At the orphanage, a wealthy couple came, looking to adopt my brother and me.
My ten-year-old brother, Liam, holding my five-year-old hand, pointed to a dirty little kid with a doll who seemed a bit lost outside the door.
You go play with that kid for a bit. I'll call you when it's time to leave.
Watching his retreating back, a sense of fear made me chase after him.
But then I saw him, standing with Daisy, pleading with Director Anne.
"Daisy is so well-behaved and considerate. Please, let her take Chloe's place and be adopted with me instead."
I stood there, stunned and disbelieving.
The dirty little kid, meanwhile, ran over eagerly and pulled on my hand.
"Our family needs a little sister. Come home with me."

Watching Liam’s retreating back, an unsettling feeling stirred within me.
Ever since our parents passed away, we had been at this orphanage, and Liam had been my shadow.
He’d always said we’d be adopted together.
That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about anyone bullying me.
But now, looking at the dirty little kid who only talked to her doll, I felt a shiver of fear.
After a moment of thought, I turned and ran in the direction he’d gone.
I found myself outside Director Anne's office, where Liam was holding Daisy’s hand, pleading.
"Daisy is so well-behaved and considerate. Please, let her take Chloe's place and be adopted with me instead."
Director Anne looked conflicted, trying to reason with him.
"Liam, you and Chloe are siblings. You're a family.
Are you sure you want to give up on her?
I'm afraid you’ll regret it later."
Liam shook his head firmly. "Chloe is smart and beautiful. She'll find another good home.
But Daisy, she only has me. I need to look after her."
My nose stung, and tears started to stream down my face.
But I only had him.
Director Anne looked at Daisy's face, her honesty tinged with sadness.
"I’m afraid they might not agree."
Liam hugged Daisy. "They will agree.
They only wanted to adopt me anyway.
Chloe was just a bonus, so replacing her won't make a difference."
Director Anne finally nodded. "Alright, I'll ask them."
I peered through the window, watching Liam and Daisy hug each other, seemingly overjoyed.
I couldn’t understand why things had suddenly turned out this way.
The little kid stood by the door, studying me for a long time before finally running over.
He grabbed my hand, shaking his head happily.
"Our family needs a little sister. Come home with me."
My lip trembled, and I yanked my hand away from his.
"Don't touch me. My brother wouldn't abandon me.
I don't want to go with you."
The little kid frowned, shaking his head seriously.
"No, your brother doesn't want you.
I heard him just now."
I burst into tears, pushing him away.
"That's nonsense! I'm going to find out right now."

Inside the office, Liam held Daisy’s hand, speaking softly.
"Daisy, from now on, we're family."
Daisy pressed her lips together in a joyful smile and nodded vigorously.
"Yes, you're the best brother."
Liam gently stroked her head.
I shoved the door open with a bang and angrily rushed forward, pushing Daisy away.
"Get away! That's my brother!"
Daisy stumbled back a couple of steps, steadying herself, and looked at me with hurt in her eyes.
Liam gasped and quickly rushed over to her.
"Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
Daisy silently shook her head, but her eyes were brimming with tears.
Liam turned to me, his gaze full of displeasure.
"Chloe, who told you to hit people? Is this how I taught you to behave?"
I felt a surge of injustice but forced back my tears.
"Why did you replace me?"
Liam looked away, a flicker of guilt in his eyes.
That only made me angrier. I pointed at Daisy, my voice trembling with indignation.
"Replacing her with me? Is that something a real brother would do?
How can you face Mom and Dad after this?"
