I Died in The Deep Sea for My Sister's Dream Novel by Summer Firefly

It turned out that the soul could feel pain as well.

After Evie’s disappearance, the two of them searched frantically, as if possessed.

Without their passports, they were stranded and unable to return home.

After the events of that year, my Mom had grown accustomed to keeping all valuable possessions close to her.

Evie had essentially taken away all their wealth, cutting off their means of survival.

Watching their ugly faces, I couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing.

It seemed that when people reached the depths of despair, they could completely disregard past affections and bonds!

Eric rarely stayed, only getting a few hours of sleep each night.

Their most pressing concern became food; to survive, they scavenged near dumpsters and even watched the passing customers.

A bucket of cold water splashed onto Evie’s head, startling her awake as her eyes widened in disbelief, slowly regaining consciousness.

“Where have you taken our belongings, you little whore?” my Mom demanded coldly.

Recalling all the experiences from the past days, Eric couldn’t contain his anger. He raised his arm and struck Evie across the face.

The pain elicited a sharp cry from Evie. Given her recent experiences, fear gripped her, and she trembled as she sincerely pleaded for mercy.
