Chapter 8

작가: Not Drunk
I watched Dad walk around Sophie, ignoring her desperate explanations.

Then he dropped to his knees in front of my body.

“Rose, I know I was wrong.”

“Wake up, please. Wake up.”

Mom gently took my hand and spoke softly.

“Rose, look. The person who hurt you is here. I told you that people who do bad things will eventually face the consequences.”

“Don’t worry. I will make sure she pays.”

Sophie staggered back, panic spreading across her face.

“Daniel, Mrs. Dawson, you must have misunderstood.

  • After My Death, Dad Finally Regretted Everything   Chapter 9

    I covered Mom’s ears, not wanting her to hear those words.As far as I was concerned, I would have done anything to bring Mom back.Mom watched Sophie being taken away as the house fell silent once again.She returned to the bedroom and took my hand again.“She was right, Rose.”Before she could finish, tears as large as raindrops fell onto the back of my hand.“I knew exactly what kind of person she was, yet I still left.“I chose to live for myself again, but in doing so, I abandoned you.”I shook my head desperately.No!Mom, that wasn’t true!You only wanted to live for yourself again.Before you were a mother, you were a person in your own right.But it was useless.My voice couldn’t reach her ears.My arms passed straight through her shoulders.I held Mom, but she couldn’t feel a thing.Dad walked in from the living room and knelt in the bedroom doorway.He stayed there for a long time, until darkness fell again, until the officers came to take away my little body.Mom bent down

I came to see her every day and cooked for her. Maybe Rose ate something she shouldn’t have…”I stuck my tongue out at Sophie in disgust.I would never eat random things!Mom had taught me better.“Are you saying Rose ate the cat food herself?”Mom looked up at her.“You must have deleted all of Otto’s data, right? The security footage, feeding records, and operating logs—you erased them all.”Something seemed to cross Mom’s mind, and she gav

    Her voice was hoarse, yet carried a quiet firmness that allowed no argument.Dad pressed the answer button. On the other end, Sophie’s voice was syrupy and sweet.“Daniel, is Rose all right? I left in such a hurry yesterday that I forgot to tuck her in.“She didn’t catch a cold, did she? Should I come by and check on her?”Mom said nothing. She simply listened with an expressionless face.I floated behind her and watched her profile, suddenly overcome by unease.I had a sinking feeling that Mom was about to do something drastic.She picked up the phone and spoke in a frighteningly calm voice.“Hello? It’s me.”There was suddenly silence on the other end.After a long pause, Sophie finally spoke.“Mrs. Dawson? You’re really back?”Even I could hear the false sweetness in Sophie’s voice.Mom heard it even more clearly.“Mrs. Dawson, while you were gone, Daniel missed you terribly. He told me more than once that he had to bring you back, and he finally did it. I’m truly happy for him.”M

  • After My Death, Dad Finally Regretted Everything   Chapter 6

    Mom’s voice was soft, as if she were afraid of waking me.But this time, I didn’t open my sleepy eyes and call her Mom in that soft, childish voice.“I’m home. Should I make you scrambled eggs? I’ll add just a little sugar—the way you like them.”I let out a happy squeal, and drool slipped from the corner of my mouth.Mom’s scrambled eggs were the best.Even Dad couldn’t make them taste the same.When Dad heard that, he fell silent for a long time before telling me, “No one makes it like your mom.”…“You’ve eaten so much candy you already have several cavities. I wasn’t here to keep an eye on you. Did you secretly eat more candy?”I shook my head and puffed out my chest.I hadn’t secretly eaten any candy!Besides, Dad hadn’t bought me any candy since Mom left.My confidence suddenly faded, and I slumped behind Mom.“I bought you a new hair clip. It’s pink, with a little flower on it. Open your eyes and see if you like it.“I’m not going anywhere ever again. I’ll never leave you again.

  • After My Death, Dad Finally Regretted Everything   Chapter 5

    Mom stood frozen, as if someone had nailed her to the floor.Dad squeezed past her and flipped the light switch on the wall.The lights came on.The living room was empty, and a thin layer of dust covered the coffee table.Otto stood in the corner, its eyes flickering when it detected their arrival.[Administrator detected. Welcome home.][Pet Mode activated. Please confirm that Rose is to be fed five pieces of cat food each day.]Mom’s expression changed instantly.“Daniel, is this what you call taking care of Rose?”Dad opened his mouth.“Sophie said Rose was fine… I didn’t know how…”He suddenly stopped, remembering the calls I had made to him.Mom didn’t ask anything else. She turned and walked toward my room.“Rose? Are you in there? I’m home. Open the door.”I followed behind Mom and shouted as loudly as I could.“Mom, I’m here!”But Mom could no longer hear me.Mom rushed into the room, searching everywhere, but couldn’t find me.Desperate, she searched the entire house. At last

  • After My Death, Dad Finally Regretted Everything   Chapter 4

    “She’s lying! Sophie is lying!”I planted my hands on my hips and glared at her.Ever since Dad took me to the lab, I began to feel that something in our home had changed.Mom smiled less and less, while Dad came home later and later.Sophie, on the other hand, started coming over more often.She brought me toys and laughed as she pinched my cheeks.Mom watched it all with a cold expression, her eyes filled with something I couldn’t understand.Only later did I realize it was the despair of watching her family slowly fall apart—the despair that consumed her until the day she left this world.No one knew where she had gone.Dad went mad, searching everywhere and questioning everyone in an attempt to find a clue about where she went.Sophie came running over soon after. She hugged Dad and cried.“Don’t be like this. She’ll be all right.”At the time, I thought she looked heartbroken.She must have cared about Mom very much.Now, thinking back on it, I only felt sick.Sophie was about to
