Alex rushed into the courtyard with his phone.
“Morita, look at the news,” he said, handing me his phone.
It was news about the Green family.
In the video, my parents were sitting on the ground, tears streaming down their faces as they spoke to the camera.
They claimed their daughter was ungrateful, but this time, the ungrateful daughter they spoke of
was Selena, not me.
Five years ago, Charles helped Selena by replacing my liver, saving her life. Later, she

incited the parents to cyberbully me, and I fell out with them and cut off their alimony. Their lives became difficult.
Before I left that city, I had seen online rumors that the Green family, two old vampires, wanted to pair Selena and Charles together. Every time Charles appeared in the hospital, the Green family was very proactive.
But when Charles was dismissed from the
hospital, the Green family immediately turned against him.
Without Charles’s assistance, the hospital demanded the payment of medical fees. Unable to afford it, the Green family was kicked out.
Selena had never had a proper job. After being discharged, she lay at home, relying on her

parents.
Initially, the parents supported Selena, hoping she would earn money or find a wealthy person to change their fate.
Şelena spent extravagantly, and with my parents not working, their savings were soon depleted.
The parents secretly sold Selena’s paintings, only to be told they weren’t worth anything. They then realized that Selena had been deceiving them all along.
That day, the neighbors heard intense
arguments at the Green home, with dishes and bowls being thrown.
A few days later, the parents were kicked out

of their home because Selena had secretly mortgaged the house to a loan shark and ran away with the money.
The parents had to rent a cheap house and take odd jobs to support themselves.
Recently, Selena suddenly returned, her liver disease relapsed, and she begged the parents to give her a new liver.
Of course, the parents refused, as they wanted
to live a few more years.
Selena then invited the media to film her kneeling at her parents‘ door every day, using public opinion to pressure them.
The mother, not one to be threatened, argued with Selena in front of the camera, blaming

Selena for making them homeless. Selena accused her parents of treating her as a cash cow. To gain media sympathy, Selena even brought up my name, claiming that I had been mistreated by my parents since childhood.
Seeing the situation turning against them, my mother said it was Selena’s abetment that they treated me harshly.
After nearly half a year of noise and conflict, all ended with Selena’s death of condition
worsening.
But my parents‘ suffering didn’t end because of Selena’s actions. Their previous deeds were dug up again.

daughter. Landlords refused to rent them houses after learning of their past.
They were once again left homeless, begging the media to help find me, saying they knew they were wrong and asking me to come and see them.
There were also the media that supported them, saying every parent had faults and hoped I would reconcile with them. However, the netizens criticized them harshly.
I smiled as I scrolled through the news, not taking it to heart.
Alex, seeing my reaction, let out a sigh of retief.
I found it amusing.

Suddenly, my phone rang with an unfamiliar number.
“I’ll answer,” Alex said, taking my phone.
After a while, Alex, looking strange, covered the receiver and said, “It’s the hospital. Charles is dying and wants to see you.”
The caller was a former colleague of Charles, who said that Charles had been frantically researching liver treatments, seeking sponsors for money, and drinking until he had stomach bleeding. Without experimental samples, he experimented on himself, causing his organs to rapidly fail. Now, he wanted to see me at the end of his life.
I shook my head. “Tell him I’m sick and can’t go
out.”

“Pah, pah, pah.” Alex quickly spat, ‘silly talk, silly talk. You will live a long life.”
Alex glared at me and turned away, refusing the
call.
I sat on the lounge chair, looking up at the drifting white clouds in the sky.
Charles had personally thrown me into hell. I couldn’t forgive him; it was better to forget each
other.
In the next life, may we never meet again.

My sister and I were trapped in the flames, hearing our parents‘ voices,
“Save Jennifer first!”
My mother’s heart–wrenching cry reached my
ears.
She was calling for someone to rescue my sister.
Maybe it’s because there aren’t enough people to rescue me. I should have just waited a little longer.
But as I waited, I saw a charred body.
