After I died, my mom finally said her first
words.
Her voice was hoarse.
L
The police agreed.
The man sat in the interrogation room, his
hands cuffed. He seemed dazed, but his eyes
lit up when he saw my mom.
“Ma’am, where is Brittany? Where is my
Brittany?”
“I have eliminated her trouble. She must be
so happy now.”
وو
Mom’s lip trembled: “Did Brittany ask you to
kill her?”
The man shook his head: “Brittany is the
purest angel. How could she do something so
terrible?”
“I saw her complaining on her side account
く
and decided to help her with her problems.”
“Her sister was very troublesome, and it was
difficult to kill her. Before she died, she even
tried to call for help.”
“I think she was calling you.”
“Why didn’t you answer?”

“She was screaming for her mom so sadly…
Mom’s eyes widened. She looked at him,
shocked.
The police hurried to have the man removed
and stopped his rambling.
“Ms. Mandy’s mother, I am so sorry…

Mom turned her head to him, her eyes wide.
“Ms. Mandy’s mother, are you okay?”
She shook her head and said nothing.
But I understood. She was surprised.
Because for the first time, someone called
her like that.
All her life, she was known as Brittany’s mom,
Kevin’s mom.
I was always ignored.
Many outsiders didn’t even know that I
existed.
Because my parents always talked about
L
Kevin and Brittany.
Mom, are you feeling any guilt?
The Final Revelation
My body was cremated.
They took my ashes home.
In the car, Brittany wouldn’t stop crying.
“I didn’t think he would do such a horrible
thing. If he had targeted me instead…‘
“”
She dared not think of what might have
happened and threw herself into Mom’s
embrace.
“Mom, I’m so scared!”
<
But Mom didn’t hug her back or comfort her
as she expected.
Instead, she sat there, playing with her phone.
She panicked, pulling on her sleeve and
crying.
“Mom, are you blaming me?”
“It’s really not my fault. The police checked it
out, you know that!”
“Boohoo, I’m actually very sad that my sister
died.”
She covered her head and moaned, acting
like she was about to have a depression
episode.
L
Kevin felt pity for her and quickly tried to
console her: “Mom loves you the most, she is
not blaming you. Don’t overthink it.”
“Mandy has really bad luck, she must have
been cursed to have caused her own death.”
Mom suddenly looked up: “What did you just
say?”
Kevin was a bit embarrassed. He knew how
hurtful those words were.
“She is your sister, and she died because of a bad person. She didn’t cause her own death!”
Kevin nodded, a surprised expression on his
face.
This was the first time his mother had
<
emphasized that I was his sister too!
の
Brittany knew that she was losing the support
of the family, her eyes became filled with
darkness.
Her cries were even louder now. She kept
calling for her mom.
But Mom didn’t respond..
Dad was angry. “Your daughter is calling you,
are you deaf?”
Mom held up her phone to Brittany, her eyes
filled with coldness.
“You said on your side account that your
sister stole your boyfriend, bullied you, and
abused you since you were little? Why lie?”
