  • Gone From the World for Good   Chapter 9

    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."

But later, she stopped depending on him entirely. She traveled constantly, sometimes gone for months at a time.He argued with her, his face dark with frustration. "Claire, the world out there is dangerous. Can't you just stay quietly by my side like a good girl?"Claire would hold his hand and act playfully, but her voice was sincere. "David, I have my own career too. Those kids are suffering so much. I want to help them."That ar

    David stared at the empty air in disbelief, barely able to breathe.How could this be? They disappeared?The wind howled past. The two falling figures from just a moment ago seemed like nothing more than his imagination.But the sudden, hollow agony blooming in his chest was so real it took his breath away."Holy shit—what the hell was that? Were they ghosts?"The kidnappers, who had been so arrogant just seconds ago, were now scrambling over each other to get away, their faces twisted with terror.David's eyes turned bloodshot. He lunged at one of the men and grabbed him, half-mad with rage. "Where's Claire? Where's Lily? How can they just disappear? Did she pay you to put on this whole act? How much did she give you?! I'll pay you triple—no, ten times. Tell me where they are!"The man in his grip was shaking with pure fright. His eyes were blank with confusion and fear. "I don't... I don't know! How is this possible? That bitch—was she really a ghost? It wasn't my fault! I

    Sarah locked me in a room.My clothes were still wet. I sniffled quietly, wrapped myself in a blanket, and fell into a deep sleep.I don't know how much time passed before I suddenly felt myself being lifted into warm arms.I opened my eyes groggily. My mom was holding me, dirty and disheveled. The countdown above her head had changed to 1.She touched my burning body and gasped. "You're so hot! Lily, you have a fever!"My mom didn't care about anything else anymore. She ran for the door with me in her arms.But at the doorway, Sarah was waiting with several large men. They blocked our way.My mom held me tighter and glared at her. "What are you trying to do?"Sarah didn't look weak or gentle at all. She gave a smug smile. "Aren't you so proud of yourself? Weren't you always so high and mighty? Look at you now—what a mess."My mom's eyes turned red. She screamed, "Get out of my way! If anything happens to Lily, I'll kill you!"Sarah laughed softly. She raised her hand and sla
