My Mother's Choice Chapter 11
Mom's lower back slammed into the rusted metal corner of the iron bedframe in her tiny apartment. History repeated itself in the cruelest, most ironic way. She writhed on the floor in unbearable pain.Fiona panicked. However, instead of calling an ambulance, she took the opportunity to steal the last few dollars from Mom's pocket. That very night, she bought the cheapest bus ticket she could find, fled the city, and never came back.Three days later, the landlord noticed a foul smell coming from the apartment and forced the door open.By the time Mom reached the hospital, she had completely lost all feeling in her legs. She had already suffered from severe chronic lower back injuries.Years earlier, I had lived as frugally as possible. I used the money I had earned through my hard work to prepay for a full year of rehabilitation therapy for Mom at a clinic downtown.It should have been the care that allowed her to enjoy a peaceful old age. Instead, she drove me away with her own h
My Mother's Choice Chapter 10
Mom had forced me to eat roast beef covered in double the usual amount of sweet glaze. She believed I had run away from home only because I was protesting her favoritism.In her mind, she had finally found the key to earning my forgiveness.Three days later, on a stormy winter night, rain poured from the sky.I had just finished working late.The moment I stepped out of the company building, I saw Mom standing alone in the downpour, completely soaked. She had spent the last of her money renting someone else's kitchen. Then, she waited for me in the rain for six straight hours. Held tightly against her chest was a cheap insulated food container. The instant she saw me, it was as if she had found her last chance to survive. She stumbled toward me, her hands red and numb from the cold. Holding the container out with both hands, she looked more humble than I had ever seen her."Sunny... I didn't leave. I made soup for you." Mom shivered violently. "I simmered it for four whole hours
My Mother's Choice Chapter 9
Mom bought the cheapest long-distance bus ticket she could find. Crossing several states, she traveled to the city where I worked.Then, every day, she waited outside my office building for me to appear."Ms. Charlton, the car is ready."My assistant held open the company's glass doors. Surrounded by executives and security personnel, I walked down the front steps."Sunny! Sunny!"A hoarse voice suddenly cut through the crowd. An elderly woman in tattered clothes came rushing out of nowhere. She shoved past the outer ring of security guards and threw herself straight at me."Sunny! I've come to find you! I finally found you!"Mom collapsed at my feet. Clutching my leg tightly, she sobbed uncontrollably.The executives and security guards froze in shock.I looked down at the woman before me. Her face was covered in wrinkles. Tears and mucus streaked across her cheeks. There was nothing left of the woman I once knew. She kept talking about blood ties, about family, about how dee

"I meant to hit you! Everything you have today was bought with Sunny's sacrifice! What right do you have to stand here and complain?"Mom grabbed Fiona by the collar of her designer dress. With one violent tug, she ripped it open. "Take it off! You don't deserve to wear this! It was bought with Sunny's blood, sweat, and tears!" Her eyes burned red as she frantically tried to tear the clothes off Fiona."Ah! You're crazy! Let go of me!" Fiona screamed and fought back. Her fingernails dug deep into Mom's arm, leaving long bloody scratches.Mom winced in pain but refused to let go. She grabbed the camera strap around Fiona's neck and yanked hard. The camera slipped free. Mom raised it high above her head and smashed it onto the floor with all her strength.The brand-new professional camera, worth thousands of dollars, shattered into pieces. The lens exploded across the floor."My camera!" Fiona let out a heart-wrenching scream. She collapsed beside the broken pieces, sobbing hyster
My Mother's Choice Chapter 7
"Gone...?"Mom's lips trembled uncontrollably. Her knees buckled, and she nearly collapsed onto the professor's office floor. She had always believed that when I left home, I did not have a penny to my name. She was convinced I would struggle to survive on my own.Sooner or later, I would have nowhere else to go and would come home to beg for forgiveness.Only then did Mom finally realize the truth. The daughter she had always been so proud of... was a fool. If Fiona had not stolen that opportunity... the one standing in the spotlight today, with an unlimited future ahead of her, would have been her younger daughter.However, before Mom could even process that cruel realization... another devastating blow landed. The laboratory's compensation bill was so enormous that it left her breathless.She walked out of the university campus in a daze. The cost of replacing the damaged research materials and equipment was staggering.She knew there was no way her family could afford it. The
My Mother's Choice Chapter 6
That night, Mom had decided to make it up to me for stealing my place in Professor Wilson's lab. She had cooked a roast beef dinner herself. However, instead of making it the way I liked it, she had seasoned it to suit her older daughter.I hated sweet things. In fact, anything too sweet made me nauseous. Even so, I had sat there quietly without saying a word."Is it good?" Mom had asked with an eager smile."It's good."The memory hit Mom like a bolt of lightning. Her heart suddenly pounded out of control, and cold sweat soaked through her back.She ignored Fiona's complaints. Setting the plate down with a loud clatter, she turned and ran into the storage room. Like she had been possessed, she ripped open the black trash bags she had thrown there. Their contents spilled across the dusty floor.She searched desperately, hoping to find something that proved I would come back. Instead, all she found were stacks of perfect exam papers. Every single one had a perfect score, from elem
