Chapter 5

Author: Blue Bean
My skin was ice-cold, devoid of any warmth, and my body was also extremely stiff.

"Y-your skin… Why are you so cold?"

Dad recoiled at once as if he'd just been electrocuted, a fleeting look of panic crossing his eyes.

However, his panic was quickly suppressed by his preconceived notions.

"Of course. You're lying on the ground in thin clothing. Makes sense that you're freezing," he said with a cold laugh before standing back up.

"Your stupid pity-play won't work on me. I don't care if you fr

    "I'll buy you another bottle of hand sanitizer spray. I'll reinstall the lock on your bedroom door. Just open your eyes and look at me, Zach, please," Dad begged.Charlie woke up at once with a start and struggled desperately in Dad's arms."Mr. Davies! What are you doing? Let me go!"The whole class was terrified. The female students screamed and ran out of the classroom, while the male students rushed up to Dad to try and pull him away."Don't touch him! He's sleeping. You'll wake him up!"Dad was incredibly strong, and nobody could pull him off poor Charlie. It wasn't until the principal himself, Mr. Patrick Brooks, and a handful of security guards rushed in to intervene that Dad and Charlie were finally forcibly pulled apart.Charlie was so traumatized that he collapsed to the floor in tears."Mr. Davies! Wake up! That's Charlie Hartman, not your son!"Mr. Brooks pointed angrily at Dad and said, "You can't possibly continue teaching in your state anymore. You're indefinitel

    "You can have the house, but the money in the bank will belong to me. I'm also taking Zeke away."Dad stared at the divorce papers with a blank expression on his face. Then, he shook his head mechanically."You can't leave, Bianca. Zach still hasn't forgiven me yet. If you leave now, then this family will be torn apart.""This family was already torn apart the moment you locked Zach up in the abandoned classroom," Mom replied, shoving a pen into his hand. "You're a murderer. You don't deserve to be a father."Dad's hand trembled so much that he couldn't even hold the pen properly. The divorce papers also fell into the snow.Zeke hid behind Mom the whole time, not even daring to look at Dad at all. He tugged at Mom's shirt hem and urged quietly, "Let's go, Mom. It's very cold here."Dad lunged at Zeke and grabbed him by the arm, refusing to let him go."You can't leave either, Zeke. You must stay with me. Stay with me, okay? Bianca, you can't take Zeke away from me! You must give

    Dad rushed up to the figure in the bed and tore the blankets off Zeke. Then, he grabbed Zeke by the hair and dragged him out of bed."What did you mean when you said that at the hospital, Zeke Davies?"Dad's eyes were bloodshot, and he had completely gone mad at this point. "You knew from a long time ago that Zach was sick, didn't you?"Zeke got such a fright that he burst into tears at once and struggled to free himself."Dad! You're hurting me! I don't know what happened! I don't know anything about it!""You're lying," Dad said, lifting his hand and slapping Zeke harshly on the face."You said that Zach could only stay awake by stabbing the compasses into his leg. Where did you see him do it? How?"Zeke was in a daze from the slap, and he held a hand to his face while cowering in a corner. But as Dad continued glaring at him ferociously, he broke down again and admitted, "I-I saw his recommendation letter from the hospital. But I was worried that you would stop loving me an

    Dad completely lost his temper and started ransacking the place. He threw all of my clothes on the floor and tore my books apart, one by one."There must be a reason! Zach would never have stabbed himself repeatedly for no reason! He must be hiding something from me!" Dad muttered under his breath while still tearing my room apart.Finally, he found a plastic L-file folder hidden at the very bottom of a dusty cardboard box under the bed. It held a couple of pieces of torn paper.Dad shook out the pieces of paper and turned on his phone flashlight. Then, he kneeled on the floor as he pieced the paper scraps together with shaky hands.It turned out to be a hospital recommendation letter that he had personally torn apart with his own hands half a year ago.Back then, Ms. Smith had suggested taking me to the hospital for a proper checkup, but Dad still thought that I was faking everything and tore up the recommendation letter into shreds in front of the hospital.Now, he was piecing

    The door to the emergency room was suddenly pushed open, and the attending emergency doctor came out, removed his mask, and walked out with a grave expression on his face."Who here is the family member of Mr. Zach Davies?""I'm his father," Dad said, stepping forward at once. "When will he finally wake up, doctor? He still has two more exam papers to sit for tomorrow."The doctor was stunned and stared at Dad incredulously."Mr. Davies, we've done our best," he finally said, taking a deep breath as he spoke in a grave voice. "The patient had no vital signs when he arrived. A brain CT scan showed severe intracranial hemorrhage, and the optimal time for resuscitation was missed."We therefore declare that the patient, Zach Davies, is dead.""That's bullshit," Dad said, calmly interrupting the doctor. He didn't cry or make a scene, and his eyes didn't even reflect an ounce of emotion in them. He just calmly retrieved a small bottle of hand sanitizer spray from his bag that he alway

I don't care if you freeze to death here tonight, but you're going to redo this paper even if it kills you."Ms. Morgan happened to walk past just then with a small stack of draft paper that she never finished distributing after all. When she glanced into the classroom, she suddenly dropped everything to the floor and let out a blood-curdling scream that pierced through the silent hallway.She then slapped a hand over her mouth and pointed at the puddle of congealed blood on the floor."B-Blood… Mr. Davies, Zach l
