The cold corridor of the morgue was filled with chilling gusts of wind. My mother shivered uncontrollably, but she did not back away. She urgently needed an answer to prove that I was still alive.

Throughout the journey, she shook her head like a rattle. "Impossible! The fortune teller said he was tough and would kill the family. There's no way it's him. What new prank is this? Has he had enough?"

Unfortunately, no one answered her. The journey that lasted just a few minutes was terrifyingly q

  • My Brother's Scapegoat   Chapter 10

    The truth was the sharpest sword.Their so-called sacred love had an ulterior motive from the very beginning. Zelda was nothing more than a tool for him to insult me.She did not understand why a man who loved her would let her follow him without defining their relationship.Unfortunately, I, who used to shelter her from danger, was no longer around.Unable to contain her tears any longer, she suddenly recalled my kindness and sat on the ground, calling my name nonstop, but it was too late.My mother's condition was even worse. She sat on the ground, shaking her head repeatedly. "It can't be. None of this is real. My son should be alive and waiting for me to come home for dinner. No... He won't forgive me... I'm not a good mother."Looking at the lost and bewildered looks of the two on the ground, Ian seemed extremely pleased. "You two idiots. Live in guilt for the rest of your lives. Hahahaha."My mother was momentarily dazed before standing up abruptly.Before anyone could re

  • My Brother's Scapegoat   Chapter 9

    Ian was no longer arrogant. He lowered his head and remained silent.No matter what the police said, he just shook his head.Seeing that there was nothing they could do to him, the victim got out of bed, walked unsteadily to him, and raised his hand to slap him. "Why can't you do something better when you're perfectly healthy? Why do such a despicable thing?"My mother was anxious seeing her precious son beaten. "Why can't you just talk? Why hit him?"She seemed to have forgotten that her good son not only hit others but also almost cost someone their life.However, the police officer suddenly placed a document in front of my mother. "Don't you want to know what your good son did behind your back?"She was completely confused, not understanding how this was related to her. However, curiosity still drove her to open the document. What it contained was Ian's criminal history, ranging from petty theft to arson and robbery.However, what shocked my mother the most was that Ian had k

    They had thought that their peaceful life would continue until their deaths, but the truth could not be contained. The old man who was robbed denied it as soon as he woke up.On the hospital bed, he trembled and pointed at my photo. "No, I will never forget that little b*stard's face! Whether he was trying to rob me, the way he struck me was so brutal that he was clearly trying to kill me."The mistake of executing the wrong person was enough to cause an uproar throughout the entire police department.My mother and Ian were summoned to the police station overnight. Zelda, who was on a date with Ian, came along.A bad premonition filled their hearts.Especially Ian; his legs were shaking so much that he could not stand still when he reached the entrance of the police station.The experienced police officer immediately sensed something fishy. "Why are you so nervous about coming to the station?"Ian was almost scared to the point of sitting on the ground, but he still answered thr

    Life went on. My mother was mentally unstable for a while, and the family lost its source of income. Plus, Ian was used to spending money extravagantly. They soon found themselves struggling to make ends meet.My mother was forced to get over the grief of losing me and return to her workplace.As soon as she sat down, nosy colleagues surrounded her and asked all kinds of questions. "I heard Mason is gone. He was such a nice kid. My condolences."When she heard my name, my mother instantly waved her hand like a child who had done something wrong. "It was his fault for going astray; otherwise, he wouldn't have died so young. It's also my fault as his mother for not raising him well. Oh."Her eyes were vacant for about a dozen seconds. 'Were you thinking of me, who died unjustly, or Ian, who committed numerous crimes?'After learning about my death, the two of them had a fierce argument.My mother questioned Ian why I was executed when I was only imprisoned to take the fall for his

  • My Brother's Scapegoat   Chapter 6

    After my body was sent to the funeral home, my mother sat on the couch, staring blankly at the only family photo in the house.She would never see my bright smile in the photo again.Everything happened so unexpectedly.She never intended for me to die, but she had no choice.Several days of intense stress had caused problems with her mental health; she would suddenly stand up at the slightest disturbance. "Is Mason back? Why is he back so late? Did something happen outside?"No one responded.Undiscouraged, she shook her head and returned to her seat. "Why is he out so late? I'll have to lecture him when he comes back."The motherly love I had never felt for so many years suddenly burst out miraculously after my death.My favorite dishes appeared on the dining table at home, and the refrigerator was filled with expensive fruits. My mother even bought the expensive computer and placed it in my room. She asked Ian tirelessly. "Do you think your brother is happy now? When will he

It felt like a century had passed when my mother's hand trembled as she placed it on the doorknob, but she could not make up her mind to open the door. "Mason, I'll give you one last chance! Come out and admit your mistake immediately. If... If I find out you're lying to me.
