Chapter 723: Why are you so smart?
"Remember when I said my sister died? It turns out she’s actually alive."
The atmosphere in the room grew tense as Tiger’s revelation about his sister being alive left Ivy shocked. She put down her plastic spork, her appetite suddenly gone, and focused all her attention on him.
"Your sister is alive?" Ivy asked, her voice quivering with surprise and confusion. "But you told me she died... like five or six years ago."
Tiger nodded solemnly. "Yes, I did. I believed she was dead for years, but I recently found out that she’s alive. It’s a long and complicated story."
Ivy’s mind raced as she tried to process this new information. "How did you find out she’s alive?"
Tiger hesitated for a moment before he began to explain. "She appeared in front of me. She looked different from what I can remember, but she provided evidence that left no room for doubt."
Ivy’s concern for her own situation momentarily took a backseat as she listened to Tiger’s story. She could see the turmoil in his eyes and the weight of this revelation on his shoulders.
"I’m so sorry to hear that," Ivy said, genuine sympathy in her voice. "That must be incredibly challenging to deal with. Is there anything I can do to help or support you through this?"
Tiger appreciated her concern but shook his head. "Right now, I just need to figure things out. I wanted to share this with you because I didn’t want you to think I had been lying to you."
Ivy nodded, understanding his need for honesty. "I appreciate you telling me the truth. If you ever need to talk or if there’s anything I can do, please don’t hesitate to reach out."
Tiger managed a small smile. "Thank you, Ivy. Your understanding means a lot."
