My Heart Rots Inside My Brother's Chest Chapter 8
The moment the verdict was handed down.Marcus collapsed onto the floor, his face an unreadable mix of relief and despair. Erika remained sitting there blankly, her hands still tracing the shape of a heart in the empty air.One household, two children, two elite professionals...This earth-shattering tragedy finally drew its curtain in the most devastating yet just way possible. I watched it all unfold, my mind completely at peace.My soul had grown so translucent it was almost invisible. It was time to leave....On the day Marcus was executed, the sky was menacingly dark, looking as if it might collapse at any moment.I didn't go to watch it. I only heard that before he died, he didn't struggle, nor did he cry anymore.He simply faced forward and whispered, "Emily... I'm coming to atone."A sharp bang rang out, bringing an end to his sinful life.My soul floated one last time into the high-walled forensic psychiatric facility. Erika was kept in a solitary ward. She clutched

Erika just sat blankly in the corner of her cell day after day, using her finger to draw the shape of a heart on the floor.Once drawn, she would scrub it out fiercely with her foot. She drew it again and scrubbed it out again.She began to experience hallucinations, constantly feeling that a shadow covered in decaying flesh and oozing black blood was standing in the corner. It was the shadow of her beloved son.The shadow stared intently at her, questioning her in a hoarse voice."Mom, why did you kill me?""My body hurts so badly. It smells so rotten..."...Terrified, she would curl up into a ball, letting out piercing screams of horror.The son she loved most had become a ghost that would haunt the rest of her life, a nightmare from which she would never wake.I simply watched her with quiet composure. This woman, who had once controlled my life, turned into a pathetic lunatic.But my hatred toward her seemed to fade away bit by bit with Caleb's death and her descent into

The news swept through every corner of the city like wildfire.Reporters from major news outlets swarmed the area like sharks smelling blood in the water. They interviewed my homeroom teacher and our neighbor.In front of the cameras, Bruno broke down in tears."Emily was such a sweet child... Her grades were great. She was so well-behaved, just a bit too introverted and quiet. I should have realized something was wrong much sooner."She always had tiny needle marks on her arms. Whenever I asked her, she'd say she accidentally pricked herself. How could I have been so naïve to believe her back then?"Brigitte spoke with red-rimmed eyes. "That family was very strange. They rarely interacted with any of the neighbors."On multiple occasions in the middle of the night, I'd hear a girl crying from inside their house—a stifled, agonized weeping. The next day, when I ran into Erika and asked her about it, she just told me I was hearing things."At the hospital, Erika's former colleagu

The scene before them filled everyone present with shock and disgust. A person, barely recognizable as human, covered in decaying flesh and oozing black blood, lay on the cold operating table.The evidence was irrefutable.The officers discovered a full surgical setup in the basement—bloody scalpels, gauze, and, carelessly tossed into a tray, Caleb's diseased, necrotic heart.Cold handcuffs clicked around my parents' wrists, but somehow, Erika calmed down.As the police dragged her up off the floor, she mumbled endlessly under her breath, "I was just trying to save my son. What did I do wrong? I was just making the optimal choice..."Her icy indifference and lack of remorse infuriated Eduardo. He shoved her toward the door. "Tell the judge what you did wrong!"Caleb was rushed into an ambulance, but it was far too late. On the way to the hospital, he stopped breathing from severe septic shock and multiple organ failure.The "new life" my parents had meticulously engineered las

Erika took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.She straightened her disheveled hair and clothes, forced a stiff smile onto her face, and walked over to open the door."Officers, how can I help you?"Leading the way was an older, seasoned detective named Eduardo Koch. His sharp eyes scanned Erika's face, and he got straight to the point."We received a report from Emily Buckley's homeroom teacher, stating that she has gone missing. We're here to investigate the situation."Erika immediately adopted an expression of heart-wrenching agony."Oh, it's so embarrassing. That child is so rebellious right now. She had a huge fight with us over some boy and ran away from home."She turned around to retrieve an envelope from the entryway console. "This is the letter she left behind. See for yourselves. As parents, we're just worried sick about her."Eduardo took the letter. The creases on the paper were new, and the ink was so fresh it hadn't even fully dried. He exchanged a subt

Erika gave Caleb some medicine and stayed by his side for a while longer before finally leaving the room.What she failed to notice was a small patch of rash that had developed on the arm Caleb had been scratching.The next morning, Caleb's blood-curdling scream shattered the peace of the estate. Marcus and Erika bolted up from their bed, sprinting straight into his room.Caleb was sitting on his bed in terror, pointing frantically at his body. "Mom! Dad! Look! What is this?"Large, purplish splotches covered his arms, his chest, and even his face. The rash had clustered together into horrific, sickening patches."It's itching so badly! It hurts!" He clawed at himself frantically, but the harder he scratched, the faster the dark blotches spread across his skin.Erika, as a top cardiothoracic surgeon, recognized what it was in an instant. Her face drained of all color."Hyperacute rejection... No way!" she muttered, her eyes wide with disbelief. "How is it possible? The match was
