The sister I hadn’t spoken to in twelve years.
Our argument had started after our mother’s death.
Sarah had accused me of taking our mother’s entire inheritance.
We had exchanged terrible words and eventually stopped speaking altogether.
I didn’t even know she had children.
Robert spoke quietly.
“Five years ago, Sarah called me. She was in a desperate situation.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because she begged me not to involve you. She was convinced you would never forgive her.”
Robert explained that Sarah had lost her job and fallen into serious financial difficulties.
She was raising two children alone.
That was when Robert secretly began helping her.
Emily had discovered everything by accident when she was fifteen and accompanied her father on one of those drives.
