Zachary gazed at her, his disappointment evident in his expression.
"Zachary, I need one more favor," Sasha stated, disregarding his mood. "Can you bring Lena here?"
"What's your plan?"
"What else?" Sasha sneered. "It's for a bone marrow compatibility test. Do you really expect me to be tested?"
"You—"
"What?"
Zachary couldn't hold back any longer. "That child calls you her aunt! She's in a life-threatening situation, and you won't save her?"
"Aunt?" Sasha chuckled, her face unfeeling. "What kind of aunt am I? Besides, Lena is her aunt too! Why can't she provide bone marrow?"
"Sasha!"
"Don't lecture me about family!" Sasha glared at him. "I despise it when people use family to manipulate me. Zachary, let me tell you, only one of the twins can survive! So, who are you going to choose between me and Lena?"
Zachary clenched his lips, his face reddening and veins pulsating on his forehead.
"You've seen me grow up." Sasha finally rose from the sofa and linked arms with him, her gaze pleading, reminiscent of when she was younger. "You're closer to me than my own mom."
Zachary sighed weakly. "Sasha, Lena is also your mother's child."
She wasn't content—she desired more. Lena's existence in this world had always fueled her resentment. She once believed that their mother would've been all hers without Lena, and her life wouldn't have been so challenging.
To outsiders, growing up as the daughter of a gang leader seemed glamorous. But only she knew the struggle of counting every penny, even for a pack of spaghetti.
She blamed Lena for stealing the comfortable life she could have had, along with the exclusive maternal love.
"Zachary, don't be upset..." Sasha softened her tone, seeing Zachary's pained expression. "I wasn't angry with you earlier. Don't worry. If you help me with this, we'll return to Southeast Aciatic together! I'll take care of you in your old age!"
Zachary studied her momentarily and sighed deeply, his brows knitted in concern.
"Sasha, please reconsider. I'm starting to regret what we did with that woman in prison... Lena is still the person closest to you in this world. You can't harm her!"
