All Chapters of Murdered for Saving My Sister: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Over the phone, Dad asked, "What? Holly was shot in the library?"As soon as Dad hung up, he turned to me and said, "Your sister got hurt in the library. Mr. Shaffer said we need to get to the hospital right away."Feigning ignorance, I followed Dad out the door. He sped all the way to Droveford Hospital. That place couldn't have been more familiar to me.Mom was the hospital's star neurosurgeon, the best there was. Before long, everyone was gathered outside the operating room.My grandparents from both sides were all there. My maternal grandmother, whom I call Granny, was wiping her tears.She pointed an accusatory finger at me, choking out, "How do you have the nerve to show your face here? Where were you when something like this happened to Holly?"Gramps, my maternal grandfather, didn't say a single word, but the look he gave me was filled with disappointment and condemnation.My paternal grandparents, Grandpa and Grandma, were staring at me with the same look of disapproval

The doors to the operating room opened again. An exhausted doctor walked out before slowly shaking his head."I'm sorry. We did everything we could."Grandma let out a heart-wrenching wail. She rushed in and threw herself over Holly's body, crying her heart out. "My Holly! My granddaughter!"Granny staggered into the room as well. She hugged Holly's cold body as she sobbed. "Holly! How could this happen to her?"Dad stood frozen in place, swaying slightly. Overwhelming grief and remorse were etched on his face. He stared at his lifeless daughter on the operating table, then let out an uncontrollable roar of rage.Even though Mom said she'd be back that evening, she didn't return until two days later.By the time she finally showed up with Trevor in tow, Holly's funeral was already over.A shiny platinum bracelet dangled from Trevor's wrist. The dim lighting in the living room only made it look even more glaring.The moment Mom saw me, she walked over and slapped me hard before

Mom said, "No, Marvin, listen to me. Let me explain! It's not what you think. It's because Trevor's parents…"Panic was written all over her face. Her lips trembled as she desperately tried to defend herself.With a cold scoff, Dad pulled out a photo from his pocket and threw it at Mom's face.In the photo, a younger version of her was in a tight embrace with Trevor's father, both of them wearing bright smiles.Mom looked like she'd been struck by lightning right then. Her whole body went still. She had gone to great lengths to hide this photo in the safest, most hidden spot. How could anyone have found it?I sneered inwardly. Naturally, I was the one who had anonymously mailed it to Dad, along with the old love letters that Mom and Trevor's father had secretly exchanged years ago, which I'd found.In my past life, I had known for a long time that Mom never got over her first love after getting married. She would even meet him in secret from time to time, sometimes taking me with

The man lunged to grab me. I struggled with everything I had, but I was absolutely no match for him.He started dragging me toward a van, cursing at me the entire time. "I was actually going to deal with you much later. You only have yourself to blame for being so unlucky!""Let me go! Get away from me!"I kicked and thrashed with every ounce of strength I had as I dug my nails into the back of his hand."You want to do this the hard way, huh? I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget!"He jerked me forward with even more force.Just as I was about to be dragged into the van, a familiar figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere."Stop right there! What do you think you're doing?"It was Dad!He charged at the masked man without a second thought, and the two of them started brawling."Dad!" I cried out in shock.Ignoring the pain I was feeling, I scrambled to my feet to help him.Even though Dad had a big stick with him, the other guy was clearly much more agile than

It turned out that Trevor was the one who planned Holly's murder from start to finish.Gilbert and Trevor were willing to do anything to get their hands on the Keller family's fortune, including killing Holly. As for the gun, Gilbert had bought it from a hunter in his village. And I was supposed to be their next target.Back then, to get Trevor into the Keller family, Gilbert pretended to save Holly and used the opportunity to have his own wife killed. He then faked his own death.What was even more shocking was that Mom had known about that plan the whole time. But she went along with it just because she wanted to rekindle her relationship with Gilbert.Down at the detention center, Trevor gripped the iron bars, bawling his eyes out. "Mom, save me! I don't want to go to prison!"Mom's eyes were red, and her voice was hoarse as she questioned, "Why? Why would you kill my daughter? Haven't I treated you well enough?"When Trevor realized that Mom wasn't going to help him, his face
