Chapter 6: Younger Brother? - II

Kim Su Won wanted to feel her soft voluminous blonde hair and her smooth skin. She was quite enamored by her beautiful appearance. Her big eyes were blue in color and she had red lips. If that jerk of her ex had seen her now, would he have called her ugly again? She should have looked at herself in the mirror longer. Anyway, she was Emmeline Whittemore now, the young, spoiled miss of the noble Whittemore family. She hit a jackpot this time. Was it because she was cursing her childhood so much that God had decided to grant her wish?
She just wanted to relax a bit in her fluffy mattress when she heard commotion outside her room. A boy, about nine years old barged into her room. This cute chubby kid had aqua blue eyes, a characteristic of Whittemore family but his hair was jet black. Duke Whittemore, the patriarch of the house himself had silver colored hair, which meant that this kid was, most probably, one of her step siblings.
"Sister Emma! Are you alright?" the sweet kid came in and hugged his sister tightly.
Kim Su Won was quite confused. She did not remember any of the siblings of Emmeline described in the novel apart from her immediate ones, the first young master of the house, Ivan Whittemore and the second young miss of the house, Cecilia Whittemore. They shared the features with their father rather than their mother, with blue eyes and pretty silver colored hair. She was the only one, the third and last child of the same mother who had inherited her mother's blonde hair. Even with such resemblance, her mother had decided that she had too many kids to look after and thus, abandon her.
According to the novel, her extended family was not much important anyway. By the time Emmeline turned sixteen, most of her father's concubines had either died or driven out of the family. Emmeline's mother, Audrey Lazarus, being the mother of first young master, the male heir of the family was also the Duchess. Interestingly, the author of the novel had decided to mix ancient East Asian laws with Western setting. Kim Su Won was not aware of such a weird setting in ancient Western era. But again, her only knowledge about the cultures and traditions came from the webnovels. And these were fantasy novels anyway, so the authors were free to imagine any system.
Now, the issue was, how was she to decipher the identity of this young master here?
From the lack of any response from his sister, the kid looked up. His sister was in a daze. With a cute pout, the kid asked her, "Sister Emma, are you still hurt? Chris is sorry that he came so late. Chris was so worried that sister would not wake up at all."

At the last thought, his eyes became a bit teary. When he had seen his sister being carried in the stretcher, he had hugged his mother and bawled. But all his other siblings were just snickering and almost rejoicing over her misery. If he were strong enough, he would have punched them all. But being lowly born, he was not allowed to even interact with other siblings of his. He just buried his head in his sister's lap, sniffling.
Kim Su Won thought a bit about it. Chris? Was this kid Christopher Whittemore, a kid Emmeline doted upon because he was the son of the concubine of her dad who had raised her as her own till she was five? There was a brief mention of the mother daughter pair in the novel, so brief that she had completely forgotten about it.
Unfortunately, she had not had time to process original Emmeline's memories, so she could not recall the kid right away. But hearing the name brought a lot of memories back to her mind.
She patted the head of the small kid right away. The way he behaved reminded of her beloved sister in her original world, Kim Su Jin. She also got teary eyed and sniffled a bit.
"I am sorry Chris, this sister just woke up. I missed you so much!" she tried grabbing the kid under his armpits and help him up on the bed but she had completely forgotten that her body was quite weak and she was not twenty four years old grown woman. She was half her age now.
Finally getting reassurance from his beloved sister, Chris helped himself on the bed. "Sister, I got you some candy. Here," he took out half crushed candy from his pocket. It was just colored sugar candy, probably in the shape of a bunny. It had melted some and the ears were broken. It looked so disgusting but how could she say no to such a cute kid? She took it from his hand and was about to put it in her mouth when Anna slapped her hand away from her.
"Young miss!" she almost yelled. "You just woke up! What if that has poison in it?"
