On my eighth birthday, I begged my mom to video call my dad, who was supposedly working late. The moment the call connected, a version of him from ten years in the future appeared on the screen. My mom held me close and smiled, asking him, "Ten years from now… our Lily has grown up. Was her coming-of-age ceremony a big celebration?" Dad replied coldly, "She kept trying to one-up Sarah's kid, so I sent her abroad. Too bad her luck ran out—her plane went down." My mom's face went pale. On the other end, my dad let out an icy laugh. "Claire, back then, you lied to me. You said if your 'plan' didn't work out, you'd die. I believed you. I gave up Sarah and her child to marry you." My mom's body started trembling. I reached out toward the screen. "Daddy, when are you coming home to celebrate my birthday with me?" Dad sighed and looked at her calmly. "The truth is, I wasn't working late that night. I was celebrating Sarah's daughter's birthday. Now you know everything. What you do next is up to you." Suddenly, a cold robotic voice echoed in my ear: [Host, do you choose to abandon the original world and stay here forever?] I wiped the tears off my mom's face and, barely understanding what was happening, said, "Mommy, does that mean Daddy doesn't want us anymore? Then let's not want him either. Okay?"

A thin figure suddenly threw herself at my dad. "David, David, I was wrong. You came to save me, didn't you?"The hunched woman glared at us with venom. "Get away from him. David is mine."Her face and body were covered in horrifying scars.I stared at her for a long time before I finally realized—it was Sarah.My mom was completely stunned too. "You... Sarah? How did you end up like this?"My dad's eyes were cold, without a trace of pity. "She didn't deserve to be saved by you."It turned out that after we disappeared, he had uncovered the whole truth.He hated Sarah with every fiber of his being. He personally sent her back to her original home."She belongs rotting in that mountain village, not standing in front of us."My dad sent her back to the village idiot she had been promised to. She was tortured every single day. She lived worse than a dog.Later, she couldn't take it anymore and tried to run away. But in the process, she accidentally caused her own daughter, Fiona

I wasn't actually asleep. The moment my head touched the bed, I was wide awake.I heard every word of Liam's conversation with my mom.His voice was low and gentle. "Claire, please stop avoiding me. I've always loved you. And I regret so much that I didn't tell you sooner. I always thought there would be more time. I never expected to lose you like that."His voice cracked. "But thank God. Thank God you're back in my life. I know you have a past that still hurts you. Even if you won't accept me, that's fine. Just as long as you're alive. I just want to be here whenever you need me. I want to take care of you and Lily."My mom was quiet for a very long time. Finally, she spoke."Okay."My heart soared. It seemed like my mom was finally ready to walk out of the darkness.But the peace didn't last long.One day, my mom had just opened the door to the flower shop when an uninvited guest was standing there.It was my dad.It had only been a few months, but he no longer looked like

When I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital room.My mom was sitting by the bed. Her eyes were terribly red.The moment she saw me wake up, tears started falling. "I'm sorry, Lily. Mommy couldn't protect you. You almost never woke up again."I shook my head gently and pressed my face into her warm chest. "No, Mommy. You saved me."The two of us held each other tight. All the sadness we had been holding in for so long finally burst out. The quiet hospital room was filled with nothing but our soft crying.A long time passed before our emotions finally settled down.I rubbed my red eyes, looked around curiously, and asked in a small voice, "Mommy, are we in a different world now?"My mom's body went stiff for a moment. Then she gently wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes. "Yes. I'm sorry, Lily. Mommy took you away from that world without asking you first..."I cut her off and grabbed the hem of her shirt tightly. "I want to be with Mommy forever. I'd go anywhere with you."
