Chapter 715: Chapter 694: Elder Sister

In order to recover faster, Michael Gordon had no choice but to rest well.

Although Lina Miller’s life was saved, her condition was very serious. She hadn’t woken up until the next afternoon. Mario Jensen just lowered his head and quietly stood by her hospital bed, his eyes swollen from crying.

Ariana Hunt also stayed nearby, but she didn’t dare to speak out. It was still hard for her to believe that a blood test had revealed that she and Lina were biological sisters. She knew that life was full of uncertainties, but she never expected it to be so unpredictable.

No wonder she liked Lina so much. The moment she first saw her face on the screen, she inexplicably liked her. At first, she thought it was because they were in the show business together, and Lina was her idol. Now she realized that it was because of the blood bond between them.

Blood ties were indeed mysterious. No wonder people called her as "Little Lina" ever since she debuted. It turned out that it was not a coincidence. They were sisters!

"Sister!"

She could only mutter these words in her heart. She dared not say it out loud because Lina had not yet regained consciousness, and Mario Jensen had not expressed his opinion. Even though she was now an A-list international celebrity, in front of Lina, she would always be that hard-to-reach, third-tier celebrity.

She had been inferior since the start, when Mario Jensen had started supporting her right away.

Since she didn’t dare to call her sister, she couldn’t call her brother-in-law either.

"Mr. Jensen, you can rest first. I’ll stay here. You can come back later tonight," Ariana Hunt whispered to Mario Jensen. "It will be enough if you’re here when she wakes up."

When someone is in a coma, it doesn’t matter who is with them. What matters is who they see when they open their eyes first.

"Mr. Jensen?"

Hearing this title, Mario Jensen finally looked back at Ariana Hunt. He didn’t have much impression of this woman. If it hadn’t been for Ivy Aretha once telling him that she looked very much like Lina, he wouldn’t have noticed her existence. Later, all their contact was because of Ivy Aretha. She once donated blood to Bianca, so Ivy Aretha invited her to visit their home after she was discharged from the hospital.

Other than that, he had no other impressions of her.

Since she was Lina’s sister, he naturally looked at her more carefully. Indeed, there were some similarities between their brows. But Ariana’s personality seemed colder. He vaguely remembered Lina saying that she only had one person left in this world.

It seemed that her sister had died in her memory and then came back to life unexpectedly. In any case, having a relative who truly loved her was certainly a happy thing for Lina.

But this title...

"Why are you still calling me Mr. Jensen? Do you not recognize me as your brother-in-law?" Mario Jensen’s eyebrows furrowed deeper as he looked at her. "I don’t know how you and your sister got lost from each other, but I know your sister. If she knew you were still alive, she would never give up looking for you!"

Mario Jensen saw Ariana Hunt freeze when she heard this and continued, "When I saved her that year, she was in an abandoned warehouse surrounded by a gang of people. She was about to bite her tongue and kill herself. After I saved her, I asked her why she was so desperate. Guess what she said?"

"What did she say?"

Ariana Hunt asked without thinking.

"She said..."

Mario Jensen sat down by Lina’s hospital bed and gently held her hand that was outside the bed sheet. He kissed her hand and then said, "She said there’s no difference between being dead or alive since her family was gone. She’d rather die clean than live in humiliation, so she risked her life!"

Upon hearing this, Ariana Hunt was stunned. Her blood seemed to stop flowing, but she still continued to look at Mario Jensen, clearly waiting for his next words.

"That’s what she said the first time I saw her. It was then that I decided to make her live a clean life no matter what. After entering the entertainment industry, I’ve always been by her side..."

"So the rumored National Goddess is very arrogant, never accepting individual meals, not accepting any dinner parties, nor accepting any bed scenes or kiss scenes?"

Ariana Hunt spoke all at once. After all, Lina’s arrogance in the circle was well known. This kind of arrogance made her admire Lina, but it also made her helpless. She also wanted to be like this, but she didn’t have a Mario Jensen to protect her. So her arrogance was destined to bury her talent until she met Ivy Aretha. She once thought that Lina was lucky.

But now it seemed that she, too, had gone through hardships just like Ariana had.

"Yes, this is what I can give to her," Mario Jensen nodded. "Lina’s first half of her life was too bitter. She lost her family when she was just a teenager, and she had to live alone in this world. If there was no warmth, she wouldn’t have been able to take it. Even now, she has me and Nirina, but her subconscious still misses her home and her family. She has woken up from her dreams several times because of them. I think when she wakes up and finds out she has a sister, she will be delighted!"

After a pause, Mario Jensen added, "I know you and Lina have suffered a lot over the years. But please don’t blame her for not finding you and not caring."

Since Ariana Hunt found out that she was Lina’s biological sister, she hadn’t said a word until now. She called him "Mr. Jensen," and Mario Jensen naturally thought that she was blaming her sister for not finding her.

After all, Lina had been famous for many years while Ariana was still a third-tier celebrity controlled by a group of old people in Allure International, suffering grievances. If Lina had found her earlier, at least with Lina’s status and position, she wouldn’t have any problem helping her. Moreover, there was also Mario Jensen, the entrepreneur!

When she heard this, Ariana Hunt felt her heart tightened like it was being yanked, and it throbbed painfully. Even so, she couldn’t shed a tear. Her breathing became heavier, and her eyes welled up with a thin layer of mist.

"How... how could I blame my sister?"

Lina didn’t know she was still alive, and she didn’t know that her sister was still alive either. After all, they were only ten years old when the accident happened. "If I knew my sister was still alive, I would definitely find her when I met her!"
