Heather entered the house and heard a commotion in the kitchen. She entered the kitchen to check what was happening when she saw Hannah. Heather’s face darkened as she asked sternly, “What do you think you’re doing?”
Hannah was surprised when she heard her sister’s voice. Her hand that held a pot cover trembled. The steam from the pot scalded her as she yelped softly.
“You’re so clumsy!” Heather said frustratedly, “Come here!”
“I-I’m sorry.” Hannah had been apologizing a lot recently. However, she was more obedient than before and hurriedly left the kitchen with a bowl of soup. It was still warm, covered with a cotton cloth to keep the heat inside. The aroma of the soup was appetizing.
“What’s this?” Heather frowned and looked at it.
“I made some soup for you,” Hannah spoke softly, not daring to make eye contact with Heather. She gently pushed the bowl toward Heather, trying to make Heather happy.
“Who permitted you to cook? You should stay in your room until I tell you to come out!” Heather said while undoing the top button on her blouse. She remembered something as she was about to sit and brought the weighing scale over. Then she looked at Hannah and ordered, “Come here and stand on it!”
Even though she did not need Hannah to take her place recently, they still needed to maintain a similar physical appearance. After all, it was in Heather’s nature to always be prepared for any circumstances.
Hannah obediently approached Heather and wanted to step onto the scale when Heather stopped her. Hannah looked at her sister in confusion as Heather drew her lips into a thin line, saying, “Put down the bowl you’re holding!”
‘She’s so stupid sometimes. Why do I always have to tell her how to do things?!’
