Born to Suffer So My Brother Learns Chapter 9
Mom opened her mouth, but not a single word came out. Her lips trembled violently, and tears smeared all over her face."Helena, I was wrong. I know that now."I cut her off. "You say that every time. When I was alive, you said you were wrong. After I died, you still said the same thing. But then what? What did you do after that?"You held my photo and cried. You wrote letters. You took pills. Did you do all that because you loved me or because you couldn't live with yourself?"Mom shuddered all over."You couldn't bear the guilt, the loneliness, and the fact that Dad and Irwin both left you. So, you took your own life. You thought you were coming to keep me company, but really, you were running away."I looked straight into her eyes, speaking each word deliberately. "Mom, you have never truly faced me. Not when I was alive, and not now that I'm dead."Mom's lips parted. She wanted to argue, to say it wasn't like that, and to tell me she truly loved me.But the words wouldn't c

On the other end of the line, Irwin's voice was ice-cold."Mom, I'm going abroad and won't be coming back. Take care of yourself."Mom's hand shook as she gripped the phone. "Irwin, do you hate me?""Yes," Irwin replied simply, but it pierced Mom's heart like a knife. "But I hate myself even more. I was the one who got Helena killed, and I'll never forgive myself for the rest of my life."With that, he hung up.Still clutching the phone, Mom sat on the couch in a daze for what felt like forever.The next morning, she went to the bank and transferred all her savings to Irwin. Then, she canceled all her licenses and closed out every account in her name.Finally, she sat down at my desk and spread out a fresh sheet of stationery."Helena, I'm coming to be with you."After that, she opened the bottle of sleeping pills she had been hoarding and poured every single one into her mouth, swallowing them.This time, she finally didn't have to wake up again.After Mom died, it was a ne

After returning from the cemetery, Dad slammed a set of divorce papers down onto the coffee table."Sign it. You've already destroyed this family," he said, biting out each word. "I will not live under the same roof as the person who killed Helena."Mom's face went white in an instant. She threw herself forward and clung desperately to the hem of Dad's pants.Tears burst forth as she screamed, "No, I won't sign it! Tyrone, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I'll change, I swear! Can we start over? I'll never act crazy or cause trouble again!""It's too late." Dad shook off her hand coldly, just the way she used to. "Helena isn't coming back. Every single time I see your face, I'll remember the way she looked before she died."What did you do when she was trembling all over from pain, vomiting blood, and crying and begging you? I will never forgive you for the rest of my life."Just then, Irwin came out of his room as well. With his backpack slung over his shoulders and a sui

That night, Dad finally made up his mind.After contacting the funeral home, he came with two staff members. Using a key borrowed from the nurse, he quietly opened the door to the hospital room.Mom jolted awake instantly. She lunged forward desperately and spread her arms wide to shield me."What do you think you're doing? Don't you dare touch Helena!"Dad stood in the doorway, his voice hoarse. "Rosanna, wake up. Helena is dead. She died at your hands. If you keep stopping us, she won't even be able to rest in peace.""No!" Mom's hair was a wild, tangled mess. "She's my daughter! I'm staying with her! No one is allowed to take her away!"Dad shot a look at the two staff members, who immediately stepped forward, each grabbing one of Mom's arms.Mom kicked and clawed with everything she had, her wails echoing through the entire building."Let me go! Let me go! Helena! Helena—"But she was outnumbered. All she could do was watch helplessly as they carried me out of the hospital

From that day on, Mom went completely insane.She stayed by my body every second, refusing to leave. If anyone came near me, she'd fight them off, as if her life depended on it.When a nurse brought a white sheet to cover me, Mom grabbed a pillow and hurled it at her."Don't you dare cover her! She's still alive! Are you trying to smother her?" she shrieked, her voice so shrill it was terrifying.The nurse stumbled back two steps from the impact, then looked helplessly at the doctor.The doctor sighed and waved his hand. Then, he led the nurse out of the hospital room.The moment the door closed, Mom turned around. The ferocity on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a gentleness I had never seen before.She brought over a basin of warm water and a clean towel. Sitting down by the bed, she gently took my hand and said, "Helena, be good now. Let me clean you up. Once you're all clean, you'll wake up."With her head bowed, she meticulously wiped my fingers one by one, not eve

"Helena, I've already withdr—"But before she could even finish her sentence, Mom's smile froze.I lay motionless on the operating table. My face was sheet-white, my lips tinged blue, and my chest was completely still."Helena?" Mom's voice suddenly wavered. "Helena, I'm talking to you, you hear?"No one answered her.Irwin followed behind, his legs giving out from under him. He hit the floor hard on his knees, tears pouring down his face in endless streams."Helena, you…" Mom stumbled toward the bed, her hand shaking as she stretched it out and pressed her trembling fingers under my nose.There was no breath at all.As if burned, she yanked her hand back. She froze for two seconds, then grabbed my shoulders and shook me like a woman possessed."Helena, stop pretending to be asleep! Wake up! I really did bring the money back—just open your eyes and look at me!"My head swayed left and right with her shaking, like a marionette whose strings had been cut."Helena, do you hear
