"Why hasn't my sister woken up yet..." A low sigh was heard, filled with deep worry and uneasiness.

Lin Ruan still closed her eyes and lay quietly on the bed, but memories flashed through her mind like a movie.

It turned out that her Lin family had five members: her father Lin Wenlong, her mother Yu Qijun, her eldest brother Lin Xingyu, her second brother Lin Xingyi, her third brother Lin Xingxuan, and her youngest sister, Lin Ruan.

Eldest brother Lin Xingyu is now the president of the Lin Group, overseeing the family business. Second brother Lin Xingyi is an accomplished fashion designer, constantly developing under the guidance of their mother, Yu Qijun. As the founder of a long-established haute couture brand, Yu Qijun is eager to see Lin Xingyi fully develop his unique design style before handing over the business to him and enjoying her retirement. Third brother Lin Xingxuan has chosen to pursue his dream by entering the entertainment industry. However, because the Lin family doesn't want his hobby to interfere with his studies, they've deliberately suppressed his popularity and curtailed his business schedule, resulting in his current status as a mediocre third- or fourth-tier star.

And she, Lin Ruan, is currently thirteen years old. She is in poor health and has to take leave every now and then. She is currently a sixth-grade student at Dexin Primary School.

Sixth grade...

【Why am I not dead yet?】

Several people surrounded Lin Ruan, who was still "unconscious" on the hospital bed, and suddenly a voice sounded in their minds.

"Big brother!"

"dad!"

"husband!"

Several people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, then looked at each other. Father Lin picked up his phone and opened a group chat without Lin Ruan. "Did you hear it too?"

Everyone nodded. The third brother, Lin Xingxuan, typed in the group chat, "I thought it was an illusion. Turns out you heard that too."

He continued, "It sounds like a soft voice to me."

The eldest brother, Lin Xingyu, saw the message in the group chat and approached Lin Ruan's bed. He squatted down and called out softly, "Ruan Ruan? Ruan Ruan? Are you awake?"

Lin Ruan still didn't open her eyes, but her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she heard Lin Xingyu's call.

Lin Xingyu's heart moved, and he called out again: "Ruanruan? Can you hear me? If you are awake, can you open your eyes?"

However, Lin Ruan still did not respond.

Lin Xingyu was a little disappointed, but he didn't give up. He continued to whisper, "Ruanruan, whether you can hear us or not, we will always be with you. I hope you can wake up soon."

[So tired, so painful.]

His voice sounded haggard and tired, as if that of an old man, not a thirteen-year-old child.

[Who on earth are you? Why do you make me say bad things and do immoral things? ]

[I'm so scared, but I can't say it, I can't write it down. No one can protect me, no one.]

[It doesn’t matter. I really want to die.]

The voices in their hearts died down, but everyone's faces were solemn.

What do you mean?

Just as everyone was trying to digest Lin Ruan's thoughts, her eyelashes trembled slightly on the hospital bed, and she finally slowly opened her eyes.

It seemed that she finally saw her family, and Lin Ruan couldn't help but shed tears.

"Baby, what's wrong? Does it hurt somewhere? Can you tell mommy?" Yu Qijun quickly hugged Lin Ruan and coaxed her softly.

Lin Ruan sobbed in Yu Qijun's arms, her body still trembling slightly. Yu Qijun gently patted Lin Ruan's back and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, good Ruan Ruan..."

Lin Ruan raised his head, looked around, and his eyes stopped on Lin Xingxuan.

"Third brother..." Lin Ruan called softly, then paused, her inner voice entering the minds of several people: [Hold on, don't cry, Lin Ruan, you are thirteen years old, you are an adult, don't cry, ah ah ah I don't want to say these words, who can save me? ]

What words?

Yu Qijun and Lin Xingxuan looked at each other. They knew that Lin Ruan's thoughts had been conveyed to them, but they didn't know the specific content.

Lin Ruan looked at Lin Xingxuan.

"Third brother, didn't you just ask why I haven't woken up yet? Are you unwilling to stay here to guard me?!" Lin Ruan's questioning voice came, with a hint of tears in it.

Yu Qijun and Lin Xingxuan were both stunned. They didn't expect Lin Ruan to ask this.

Lin Ruan's eyes were filled with grievance and anger, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Yu Qijun didn't bother to think, she wiped the tears from Lin Ruan's face distressedly and explained softly: "No, little Ruan Ruan, we are all very worried about you and have been waiting for you to wake up."

Lin Ruan bit her lip, seemingly not believing what Yu Qijun said.

"Really? You didn't lie to me?" There was a hint of doubt in Lin Ruan's voice.

Yu Qijun nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course it's true. We have always been here with you and have never left."

After hearing what Yu Qijun said, Lin Ruan calmed down a little, but she was still a little angry.

