It was a clear and bright summer day, with light clouds and clear. The flawless air and a soft breeze drifting in the sky. The sea was sparkling and shining with mottled crystal glitter under the sunlight.
Swoosh!
A jet plane quickly crossed sea level. Its fierce tail currents grazed the surface of the sea, cutting a several-meter-wide mouth, a flash of light, and the jet plane disappeared in the vast sea at once.
April focused on the control of the jet. A pair of eyes glued to the coordinates displayed on the instrumentation.
“Dr. Brief, are you sure that Cyril is my sister?” April’s voice was full of expectation.
“Quite sure. I investigated it was just because she looked like you. Maybe she was some kind of relative of yours, but after careful investigation, I found some unusual details….”
On the other end of the communicator came the voice of Dr. Brief.
The lady named Cyril had a rather peculiar origin. It was said that twenty years ago, an ocean-going research vessel found her in a floating block of ice when she was examining a frozen area in the south of the Earth.
When a little girl was found in the ice, the ship’s people immediately contacted the local hospital. After some careful preparation to save her, the little girl woke up because of the long freeze but completely lost her memory. In addition to stammering out her name, she could not even remember who her parents were and whether there were other relatives.
The scientific researcher who found her could not find her relatives, so she was put up for adoption with the help of the locals. During that time, the little girl was not adopted until she grew up and went to university to become a researcher at the Capsule Research Center.
“…..at first you said, your family was also shipwrecked in the Southern mainland near a certain island.. The location is a match, but to make sure she’s your sister, further testing is needed.”
Listening to the other end of the communicator, April was already very excited about the detailed account of what happened.
“Definitely, it’s her. Cyril… is Sipriel, and that golden hair, she is definitely my sister.”
Looking at the photo of Cyril passed by Dr. Brief, April confirmed at first glance that the person in the photo was her sister, Cyril.
The adult Cyril’s face was very similar to April’s, and if you put on the glasses, it would be exactly the same as April’s. If not twin sisters, how could they be so similar?
“My sister is actually still alive.” April was so excited that she sped up the speed of the airship’s voyage again.
…….
According to the information transmitted by Dr. Brief, the island where Cyril lived was nearby and not much farther from the mainland, and the airship was already very close.
After a wave rolled over, a black dot appeared at the end of the line of sight.
An island appeared.
That island was relatively large, about twenty kilometers long and wide, with a small city on it. The island was surrounded by white sandy beaches and sightseeing spots. Further in was a green forest, with some villages scattered on the undulating terrain.
“Hehehe, finally, we are here.”
Looking at the outline of the city’s residential area, April’s face showed a bright smile.
After putting the jet away, April put her hands in her pockets. She walked towards the residence of Cyril, recorded in the information.
……..
Knock, knock!
“Coming. May I ask who you are looking for?”
The door opened, and the person who opened it was a dark-haired man wearing glasses, looking well-mannered and scholarly. When he saw April at the door, the dark-haired man froze a little.
April smiled, “You’re Nick, right? Is Cyril here, please?”
“Oh yes, you…. you are Dr. April?!”
The man named Nick wiped his eyes and shouted in great surprise. Nick was also a researcher of the Capsule Research Center but applied to return to his hometown after Cyril’s pregnancy.
“Nick, who’s here….” Cyril, who was wearing a loose coat, came out and was also a little surprised when she saw April.
“Dr. April, what brings you here?”
“Oh my god, you must be Sipriel…” April took Cyril’s hand while Cyril was at a loss for words, not knowing what was going on.
……..
After some explanation, the couple was still a bit incredulous. Cyril looked at April, who had a similar face to her own, and just felt that everything was too incredible.
“Dr. April you say, you are my sister, and my original name is Sipriel?”
Although she had been surprised by the similarity between her appearance and April’s before, it never occurred to her that the two could be relatives.
“Yes, you are my sister Sipriel, who was separated from her family in an accident when she was five years old. I had thought you were dead.” April adjusted her emotions and did not tell the specifics of the accident that year.
At this point, Sipriel’s husband Nick recalled the scene when the old man nearby first found Sipriel, “Cyril was also about five years old when she was found, but lost her memory and only knew her name as Cyril.”
“Sipriel!” April said emphatically.
“Wait, my mind is a little scrambled right now.” Cyril gently bit her lip.
The world-famous great scientist, her idol, Dr. April, was actually her sister! It was like a dream when this kind of thing happened to her. If she followed this, then how old was she now…
Looking at the fair and delicate-looking April, Cyril didn’t know how to express her feelings for a while.
“Do not be nervous. The current technology is easy to determine our relationship.”
With that, April took out a small genetic sequencing machine, pulled a hair of her own, put it in, and asked Cyril to do the same.
The machine ran quickly, and it didn’t take long for the DNA test results to come back with a drop. The test results determined – there was a biological sense of kinship between the two.
“You really are my sister….”
The results of the test forced Sipriel to believe.
“Yes, Sipriel.” April’s blue eyes sparkled with tears as she stretched out her arms and embraced Cyril (Sipriel) into her arms.
The two sisters quietly felt the joy of reunion.
“Sipriel, I heard that you are pregnant?” April touched Sipriel’s belly with interest. The soft belly was already slightly bulging, with a brand new life being birthed inside.
Sipriel glanced at Nick and mewled, “It’s been four months.”
“What are you going to name my nephew or niece?”
“According to Nick’s hometown, if it’s a boy, it will be called ‘Lapis’, and if it’s a girl, it will be called ‘Lazuli’!” Sipriel said easily, with a happy look on her face.
“Lapis, Lazuli…” April mouth recited these two names, “…The name is a bit tongue-twisting. “
“I can’t help it. That’s how they are named back home. By the way, sister, after all these years, are you married?”
April became famous for many years, but the outside world has little to report about her personal life. As a sister, of course, Sipriel was concerned about her sister’s life event.
“I have no intention of getting married right now.” April froze for a moment and said in a flat tone.
“?”
Sipriel tilted her head, looking at her sister’s expression. It seemed that she had someone she liked, but why did she say she didn’t plan to get married?
For a while, a strong desire to know surged in Sipriel’s heart.
Because of the dual identity of the great scientist and the righteous sister of the God of Martial Arts, the official government of the Earth had always been secretive about April’s reports. They often took a more official approach, reporting her achievements in a positive way, but did not dare to get involved in her private life.
So for April’s family situation, the outside world knows nothing.
