zhu Yanhua paused, her face showing a nostalgic expression, "My sister and I have the same personality and interests. We both love traveling, painting landscapes, and outdoor activities! Since we were little, our favorite thing to do was to carry our sketchboards and go to beautiful scenic places to paint! When we turned eighteen, my sister and I planned a coming-of-age ceremony. We agreed to take a spontaneous trip before starting university, to experience the vastness and beauty of the desert, and then work together to create the most beautiful painting as a memento of our adulthood at eighteen!"
Seemingly caught in a bad memory, Zhu Yanhua’s brow furrowed with a mix of pain as she continued, "Our plan hit a snag right before departure. I got sick, a severe cold with a fever that left my whole body aching! I could barely get out of bed! My sister was very worried about me! She decided to cancel the trip to stay with me for treatment, but I was eagerly anticipating this meaningful journey! We planned this trip for a year, meticulously discussing every detail, every route we would take, endlessly looking forward to it, so I couldn’t agree with my sister’s decision. I insisted on dragging my sick body along with her. My sister couldn’t persuade me otherwise; she had to bring medicine and change our half-hike, half-drive travel plan to traveling entirely by vehicle, and at every city, take me to a hospital for injections and IV drips!"
Zhu Yanhua’s face showed even more pain, her voice already tinged with sobs, "I didn’t expect my body to be this weak. Even with daily injections at hospitals, my condition worsened and turned into pneumonia from the persistent fever! My sister had no choice but to stop and stay with me in the hospital. However, my illness was so stubborn and lingered, while our travel time was limited. We only had this break before university to travel freely, and I couldn’t bear to give up on this plan, so I begged my sister to continue the trip on her own to complete our travel plan!"
Zhu Yanhua closed her eyes, and tears streamed down freely, her voice full of regret! "I was truly so willful! If I hadn’t insisted my sister shouldn’t abandon the trip, we wouldn’t have left, wouldn’t have stayed in an unfamiliar place for my treatment. If I hadn’t insisted on continuing the trip, I wouldn’t have been hospitalized due to worsening illness, wouldn’t have refused to eat because everything tasted bitter from being sick, wouldn’t have made my sister, who cared for me, go out to find something delicious to appease me. If it weren’t for me, if it weren’t for me..."
Zhu Yanhua painfully raised her hand to cover her face, sobbing for a long time before barely continuing, "If it weren’t for my willfulness, my sister wouldn’t have gone missing! My sister disappeared while out buying me food! I reported it to the police and searched frantically with my parents, but my sister seemed to vanish into thin air! Not a trace was left!"
Zhu Yanhua wiped her tears with the back of her hand, "We searched frantically but found no sign of my sister at all! We searched for months, and even the police eventually said they couldn’t find her at the moment! So many years have passed, and our family has never stopped searching for my sister. Many people told us she likely met with misfortune, but I don’t believe it. I can feel it, my sister isn’t dead, she’s waiting for me to find her! But five years have passed! I still haven’t found her, and I’m increasingly afraid, afraid I’ve been wrong, afraid something really happened to her! I..."