"Why did Third Brother say that? Does he hate me?" Lin Ruan pouted and asked dissatisfiedly.

Yu Qijun smiled helplessly, "Xiaoruanruan, you misunderstood. Your third brother only said that because he is too worried about you."

Lin Ruan wrinkled her nose. "Humph, I just don't like hearing that kind of talk anyway."

Lin Xingxuan quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Xiaoruanruan, I didn't mean that. I just hope you can wake up soon."

Lin Ruan looked at Lin Xingxuan. Although she was still a little angry, she also understood his good intentions.

"Okay, I'll forgive you this time. But don't say that again next time!" Lin Ruan reluctantly accepted Lin Xingxuan's apology.

It was not until he coaxed Lin Ruan that Lin Xingxuan regained his ability to think and realized something was wrong.

He was still young and full of vigor. He asked hurriedly, "Ruanruan, tell me quickly, did someone force you to say these words? Who was it? Tell me!"

Before anyone could stop him, Lin Xingxuan had already spoken. However, just as Lin Ruan opened her mouth to speak, her body began to tremble violently. Then her eyes rolled back, and she lost consciousness and passed out.

"Ruanruan!" Lin's mother screamed in terror, then called out for a doctor. The ward was suddenly plunged into chaos, a cacophony of voices, a frantic cacophony. After intense treatment, Lin Ruan's condition finally stabilized, and she lay quietly on the bed.

"Mom, you take good care of Ruanruan here. Dad, my brother and I will be out for a while." The eldest brother Lin Xingyu said calmly.

Mother Lin nodded in agreement. But the second son, Lin Xingyi, curled up in the corner of the sofa, picked up his sketchpad, and seemed to express his determination not to leave.

Knowing that his son was always stubborn, Lin's father stopped pushing and simply gestured for Lin Xingyu and Lin Xingxuan to leave with him. After leaving the ward, Lin Xingxuan felt remorseful and punched the wall hard, saying self-reproachfully, "It's all my fault!"

Father Lin frowned and said in a heavy tone, "Yes, it's all your fault. You're already such a grown-up, why haven't you learned to think things through? You act so impulsively and recklessly, and you haven't learned to learn your lesson even after so many times of warning. This time, you actually caused your own sister to have another attack. If you still don't learn your lesson and forget about this matter in the blink of an eye, then forget about making a living in the entertainment industry. I'm really worried that you've offended too many people, and your eldest brother is busy cleaning up your mess all day long, and he's exhausted!"

Lin Xingxuan heard his father's rebuke and subconsciously wanted to retort. But when he thought of his sister still lying unconscious in the hospital bed, he suddenly became like a deflated ball. He lowered his head and muttered softly, "I understand."

At this moment, the previously silent boss, Lin Xingyu, spoke up. He pushed up his glasses and spoke in a deep, serious voice, "According to Ruanruan's inner voice, we know that an unknown entity has been controlling her. If she doesn't speak and act according to the will of this power, it will punish her and make her sick."

"That's true," Father Lin nodded, his expression solemn, "It's all my fault. I took things for granted and always thought Ruanruan's frailty and illness were caused by the earthquake that frightened him when he was born."

Lin Xingyu held his father's hand tightly, trying to calm him down. "Dad, don't blame yourself too much. Don't say you didn't expect it. Who could have guessed that Ruanruan's poor health was actually controlled by such a disgusting thing? And it started almost from the moment she was born. We always thought that Ruanruan's spoiled and willful behavior was just due to her poor health leading to emotional instability, but who could have expected such a terrible truth behind it!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xingxuan's anger intensified. He recalled how he was still an elementary school student when Lin Ruan was born, and how he had welcomed this adorable little sister with joy. However, she had always been frail and sickly, often hospitalized, causing great worry for her family. And when she learned to speak, she would verbally abuse him, tear up his homework, and break his favorite toys. These behaviors had once confused and saddened him, but now he finally understood: it was all caused by that hateful, unknown entity!

It's not that he hasn't felt anger and disappointment.

However, when he thought of his sister's poor health, he couldn't help but soften his heart. After all, he couldn't lose his temper with a patient, let alone his sister. Despite this, he still occasionally felt lost. Sometimes, he couldn't help but wonder if his sister could grow up healthily like other children, would she be as well-behaved and lovely as he imagined? But there are no ifs. It's not that he disliked Lin Ruan, but he couldn't say that he didn't have regrets.

Who knew that all this was manipulated maliciously!!!

Compared to the insignificant regrets in his heart, this truth was hard for Lin Xingxuan to accept. He breathed fiercely, feeling angry and helpless.

His sister has been controlled and tortured by an unknown entity for the past thirteen years!!!

And he, and they, didn't even know what this thing was called, where it was, or what its purpose was!
