Chapter 2

Author: Perfect Timing
"Bernice, I'm so glad you're back home. This is the watch Mom specially gave me. Even though I really love it, I love you more, so let me give you the love Mom gave me first."

Victoria acted as if she had no complaints about me pushing her away. Instead, she took off a watch from her wrist and tried to put it on me.

Seeing her well-behaved and thoughtful behavior, my parents exchanged a relieved glance.

"Victoria, that's your favorite watch. Keep it, honey. If Bernice wants one, I'll get her another."

Mom gently stroked Victoria's head, her voice full of affection.

I pressed my lips together and put on a confused expression, then thought to myself, 'Her favorite? But didn't she just whisper in my ear that Mom has terrible taste and this tacky watch doesn't suit her at all? And didn't she say that Mom is super cheap for only buying an ugly, inexpensive watch?'

'What she really wants is the latest one. Whatever. Even if she's trying to give this to me so Mom and Dad will buy her a new one, I'll accept it. Otherwise Mom and Dad will be so disappointed thinking I don't like it.'

With this thought, I obediently extended my hand to allow Victoria to put it on me. She quickly fastened it on me and was about to lift her head to act cute when she saw Mom and Dad looking at her strangely, their eyes full of curiosity.

"Mom, Dad, doesn't this watch look perfect on Bernice?"

Not understanding the reason, Victoria ignored that bit of strangeness and excitedly asked while holding up my hand.

Based on her understanding of Mom and Dad, they should be looking at her with satisfaction right now and promising to buy her a new one. That way, she could pretend to refuse before getting another new watch.

However, things did not develop as she expected. After Mom and Dad exchanged glances, Mom said to me, "Since Victoria gave it to you, keep it. As for Victoria, I'll ask your father to..."

She paused for a moment. Victoria couldn’t contain her happy expression, but Mom quickly continued, "Actually, never mind. Victoria's had everything she needed all these years. You're the one who suffered out there for so long. You just got home, so please, keep it."

Realizing that things were not going according to her original expectations, Victoria's smile vanished.

My eyes sparkled as I kept looking at the watch on my hand, as if I could not put it down.

In my heart, I cheered joyfully, 'This is so beautiful! I've never seen anything so pretty in my whole life. Is this what it feels like to be loved?'

'Having parents who care about me is wonderful!'

Mom and Dad's expressions grew more and more heartbroken, and they finally stepped forward and pulled me into a tight embrace.

In my past life, I thought Mom and Dad only loved her and gave me their old things because of Victoria's words, so I immediately assumed I was unwelcome.

However, I would not make that mistake again. I could play that game too.

This time I would embrace my parents' love completely. As for Victoria? She would pay for what she did.

After all, the memory of my miserable death was not something I could just forget and forgive.

    "Did you make this soup yourself?" Daniel asked with a dark expression.Victoria, not understanding why, nodded her head."Good, very good!" Daniel sneered through gritted teeth.Then he grabbed a chicken from the yard and poured the seafood soup on the ground.Seeing Daniel like this, Victoria panicked. Even in the dead of winter, cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she sat and looked on anxiously.Soon, the chicken fell straight to the ground and lay completely still. Seeing this, my family understood everything.Dad, Mom and Daniel all had exhausted and incredulous looks on their faces."I never thought that after raising you for so many years, you'd turn into such an ungrateful wretch.”"If it wasn't for Bernice, we really would have fallen into her trap."Dad looked at the dead chicken on the ground with a heartbroken expression, his once straight back suddenly sagging.Mom was already in tears, sitting there in a daze. She could not believe that the little daughter

    Over the following days, Daniel busily prepared everything for my job. Finally, on the last working day before the New Year, he got my work arrangements settled.The whole family sat together happily eating dinner. Even Victoria, who had been upset about the job situation earlier, kept praising me at the dinner table.I had to admit that her behavior during this period had been quite commendable. She not only took care of all the household chores, big and small, but also used her own allowance to buy me many things.This softened Mom's attitude considerably, even though she had been displeased with Victoria before this.Privately, she advised me, "Sweetheart, don't be angry at your sister anymore. She's not bad at heart, just competitive.”"Don't worry, I'll make sure she behaves and doesn't hurt you. I just hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive her, okay?"Looking at Mom's bloodshot eyes, my heart ached. My mother was always so kind. In my previous life, no matter h

    Taking a deep breath, I quickly scraped some off with a knife into a bowl, then poured in a bowl of plain water.Then I rushed back into the room, had Daniel lift Victoria up, pinched her nose, and directly poured the doctored water down her throat."Ugh! Bernice, what did you make me drink? It smells awful!" The awakened and coughing Victoria looked furious, as if she wanted to tear me apart.Mom saw her reaction and stepped in front of me. "What are you yelling about? Your sister was just trying to save you, and look, you're fine now! If it wasn't for her, who knows what would've happened before we got you to the hospital?"She spoke sharply, scolding her without mercy.Hearing this, Victoria did not dare say anything more and just lowered her head, lost in thought.Looking at the disheveled figure sitting on the ground, Daniel straightened up and said coldly,"Victoria, you've really disappointed me."It was like he was seeing his beloved little sister with new eyes."Daniel

    Hearing this, Victoria, who had just entered, lowered her head and did not dare to speak."What's wrong? What happened? Your sister just got back. Why are you suddenly so angry at her?"Mom noticed the tense atmosphere in the living room and quickly stepped forward to ask."Ask her what she's done!"Hearing this, Mom hurriedly grabbed Victoria's arm and asked anxiously, "What happened? Tell me!"Victoria looked up with red-rimmed eyes, gazing pitifully at everyone in the room, then dropped to her knees in front of Mom with a thud."Mom, I got confused and made a mistake, but I swear I didn't mean to…”"It's just that my classmate heard Daniel say he was getting a job for his sister, so she went ahead and put my name down," Victoria cried as she explained what had happened.It turned out that while Daniel was looking for connections to secure this position for me, Victoria had not been idle either.Unfortunately, she discovered that this position was actually being sold by her

    The next few days were surprisingly peaceful. Victoria stopped coming to me with her comments and was out early and back late every day, busy with something.I was pulled along by Mom to accompany her, either shopping at the department store or staying home with her trying different recipes.After living two lifetimes, this was the first time I experienced what it felt like to be truly loved. As my inner gratitude grew, Mom looked at me with increasing tenderness.Every day, she prepared different nutritious meals for me and would not let me do any chores, treating me like a precious gem.Under Mom's daily care and attention, I seemed like a completely different person. My former gaunt and sickly appearance was gone, replaced by the look of a proper city girl. Wearing a newly made checkered dress, I could even turn heads when I walked down the street.Early that morning, Mom pulled me straight over to the department store."Sweetheart, Daniel got his bonus yesterday. Let's buy

    After a while, Mom wiped away her tears.Then she looked at me with difficulty. "Bernice, don't blame her. Victoria is usually very well-behaved. She was probably just misled by someone else. After this lesson, we'll educate her properly. It won't happen again.”"Don't worry. No matter what, we'll always treat you and her equally. I can't gain one daughter just to lose another. Can you forgive me? And forgive your sister too?"Looking at Mom's graying hair, I felt pangs of pain in my heart.If not for my previous life, I probably would still think I was unwelcome and unwanted, but now I knew that Mom and Dad were just soft-hearted. They always believed that their children could be saved, so they refused to give up.Seeing their earnest expressions, I nodded. "I'm fine with it."Then I added in my thoughts, 'As long as Mom, Dad and Daniel are happy, I'm willing to do anything. Besides, Victoria grew up by their side, so it's natural that they would love her a little more.'Hearin
