It's my third day of being a ghost, and I feel like I'm going to starve to death again. The underworld messenger takes pity on me because I'm a child and secretly tells me that people like me, who suffered grievances and died with resentment, have to stay by the sides of the people who loved us most in life. Then, we survive on their "guilt". I lower my head and narrow my eyes. I choke up and say, "You might as well just leave me to starve." My mother hated me to the core. Why would she ever be guilty over my death?

This is a present for you two."Seeing that they were about to burst into tears again, I quickly ran toward the light.Behind me, they shouted, "Xenia, may you live a blessed life!"I silently promised them I would.Determined, I leaped into the light. My body became lighter and lighter until I merged into the surroundings.I could finally be delivered from that world!…I suffered for three years in the deepest pits of hell before the god of the underworld allowed me to leave.He passed me a pendant. "Those who commit suicide have sinned.

It was delicious, much better than the cupcake I bought for five dollars.The little boy suddenly looked my way. Pointing at me, he yelped.No one could see me. I walked over and gently held his hand. Then, I covered his eyes. "Don't look. You'll feel bad."I didn't blame him. I was just unfortunate.The chaos ended with Dad fainting in his own pool of blood.Mom dropped the knife. Covered in blood, she walked out of the house like a zombie.She poured gasoline, which she'd prepared in advance, all around the house.

Tears streamed down my face. I couldn't understand.When I rehearsed my speech in class, my classmates were moved to tears.Why wouldn't Mom listen to me?My speech was filled with the deepest adoration I could give her as her daughter.Eventually, Ms. Reed sent her the rehearsal video.I stood on stage, reading out the last part emotionally."My mother works hard and often has to do the night shift. Everyone says she's unlucky, but I never think that way. She mends hearts. She helps the dead to leave this world in a presentable state and the living to say their goodbyes with a smile."She's a guardian angel and also the mother I love the most. I want to take the opportunity to apologize on behalf of the younger me. I'm sorry, Mom. I will always love you."My confession reached her through the screen.

Mrs. Turner hugged Tiffany, comforting her. At the same time, she shouted at Mom to stop.However, Mom couldn't hear her. Her eyes reddened, and she mindlessly yanked the bracelet."It's you! You took my love away from Xenia! You're no match for Xenia. My daughter's the best!"There was a loud slap. Mom's head turned from the impact, and she released Tiffany.Mrs. Turner's hand hung in midair. She had a ferocious expression on her face. "Stop it! You're the one who didn't love Xenia. What has it got to do with my daughter? You forced my daughter to take this bracelet!"She went on and on about the past, about how Mom acknowledged Tiffany as her goddaughter right in my face.

Mom screamed. She swayed, and her knees gave way. With a thud, she fell to the floor. After some time, she returned to her senses.She pointed at the body in disbelief. "W-What's her name?"Someone answered, "I think she's called Xenia Hudson. What a nice name."Another asked, "What's wrong?"Like a puppet, Mom stood up stiffly. Her eyelashes trembled, and she seemed devastated. Reaching out, she tried to caress my face.But alas, what she touched was a chunk of loose meat that would fall apart at the slightest touch.After that, everyone else watched in confusion as Mom vomited a mouthful of blood. Her eyes were bloodshot.In great pain, she mumbled to herself, almost inaudible. I could only hear parts of it. She was asking me to open my eyes.I watched coldly as she wept on my shoulders and fainted in my blood.I felt slightly pleased. Mom, I didn't know you'd cry for me.…It was the third day since Mom locked herself in the house. Endless feelings of remorse drifted into

Mom started feeling uneasy. She hurriedly tidied up the room. Then, she hopped onto her e-bike and headed straight for Dad's house.On the way, she kept mumbling something about me getting into trouble if she got her hands on me.
